Fair enough to not like a manager but stop the lying.....Johnson has a broken finger so I don't think that's down to overtraining either
You’re right. Johnson broke his finger.. what happened after that? They ran the shite out of him and he tore his calf!! 🤣

Hyland got injured with Offaly?
He just played with his club after like any good clubman would to try and get Raheen over the line in intermediate.

Johnson has since pulled his calf because they were dogging him when he was out with the broken finger FYI.

So nobody’s lying here. Just you talking nonsense as per snotser or Kevin Corrigan or whoever you are.

In positive news.

Shane Tierney & Dylan Hyland are both back on the pitch running. So hopefully not too far away. I think Kyle Higgins isn’t too far away behind either

There is a team released to media but I am told it won't start like that as couple off named panel supposed to be injured. Hard to know what to believe any more.

I myself have heard Dempsey won’t start. Lee should be fine. You’d imagine Conor Dunican might be at full back.

Unreal news to get Hyland, Tierney and Higgins back. Would help an awful lot going forward, and add depth to our midfield. Christ we need some luck before the Laois game.

In some positive news. Aidan Bracken is on the bench this evening. Finally a player returning rather than being injured.

Was he injured or had he left the panel?

Either way, a welcome addition back to the panel.

Genuinely we could be winning this game. Finally a solid performance. Against the wind and have had the chances to score more. Also finally scored a goal and have created goal chances. Interesting 35 to come.

Good first half, Dreadful 2nd half.. Tyrone were poor at times we fought to the end though good to get that goal at the end better looking score line. Thought we should of brought on fresh legs but we didn't, we had wind on our back in 2nd half but didn't use it to well. Better than last week I'd say.. very small offaly crowd tonight. At least that's the long trips over for the players anyway.

Tyrone 28 points and 3 of them from frees. So 25 from play 🤔

Plenty of encouragement to take from the first half. Slow starts have been a huge problem for us this year so it was nice to be still in a game at halftime.

The second half was quite poor. Two points down and playing with the wind, you’d have felt quietly confident we could come away with something but we must’ve burned everything we had in the first half and unfortunately we have no options on the bench at the moment.

Scoring two goals and keeping a clean sheet is a positive.

The best news tonight for Offaly though emanated from Newbridge where Kildare’s defeat at the hands of Meath gives Offaly a reprieve.

If we can beat Cavan at home in two weeks, we might just be facing an already promoted Meath on the final day with an opportunity to leapfrog Kildare… wouldn’t that be something!

Definitely a better performance than last week .
Tyrone we're very average.
At best.
Our second half performance was poor especially with the wind and our kicking ability and selection is like buying scratch cards to pay the bills
I was talking to a good few of the natives after the game they are not happy with there management and board
The big question especially for common sense why was there not a gap between these two away days considering next weekend is free.
The gaa seems to more concerned about protests procedure and there own self worth than players and fans .
Have a good weekend

Was a decent first half. But 25 points from play tells a worrying story. Furlong is a massive loss in the defence and with him not there we are extremely weak at the back. The ease at which Tyrone went up the field and scored points, was like a training game. Who’s the defensive coach in there? Lads getting praised every week in press reports for ball carrying out of the defence. Might be a good idea to start defending a bit first.
