Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[NDA]

As far as I know Laceer is correct the U21s had one get together to give individual programmes, they are not training regularly.
Club football leagues in Tyrone shouldn't be delayed or moved because of county minors. There are around 2000 adult club players in the county and no adult games should be called off or rescheduled because of thirty or so 17 and 18 year old boys. Let the young lads get on with playing at their own age group and have the honour of representing their county and let the adult leagues continue on without them if necessary. Senior teams shouldn't be dependant on young boys to win games for them.
Personally I like league games on Saturday evening so I can get out for a beer on a Saturday night. Midweek league games are very difficult because of players working away from home etc. And the club championship starts next weekend so clubs won't want to play too close to that.
Underage club football has been a mess this year and the new format of trying to play all age groups at the same time hasn't worked. Minor club football has been delayed because of exams, holidays, county minors, and U-16 football which is on at present so all the blame for delays can't be given entirely to county teams. The adult championship starts next weekend and this will delay minor club football as well as clubs won't play minor games the same week as adult championship!
Anyway best of luck to the county minors at the weekend and I hope they win an another All Ireland because I think winning minors is still extremely important for the county.

I was told by a few different people that the Trone U21s had started to train in preparation for 2013, a few other posters seemed to be of that opinion too.  Apologies if that is not the case but obviously they have started some type of preparations.  The way things are headed you could very possibly see a scenario in the not too distant future where Tyrone clubs will soon no longer have access at all to any of their county players who will just be part of elite/county squads all year round.
Just to clarify I support Tyrone as much as the next man and appreciate its impossible to keep all parties happy but I support the club first and foremost.  Why do these county teams need to have complete control over these players and hold the season to ransom for the vast majority of the rest?  Is it to make these managers feel in control?  Is it because other counties do it? Whatever the reason its not promoting club football in a favourable light.

No senior fixture for 4 weeks, and we restart the gap with a Championship game with Brackaville who are not coming from a cold start.

The odds of winning for us are very slim, but still, you'd expect a sporting chance.

I think we must look at the way things have been developing in Club football. The good relationship between county managers particulalry at youth levels in football is being tested by over ambitious training plans and not allowing lads to develop into senior footballers with their clubs.  We have too many unwritten rules about playing and that needs straightened out.  What was tried this year has been unsuccessful, and hopefully not too expensive because it did appear that county senior type considerations were being put into the minor squad. I think at County Senior level we must go back to lads who have been seasoned by the knocks and learning curve of less pressurised club football.  Picking our squads we need to move away from the type of generic in-house-game footballer otherwise we as a county will decline further.  So in short what happened this year didnt work, can we get the 18 year olds some football now.  I would pick the case of the Raymie Mulgrews and Peter Donnellys as examples of exceptional talents but were players who did not benefit from 3 or 4 years of in house games.  And theres many more like them.  At least the senior management have the starred game system in place.  This looks to have been abused all year elswhere.  It needs dealt with.

Just looking at the amount of Div 2 Reserve games conceded this week. 4 out of 7 matches. Is this just a one off or is there a real problem for clubs fielding teams at this level?

I would say its probably more to do with holiday season.  A lot of people away / still on holidays at the moment.  That coupled with injuries that are no doubt picked up at this time of the year puts a strain on the senior panels of clubs meaning they have to dip more into the reserve team / squad.
