Harte's book-

[longrunsthefox]

I see 'HARTE-PRESENCE IS THE ONLY THING'...been well trumphed in Irish News today with ads on two different pages for it.
Apparently.."In his candid and forthright autobiography MH pulls no punches, uncovering the truth behind some of the the contraversies that have dogged his career and revealing for the first time the stories behind the tensions within the Tyrone camp in 2004."

Has anyone read it? The Fox is getting a bit tight with the ££s and would want to hear what it is like first. I've a feeling 'some' may be the operative word regarding the contraversies. It couldn't be in his interest to reveal all. As for 2004, is that about his son Mark playing or what? I remember he played in replacement for Brian McGuigan when Tyrone lost quarter final to Mayo. Although he did come on in 2005 Ulster final against Armagh and it was his last outing for the county. I would have put 2004 as imposible to focus on winning Sam after the sad death of Cormac in March however.
I think the plan might have been to be siting beside Brian Cody on Late Late Show last night as two winning All Ireland managers

The word on the street, at the time, was that certain players weren't too impressed after Harte's 'diary' was released in 2003 - what's said in the changing room stays in the changing room - I wonder what the reaction will be to this one?

Was there not a disagreement between Harte and Paddy Tally in 2004 as well. Maybe this will feature alot.

In 2004 v Mayo Brian McGuigan was a late withdrawl for the game. Think it was Ciaran Gourley who replaced him. Mark Harte was there on merit that year. Had great games v Derry in Ulster then v Down and Laois in the qualifers.

I will await tomorrows Sunday Times to see if there is anything of interest . I hope he will give the readers a good insight into what makes him and Tyrone tick although I would expect him not to be so forthright in voicing his true feelings as he is still involved

Apparently the queen is upset that she doesn't get a mention in it after all she's done to bring Sam to Tyrone.

Dont think there'll be a big pile revealed. He wouldn't want to shit on his own doorstep now , would he

[Jimmy Two Times]

His last book was poor.  There is no doubt he has  a fascinating an insightful story to tell but he is not the sort of character to tell it while he is still in the game.  He won't offer any forthright opinions that might harm his relationship with his players or that may be used as motivation by other teams.

Sizeable extracts in The Times today. Fascinating for Tyronnies, maybe not for outsiders. He intimates that Cavanagh didn't start v Cork for a variety of personal reasons.

The cross-dressing bit was a real eye-opener.
