The deliberate targeting of Shane McGuigan in this first half has been an absolute disgrace. This whiter than white image that's always painted about Kerry needs reviewed. If an Ulster team was at the carry on that Kerry are at there would be some outcry on the Sunday Game.

Donegal blown up twice in the first 15 minutes for a fourth hand pass while trying to break down a packed Down defence.. Down denied a great goalscoring chance because the forward made the right decision and slipped a 4th hand pass. Get rid & let the game evolve naturally please!

11 seconds from boot to net! Suck the opposition press in, isolate a man on the opposite 45 and have runners under the kick. Always said kick outs are a great platform to launch attacks from, a thing of beauty when it comes off.

Meyler & McGeary absolutely immense, coin toss for man of the match. Talk about managers, coaches etc but my god hats off to Peter Donnelly, the physical conditioning of Tyrone was mind-blowing! First move Dooher and Logan made was getting him back at all costs.

Any chance @UlsterGAA @SportBeo ?? Nearly 10 minutes now & nothing?? If you are offering a service and charging surely this shouldn't be happening?

Your own kickouts should be a platform to launch attacks from, few key coaching points; โžก๏ธ Look short, invite a press! โžก๏ธ Kick over the press โžก๏ธ Anticipate break ball โžก๏ธ Develop next phase โžก๏ธ Isolate inside forwards It's very satisfying as a coach when risks become rewards! ๐Ÿ

Very easy to forget the career threatening injuries Luke Shaw has had, nearly lost his leg two years ago..Today he was absolutely outstanding, best player on the pitch, great to see! Top of the league January, who would have thought ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ’ช

Absolutely immeasurable what Brian did for our town.. A real dark day for Newry and more importantly for his family and friends. A great guy and a real GAA man who looked after his own so well! Completely devastated for all the Conlon family! #RIP

Galway four wins from four, they beat kerry in kerry 1-14 to 0-14 and colm o rourke says they have introduced a "tyrone type defensive system" .. Honestly when will we actually get proper analysis of our games??? #pathetic

3 Goalkeepers at training, use all 3, game starts with 2 GKs pinging 2 kick outs to the 3 man weaves, they work a score, then turn & receive a kick out from the 3rd goalkeeper and it's 3v3. Tomorrow at @stjosephsnewry coaching day Niall Morgan will have a host of these games! ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ

John Wooden "Time spent comparing yourself to others is time wasted." One of the best things you can do in sport or life is be yourself & this man certainly did that. In a GAA world often steeped in negativity he brought a bit of personality & colour to the game! รdh mรณr TOB ๐Ÿ‘

Another standout for me last night in Tyrone v Dublin game was the physical conditioning of both teams, 2 teams athletically in serious shape, lot of investment in proper s & c going on in both counties for a long time, obviously collectively huge player buy in also #culture

Over 400 coaches from all over Ireland attended @stjosephsnewry annual Coach Education Day. 14 years in the making, it's not become the biggest Coach Education event in Ireland but "the best!" In the words of Mick Bohan "Ive never seen anything like this" not bad for a bluffer ๐Ÿ˜Š

Genuinely the greatest player I have ever seen and only 23. Today was just an exhibition on and off the ball, a joy to watch. "The most open All Ireland in years" might have to be reviewed ๐Ÿคฏ #Clifford
