HI Folks,
just to let you guys know that Connor Gormley broke his ankle yesterday ............. Unbelievable .............. There's hardly a Tyrone senior regular left standing at this stage - Weird luck indeed !

Aye, a few people have said that all right. A fella I know was talking to McGuigan last week and he's chomping at the bit to get back into the football asap.
I just hope they all make a full recovery though - Wouldn't want any aul niggling injuries that won't go away.
Not too sure about Dooher - He's going to find it very hard to get back considering his age and the length of time he'll be off, but you'd have to think that he'd have the right attude to be able to do it - I.e. He's a grafter !
Its horrible being out - Roll on next year !

Was Gormley the lad who dived on Stevie McDonnells boot to save Tyrone in the 2003 WBA Final?

Well now, Gormley did jump on Stevie's boot to save the day in the 2003 AI Final !
Gormley is built like a brick * house and is very very integral to any success we have had and are likely to have in the future - He can play anywhere but CHB is more or less his usual position now..... Very bad luck for him and his club Carrickmore - They were going for 3 Senior championships in a row, but you'd have to doubt them now with him out of the squad.

The injury toll in Tyrone is incredible alright..........
Is PTG still playing with his club and if he is how is he playing?

Aye PTG is still playing for his club Errigal Ciaran. Scored 2-7 in a championship game just before the AI championship started. At a recent Cormac McAnallen event Canavan was asked was he every tempted to return to the county given the injury problems Tyrone were having. A definte NO was the answer. He even said that it would have shown weakness on the part of the manager had he even asked the question.
Serious bad news about Gormley. He's as important to Tyrone at the back as McGuigan is up front. Aparently it's an awful break. Ankle break, dislocation and possible leg fracture. Hopefully the doctors will work a miracle and get him back. Gormley is one of those unique players who's a club man first then a county man.

As php says above he was playing very well - not sure about lately but I'll know better next week as his club are playing at the weekend (if I'm not mistaken) and I intend to be there - Might not get that many more chances to see him so I'll take it when I can.
Canavan's one wish now is to win an AI club - he got close before but they couldn't quite do it - To be honest I can't see it happening this year either...They will do well to even get out of Tyrone.

What stage are ye at up there Dermot?

Post by Dermot on Aug 8, 2006 16:34:42 GMT
Quarter Finals ! If I had to bet on any team winning it now I suppose it would be Errigal (Canavans Team) but thats only because Gormley is out - He's a serious miss to Carrickmore. I'll see the wee fecker on Sunday night at Edendork when Errigal take on Clonoe. Still, its not the same as County football

Tyrone have had more than their fair share of bad luck this past few years. Hard to fathom another quality player like Gormley, is now out with a nasty injury. Fair to say 2006 wasn't meant to be. Hope to see Tyrone back next year fresh and fully fit. Heard Mc Guigan was bitting at the bit. Just to get back to playing Football.
Noticed into days modern game, it is very hard for teams to do the two in a row. Such is the quality of some of the teams out their. Can't wait to see Tyrone back in full motion for they are a joy to watch.

Can't wait to see Tyrone back in full motion for they are a joy to watch. I wouldn't rank Ricey doing three seperate knee lunges in one season, or Peter Canavan doing a rugby tackle on Gooch as a joy to watch, but how and ever.

Post by tyroneperson on Aug 8, 2006 22:13:05 GMT
Gooch had a strong magnet on him that attracts follically challenged people named Peter at a huge force, explaining Canavan's actions. Duh. Anyway Cooper isnt without sin, didnt he kick away one of Duffy's boots on Saturday. I can only remember McMenamin doing the knee lunge once (not that it excuses it).

I wouldn't rank Ricey doing three seperate knee lunges in one season, or Peter Canavan doing a rugby tackle on Gooch as a joy to watch, but how and ever. Your obviously not a very fair minded person. I remember Kerry players, in two seperate incidents "lunging" at Tyrone players, in last years All-Ireland. Not too many Tyrone people crying a bout it either. Try not to get to exited a bout the Armagh win, and show a bit of humility. One thing I love a bout Kerry radio, is the two commentators always come off very well, and are very dignified when analyzing game. I wish more people nation wide could be like them. Kerry like the rest have their fair share of questionable incidents, so don't try and taint Tyrone with a bad name because it reflects poorly on your own judgment and is totally unjustifiable. Oh and by the way, when Ricey isn't training himself he puts his spare time into teaching the youth. A real solid Gael.

