Says more about the manager than it does about the players. Yesterday was bitterly disappointing but the fact is that Tyrone wanted it more than Donegal which is understandable. If we had Mickey Harte & Tyrone had Rory Gallagher I would lay big money we would have won. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 18/07/2016 17:37:29 1885760 Link 3 |
Did anybody count the total amount of Injury time played in both half?

We definitely need a new management team, it's not fair on the players or supporters as things stand, horses lead by donkeys. TirChonaillabu2 (Donegal) - Posts: 344 - 19/07/2016 07:00:27 1885996 Link 0 |
Definitely agree. Rory is not the answer and is not up to the job. I do feel if we still had Jim or even a higher calibre manager than Rory we would be sitting here with 5 out of 6 Ulster titles. We cant close out games due to his stupid tactics and inept management. I have an awful fear though that the man has an ego and because of this he wont step down. He is denying a top team the chance to fulfill their potential and win honours and denying our county the opportunity to enjoy success when we actually have a good side. I just think he is too blinkered to do the decent and right thing and leave his post.

I've given him the benefit of the doubt but after Sunday I feel it's one we may have left behind. Last year was unfortunate. You just can't legislate for good players missing chances like we did so I would excuse him for that. But on Sunday I felt the opportunity was there to put the foot to Tyrone's throat early second half and he bottled it with his tactics. It certainly looked like the plan was to hold possession at all costs, never risk losing it and hope to eek out a win by a couple of points. We needed more variety to our attack and it never looked like materialising. It's not as if Tyrone's plan was a mystery either - every man and his dog knew they'd set up like they did. Which is why it was all the more puzzling that we didn't have a plan B. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9155 - 19/07/2016 11:36:36 1886131 Link 1 |
