Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Stan]

Any confirmed panel/ team news for Sunday?

What are the predictions?

A draw at 9/1 worth £5 of the queen's finest.

I've seen nothing of Galway this year and the conditions of the pitch and on the day will have a big influence obviously - would hope for a win, but a draw sounds plausible.

Without any mention of the queen obviously

Anyone at the u20 game, cheers

Wasn't at it but listened on Armagh TV. The conditions appeared to be a significant leveller with Tyrone pulling away in extra time. The red card before half time was another sucker punch. According to commentator it may have been for verbals to a linesman.

Antrim next which should be straight forward, was at the game with them last month and we were much superior even through we were missing a lot of big men.

Sounds like Tiarnan Quinn dragged them out of a hole.

Potentially a bigger talent than Canavan?

Will probably need a couple of years to get up to the physicality of senior county football anyway.

Very few lads get thrown in at 19/20 for the big counties anymore, I think it's generally about 22 or 23 when most players are properly ready in the physical sense for intercounty football anymore.

Was at it. Extremely interesting referring performance. Didn't give a free until he was absolutely sure it was. Allowed scrums to go on for ages without any decision. Thought it was interesting in the aftermath of Clifford. He seemed more into verbals.

On the field, the Coalisland lad really stood out. They played Liam Gray at FF and it never came off. Canavan came on for him at HT and won most balls that came his way.

It was fairly clear that Tyrone would win if it went to extra time. They were the better side with only 14 in the second half. Nothing to shout about though. Plenty of half backs and wannabe half backs.

Tyrone's goal was a fluke though. Was hit long into Canavan but flew over keeper.

I was at it. Never been as angry when they threw it away in normal time. Another 20 mins freezing my nuts off.

My own take. Sending off was after 4 mins not just before the half. Very scrappy 1st half thought murnaghan was stand out. 2nd hakf canavan straight away made difference as had 2 boys hanging off him therefore levelling the numbers. So exciting when he gets the ball. Quinn was very good in 2nd half and extra time.

Fox was also very good throughout. We looked dominant when back to 15 v 15 in Et and tough conditions

Is tiarnan Quinn the lad that that came on for coalisland in county final 2 years ago and kicked 2 outstanding points?

That's him, fantastic left peg on him.

Proportionately Tyrone seem to produce a huge amount of left footed forwards. In the senior ranks we have had the likes of McCurry, Bradley, Brennan, Coney and Harte in recent years.

good prospect then. Can't beat a left footer, easily worth 3 or 4 right footers

Eh? Sending off was literally a couple of mins before half time.

I'd agree with Oneill - very strange refereeing. I'm sure for both teams. Tyrone were poor up front until canavan gave them purpose. Just got over the line. But need a better forward plan. Thought the half backs were superb.

[Stan]

Didn't get to see or hear any of it but wasn't expecting that result at all - What was the story with Cathal McShane - I hope the lad is ok?
Were we as bad or they as good as the result suggests?

Tyrone were awful today. Couldn't string passes together. Frank burns looked determined to get sent off today. Said t at the start of the year this will be a very short season for tyrone

[tyroneman]

Terrible showing. Too many men just not doing the basics well enough.

Any word on McShane - saw on twitter that his replacement was Bradley? Sounds like we didn't have a plan A never mind Plan B?
