My deepest sympathies to the Harte family and to her Husband, was absolutely shocked to hear this terrible news yesterday.

Would make a far better option at full forward than Aisake but thats for another day.
He is playing unreal Hurling at the moment too. His club did not start him as he was training with the Cork footballers . Came on at half time and scored 1-6 in 30 mins.Some of the scores were meant to be of the Henry Shefflin variety. Newstalk were even talking about his performance.

I remember going to a league match with the Tyrone freetaker of 73 about 20 years ago and the conversation came up about the Cork game in 73. He turned around to his son and said, "that day yer da was missing 14 yard frees in Croke Park." It was truly horrible stuff for Tyrone people accordingly. 36 years later we finally get a chance for revenge, Lose this gamne and we may well be handing the all ireland to Kerry. Win this game and the kingdom will be ours or (to keep hardy right) the chance to revisit 96/07 with our Meath friends.

10 Brian Dooher (C) Clann na nGael
12 Joe McMahon An Omaigh
Let's see Miskella and O'Leary launch their surging runs with Dooher and Mc Mahon hanging off them.

I think this Cork team has been overhyped, they are still essentially the same players that have folded in major Croke Park occasions over the past few years, i don't think it will be any different this time tbh unless they get a blinding start and put Tyrone on the back foot. Other then that they will have to hope that Tyrone take the foot off the gas at some stage - as they have tended to do on occasion this year.
A comfortable win for Tyrone.
Quote from: Zulu on August 20, 2009, 10:00:27 AMWe've plenty options on the bench, and better options than Cussen to put in full forward. I think Counihan and his selectors have come to realise that Cussen just isn't a full forward (although he's the potential answer to our hurling prayers in this position), and he operates better around midfield. You'll certainly see him and Fintan Goold introduced, probably at midfield with ten minutes or so remaining to freshen it up.
I reckon that's the team that will start too Ogie (and welcome aboard by the way) but if I was Counihan I would do something different just to knock Tyrone off balance. Harte will have dissected Cork's game plan and will have come up with something to nullify it, by changing it around Counihan could get the jump on Tyrone. It isn't like he doesn't have the options on the bench or players on the team who haven't disappointed, for example Donnacha O'Connor has been poor enough and Murphy doesn't perform well in physical confrontations so I'd look at both of them. The Cork half back line has been the springboard for many of Cork's attacks and they have thus far run at opposing defences and scored but if Counihan put Cussen in FF and put the ball in long and often Tyrone may be caught out a bit and although McMahon is big and did well last year on Donaghy it doesn't mean he would snuff out Cussen this year. In other words it might be worth a go, if it doesn't work out you can always go back to what you've done up to now and if it does work, even for a while, it might get you the few extra scores needed.
