Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[In hiding]

Seven players who didn't start on Sat night - R McNamee K McGeary C McCann D Mulgrew M Bradley and two Cavanaghs

How many of those do you believe would strengthen the team. Only 2 imo

[never kickt a ball]

Who are the missing seven.

Colm, Sean, Ricey, Jordan, Block, Enda, Dooher,

Or Enda, Mugsy, Hub, Peter, Stevie, Collie, McGuigan

Or Davey, Gourley, Holmes, Joey, Justy, Pascal, Marty

Or............

[skeog]

This thing about missing personnel is a distraction 4 of the 7 came on,didnt make much of an impression imo.

 the list of excuses some Tyrone people will make for the team not playing well is endless.

Just like your never ending stream of bulls*it. Surely the stream will run dry somewhere

You cant say we missed the 2 Cavanagh's when one Cavanagh has retired and never coming back.  But Colm Cavanagh will be back hopefully and we might get a chance to see Harry Loughran in a Tyrone shirt as well.

Out for long?  Mulgrew seems to have had a few shoulder problems over the past couple of years.

Cheers GlenMan. Any idea when he had surgery or when we may see him back?

Haven't had a chance to post properly since the Dublin game but I believe it wasn't a bad showing. There was enough change in emphasis for me to take notice with the long early ball going into McAliskey and Brennan. We had more presence and support around the HF line and some excellent support runs breaking through the Dubs HB line. Obviously, the shooting in the 2nd half let us down a bagful but that will improve significantly as the pitches harden and weather calms down a bit. Put it like like this, the Dubs didn't hit a wide in the second half compared to our horror show. There is a gap there that can be worked on.

The second goal for Dublin was totally Hampsey's fault. Some here are giving Morgan stick for being out there but he was doing the right thing. Dublin had a full press on so Morgan came out for the 1-2 to create the extra man. If the ball went to his chest he had a clear run out to the HB line.

If you get a chance listen to the second half of the GAA hour podcast, Wooly and Cian Ward gave a very good analysis of the game.

Think this is one of these times when people are happy to blame a player they seem to have a dislike for, rather than the actual truth of the matter here.

In your opinion what is the truth of the matter.
In my opinion Hampsey was at fault. He gave a poor handpass, end of story. It was a mistake , not a hanging offence

I think he means people like to kick Morgan around. I don't think he means no one likes hampsey.

I would blame hampsey for it too. Morgan was doing the right thing, it was just a tired hand pass. I'm very disappointed with how we tired in the last 20 mins. Richie, matty,Mc Laughlin,  Pete, hampsey, Mc Carron and Mc Clure all looked fucked after 50 mins and I think it contributed to the wides at that time of the match. Tired minds making mistakes. Dublin are incredibly fit. I don't think people realise the gap in fitness between them and the next Top 3 teams. It is frankly un-natural. Bear in mind there's a serious difference in fitness between the top 8 teams and the rest of the country.

[southtyronegael]

i dont think dublin are much ahead of everyone else fitness wise. just better coached. makes them look fitter cause they are so slick and enjoying their football, gives them a spring in their step. tyrone were on their 6th game of the year and dublin their second, so how could dublin be so much fitter than tyrone in the last 20 mins?
