Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Mattie needs someone coming off the shoulder – he was quite isolated at times yesterday. Once there isn't an opportunity to shoot or quick lay off, he has no option but to solo and drift sideways

[tiempo]

Looking ahead to quarter finals we need to be far more direct and start going for 2pointers. My biggest frustration with management is our slow build up.

Any ideas why this may be?

Also thought Mattie Donnelly had a poor game against mayo by his standards. Got disposed a right few times dropped a few balls and overall thought he slowed the game down too much but this may have been a gameplan but not sure

Think the new rules has sped Matty up, for a few years there he was chronic slow on the ball

[Grace Murphy]

McElholm will get the chop the QFs muckers.

Might be a good thing come off the bench and be lively

[DaleCooper]

Yeah I think his pace coming off the bench could be massive when defenders are tiring.

McCurry will be watched closer given form he has found

[DaleCooper]

I know Andy Moran is passionate but this is a bit much

All seemed a bit crowded around the arc with Mattie in alone in front of goals. Jordan and McElholm a bit far from Mattie with Jordan hanging around the arc mainly.

Cassidy cut them open at will thanfully and McCurry used his football brain to work openings and his shooting was on it as normal.

Good win yesterday but I wouldn't be getting too carried away. If you remember the impact we got off the bench in 2021 I can't see anything close to that happening this year. Only chance of it would be getting Canavan fit and you might have two good forward options to bring on (McElholm, Jordan, McCurry, Canavan) - aside from that it's limited enough

Hopefully this quarter final draw can fall kindly for us and get a few more bodies back - I just don't think we have the bench or 2 point ability to go the whole way

Having said that, it's nice to even be talking about it after that league campaign

I like the look of Bogue and hopefully gets a run next year in the league along with Conor ONeill. The x2 Canavans, Oguz, Ben McDonnell are all a miss of the bench for impact

[GaaGPT]

Dont think Bogue is offering anything that we dont already have - what happened Burns? injured or just took off again?

That was a strange one. Burns came on as the blood sub for McGeary and then 10 minutes later Michael Rafferty came on for Burns. Didn't look like an injury to Burns anyway. He looked a bit surprised to be taken off.

Bar a fully fit darragh do we have anyone else who we are waiting to come back?

Commentators seemed to indicate he was brought on as a temporary blood sub so I guess after a period of time they had to make a permanent change. Not sure if they could make a blood sub as a permanent change or not

so despite all the ups and downs, Tyrone find themselves in the last8, good draw and there's a semifinal place very much in the offering
Are Tyrone capable of much more, hard to see but you never know

I have to say I didn't think it possible to get beyond the last 8 with the players we have/have not at our disposal but its a season where no-team is setting a trail blaze

Yeah its a funny season. One of the favourites will be gone by Saturday evening and as you say noone is setting the championship on fire at the minute.

Or it could be a case of an exciting season overall with good football,shocks aplenty,  not knowing who could win it and by the end of July Kerry are All Ireland champions again. . .

[DaleCooper]

Geezer please do us a solid. Tyrone V Armagh quarter final would be superb, esp with that extra bit of rest
