Quote from: Topoftheworld on April 16, 2026, 12:13:28 PMafter winning the recent u20 all irelands we wanted Ruairi Canavan, Michael McGleenan, Michael Rafferty and Shea O'Hare to name a few starting for the seniors instantly. I dont think its as clear cut to say a brilliant u20 player at 19 or 20 years old is ready to start or even play for the senior team. It takes time. Even DC took a few years to get up to speed and show at that level. Our better players against Armagh - Conn & McKernan are both 28/29. They won the All Ireland when they were 23/24 so I do think it takes that 2-3 years of training, learning, and conditioning after u20. McElholm is absolutely unreal, unmarkable at u20 level last year, and even he is finding the going tough this year. But itll come

It takes a lot of care to bring on u20s to Senior properly/fairly to max. benefit for all. l don't think McElholm has been well served by senior manangement. AI semi instead of 40 minutes of Harte to soften Kerry up McElholm starts.
Then he is held back to cameo sub. Then he starts against Armagh when he should have been a sub for McCurry who has clearly lost his edge after wonderful service. Of course nearly all u20 stars need 3-5 years to find their feet as Seniors so care needed not dumping them in. And bringing on those young fellas against Armagh in last quarter does not look thought out just hopeful desperation.

Need more care and more plans or Tyrone will waste/turn off loads of talent. Management seems unplanned and just reactive in so much and that is sure to put young talent off.

I think you'd be a brilliant manager.
You seem to know exactly what to do and how to handle the young lads better than the current management.

Thanks. l agree.
No point being on this forum if you don't have a clear opinion?

Is Hampsey due back anytime soon?

No Ruairi McCullagh tonight again, he must have a quite a serious injury?

Donegal have to be huge favourites, had a look at their team and it's stacked with players from last year's team. Thought Kevin Muldoon was a fantastic footballer last year.

No

TyroneTam · April 22, 2026, 08:28:35 PM

That's four really simple handpasses going astray this game, can't be that casual if we wanna get through here. Still not out of it yet though with that wind at our backs

Great results for the U20s especially when you consider they are missing one of the best forwards in the county. Some fight shown again

Who was missing? Great second half performance, brilliant to pull that one out of the bag.
Paul Devlin is the man

TyroneTam · April 23, 2026, 01:52:18 PM

Ruairi McCullagh missing as well as Concanon from Ardboe who was up there with Shea McDermot as the stand out player this year.

Ruairi Mcullagh was missing. Scored a great 2 pointer to beat us in championship.

Sean Og Patriots · April 23, 2026, 02:16:22 PM

McCullagh - What's his injury?

Concanon probably the biggest talent out of Ardboe. Id find it very surprising if Tyrone don't go on to win it now.
