Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[NotedObserver]

Ask the simple question, are the players there. Take out the 2 Canavans, what left up front?

Plenty of talent in Tyrone but serious work needed for the young lads to come through and compete

Disgraceful 2nd half from Tyrone after excellent 1st. What got into them? V 13 no score no ability to work a free man.That is pathetic.

Morgan 7 kicks to Kerry 4 with no challenge. Fullback line a disgrace Too light too young too slow hopeless full back out of place for 2 Clifford goals. Ruari Canavan 2 touches zero contibution Harte similar. Get over it! Bad misses from Bradley and Donnelly in 2nd half and McKiernan who got 2 brilliant 2 pointers in 1st half. What did O'Rourke say at half time? Was a total disaster l think. He needs to change his approach and plans quickly! Relegation looks likely and forget 2025.

[the goal was on]

Maybe you didn't realise but same as Derry game last night once you go into there half it's 11 v11 outfield players regardless of black/red cards . Also you defend 11 v 11 and if they bring keeper up they have the extra man. Farcical situation that surely the FRC should have seen . They only had a whole year to work these things out

2 black cards - we got zero benefit as it was 12 v 12 in Kerry half as we tried to score whilst 3 tyrone defenders v 1 Kerry fwd all scratching their arse in other half. .. law of unintended consequences

[Quarterbackk]

Early doors but worrying that this management couldnt recognise the requirement for paudie to be man marked.

[Aaron Boone]

It's a strong top division this year and Tyrone have now lost 3 in a row.
 
The Errigal men are back for the final games but it's been a tough campaign. A bit of luck will help and extra stamina in the 60-70 min window.

Am I being harsh if I said Morgan could have done better for the goals?

The entire defence could have done better.

The art of tackling seems completely lost. Seems that players are going for the man rather than the ball, to interested in pushing the player rather than going for the ball.


I think it was the 2nd Clifford goal where he held the ball out in front of him  and niall devlin stood looking at him waiting for Clifford to make a move instead of going directly for the ball.

Brendan Cawley in charge on Sunday, looking ominous..... hopefully Galway are in second gear with their points on the board, if they're at full pelt I can't see us getting anything. They've beaten us in the league in 2023 and 2024 and the meeting before that was the tanking down there in 2020

Tyrone just need to mark Shane Walsh properly. Don't let him kick 2pters, even 1pters for that matter.

That'll cut down Galway's scoring power significantly.

Galway could expose our weaknesses v quickly. Armagh were able to man handle us and Galway size could do the same. Kennedy needs to get help dealing the midfield aerial threats but it will be a stern test and will show again the level we need to get to

[tyroneman]

Is Ruairi McHugh anywhere near the senior set up - always seemed to be big potential there?

[HokeyPokey]

Ask the simple question, are the players there. Take out the 2 Canavans, what left up front?

I struggle to think of many other counties that have a set of inside forwards like Bradley, McShane, McCurry, Canavan x2 and McElholm?

Obviously all in varying form, but they've shown it in the past or have big potential.

Clifford is arguably the only inside forward who is definitely above Darragh C.

Depends on what Galway want. They might do a Donegal and step off the gas.

Clifford, Sean O'Shea, Conn O'Callaghan, Shane Walsh, Rian O'Neill, Oisin Gallen, Shane McGuigan.
Would any of the top teams swap their marquee forward for Darragh, I don't think they would.
Mayo are the only top team who haven't a forward as good or better than Darragh Canavan.
You could do this with any of our forwards - McCurry/McBrearty McElholm/Murray Bradley/Basquel McShane/Murnin Ruairi Canavan/Finnerty.
We haven't got an elite forward line when we compare with the other Division 1 teams.
