Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[NotedObserver]

Hard one to judge with the early red card but seemed we were happy just to keep the score down in the 2nd half. Even with 14 Galway were there for the taking but we never looked like winning it.

Surprised to see O'Donnell coming on. Must be impressing

Ahead of McGeary as well and first one in. McGeary only come on as a 2 minute blood sub. Interesting the 4 subs that came on were all from the u20 team last year.

Surely that ends Frank burns career in the red and white

Harsh. He was one of our best players in the league. A couple of bad games (ok he probably cost us the chance to win today) and he should be banished?

Yes and O'Donnell on where sludden mcgeary are the obvious options. Won a handy free as well. Would like to see canavan and Mcglennon on earlier. Niall Devlin gas top ability and hope he kicks on

4 championship losses in a row.

Tyrone are much better than their recent results. Still think they will improve when they reach the quarter finals and have excellent forwards.

[An Watcher]

Looking at the incident on the Sunday Game it just looks like a badly timed challenge.  A guy of his experience should know better but we need to cut him some slack at the same time.  Think we can have sone complaints about gough as well.  Clothes line from galway player n then Morgan gets black carded!!

Excellent forwards??? Who do we have apart from darragh and Darren

In the ast 2 games we have had 0 return from our half forward line.

Contrast that to any other top 4 team....

Can he kick a score?

Very heartening performance I thought.

Although they came up short; Galway should be the ones looking at themselves - yes the got the result and that's all that matters but they scraped over the line.

Tyrone showed a lot of fight with 14 men for 2/3rd or more of the game.

I do think some of the subs could be blooded in better or even better, start, but we don't see what goes on in training.

We need to switch it up a wee bit for Armagh try something else

[Under Lights]

Half forwards a big problem.

The truth is somewhere between "banishing" him and "cutting him some slack". It's more than badly timed, it's a ridiculous challenge which pretty much ended our hopes yesterday and undermined what went on to be a very good team effort in tough circumstances. I would hope the management make clear to Frank Burns that what he did was totally unacceptable and cannot be repeated. I'd have a word in the ear of Kennedy too, another who is a good player but prone to daft challenges. As a team there are lessons to be learned here.

There was a lot to admire about Tyrone yesterday. The situation at 0-7 to 0-3 against a good team and a man down looked dire yet they ended up within a score at the end. But the discipline must improve or we'll do nothing. Too easy to blame Gough as well. Yes he made a string of increasingly erratic calls but the players have to be much smarter.

Thought they played well yesterday - it was a big effort with 13/14 men
Could have been much tighter but for a few dubious decisions from Gough - they could have had frees and then Galway  broke and got free at the other end, which brought Galway a couple of points clear

[Fuzzman]

Looks to me the management want to bring in a good few of the U20 lads from last year's winning team.
I suppose they see more hunger or hard work from the younger lads.
McKenna gone, huge drop off in performance from McGeary, Sludden, McShane, ONeill and I suppose you'd say Burns too.
Harte and Mattie played quite well yesterday but it looks like we don't really play half forwards any more and Mattie spends most of the time in defence as does ONeill.
I keep asking myself are they trying to not show their hand or try out new players.
At least yesterday we showed a bit of bite, work rate and didn't concede any goals.
Canavan didn't score from play and didn't look as lively as he did v Monaghan.
Oguz found it tough going against McDaid but hopefully it's a bit more open at home to Armagh who will feel they could even top the group now having Galway in a neutral venue.

Benny gallen has been given the boot from the Tyrone panel after playing 60 mins in midfield vs Derrylaughan on Friday.
