“I suppose you come in and there is maybe a freshness, something different. When Mickey came into us in 2003, it worked for us. I think it’s the players, maybe they realised they have a point to prove again, and maybe they’re out to prove a point to everybody. "They want to get on the team, there’s a whole freshness from that perspective, maybe."In the league semi-final against Kerry, Tyrone were completely dominated, leaking six goals and making costly mistakes in succession.

That’s evidence of the work-rate that they put in all around the field, not just in defence, and they put up some big scores this year as well.”
