Tyrone v Kerry Semifinal 2025

[blanketattack]

Heard a videographer called Mark Forde captured a great video of Cliffords 2 pointer. Anyone see it?

Morgan apparently taking time to think about his future. Id guess he'll stay but a serious gap is going to open in a major position.

 Another reason why anyone counting All Irelands from the very good underage talent is a fool.

Turns 34 today - you'd wonder if he might go for a reduced role next season if he does stay on - maybe sit out some of the games in the league and give a chance to some of the other goalie options to get some game time - he's still a teacher so championship would be less of a commitment issue. Anyone know what the options are like in terms of his potential replacements ?

The loughmacrory lad looks like an absolute unit. Haven't seen him play at club level so don't know what he's like, but he looks alot more physical than Morgan.

[Truthsayer]

I don't know why they changed the age from U21 to U20 and minors down a year. U21 was better.. another big year in a young players development and a better gauge whether they can make it through to senior county football.

I can't see Morgan retiring to be honest.

Committees set up and make changes to justify themselves. Joke as big gap from 20 to senior.

Yeah if I had to bet I'd be backing him to stay on for a year or two more.

However once a player goes over the thirty mark it's only a matter of time before things come to an end.

A goalkeeper is different to an outfield player.

Keepers cover some ground these days though.

He didn't have to cover as much ground this year and with Tyrone having a new stream of graduates coming through he could just be a keeper for a few years. He's still one of the best about if you're honest about it, shot stopping, command of the square and kicking, both dead and from the hand.

He's probably thinking will he still be at the top level by the time Tyrone break through and win their next AI. It might not be that far away but there's no guarantees.

yeah he's still top class and definitely has more years to give.

Goalkeepers different can mpderate role and stay top til late 30s ( soccer see Zoff italy 1970s and recent others) put O'Kane in for 3-4 league matches. Big issue 2 big men for spine CHB ChF CfF 2 of 3 badly needed. S&C all winter esp RC Daly Quinn still dont know who O'Rourkes real S&C cpach is. 1970s mgt. In too many ways)
Plus shot selection ( ie. Forward confidence 5-6 2pts missed in 9-10 wides v Kerry 2-3 could have been 1pts easily and of those 1 possible goal chance. Fix this
and AI on. Was never really on this year (and glad McQuillan rted.)

I know you're saying only a matter of time after 30, but if Sundays game had gone the other way we'd likely be looking at a 35 year old footballer of the year twice in a row, Murphy will possibly be nominated anyway although won't win it.

[JoG2]

Surely there's another 3 or 4 years in Morgan? Keeps himself in serious nick. Imo the best keeper in the game, but has been for a few years. Hopefully hangs up the gloves next week
