Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[cjx]

Necessary win against a poor team but lots of room to improve. Most obvious butchered 3rd goal chance was wierd! Wonder why no start for Jordan? Good McEholm showed a bit give him confidence for future. Burns seems past it slow to sub him. Kennedy much better. Seanie O'Donell workrate massive and lively. Morgan took a while to get his head out but much better as it went on. Still think could get more out of McKiernan at wing back and Teague on from start.

Jerome and cjx, (and maybe 1 or 2 others), your boys took one hell of a beating

[Hand of God]

Fairly patching display. Thought our physicality look very under the standard required again early doors but grew in as game went on.

Kilpatrick had a big game I thought in that second half and that's the type of consistency we need from him. Definitely his best performance in a Tyrone jersey for over a year.

Donnelly with a lot of powerful running but I have to say again that I just don't see it with Ciaran Daly. He just doesn't offer anything and I have to question how he starts again and again. He butchered at least 2 goals chances out there today. Games tend to pass him by, he doesn't get enough scores.

O'Donnell with a big game, Canavan and McElholm were lively. We'll need results to go our way elsewhere to to up but still with a chance.

Is Canavan away now for remainder of league?

Any word on the status of Hampsey, McCurry, R Canavan and Devlin?

Thought Kennedy had a big influence from 20 minutes onwards.

Canavan's trip probably means promotion is gone but it's a good chance for others to raise their hand for the Championship.

Tyrone will need to win all 4 games against Louth, Meath, cork and Offaly to win promotion. But even without canavan there's no excuse why Tyrone shouldn't beat those teams.

Much better performance from Tyrone, Seanie O'Donnell added great energy to the team he would have been my MOTM. Morgan in really poor kicking form, direct cause of vital scores in the first half.
No reason why can't go on and win all remaining games.

[NotedObserver]

Some v good performances and much more hungry around the breaking ball. Cormac Quinn v sharp at the moment. Burns added a bit of strength down the centre. Teague will likely come in v Louth? A win against Louth will be key before heading into games without D Canavan. A lot of things to improve but some good moments in the game. 

Morgan form is not at it the moment, costly mistakes in every game so far.

Any news of Tyrone underage panels for the upcoming year?

[Scoring Zone]

Much needed win, but struggled with a physical Div3 team for 40mins - Don't  think they are going anywhere fast atm with the amount of knocks a niggles we are picking up (surprised MOR let players play Sigerson, it has resulted in knocks they didn't need) But one big scalp can turn a season, but they are a mile off the top 4-5 teams.

Cork and Meath will be the acid test and with Meath size and athleticism i'm not hopeful

Wtf! All Ireland semi-final 2025:
Donegal 3-26 Meath 0-15   A 20 point defeat. Also lost Leinster final to a very middling Louth team. Some analysis that. Meath are a very poor outfit.

With McElholm now settling in well against Cavan and a good win [even if they should have got 6 goals] surely another step up against Louth [G Devlin or not]. Hope Jordan and Conor O'Neill get a full game and Morgan does no short kickouts til at least 50 mins gone! Is N Devlin fit yet?

Yes think Mcelholm inside line maybe the place for him for now and Conor Oneill looks totally at home at county level so far. Will Oneill come in for Cassidy? Cassidy doing well and hopefully he can make another step up and now adding a few more scores.

Will Daly continue at midfield?

[ClubScene13]

Teamtalkmag debating on their podcast if Sunday v Cavan is the worst attended Tyrone game since the 1990's, think it was around 2,000 at the game roughly

Probably right enough, but also hard to blame people. Live on TV versus Omagh in the winter is a no brainer for a lot of people. I'd imagine the game in Dungannon next week will get a better turn out for the novelty factor alone

I hope it doesn't rain. how many would the stand in Dungannon hold ?
