Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[An Watcher]

He must have contributed to a melee

[CK_Redhand]

Derry have copied our tactic of diving into a tackler's arms to win a free for a "high challenge". Ref missed lots of technical fouls for off the ground and throw balls. Terrible for both sides but I think Derry got more soft ones

[ONeill]

Conditions seemed to really stiffen into the Tyrone scoring goals as the 2nd half wore on. McCurry would have been handy at that time. It was good to see a bit of bite though. There were a few turnovers reminiscent of a couple of years ago.

Ref clearly has no love for tyrone lol

Are ye mad. Some questionable decisions..he must not have seen McShane dropping the knees into Rogers!!

He's awful.

As bad as I've seen. What is it with tiny refs?

Like Derry away and about to equalise  and he stopped it for that mini melee...then gave a hop ball...f me

Anybody impress this evening?

Some poor calls at key times there in the second half cost Tyrone the win, the chances were there to put Derry away. But even at this early stage there was a shape and bite that was missing a year ago. Promising too to see the likes of McShane in particular but also Kilpatrick and Meyler looking lively.

Not so good to see Hampsey get a red. Camera didn't follow it so perhaps he was hard done by, but Tyrone need to much better on discipline than last year.

All in all not bad though and at least one more competitive game before the league should be useful.

I mentioned in the other thread the cameras caught the start of the melee. Hampsey deserved red I said right away at the time. Need to cut that out, same shit every year.
BTW what's the story with McNamee?

The ref was poor in general and particularly sore on Tyrone. Derry have more work done in preseason, and their superior fitness came to the fore in the final quarter. They were full value for the draw.
We collapsed at the kick out in the last quarter. Despite having a considerable size advantage.
Kennedy, Richie, Mattie & Conn I would have expected to win more than their fair share of ball when Gallen was forced to go long. Derry are not the biggest in midfield especially w/out glass. But Tyrone looked really knackered.
The subs didn't have the desired effect either, in fact Mckernan & McGeary didn't lift us at all. Mcnabb and Canavan were starved of possession as a result of the middle third collapse, irrelevant subs.

More petulance and another red card too. That needs nipped in the bud ASAP.
Plenty for the management to improve on fitness wise & in terms of their own in game management
It feels like a defeat even though it wasn't - which is a good thing.
Most folk would say another game on Saturday is a positive, I dunno, they look like a group that would benefit more from some hard intensive collective training and focus ahead of Roscommon away, at the months end.

McCarron in defence. Great to see McShane look a bit like his old self too.

[tyrone08]

What's the story with McCurry is he injured?

Don't think hamspey deserved the ref. He square up but didn't see any digs. He needs to nip that attitude in the bud as he does get involved in too many needless incidents.

Commentator was saying that Gallagher was shouting at the ref and tyrone keeper for stopping the kick out to kick another ball away. The pratt mustn't have realised a Derry fan threw the ball on the pitch to stop the tyrone kickout. He really is an over the top moron when he's on the side line.

McCurry is in Thailand on holiday.

I like Gallagher. We criticise players and management for being sterile, motionless, giving clichéd interviews
You can't have it both ways, at least he shows passion and let's himself go. Even in a mckenna Cup game. Fair play to him I say, although I do think it will end with egg on his face someday, and thatll be good crack too. He's a character for sure and we need more of them

Going by social media, he is on his holidays

Thanks.

There is being a character then there is roaring and shouting at every single decision which goes against you. That style of management has a short term effect which would why this is his 3rd team in about 8 years

Cathal McShane brilliant last night. Super movement throughout and took some quality scores, especially the team score in 2nd half. Poor free to miss near end but conditions obviously played a part. I really hope he can keep this up as he is a real force and makes over teams worry more about the full back line so he preoccupies players before a ball is even thrown in

Cathal great when working on instinct. Quick ball and turn and shoot. Did well considering the weather. Can they get him mccurry canavan working together?
