Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Goals_Will_Come]

Team v Fermanagh
Oisin O'Kane, Aidan Clarke, Niall Devlin, Cormac Quinn, Ben Cullen, Frank Burns, Ronan Cassidy, Joe Oguz, Ruairi McHugh, Oisin Gormley, Ruairi Canavan, Matthew Og McGleenan, Ciaran Bogue, Lorcan McGarrity, Ethan Jordan
Subs Conn Kilpatrick, Michael McKernan, Jack Gibney, Joey Clarke, Callum Daly, Conor O'Neill, Shane Hughes

Interesting.

Good representation for the Eglish club with Gibney, McGleenan & Ethan Jordan involved.
Very much an experimental line up. Just 2 lads from the 15 that started the All Ireland Semi final last summer.

Surprised to see Frank Burns still involved this year. How many minutes football did he get last year?

Probably chasing fitness following surgery the previous year which curtailed his minutes. A fully fit Frank Burns is another good option in the half back line, good ball carrier.

Possibly but he was making match day benches for most of all last year without getting many minutes so surprised to see him back again but maybe it was injury related.

Obviously down a lot of players there but interesting Ronan Cassidy at wing back, would never picture him as an option there.

Any confirmation yet on availability of Hampsey, Harte, Donnelly, Brennan for next year at this point?

Nice to see some fresh faces there in any case.

Is there ever any interest from clubs or the CCC in reimplementing the u20/u21 age group at club level.

Would it not be good for a preseason competition for younger lads before the league starts ?

[Jerome]

Looking to buy a season ticket for a gift but will it be linked to my own account?

[Hand of God]

All very quiet on squad makeup for coming year so it will be interesting to see the panel for this Friday.

I'd like to see an XV like this

1. O'Kane
2. Rafferty
3. A Clarke
4. Devlin
5. D Jones
6. Burns
7. Cullen
8. McHugh
9. Oguz
10. C Donaghy
11. McElholm
12. O Gormley
13. Conroy
14. McGarrity
15. R Canavan

See if many of them can put their hands up for league to come.

Anyone know how the team lined up in the challenge games against Dublin and Monaghan?

Former Tyrone football star Conor Meyler has highlighted "white middle class male privilege" in the GAA, contrasting that with the ongoing struggles for females in Gaelic games.

A terrible attempt at virtue signalling... a load of absolute bollox. Not for the first time from him

[tyroneStatto]

Disappointing from Meyler, it's a male v female issue and with the GAA merger that issue is obviously improving but it's absolutely nothing to do with skin colour or class.

[tiempo]

Its not a male v female thing its contrived ballix

The ladies have their own governing body but some would frame men as an issue, why, because they aren't getting their own way, utterly childish

Frankly it falls well within the realms of gaslighting and the Irish News should have a serious word in house about platforming that sort of low IQ drivel

[skeog]

Has he ever had a real job i would say Conor needs a day on a building site with a few lower class white male labourers that would be good for him.Not much gender equality there.

[Grace Murphy]

He's calling himself middle class here? Would he be? What is his family background. I don't even really get what he means!

[Hand of God]

I think it's just best ignored tbh.

Great player but seems very fond of his own voice and opinions. There's lots of things wrong with the GAA but I don't think social class is one of them. It's a amateur sport where people devote their spare time to do something they obviously enjoy or are motivated to do, like every other amateur club. Obviously the higher level you climb in that sport, the more supports that are in place for you.

I've played matches across GAA and association football in my life where you played on death trap pitches, had no changing or showering facilities, no travel expenses etc. Wasn't ideal but I enjoyed playing so you suck it up like all your teammates did as well.

[Truthsayer]

I don't get the 'white' bit either. I remember a 'supporter' gave the Wexford hurler Lee Chin racist abuse and by fuc he got called out for it big time. He did ring later and apologise.
I'd hope racism be called out anywhere in the GAA. There aren't that many non-whites playing but I don't know in any systematic way that they aren't welcome. Myler seems desperate to lead a campaign where there is none needed.

Yeah, seems to be keen for the limelight. Trying to create a PR role for himself maybe? What's the chances he'll be doing analysis on tv later on in the summer?

Create a story that's not there. Would the Irish News contact him or would he contact the Irish News?
