Yeah wouldn't be shocked to see Peter Donnelly back either but guess we'll know more by Tuesday evening.

Is Donnelly not still with Ulster and the Ireland 7's team. Getting paid to fly round the world with that would beat a wet Tuesday night in Garvaghey.

Yeah no chance Peter Donnelly returns. He's on too good a gig just now. And fair play to him.

R Brennan outstanding again today, best defender in the county by some distance. O'Rourke first phonecall.

Any word on a backroom team?

Peter Donnelly being available and fit to go and take coalisland until the end of the season. Maybe some hope then that his schedule allows him to work with Tyrone as well 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Declan Bogue tweeting that Ryan Porter and Leo 'Dropsy' McBride (Ballygawley) in with O'Rourke. I'd have faith in what Bogue says..

Impressive interview on Tyrone Facebook with O'Rourke. I think we've a great 3 years ahead of us.

Mentions that in his interview with Tyrone there online. Adding a couple of others yet and wants top additions. Peter Donnelly too big to add to ticket?

Joe McMahon away to coach Meath. Good luck to him.

Full backroom team won't be revealed until after the championship

Totally agree, I think it's been a while since Tyrone had a management team that everyone can fully row in behind. For years we had the pro Mickey and anti Mickey camps. Maybe we had a bit of harmony in 2021 when Logan and Dooher delivered Sam but people still had their doubts which festered and it became more obvious as time went on that the lads time has run out. It was a pretty grim last 2 years.

So, regardless of the ridiculous argument on whether Malachy is "Tyrone enough" or not, there can't be a single football fan in Tyrone who thinks he doesn't have the credentials to bring success back to the county. I hope the supporter base uses this optimism to get back out and support the team in numbers again. With Malachy's appointment and the level of underage success, coupled with a few top class older heads with All Ireland medals in their pockets, its genuinely an exciting time to be a Tyrone fan again. Bring on 2025!!
