Have to admit I have enjoyed it anytime I have read it, unlike Hartes which is just a waste of a page on a Friday.

Harte always uses his for a bit of tyrone propaganda. Theres always an angle there getting at one of the top teams eg a few weeks ago he made a big issue with cluxton taking a long time to take his frees. He seemed to be lobbying for a rule change preventing goalies coming up to take frees. The ironic thing is if tyrone had a really accurate freetaking goalie he would be talking about how brilliant and exciting it is to see keepers up taking frees.

Aye Mickey Harte's would bore the pants off ye, I never read it. I like Teirneys for the craic but I prefer Heaneys as he knows what he is chatting about as well as a bit of humour, something which Harte's column fails to do.

his sense of humor rubs of on his writing, a most enjoyable read for me

Agreed

Benny is a bit of craic and doesn't take himself too seriously.

What a pity Benny Tierney has only 13 words in his vocabulary:
Peter- the- great, Canavan, Armagh,Tyrone, I, me, Crossmaglen,Kiernan,Geezer,her-indoors.
If he had a few more he could be a great ass -------------- et to the Irish News.
Apology its just recently up to 14 as he has added Fermanagh to his vocab.

Another word that Benny is very good at shouting is 4..... iv seen him shouting it quite a few times on the golf course..

I dont think I've ever got past the 2nd paragraph of one of Mickey's articles

Another Friday in the Irish News............ Another section of Mickey Harte's column praising the hell out of Tyrone GAA. The Scor has about 8 acts Mickey and eirrgal won one Ulster title get over it!!!!what about the other 7 or so!!!

I'd blame Tierney too.

Benny is a good read. Paddy is direct and concise, yet familiar sounding. Mickey is shocking. I can't believe he writes it to be honest as he's a very good direct speaker.

From today's academic paper submitted to the journal of Ulster GAA via the Irish News:

'...malign those who do on occasion present some cogent arguments which displease the polit bureau.'

That's just trying too hard!!