I'm not saying Kerry are angels, I'm saying that Tyrone aren't exactly a pleasure to watch. My own poor judgement? Do you want me to keep listing Tyrone maggotary? Ricey is a great player and does indeed teach the youth of Tyrone. Sure half the Kerry squad do that too. But it didn't stop Ricey biting Gooch in 2003 or Pascal McConnell having a go at Goochs eye in the All Ireland final. I could go on. This years first round match v Derry, or the first round league match against Dublin, or either of last years Ulster finals..... As to be told I'm not fairminded, child, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Just because Tyrone players have been involved in cynical actions doesnt mean they play bad football. How about this to get your blood boiling, an article in the belfast telegraph yesterday called Kerry the most cynical team in ireland (hmm just like billy morgan). I wouldnt agree, it's a stupid statementbut a lot of teams are involved in such carry-on. On Saturday there were a number of incidents on both sides, but that doesnt mean either team didnt play good football. When Kerry do anything relating to gamesmanship it doesnt really get mentioned like it would if Tyrone/Armagh players did it-yet oh no Canavan pulled back Cooper/rugby tackled Cooper/shot Cooper. It's not the worst thing that's happened on a football pitch for god's sake.
As for the incidents you list, the first ulster final last year was fine, in the second Ricey's was the only bad Tyrone incident, Derry this year were much worse than us I feel (yeah hughes hit someone a crappy punch, almost exactly like galvin did in the 1st half of last years final but that's never been mentioned anywhere because you know-Canavan pulled down Cooper). Dublin are as much to blame as Tyrone. I'm not sure about the eye incident really, but Ricey was a nob if he bit Cooper. I guess I'm not the most fair minded either but you started listing incidents when one poster says tyrone play great football, but i dont start listing things kerry done when people in the kerry/armagh topic are posting with a lot of enthusiasm. Im not gonna say Tyrone are a pleasure to watch as if they make me combust with excitement, but it's not anymore ridiculous than saying Kerry have saved gaelic football like in one of those other topics. It's more than a bit late, but it's summer meh and i've been having a long session (on the playstation 2, you cheeky monkeys).
I didnt think a topic about Conor Gormely breaking his ankle would turn into a topic defending bad things Tyrone done, but there you go. I just think there was no need to start bringing up the incidents when the guy said tyrone are a joy to watch.

Well stacks if yer taking it like that .............. Gooch kicking someones boot away and Donaghy screaming in Hearty's face isn't exactly a joy to watch either................ Once again we have .... Pot, Kettle, Black ! I have to say I'm surprised at you Stacks for the above post - Why start all that aul sh1te again............... What do you want... Apart from winning without contest every all ireland and for everyone else to admit to being sh1te and you lot being great - - - I actually saw a bit of humility for a while but now you have beat Armagh you are back to the same aul crap........................... I have to say I am genuinely surprised at you.

I was surprised aswell Abu! But I reckon either someone took over your login details, you were under the influence, ...or you had just woke from a bad dream where we didn't actually beat Armagh and you felt the need to lash out at someone! The lads are right. Kerry are not ALWAYS a pleasure to watch either - but we do play some great football when going well!! And the same can be said about Tyrone - not always pretty - but sometimes mermerising in attack. Why you felt the need to attack, I'm not sure. The lad was just saying its a joy to watch his own team in action! It wasn't even a Tyrone man who said it ......I think it was user "Balintoy" who I'm fairly sure isn't from Tyrone. Anyway - What the feck !

I was told I wasn't fair minded among other things. I don't like being told I'm not fair minded. If you'll read back, I congratulated Tyrone last September as the best team in Ireland, having beaten Kerry fair and square. However, there are times when they are not a nice team to watch. I've listed them. I've responed to somebody saying they are a joy to watch. At times, they aren't.
Kerry aren't either, I haven't said we are. We're not angels. Tyrone aren't either. I'm not debating any of that for a second. I simply replied to somebody saying Tyrone football was a joy to watch. At times, I don't believe they are. At times Kerry aren't a joy to watch either.
Capichi?

He said 'Can't wait to see Tyrone back in full motion for they are a joy to watch.' - I don't think he meant they are ALWAYS a joy, every minute, no exceptions etc. I'm sure if you ask nicely ballintoy would go back and edit it to say "for they are a OFTEN a joy to watch"!! And I'm getting a serious sense of deja-vu. I wonder have we discussed this before sometime?!! ;D ;D Only about 250 times................ Sorry....251 !

What exactly are you implying here.................. If its what I think it is, my God but its laughable ! Please tell me more (or set me straight) dermot,i'm simpling employing that the tyrone players are getting tired after 5 or 6 savage seasons on the road and that their bodies are bound to be rebelling to the constant grind of being hugely competive in both league and championship over that period of time. By high levels of intesity i mean the huge millage covered in games by people like dooher and maguigan,cavanagh,ricey and jordan,at last years AI semi i saw dooher and mcguigan standing in the no.2 and no.3 positions defending and then being back up the field for the next attack. I also mean by high levels of insensity the way tyrone grinded kerry into the ground in last years final with hard hits,relentless running and sublime forward power. Also the way tyrone attacked,harried and defended against kerry '03.in my opinion their efforts were of a high intensity game and i was in awe of this level of performance in amature players. I'm simply saying that they couldn't maintain this level of performance year after year,its just not humanly possible.there's nothing sinister in my comment and if you read back over my posts you will see that. sorry for any offence caused.
