According to sources close to the team, an internal vote tonight suggests that Tyrone are soon to make public their intention to wear Speedos in the group game against Donegal to protest against the ongoing skorts controversy.

Whether Malachy O’Rourke will also wear the swimwear on the sidelines hasn’t been made clear.

It has also been intimated that Cathal McShane left the panel because he wanted to wear the better-fitting Arena swimming togs but was overruled by Kennedy and Kilpatrick who are eyeing a long-term Speedos modeling contract.

Darren McCurry tried out wearing Speedos during tonight’s training but a wardrobe malfunction saw Padraig Hamspey taken to A&E with a vomiting condition.

The GPA has yet to comment.
