You seem to disagree with his stance because he should be able to differentiate between various strands of RTE.

I think that's presumptuous on your part, because you have no idea how he feels about what happened back then.

That's all. Apologies if I'm twisting your words.

He knew enough to sign a letter to the Director General regarding Brian Carthy.

He works in the media and dealt with RTE Sports for nearly a decade before the event.

Look. The choice of song was so, so bad that I believe it had to be a terrible mistake. It could only have been made by someone who hadn't a clue about the tragedy. No one in their right mind would have considered that funny or even remotely acceptable if they were aware of what had happened his daughter.

I am not for a second disputing any of that.

But like I say, I believe the boycott on RTE Sports (whatever about the rest of RTE) is damaging to Tyrone and doesn't achieve anything.

I agree with that too. But I think he's right to maintain it if he feels strongly about it, and only he can know that.

On a personal level, you are obviously right. But he also has responsibilities elsewhere.

We can probably leave it at that.

The thing that bugs me is how all of this behaviour sits alongside Harte's deep rooted Christianity?  He is a very devout man who has used his undoubted faith in God to get him through some very dark moments in his life but should he not forgive RTE? Is this not what his religion tells him to do?

That's what bugs you about all this? Jesus Christ.

Jesus doesn't bug me, how Harte's treatment of RTE sits alongside his religious beliefs do.

And by them men I don't mean Micky Harte at all, but the multitude of posters spouting their "great moral beliefs and proper practices" - just to be clear

If Mickey Harte was a Jew, a religion that counsels against turning the other cheek, his actions would not bug you. Is that fair?
