Tyrone will be without their legendary manager for tomorrow's relegation battle with Kerry

Mickey Harte is recovering from a surgical procedure and won’t be in Omagh.

TYRONE FACE KERRY in a crucial NFL Division 1 clash tomorrow in Omagh, with the loser likely to go down to Division 2.

Tyrone have been dealt a blow though, with the news that their three-time All-Ireland winning manager Mickey Harte won’t be on the touchline for the game.

Harte is recovering from a ‘surgical procedure’ and it’s likely that his assistants, Gavin Devlin and Peter Donnelly, will take charge tomorrow.

“Tyrone Senior Football manager Mickey Harte underwent a surgical procedure on Monday and is now recovering at home,” Tyrone said in a statement.

“He will resume his managerial duties with the senior football team in the very near future. Coiste Contae Thir Eoghain​, the players and backroom team wish Mickey a speedy recovery.​”

    Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season

    He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.

    Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think

    It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.

    It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
