Mickey Harte joins the Irish News

[naka]

Have to say barry breen was as good a player as I saw
And I am an Armagh man
And to not have Moynihan or Joyce is a travesty

[Syferus]

It's a disgrace he didn't pick Cake.

[Mike Sheehy]

How can anyone leave Seamus Moynihan out of his best team of the last 25 years ? Its simply impossible !!................Mickey Harte.....is  he completely clueless or does he just hate Kerry ?

[From the Bunker]

Trevor Giles and Michael Donnellan would have been unlucky in the half forward line. Never saw larry tompkins play

But for Thompkins, there's a good chance Cork wouldn't have won those 2 in late 80s.

He was some player.

They would not have, no doubt! (Along with Shay Fahy) He was Kildares  Loss!

[BennyCake]

Paul McGrane was nowhere near the player PJ McGrane was.

Absolutely right. And Benny Counter was twice the player Benny Coulter is (see Page 71 of today's Irish News)

Anyway looked at the team. Not too bad but think you have to get Seamus Moynihan in there somehow. Also not sure about the Larry Tompkins selection. Think better players than Larry overlooked there. Might have felt Cork deserved a pick for their late 80's team.

What about the Down team of the early 90s. Won 2 all irelands, only one less than tyrone who have 3 players selected. Blaney should certainly be selected, he's arguably the best number 11 ever. Moynihan and Tohill are the other 2 I would include. Moynihan is a better all round player than mcgeeney and also Tohill is a much better midfielder than cavanagh. Having said that Cavanagh could probably make the team as a half forward.

Dont know how everyone has overlooked Henry Downey.

Best player i ever seen play and a personal hero of mine.

Great player but not even the best on the 93 Derry team.

I agree.

See Harte's whinging in the Irish News again . . . dear lord someone give him the boot he offers nothing new or interesting at all!! If Tyronies want to hear another one of his rants against Universities/New Rules/Compromise Rules they should give him a regular feature in Teamtalk rather than polluting a paper that normally serves the rest of us quite well!!

[5 Sams]

I'm surprised there was no feed back on his "best" team of the last 25 years in Off the Fence yesterday. God forbid the IN would be censoring criticism of one of their columnists!!

[nrico2006]

I don't know which is worse, Hartes column or Jarlath Burns'.  At least I don't buy the Gaelic Life.

[Jinxy]

No Ray Magee?
Joke of a team.

[J OGorman]

sickening alright. MH is a decent man, whether you dig his column or not. You may well have issues lad

He is unbelievably depressing to read. I stopped buying the irish news on fridays for a while to avoid his column. If he didn't have a vested interest in the things he writes about then he would have more credibility. He is using his position though to promote a tyrone agenda and it is something I think the irish news should not have allowed. At the very least the sports editor should be tearing to pieces some of his articles since they are blatantly designed to influence referees/media in favour of tyrone.
