Tyrone 2008

[Puckoon]

I agree, Aiden is a direct running scoring threat. Where is this going to come from in this panel? Plenty of nice ball players, but no real scoring machine.

[orangeman]

But who do you put him in ahead of

[tyrone86]

You could make an argument for any of the lads that have been left out but when you're only going with 32 that's as strong a panel as is available at the moment. Aidan McCarron is possibly a bit hard done by but we're well stocked in the half forward line and I think that's why he lost out. I don't think the lack of a marquee forward will do us any damage in the short term - now there's no O'Neill to fall back on the entire forward unit will have to take more responsibility individually, and any passengers will be found out that bit quicker.

[ONeill]

Some players will be mightily disappointed but as some said, who do you leave out?

UUJ men Boggs and Donnelly were as good as any Tyrone player when they met.

Conall Martin, Kevin McNally and Fabian O'Neill will also think they've blown it.

One other disappointment will be how one person I know found out about it - through the media. Not good enough Mickey.

(on second thoughts - it's probably easier to phone those who made it and made sure the panel knew that beforehand)

[tyroneman]

Can someone please tell me what has Peter Donnelly EVER done in a senior county strip that warrants his inclusion in this years panel.

Time and time again he gets chances others would give thier right arm for, time and time again he fails to do ANYTHING useful.

Whether it be running through treacle, misplacing passess, watching the opposition amble by or kicking the ball backwards over his own head he has been 100% awful.

young lads like McCarron, Donnelly etc must be despairing..............

[orangeman]

I saw Donnelly in the semi final against Donaghmore and almost singlehandedly beat Donaghmore.

True!!  I will never forget the kick!

Well if Tyrone Seniors ever play Donaghmore I know who'lll be first on the teamsheet.

In the meantime however......................................

Id imagine this season is probably Donnelly's last chance with Tyrone, he has had plenty of opportunities and is still to convince and surely unless he makes real progress over the next few months he will drift out of the county setup. How old is Paul Marlow now? He seemed to be a real prospect a few years ago but hasnt kicked on (I know he has had bad luck with injuries) as expected.

[orangeman]

Marlowe was a huge prospect but injury seems to have blighted his career.

I heard that Enda Clarke from Greencastle was given a trail game with Tyrone a week or 2 ago?  Anyone confirm this?  Big man, good ball player, could be an option maybe.

First I've heard. I'll look into it.

[M.Schofield]

Enda Clarke did play in the match last wednesday night in Cookstown between the Tyrone trial. By all accounts he was fairly quiet until having to retire injured in the second half.
