Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[on the sideline]

Agree here also, part of the reason why we have such great attendances at games and the joy of knockout football is giving smaller teams the chance of knocking a big team out! And there is no way in hell we could throw more fixtures at our County board!!

Do we? It was only a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how the attendance at this year's SFC Final was notably lower than in previous years. Plus, is there any way to quantify attendances in earlier rounds to those elsewhere in Ulster, at least?

Leave the championship alone. We have the best in Ulster with the straight knockout format. Do or die on the day is what championship is all about.

Antrim, Derry & Fermanagh all ran a straight knockout format for their Senior Football championships this year as well, there's nothing special about Tyrone also using the same format.

It's that format that makes Tyrone special. You shouldn't be able to win a championship having lost a game in it imo.

Exactly what makes every game competitive and helps gain new winners every year save the tables for the league, for example this year carrickmore the 13th best team in the division able to make a semi final which helps a small club like that enjoy big days out which they probably wouldnt with another format

The Derry club championship has only recently changed back to a straight knock out system. They used to have groups and games were played in a round robin system. They ditched it because there ended up being some meaningless games and very poor attendances. There is nothing wrong with the Tyrone championship but there is with league fixtures so why are we discussing about changing the championship??

[tyroneStatto]

The only thing that would need changed with the championship is to separate it from the league so the league can do it's own thing without having to rely on County Players for 2/3 of games.
This should allow for a proper run of league games especially during the summer months.
As an example you could have the likes of Pomeroy (with 3 or 4 county players) playing in Division 2 but in the Senior Championship.

To be fair i am in favor of groups but i see your point, more small clubs at the bottom of the league can get a good run easier, happened last year as well

Pearseblue your six one, half a dozen the other. Dont know what you want.
It was just last week you were on a different thread arguing about the Tyrone Championship and how the straight knockout is the best and Tyrone is the most competitive in ulster because of it.

I said tyrone was the most competitive championship hands down, not because of the structure, because any team can win on any given day. Would still be the most competitive in ulster even with a system change

I agree with you on that, the bold that is. I think a system change would give smaller clubs a lesser chance of getting far. Look at trillick, they would never have gotten as far with a group system for example, as the better clubs wouldn't been caught sleeping twice.

Subtlety is a skill you have yet to master TOTS, too obvious.  A 2/10 on the wummery scale.

Sir, wise up, stop Trillick bashing. You have slated Trillick all year and have slated them again here and in your predictions for the weekend, be quiet and see how the lads do.

[Jimbop]

Any ideas when the playoff semi finals will be?

[trileacman]

A jack of all trades.

And the master of none.

How many clubs are now manager-less and on the hunt for the new season? E.g. Is Pascal Canavan still at Errigal

Who are now the most sought after managers / Management teams that are available?

Who was the money to spend

Would Pascal manage another club in Tyrone?

[skeog]

Mighty unlikely Tiffy would though.

Loughmacrory making waves around the county again for all the wrong reasons. Refusing to change the game today after a death in the Strabane club leading Strabane to concede the game. Very unnecessary.

Lough changed the time of the game twice at Strabane's request, first til 2pm then til 11am. Then Strabane decided not to field.

loughmacrory as a club would need to really have a long hard look at themselves, great facilities but truly being let down by the antics of their players and management on and off the pitch!!! the photographic evidence is their to back up the disgusting acts carried out, and to not change the game for a club mourning the loss of a valued member really is the lowest of the low.  i always had alot of time for the lough and their members, but this latest news is the final straw!!!!  chairman would need to change the current culture of that club ASAP before they become the most hated club in tyrone!!
