Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[tyrone08]

Some hysteria about MOR. Would Tyrone not benefit from a while developing in Div 2 particularly given that the size profile of their team isn't particularly suited to the new rules? Some also seem to forget they reached the AISF last year under Malachy.

Do some of those levelling criticism expect Kerry standards and success levels, because the supporter base is behaving as if they are guaranteed success. For players it must be soul-destroying playing home games in front of half empty stands. At least Kerry get strong support to their home games. Ask not what your county can do for you!!!!

Not buying it. Team performances drives attendance, since 2021 we have had a handful of good performances at best. Why expect families to pay to watch poor performances. Much has been made of reaching the semi final last year which was largely down to luck. At no point did any tyrone fan actually expect to win against Kerry, th score line flattered us that day

MOR is the problem

Managing Derrytresk, this will be his third year. Hasn't played for Ardboe since the Errigal hammering in 2023.

That goes to the root of the problem... we don't have the players to compete with likes of Kerry, Donegal, Armagh. Kyle Coney like ffs!
The Tyrone-Meath and Dublin-Armagh games was like watching a junior game followed by senior... the physicality, intensity... Was a whole other level. Whatever bout these underage successes, what players are coming through? Very few and boys at the other end getting past their best..

Kyle well fit to play the quarterback role and nail his fair share of 2 pointers from downtown

[Aaron Boone]

Kyle Coney could be the spark, that missing jigsaw piece.

[Truthsayer]

Get Brian McGuigan back while you're at it!

Some absolute clowns on this page.
The hypocrisy around Malachy O'Rourke is embarrassing. You built him up when it suited you, pushed for him to take over, and now you're acting like he's the problem. It just shows that some people will never be happy unless they've something to complain about. Real supporters back their team and management through it all  they don't jump ship the second things get tough. All this talk says more about the people saying it than it ever will about him or the squad. Tyrone have the players, the mindset, and now the management to compete at the highest level. Malachy O'Rourke has proven he knows how to build serious teams, and that doesn't change overnight just because of a few results. There's a process to this, and if people show a bit of patience, they'll see a team that's growing stronger, more organised, and more dangerous. The Sam Maguire Cup is the goal, and there's no doubt they're building towards it the right way.

Malachy take the night off would you. Tyrone bang in the middle of division 2, multiple players taking holidays during the season, players stepping away, conceding goals every game, far worse off than this time last year.

Where do you see a team "more organised" when we allowed meath to kick two pointers at will.

Bad tactics (unsuited to available players) bad strength and conditioning, needed for new rules ( partly due to youth but bad resources man in NZ etc.) Bad coaching (Porter et al not up to it?)bad selection ( positional and Jordan,McKiernan)

It's impossible to argue against facts, this time last year we were

- incredibly unlucky to get relegated on the largest points total in div 1 history
- had Armagh on the ropes until we threw it away in last minute
- beat the all Ireland finalists in their own back yard
- beat Dublin in the AI QF

This year we are:

- genuinely on the brink of not even being in the all Ireland series.
- Only beat the two teams who are likely to be relegated to Div 3
- appear to have a very unhappy camp

I'm definitely not saying this in a 'get MOR out' way but the trend is incredibly worrying. We look to have no shape, I can't see any discernable game plan, we're giving away horrendous goals, not defending obvious threats (e.g. Meath no12 having the time of his life kicking 2 pointers for the craic) and I could go on.

I'll absolutely be in the athletic grounds convincing myself we've a chance, however, setting aside the emotional brain my logical thoughts are all doom and gloom.

For all the doom and gloom and admittedly it is fully warranted I actually think we can sneak a win in the AG.

Surely we can fire on all cylinders for one game each year and let's hope it is that one. Armagh are in much better shape and physically much better than us but I just have a sneaky feeling we can snatch a victory assuming all our keys players perform on the day
