Good to see Benny back for a light hearted look at Gaelic Games issues.  He doesn't try to be controversial just for for the sake of, like some other columnists.  In refering to the English national anthem he says it's a

song about an old woman across the shuck who is apparently both gracious and glorious

I've heard it called many's a thing but never this.

Did anyone else read Benny's Ulster All Star selection the other day?

Did he get one of his kids to type it up or what?

Is that exactly how he spelt it in the Newspaper?    If so, is there no editing of spelling these days?

Looked like a dodgy spell check job. Best one was Mournemen becoming Mortensen.

Aye, saw that yesterday.  Mussy got an All-Star at corner forward and that boyoo Philly Jordan from Moya got one at half back.

Ah now, you couldn't always be pointing out nonsense posted by teachers or you'd never get anything done.
