"this is our year"  was bit of a poison challice to most involved.  nearly all involved ended up dropped or injured.  good read and interesting to see the level donegal brought it to last year.

Finished Joe Kernan book.Very good so it was.

Just finished his book also and enjoyed it, wish he went more into the physical training that went into both club and county teams but overall a good read.

Did Colm o Rourke every write a book ??
And what do you call Spillane second book??

Anyone read Ronan McSherry's book - Ronan's Rants? It's a collection of his column work. Not exactly an out-and-out GAA book but does have the backdrop of a GAA fanatic. I didn't have high expectations (we had a bit of a run-in years ago) but found myself pleasantly surprised and it did make me laugh a few times. I hadn't laughed since 1995. I'd be interested in how non-Tyronites/mid-Ulsters think of it or whether it's a local humour. A good read. You can get her on kindle.

One of the best ever GAA autobiogs. Written in the 90s. It's called Out of our Skins. Updated and republished recently.

You're getting your Meath legends mixed up!

Lookin forward to Liam Hayes book about Heffo. Hearing great noises about it. Think what you want about Hayes as a journalist and his opinions....BUT if its as half as good as his own book it will be very good.

Great new book by Paul Fitzpatrick of the Anglo Celt about Cavan's victory in The Polo Grounds and how it all came about. Great read for any GAA fan, not just Cavan fans. Obviously a lot of research done and it shows, great read.

Haven't read an autobiography in a few years but really want to get Tysons when it comes out.  Thinking about Lance Armstrongs too.  DJ Carey is in Craigavon this weekend signing copies of his book.

Read an excerpt form Tyson's book online recently and it was pretty good. Check it out if you haven't read it yet.

Agree 100% only halfway through it, mind you it does have added appeal to a cavanman. Eamon Sweeney's Road to Croker account of the 2003 championship season is a great read, he gave his liver some punishment in the name of literature.
