Fair enough, I just haven't seen anything that would indicate they'd be capable of beating Kerry, Mayo, or Dublin,

So partition has worked and created an 'us' and 'them' in your view. That amazes me coming from a GAA poster.

Saw the transcript of it. Every criticism reverts back to the Dublin game, every game prior to that is ignored.

Tyrone just have not got the forwards at the minute McCurry, O'Neill, McAliskey etc are all good forwards but maybe not top level. Midfield is a bit the same cleaned out last night against a good Donegal team. Avoiding relegation is a big ask at the moment. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 18/02/2018 12:35:47 2077880 Link 0 |
Tyrone do have two of the best young forwards in the game in Lee Brennan and David Mulgrew but they might need a few years at senior level to become those top class forwards. I don't think there is much wrong with the way Tyrone are playing, they just aren't converting a high enough percentage of the chances they are creating. If Brennan and Mulgrew can develop into top class forwards in the next few years then Tyrone could ve in business.

I thought the exact same reading his comments at the start of this thread. Coaches like Harte who are used to winning trophies and being champions get cranky when it doesn't happen as easily as it didn't in the past. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 18/02/2018 14:09:58 2077897 Link 0 |
I think that if Stephen O Neill can pass some of his talents on to the midfield and the forwards and he's allowed to express his ideas then Tyrone won't be far away in July at the super 8s. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 18/02/2018 21:39:29 2078120 Link 0 |
What do you base that on? Solely on the fact he was a good player? Just because he was a good player it doesn't mean his ideas will mean anything.

I saw the quotes and if i read correctly he has no intention of changing his style and as the media ramps up about this discussion the more likely mickey will be more stubborn about it. He compares his tactics with the rest of the teams - has he actually watched the Dubs, Kerry, Mayo???? Especially the former where at first hand he watched his brand of defensive football get totally ripped apart in front of his own eyes.

The GAA and Southern media appear to have forgotten that Down is in Ulster / NI as they never seemed to give them much of a hard time.

I'm not sure if any more than two players from todays panel would feature on the best decade we ever had team. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 19/02/2018 11:40:07 2078283 Link 0 |
Have you ever watched the four teams play football? It's all a very similar style.

Yes I have and the difference is Mickey plays the smallest player upfront on his own and expects him to win every ball played into him - the others play with more than 1 and they are big men who can handle themselves. Was at the Dub v Tyrone and kerry v Mayo replay last year and Tyrone's style was by far the least effective!!!!

I always like to see northern teams do well, but Tyrone for years have displayed an unpleasant degree of cynicism Feigning injury was something new in football, but from getting Marsden sent off to lying down when your hair is ruffled , Tyrone really specialize in this befair (Down) - Posts: 237 - 24/02/2018 13:51:57 2079682 Link 2 |
No harm to you - you're judging Tyrone by something that happened a long time ago to your county and some Down people don't seem to get over it. The problem with this team is their style and if anything they lack cynicism - the game against the Dubs last year needed someone to upset the blues - a cynical tackle or brawl - but don't think they have it in them. So don't take this unrelated biased view of Tyrone to start this broad brush labelling of this current set up - it's lazy commentary!
