Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[EastTyroneTickler]

Any early favourites for the Macrory cup this year? Due to start soon. Omagh CBS going for 3 in a row, when was the last time that was done? Cookstown surely to bring in a few new players from less economically developed schools such St Joes Coalisland and the "Dean" Carrickmore. Tyrone schools will be there there abouts again keeping the strong production line coming. I see St Joes Donaghmore are maintaining their position in the competition, good going for a girls schools...

At the end of the day once you become a referee you surely expect to receive public scrutiny...

Yea, public. By peple not afraid to show their face or share their name. Personal abuse posted to the internet from behind a cloak of anonymity isn't "scutiny", it's just the action of a cowardly little mouthpiece.

If your concern is genuinely about the standard of referring, and you don't want to get up off your ass to do something construcive about it, maybe write an email to the relevant person on the county board. Have the balls to put your actual name at the bottom of it though. Any maybe explain the decisions of the referrees you have an issue with and make suggestions about how to improve standards, rather than just sending an email merely listing who your top five "stupidest referee's in the county" are. Oh and you don't have to put an apostrophe before the 's' in every plural word you write.

Thank's for your feedback Snapchap's. It's spelt referees by the way.

Think you're missing the wider point, which is that when there are so many people telling you to cop yourself on and drop the nasty, personal anonymous abuse of GAA volunteers, maybe it's time for a bit of self-reflection.

In light of my recent posts I have decided to be impartial and provide my top 5 best referees in the county to suit the majority of the board who did not like my previous list.

Top 5 Best Officials in Tyrone:
1 - Martin Sludden - Controls games well knows when to nip stuff on the bud
2 - Sean Hurson - Lets his actions do the talking
3 - Martin Mohan - Younger fellas should take a leaf from his book as a referee, joy to watch officiating and has a personality to match
4 - Gary Gormley - Best referee in division 2 hands down
5 - Martin Coyle - Takes no shite and is unbiased in his officiating

Seems to be quite the trend from the Martins of the county in my opinion!

Killyclogher v Carrickmore

Kileeshil v Strabane
Aghaloo v Glenelly

Errigal Ciaran v Clonoe

My 2 cents on the upcoming games this weekend.

Game of the weekend will be the Errigal v Clonoe game.
Expecting to see Clonoe try and drop that high ball in all game, Errigal look weak anytime they're exposed to it and Clonoe clearly have the men to utilise for it in the McClure's, McNulty, Skeet or even Ryan Morrow.

Could see the KC game going to another draw, was nothing between the sides the first game.

Killeeshil should have far too much for Strabane, Micheal O'Neill and young Hoy shooting the lights out and that lad Doyle coming in off the bench.. Any word if Rory Gumley is back playing for strabane ?

Aghaloos fire power should be enough to see them past Glenelly. McElroy Donnelly and Mcglone would probably beat glenelly by themselves if someone kicked the ball out to them.

Our lads will have no problem getting past Clonoe. I was up watching training and chatting to a few ones involved and we will have the high ball issue resolved by all accounts.
Hopefully another great weekend of championship football

Just wondering how yous are solving the high ball problem in a week. Have your full backs taken growth hormones and summoned the powers of plunkett Donaghy?(what a fine head of hair that man had)

I do see the kc and carmen game being tight too, although I question the lack of balls in Both teams to win a championship anytime soon!

[gaasharpshooter]

Personally I fancy Errigal to have too much fire power second time around. Canavans both quiet the last day rarely do they play bad twice. However I can't see them getting past the winners of the carrickmore v killyclogher game. Dungannon v carrickmore final.

Lol. Probably should have been worked on before championship considering that if we beat Pomeroy we'd play Coalisland or Clonoe, both of which got joy out of the long ball against us in the league and in previous years

Have errigal considered dropping young Mccarton back into the full back line ? Solid defender and offers very little going foward !

Ruairi Canavan seems to be the player that makes Errigal tick. Hit at least 3 or 4 wides in the 1st half vs Clonoe. Stopping the ball in to Darragh just as important as having the right man on him. The Rahilly's to launch a few Gary Owen's into the likes of McClure & McNulty. Paddy Hunter will be loving life.

Who was it you were speaking to involved with Errigal? Was it a McBride by any chance?

Clonoe's championship pedigree is not to taken lightly, these boys have grown up watching very successful clonoe teams aswell as men on this team with oneill cup medals. For clonoe to have any chance they need young coney to have a stomer he's a real live wire if he gets his head right

[Jerome]

I believe Ben McDonald will be playing full back for Errigal in the replay.

He hasn't got it in his locker to do the job required of him in my opinion

Did enda mcginely tell you that personally Jerome ?

Carrickmore v Killyclogher DRAW
Loughmacrory v Dungannon DRAW
Ardboe v Trillick
Errigal Ciaran v Clonoe

Can see ardboe causing a shock, trillick haven't been scoring well this year.

More draws! Love to see it, counting the money already in Garvaghey 🤑🤑

Trillick will be fine, they'll buy plenty of handy frees and the free kick merchant will slot them over to boost his numbers. Think Brennan has missed more penalties than frees in the championship this past few years

God was I wrong! Trillick only got one scoreable free the whole game and they missed it 
I'm surprised too because I thought Basketball was a non-contact sport and they would've got more.
Pretty sure I seen Matthew Donnelly break out his best LeBron impression before sticking the ball in the onion bag - Can't blame the ref for it though or I'll be done for bullying
