Did anyone buy the Sunday World last week?

Great column this weekend Mickey. That's more like it. We need gutter dressed up in big words.

Do people actually buy the Sunday World? What will be the "World Exclusive" this week - "Big Malcy Mc Coubrey, UVF drug lord from Doagh has admitted to buggering a mountain goat. The local UVF bosses are said to be "furious".........." Or something like that...............

I really look forward to a book containing a compilation of Mickey's articles.

Can I suggest a name?

Tyrone will never produce a player of Spillanes genius. I think this frustrates Harte as all his systems and "innovations"  ::)  cant make a silk purse from a sow's ear

I dont think any Tyrone fans would question how good a player Spillane was Mike. Indeed the manner in which he tracked back all over the field would have made him perfectly at home in the Tyrone side of the past few years, he was at the puke football way before his time ;). No the issue here is Spillane's quite awful punditry, for which Mickey has quite rightly taken him to task. For somebody who played the game to such a high standard Spillane shows a startling lack of insight.

What will the theme of the column be next week? Today it was "playing to the crowd".

Well, its quite obvious that the editors had a word in his ear so he decided to pander to the virulent anti-Kerry sentiment that is so prevalent in Ulster. No doubt sales will triple.

I am not aware of any Anti Kerry sentiment in Ulster, particularly in Down. Kerry have always set the standard that all counties aspire to. No one can argue against the success that they have consistently achieved. However people like MS seem to find it difficult to recognise that Tyrone have put it up to Kerry over the past decade and it can be a difficult pill to swallow. They have raised the bar and refuse to lie down. Spillane just never gives credit to the rise of Ulster football, not just over the past decade but even to the success of Derry , Down and Donegal in the early 90s. Kerrys easy passage to AI success is now a thing of the past and that can only be a good thing for the health of the game.

That puke football comment obviously rankled with Harte...what have I constantly been telling you lads about Tyrones need for recognition from Kerry ? What more proof do you need !

Yet another Kerry one writhing in pain over 2003, 2005 and 2008 and taking the opportunity to have a wee pop at anything Tyrone.

Personally I have  a good laugh at them,

Keep them coming Kerry lads, ;D  ;D  ;D

would Peter Canavan not fall into this category.  Or should I be saying "Kerry will never produce a player of Canavans genius".

Frankie Donnelly
Frank McGuigan
Peter Canavan

All 3 as good as if not better than Spillane who benefitted from the players around him setting them on a plate for him.

When you listen to the sh*te he talks how on earth could you describe him as a genius?
