There may have been just four points in it at the end but Monaghan’s purpose and structure left the Tyrone challenge looking rather insipid and disjointed. It’s clear Mickey Harte’s men are missing the presence of Cathal McShane in the full-forward line. McShane attended a club team meeting on Tuesday night and suggested he might be on his way, though nothing is in stone yet. Judging by Harte’s comments here, there is only a sliver of hope he will be a Tyrone player this year. Both team doctors had a long hard look and while McNamee came off for Tyrone, Hughes remained on.
