Mickey played a blinder on the line. How did Fermanagh do?

any reports from todays game? who played well?

I tend not to give you a hard time, I try and respect opinions but if you cared about the game that much you would have been there.

Coalisland was a great venue, I thought. 3,000 attendance well managed. Credit to the Fianna club.

[Fuzzman]

What's the early thoughts about Tyrone new lads pushing through this year?
Will we see Richie Donnelly become a regular if he can stay fit. Big IF I agree.
Will Lee Brennan finally become a regular this season? Is he considered too small or not as hard working as young Mulgrew? Has he a big year ahead of him?

Will Meyler be better suited in the half back this year like he was played in St Mary's or will he be in and out of the team like before?

Who is this McLaughlin lad from Omagh? Age? Size? Best position?
Also Ben McDonnell? Any good? Was I sitting beside him at the All stars? Very young lad up for MF prize?

Are ye all expecting Frank Burns to become a regular this season along with the two McGearys. From the outside looking in there certainly seems to be plenty of options fighting to get onto the starting 15 and I'm looking forward to the first league game in Galway.

There are some interesting prospects there.

I'd like to see some change in the full back line, I think we need more natural man markers there so chance for the likes of McKernan, HP McGeary, Cassidy and Burns to make a claim.

Ronan McHugh seems to have done reasonably well scoring rise in his run outs so far, looks like he might still have a bit of filling out to do but he's the only natural inside man we have around the 6ft mark.

I hope we will be more inclined to give a few of the lads who were on the periphery last year more of a run out this year. The likes of Cassidy, HP McGeary, Lee Brennan, McHugh need to get some game time in the league to adequately assess them. It would also be good to see if Rory Brennan, Richie Donnelly, McNabb and Meyler can shake off these niggly injuries they seem to be constantly carrying.

Loughran will be another good option when Moy conclude their club year.

For the league opener against Galway I think I'd like to see something along the following lines:

1. Morgan
2. McKernan
3. McCarron
4. Cassidy
5. T McCann
6. Hampsey
7. K McGeary
8. McNulty
9. McClure
10. M Donnelly
11. Sludden
12. F Burns
13. L Brennan
14. McHugh
15. McAliskey

Harte has been very flexible with players plans.

Conor Meyler missed the 2015 game with Meath as he had a trip away organised before being called into the senior side.
McCarron missed the 2015 game with Sligo due to his brother's wedding.
McCann and McNamee have missed starts of McKenna Cup games due to trips to Australia.
Etc

It's obviously in the way of experimentation. I don't think we did enough last season in the league and as such there are a number of players on our panel we don't know enough about. The established players like Harte, Donnelly, McCann, Sludden should all be given a rest at some part of the league this season. You don't see Kerry, Mayo or Dublin starting all their best players throughout the league. I think Colm Cavanagh's absence could be a blessing in disguise as he is such an important player we have to learn how to cope without him, what if he picks an injury or suspension before a big game, gets a black card during a big game, what do we do then?

That's really nice of him.

any reports from todays game? who played well?

Decent enough game in respect it went to the wire - St Mary's could have actually nicked a goal in last few minutes which would have put them a point up (if I remember correctly), not great conditions for anyone to be judged really.

St Mary's midfielder Oisin O'Neill probably best player on the pitch I thought, a very good footballer.

From Tyrone point of view Michael Cassidy was a willing outlet for goal kicks and breaking from defence, he's certainly got the build to make it at intercounty level. Interesting to see the two men staying up top the whole game, not a fan of this tactic unless you'll kick the ball into them when its 2 on 2 but none the less was nice to see. Still think Tyrone are ponderous on the break, get to the scoring zone and slows right down - side to side handpasses etc.

As stated earlier, great to see the game in Coalisland and they ran it well.

Sure.

[Moortown Spuds]

And to think there were some learned gentlemen looking mcgleenan to replace Harte........

McGleenan in my opinion is in the same bracket as Barton, a chancer.

[skeog]

Ah spud go easy Matty is feeling very fragile tonight he has players who Dregish might not feel good enough for their team.

[Club boi]

Out of curiosity, whats peoples opinions on the 3 Pomeroy lads starting and playing last night, about 7 hours after the burial of their friend and team mate?? Is it poor judgement on M.H expecting them to play or is it courageous on their behalf, just like O'D from Omagh??

Not judging, just a question??
