Tyrone players say the Rosary before every game

[BennyCake]

Tyrone management and players can do whatever suits them without having to get it approved by GAA Board agnostics.
Do any of ye cringe or get embarrassed when half the world's soccer players bless themselves coming on the pitch.

No because that's their own personalchoice. They're not forced to bless themselves. It's something they've taken on themselves to do.

It's not their own personal choice to put their jerseys on at the same time or wear Cuba Classics clothes to matches  or follow a little black book like the Dubs a few years ago or any range of team bonding sessions. Players will input to unusual things if they feel it's sold to them in a way that helps the team. It seems to work so far, if they don't believe in the prayers then they just go along with the idea of creating a shared togetherness or whatever it is meant to achieve as they prepare for a battle. I wouldn't imagine too many lads are considering the religious impact on their lives, misbehaving priests or whatever other faux outrage has been expressed on social media. If Tyrone win the AI it will be a master stroke - every two bit paid club manager will be demanding reserved seats at church on match day mornings.

Jesus most of you regular lads must have sweet fa to do. You are literally on here arguing about a team praying!

[Rossfan]

What if they were divil worshipping?

A lot of people suspect they are

Sure we're practically ready for sainthood.

What would happen is a Muslim or the like was a decent footballer in Tyrone, would they have to convert?

They would have to say some thing Muslimy in a Tyrone style

There is no manager other than Mickey
Mickey is the football prophet

[vallankumous]

it's some reflection when Mickey Harte can get them to do something they wouldn't do for their own Mothers.

Some player years ago was asked what it meant to win the all Ireland
"i'll have to get a new mickey"
If the rosary is the way to get there ...

[snoopdog]

Sacred Harte. Ha ha I love it.

Maybe they would do something different to aid team bonding!
