Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Truthsayer]

Much needed win, but struggled with a physical Div3 team for 40mins - Don't  think they are going anywhere fast atm with the amount of knocks a niggles we are picking up (surprised MOR let players play Sigerson, it has resulted in knocks they didn't need) But one big scalp can turn a season, but they are a mile off the top 4-5 teams.

Cork and Meath will be the acid test and with Meath size and athleticism i'm not hopeful

Wtf! All Ireland semi-final 2025:
Donegal 3-26 Meath 0-15   A 20 point defeat. Also lost Leinster final to a very middling Louth team. Some analysis that. Meath are a very poor outfit.

With McElholm now settling in well against Cavan and a good win [even if they should have got 6 goals] surely another step up against Louth [G Devlin or not]. Hope Jordan and Conor O'Neill get a full game and Morgan does no short kickouts til at least 50 mins gone! Is N Devlin fit yet?

Yes think Mcelholm inside line maybe the place for him for now and Conor Oneill looks totally at home at county level so far. Will Oneill come in for Cassidy? Cassidy doing well and hopefully he can make another step up and now adding a few more scores.

Will Daly continue at midfield?

[ClubScene13]

Teamtalkmag debating on their podcast if Sunday v Cavan is the worst attended Tyrone game since the 1990's, think it was around 2,000 at the game roughly

Probably right enough, but also hard to blame people. Live on TV versus Omagh in the winter is a no brainer for a lot of people. I'd imagine the game in Dungannon next week will get a better turn out for the novelty factor alone

I hope it doesn't rain. how many would the stand in Dungannon hold ?

20euro in as well doesn't help
People want to see the big hitters/glamour fixtures such as Kerry, Donegal, Armagh, Galway, Dublin etc.

Playing Cavan in Omagh has to be the most boring fixture there is

[Goals_Will_Come]

Playing in Healy Park is a big part of the problem. A lot of Tyrone poorer championship performances of the last 5 years even 25 years have come in Omagh. Thinking Mayo game last year and going back to Derry 2006, Down 2008 and Armagh 2014. Personally think the county would benefit from rotating the National League games around the clubs - Carrickmore, Pomeroy etc and playing Champ games between Omagh and Dungannon depending on opposition and expected crowd. Play Kerry or Dublin etc with bigger crowd go to Omagh, playing a Louth, Kildare go to Dungannon.

[Truthsayer]

Had the misfortune of going to Tyrone v Cavan in the Ulster Championship last year. Spent the second half in the clubroom drinking coffee with two lads watching it on the big screen. Would have went home only was someone with me. Most boring game at the worst venue. Cavan are dire. Would sooner have stuck needles in my eyes last Sunday than travel to that mismatch in Omagh...

Clare game in 2024 might have been the worst of all time. Horrible game, horrible performance, horrible atmosphere.

[Fuzzman]

I was just comparing last years team v Kerry to this years teams so far in the league.
Hopefully Hampsey and McGeary come back later on in the year and you'd imagine Dazzler will come back into that corner forward position.
Doubt we'll see Peter Harte come back later in the summer but you never know. Would be a great man to bring on to kick two pointers later in games.

1. Niall Morgan      O'Kane
2. Cormac Quinn      Rafferty
3. Padraig Hampsey   Aidan Clarke/Teague
4. Niall Devlin      Joey Clarke
5. Michael McKernan   Conor O'Neill
6. Peter Teague      Rory Brennan/Frank Burns
7. Seanie O'Donnell   Ben Cullen
8. Brian Kennedy   Joe Oguz
9. Conn Kilpatrick   Ben McDonnell
10. Ben McDonnell   K.McGeary
11. Eoin McElholm   Ruairi Canavan
12. Ciaran Daly      Ronan Cassidy
13. Darren McCurry   Ethan Jordan
14. Mattie Donnelly   Lorcan McGarrity
15. Darragh Canavan   Conroy/Bogue/McGleenan

Did I leave anyone obvious out?
I know a lot of people have been giving out about Malachy but in fairness he has brought in a good few new lads and most have done pretty well. Especially last years U20 lads. Playing these new lads in Div 2 was always the best plan, even if that means not getting back up to Div 1.

Winning midfield has become such a huge deal now and I wonder will Malachy try to solve that problem. Is it more about breaking ball that clean catches these days?

I was there too. Left 10 minutes early. Dreadful. Clare were poor and Tyrone an accident waiting to happen. Was like they weren't at it at all.. management was gone soon after.

Is McDonnell still on the panel? Didn't look fully fit last year against Omagh or Trillick

He's still there sitting behind the bench so assume is injured. Fair number of them injured. May see some return v Offaly? This weekend probably not the best game for people to return in
