Quote from: Truthsayer on June 01, 2025, 01:33:20 PMTyrone have been better than last year and could still go on a run. Last year they conceded six goals against Dublin in the league and made hard work of Clare. Lost at home to Roscommon in the championship. Mayo were in do-or-die mode yesterday while county was still basking in Donegal win that probly rubbed off on the players too.
Tyrone have improved and the new management deserve a bit of time. Was there first bad performance since round 3 of the league. Beat Cavan and the show goes on. Some people too eager to jump on yesterday like they've been waiting their opportunity.

Not sure if it was so or die mode for Mayo though either but they needed a big result.


Yesterday's win means nothing unless they can beat Donegal.
Is needing to win to stay in the competition not 'do-or-die' ? I don't mean 'die' literally 😊

Quote from: Captain Obvious on May 31, 2025, 09:57:31 PMVery poor by Tyrone tonight somewhat lost the run of themselves with that win over Donegal who was a little lost without Patton. Well done Mayo with that win they blow the group wide open.

The win over Donegal and the manner of it cannot be underestimated, both in terms of what it meant to Tyrone and Donegal. Tyrone certainly didn't back it up tonight which is disappointing but they're still a work in progress after a couple of years when they were a rudderless ship. Also missed some key men while blooding some very talented young players - with a lot more to come. And crucially, the narrative that Mayo were done was seriously flawed. Anyone who thought Tyrone had "lost the run of themselves" wasn't seeing the bigger picture


Bar Brian Kennedy who was missing?

Hampsey was missed at the back and Kennedy in the middle as well as the leadership both bring to the team.

Can't put McElhome in that bracket yet but he'd have been a handy option.

Ultimately Tyrone just weren't good enough last night but perspective is crucial, the key thing is progress over the season and now isn't the time to judge.

Patton is missing again for Donegal today.

I don't think there's a bigger loss for Donegal. They still should have too much for Cavan.

Shocking goal to concede from Derry there.

Who's on Co comms?

How many steps did he take

Shane mcentee?

This is a good game so far- good atmosphere.

0-6 to 1-2 after 15. Cavan react quicker to deflected shot to get a goal.

Donegal would want a good lead at HT as there is a stiff breeze.

Maher - took a very generous number of steps before he shot. Derry haven't let it upset them too much

Shane Walsh quality. Derry will be kicking themselves here - should be ahead by a good bit. Referee ropy enough.
