Any update on Brian ?

Sight still blurry out of the injured eye and is improving slightly but it is a very, very slow process. Apparently the operation to repair the retina went as well as could be expected but the operation to fix the damage at the front of his eye cant happen until 6-8 weeks down the line after the retina has reattached.

What was your thoughts on the performance last friday night orangeman?

[orangeman]

Hopefully Brian will be ok and knowing Brian, nothing will deter him and will he'll be back soon -
The performance against Cookstown was just awful - they seemed to just want to play football - they don't know how to win matches any more - surely it's better to win ugly than lose nicely - i think we need to go back to the old days and the old methods - there's a saying that nice players win nothing - maybe this is where we're at now - changes are needed in personnel and atttitude -

is he able to work?

[orangeman]

Able to work ? You must be joking - sure he can't even see - how would he be able to work ? No chance - work will be a long way away unfortunately and he is really pissed off at not being able to do anything.

As orangeman says it will be quite a while before he is back at work. 8 weeks for the retina to reattach and then he will probably have to get further surgery after that to fix the problems with the lens and pupil so it could be quite a while before he will be back working. He is a joiner so it could be months.

sure he can't even see

I assumed his other eye was okay.  My mistake!

Given the rumours about issues with lack of funding during his time laid up with his previous injuries, I hope the county board and supporters club and even the GPA are doing what they can this time to ease the financial burden on McGuigan.

Hopefully he will continue to make progress and get back to his normal life of working and playing football ASAP.

Doing what they can. They run a night for him in Ardbo recently and he made enough money not to need to work for a coupkle of years yet !!

What you on about Amigo ? Are you anti Tyrone as well as anti Brian ? I hope you never suffer a seriuos eye injury or any injury for that matter - and I hope you are looked after as well -

[Fuzzman]

No real improvement orangeman unfortunately. Its going to be a very slow process. What did you make of the match yesterday?

[hoganstandman]

lads theres some serious questions to answer in the Tyrone thread.  Your club is in the dock.

[orangeman]

Our club is NOT in the dock - away and stir shite in your own club, wherever that is !
