Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[redzone]

Watching the Monaghan game here again. We went 5-2 and Marty Clarke said he never seen Tyrone play as well and it looked like Tyrone could well steam roll Monaghan, and you couldn't disagree with it. Then it went tits up. They made us go long on our kickouts and cleaned us out and sparky got injured. Added to that some terrible tackling from McShane, brutal shot selection from Mccarron, mcnamee, Hampsey and burns. All defenders too. At 32 min we lead 7-5 with skeet having been pulled down by wylie while through on goal without even a card been produced. Rather than go in 6-7 points up we go in 2 points down. I have to say the ref was terrible.
I'd honestly rather ruari sludden started on sat than ronan oneill

[southtyronegael]

yeah sure wel stick ruairi sludden up front on his own and kick no ball into him and see how he gets on. harte might be a thick, bitter man but if he refuses to play ronan o neill and plays a lad that has been dropped into the panel then it can only spell more trouble

[redzone]

Bullshit. Mcaliskiy was up in the forwards as well how come he got on so much.

ok 2 up at times but still very little ball being kicked into them esp in second half when we were cleaned out round the middle

I am taken aback by the amount of people from Tyrone who want them beat on Saturday and as many who couldn't care less if they win or not. Is anyone else finding that?

How many Tyrone people told you that they wanted Tyrone beaten on Saturday?

Dunno maybe 8 or 9 and many more who said they couldn't care less

.

8 or 9. Lol you made it sound a lot more you twit.   And they all formed an orderly queue to tell you this did they ?

No they didn't form an orderly queue was just different conversations I had with people. Twit? is this an English sitcom?

I couldn't care less if Tyrone play the most dog awful tactics on Saturday with every single player behind the ball and we scrape through by 2 points to 1. I never ever want a Tyrone team to lose to anyone....especially those Meath hoors. But then again the likes of BigDog wouldn't hsve been around in the days when they kicked us up and down the park like little boys as we tried to play our lovely crowd/RTE friendly football.

yeahs its dublin who kick us up and down the park now. il go as far as saying that this is probably the least aggressive tyrone team i have seen going back to the mid 80s.

You mean 1985 as in mid 80s not 1984-1986 don't you.

Then you'll remember Dublin hammering us in Croke Park in 1984. It's not a new phenomenon. I wonder if Tyrone fans  of that era hoped Derry would beat us in the first round in 1985 or again after we squeezed past Antrim after a relay in 1987 and then got thumped by an Armagh avalanche of goals in Irvinestown. Remember we were All Ireland contenders in those years too and there we were getting dumped out by poor Armagh and Derry teams. We may not have played men behind the ball in those days but the football definitely wasn't pretty at times either. I wonder how many were hammering Big Art who had been in the job a long time at that point? Or maybe people just had a bit more realism and respect in those days?

[southtyronegael]

big Art didnt have the back door to fall back on, only for it mickey would have just one all ireland. and yes people had alot more respect for Art as he is a thoroughly decent, likeable man.

And dont forget that Con O Callaghan was lazy in his tracking back etc etc etc ...

We were beaten by a team who were beaten by Fermanagh. Just let that sink in before you continue to make stupid excuses

Only one All Ireland is not to be sniffed at when you have never won one. We were All Ireland runners up when Iggy Gallagher rescued us v Antrim and Armagh slammed 5 goals past us the next day out. I'd imagine your angry contemporary equivalents at the time without the access to social media giving off stink and wanting big Art out in the local pub or where ever, regardless of how decent he was. Or maybe it was the supporters who were a little bit more decent and likeable back then?

If your talking about Meath 96, I was there on the hill. Even though they were subject to a lot of dirt  from the opposition the Tyrone boys battled hard on the day. Dinky McBride, Dooher and wee Peter showed plenty of bravery unlike last August when the Tyrone players did not even compete!

It's a reflection on how divisive a person Harte it. Art was hugely respected by players and supporters. Harte isn't which has turned a lot of people off the whole thing.
