Fair Play To Mickey Harte

LegalEagle · August 04, 2007, 06:19:24 PM

Just saw Mickey Hartes post match interiew with Joanne Cantwell. He had no excuses and said the better team won. Nice to see there are some managers who can be gracious in defeat unlike managers like Jack O Connor and Billy Morgan

Agree there but someone would want to point out to him that Meath had just as many wides as tyrone.

pints,

they may have as many wides but scored more and were miles the better team from a neutral point of view.Change of the guard, armagh,tyrone,mayo and dublin are finished, unfortunate to have met a very strong kerry team but at least tyrone got a few cherries.

Ah I know that, my point was that in his interview Harte was putting a lot of emphasis on the wides tyrone kicked, but sorry Mickey, Meath had just as many.
Meath were by far the better team.

I didn't see the game today but Mickey Harte always comes across as a sports man when on the losing side. In contrast to some other high profile managers. Fair play to him.

Just what I thought as well....he was obviously bitterly disappointed, but still had the presence of mind to mention the young fella he met during the week. Fair play to Micky Harte.

My video cut out half way through his interview. What wee lad did he meet?

You're probably right.

I had the VideoPlus set for when I was in Dublin for the game. The delay screwed up the times.

I think it was a wee lad he met at Campa Chormaic earlier this week.
