[Look-Up!]

Great result tonight. I know you can question what kind of team Tyrone put out there but it's preseason and we're preparing for a very important league campaign and that should have guaranteed us another game.

Though Oisin Brady done well again.  Patrick Lynch with some really good scores off either foot. He's capable of being a very good County forward but  was given a lot of space tonight.

Cavan look in good shape.  In previous Mckenna cup campaigns a few looked noticeably out of shape

[full moon]

Great stuff tonight, yes Tyrone had holidays and a weakened team but McGeary, McCurry, Harte, Hampsey, Meyler etc still all played.

We turned up prepared and ready for battle, which we failed to do last year in the league especially. Now let's push on and get back up the divisions and give Ulster a rattle.

Our weakness is still the full forward line. We need to start putting away goals, we just find it very difficult and are lacking that quality inside like the top teams. I did think Caoimhin O'Reilly looked sharp there when he came on and is capable of doing a good job in there if he gets a run.

Lynch had a good point ruled wide by the umpire. Tyrone also had a few soft frees for 2 of their points.

There was some good scores by the forwards but as you said there was a lot of space and plenty missed opportunities to work on.

You're right, most of All Ireland winning team so there's no excuses.

4 started from the all ireland final, you must have a different definition of the word 'most'.

LOL even if the whole AI winning team started they were less than 48hours home from a 2 week piss up with no training completed. People reading far too much into that game.

[Westside]

Nobody is reading anything into the game. Everyone is well aware of the circumstances surrounding the result.

[Itchy]

Have we any players involved in the Sigerson

Few line ups I checked. Darragh Kennedy played for UCD earlier. Donal Keappock (Drumgoon Éire Óg) came on for Carlow IT.

Few more here:

Also
Sligo IT:  L Molloy (Cavan Gaels) M McGahern (Mullahoran)

Think Thomas Galligan is playing for Ulster University tonight but can't get a line up.

Ah Ref on Twitter has all the Sigerson Panels. Caoimhin O Reilly was with DCU for the Ryan Cup, but on Cavan panel yesterday.

Shane Hanley was on the Maynooth panel against DCU.

Going to be interesting watching out for the McKenna Cup games tomorrow. Any Tyrone win will likely see us top the group and into the semis, unless they somehow overturn a 26 point differential to us. Who knows how they'll play though, if they're still on holiday mode, or if they're annoyed by that result on Tuesday night. They should be up for Armagh anyway. Anyway, it would be great for the lads to get another game before the league to really see where we are.

Looks like Monaghan are already through, the winner of Donegal and Antrim will go through as group winner there, and likely Derry if they beat Fermanagh. So it'll be a tough semi if things do swing our way with Tyrone beating Armagh, so bring it on. A good tough game is what's wanted before we visit Leitrim.

Two chances of Cavan qualifying slim and none.Tyrone couldnt give a toss about the MCK cup unlike previous regime.

They might give a toss about losing to Armagh in their own patch as returning All Ireland Champions though?
