McKenna Cup 2024

What is McCann at?

I actually tried to defend him with the Monaghan incident but he's done it again on Saturday night and nots the only time since Monaghan game. If I was him I'd be trying to stay on my feet even if big Sucky Bell was boxing the head of me!

And on another note - whats Mickeys policies on sunbeds? McCann is surely frequenting them a bit too much too! 

The problem for McCann is that he received absolutely no criticism from within his own county re hairgate. In fact he became almost hero worshipped for his actions - facebook and twitter support groups were set up and so hence he will continue his diving antics as he knows not only is it accepted within his own county, it seems to be lauded.

Complete nonsense. but I understand this is a trying time for you.

I have posted this before and I still await anyone who can post me a link to a tyrone person condemning McCann's dive. There was plenty of condemnation from elsewhere but tyrone people circled the wagons and stuck up for their man.

Just because you keep posting it doesn't mean its not complete bullsh1t.
I condemned McCann on here at the time, as did the vast majority of Tyrone posters.
Tyrone people may have defended him against the ridiculous 8 week ban that was thrown at him, but I cant recall a single person condoning the dive itself.

Lenny - think you are 100% in the wrong here. Any right minded Tyrone GAA person condemned McCann for his actions and if my memory serves me right Philly Jordan did so the following Thursday in the IN. If you go back to the thread at that time he got plenty of abuse from his own people. However, the Tyrone people did not like the media witch hunt that singled him out but not a word about any of the Monaghan antics - Beggan diving after running 50 yards to get into a melee, Kieran Hughes made a meal out of Meylers challenge and he got a black card as a result. That was the issue plus the farcical 8 week ban - McCann was certainly got plenty of stick from within his own county

2 mins searching on this board brought up the following comments from Tyrone posters. (Search for the thread if you want more)

Dive was terrible and def soured a good performance

Great performance from Tyrone overall. Disappointed in McCann and I'm sure TSG will rightly focus on it tomorrow night.

(From me as well!! 

for the record I have no time for the actions of McCann

( apart from mccanns dive, something he should Def get a ban for, can't stand that shite)

McCanns dive was a disgrace and he should be very ashamed of himself.

Poor from McCann the way he went down,

So as I said earlier, nonsense, just like most of your posts to be honest.

I think I'm more annoyed about his tan - not sure whether its jealousy or I'm worried for his health, he must be on them constant or else the weather in Killyclogher has got a lot better since the last time I was there! 

[WBF]

Or it could be the fact he's not long home from a holiday in Australia ?

Apparently he's been in Australia the last few weeks which explains the tan. . .

I see the Tyrone supporters group on Facebook took great pleasure in "Damian Barton on his arse... Same place Pascal Canavan put him 20 years ago" (He didn't actually but why let the truth get in the way of a cheap laugh!). . . I think Barton was down there on purpose probably the safest place for him with Fergus about!!

It'll be jealousy then - Great tan!

Cheap shot. Sure the man has enough demons without a troll like yourself compounding them.

Funny to read tyrone people on here now saying they condemned mccann at the time. To be honest I didn't read any of that condemnation and noone has reposted their comments from the time. What I was talking about was public condemnation from explayers and prominent gaa figures from tyrone. I read and heard plenty of them condemn the stick that mccann was getting but none of them came out and said what mccann did was completely in the wrong. I was watching out for that because it is that sort of public condemnation which influences people not to copy or repeat repugnant behaviour.

That's a backtrack.

The lovely queen of c&w Tammy would also have a degree of familiarity with Tyrone, having grown up in Whitetrash, Mississippi.

On McCann, I never thought I would say this, but I am beginning to miss the pint sized runt, Penrose.

I hope you Derry ones are lining up to condemn your managers embarrassing antics on Saturday night! I'd suggest getting your own glass house in order before throwing stones.

I have no problem saying barton was totally out of order. Still waiting for you to say mccann was totally out of order.

Wasn't at it but just heard bits and pieces. On the schemozzle yeah it was a wreckless tackle a yellow card but nothing more, the dive was a bit much for me but McNamee deserved his second yellow as well regardless, McKinless is close to the Loughshore so your own nonsense may have rubbed off on him. Barton coming running over was a bit ridiculous but I wasn't sad to see McCarron getting sent off as he well deserved it.

In term of Barton running over it looked like a bit of fire and passion and if it instills it into our lads then fair enough.

All in all we should have closed the game out and we also shouldn't have disappeared in Extra time.  Wouldn't read a whole pile into it for Championship save to say it will be tighter than many around the Country think. Tyrone for their run last year aren't as good as made out and I'd still fancy Donegal and Monaghan against them in Ulster. We aren't as bad as shown last year and I think Barton and Scullion will lift the whole team. We won't win Ulster and we may not win thr first round but I think we'll give the Tymoanies a real rattle!

I don't see why he should be condemned he ran over and didn't actually do anything like I said it was ridiculous and there was really no need but I'm not sure why it should be condemned. McCann elbowed a guy causing him to have surgery and 14 stitches. . . they are hardly the same thing!!!
