Just out of curiosity do yous think Lough will be far off a back to back?

Beragh with 28 players at their collective gym sessions from 2/3 weeks prior to Christmas. Great turn out to say the least regarding their low population. Everyone buying in to it. Heard a few teams in the East have been running the roads together. That's the thing now with club football most players aren't going out to become better at football, its more that everyone is looking after themselves.

Can we really sit here and say thats a joke? Its not like teams are training on the pitch 2/3 nights a week like they will be soon. People on here are not with the times at all.

Collective training organised by the management team 5-6 months before the league starts is a joke, people wonder why so many young players are getting out of the game, it is unreasonable to expect players to make that kind of commitment to play club football. I have worked with a lot of so called top managers, most of them work on a minus 6 week rule, they get the players together 6 weeks before the date of the first game, that's not to say they don't advocate the players getting together 6-8 weeks before that to do gym and/or running sessions, so lets just say 3 months in total, but this carry on of getting collective training in place 5 months before a ball is kicked is a joke.
Hunger and enjoyment are 2 vital ingredients, you can't have hunger if you are doing it every week, enjoyment goes out of it when you are doing it every week, it becomes a chore, that's the last thing you want as a manager. Quality not quantity...most players nowadays are looking after themselves physically, so you're not starting off with men coming back 2-3 stone overweight like back in the day, when people realise that you have to have enjoyment and hunger, they'll see better results, only team that should be training collectively in Tyrone at the present is Clogher, fair play to them!

Some teams need the training before others. Thankfully our boys could do with starting in April which I think is the plan. Got to time it right as well with a good championship draw (3 newly promoted teams) I think we could give it a good rattle.

Aww here we go again. If not this year next year and if not next year the year after?

Have to say I was very surprised to see Mattie Donnelly in there at 6. Thought Carmen deserved at least 1 aswell with McGarrity and Loughran having 2 very good campaigns but obviously you can't get everyone in. Glad to see Dobbs from Loughmacrory in there too, does a lot of the dirty work and plays the kind of role that can go under the radar in terms of credit.

Very true, you couldn't be far off with that team there and all them lads deserve nothing less. Would I be right in saying it could be one of the youngest all star teams this year on average? Great to see.

Teamtalk all star team predictions for tonight?
