Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[tyrone08]

Watching back the 2025 game against kerry. Tyrone werent too far away. We had 2 goal chances inside 20 mins and missed a heap of points over the game.

Issue is I don't think tyrone have improved too much since then. Still no direct approach or gameplan to work 2point scores.

My main gripe with management has been lack of playing style to suit our quick forwards. Scoring goals and 2 pointers has been an ongoing problem. We need to do both of these to win.

Heart saying we can do it, head saying we wont as we are stale this last few years.

Where did you watch it back?

[DaleCooper]

Youtube has full game just search for it. On another day kerry have 6 goals. Ironically I would feel more confident with last years team Vs this Kerry.

Gavin White and O Shea were huge for them.

 Need same mindset as Dubs against Donegal, they went direct fast and had a lot of joy. I dont mind being beaten so long as they do themselves justice

Donegal have shown twice if you throw a slap or two at them and get physical they lie down. Tyrone need to follow this mantra and also learn from Armagh's mistakes and go at them. Jordan's two point potential could be crucial for Tyrone. Fitness of Canavan also a big factor, even for squad depth. Teague on David Clifford, Devlin on Paudie Clifford, McKernan for O'Shea when he features, not sure what the plan for Joe O'Connor would be.

Don't really see any evidence of that to be honest. Kerry are well able to mix it and stand up for themselves.

With David Clifford I would go the opposite direction. Do not engage him in a physical contest. He thrives off the physicality and often initiates it regardless of what the media and Kerry fans say. Some players play even better when the are fired up, deprive him of that.

Focus on winning the ball in front of him, frustrate him by staying with him. Anytime he tries to engage in a brawl walk away. He will be out to get a few men booked. I would guarantee this would annoy him more that trying to bully him. When he gets frustrated, he is prone to a rash challenge or two which will work in our favour.

Paudie and a few of the other lads I would get physical with not because they cant handle it more so because they will lash out more obviously than David.

The worst thing Teague (if on him) can do is engage in anything physical before the throw in and be prepared for Clifford to throw a shoulder as he shakes his hand. As you say ignoring will rile him up more than biting back at him.

[DaleCooper]

Kerry keeper not as experienced. Big unknown in the Croker Cauldron.

Jordan for us likewise, he will either deliver or wilt. Cant assume McCurry can repeat his Mayo display, would hold him on bench til half time.

Morgan is going to need a near perfect game and hopefully he is told not to roam. Totally mad with new rules *unless his job is to have a go OR kick accurate foot passes* but hes only doing role anyone can do.

Kerry are bigger team, the battle needs to be relentless psychologically.

[tyrone08]

If we do get over kerry this would be a real turning point for the team much like 2003. Would be great to see.

[DaleCooper]

Kerry team out. White and OShea start on bench as is Michael Burns interestingly.

[RedHand88]

[DaleCooper]

Tyrone winning would save the championship end phase.

Hope the guys absolutely try everything, if for no other reason to set an example for the younglings.

Whens team.named?

[tyrone08]

Is there something going on with the canavans, irish news now saying Darragh unlikely to play against kerry. Darragh last game was against Armagh in April when he played about 25 min or so of football. Ruairi has played very little and was already ruled out for rest of the year
