A couple of paragraphs would have been suitable, Mickey.

Kevin Cassidy's column in Gaelic Life have been excellent.

You took the (internet equivalent) words out of my mouth. Fresh stuff every week, insights into a county players life, not afraid to speak his mind, no repetition, entertaining and amusing. Coinnigh lasta é a Chaoimhín. Maith thú.

Subscribed to Gaelic Life there for a look recently, expecting my free-state senses to be wildly offended...not a bit of it, some great reading every week. Columns on strength and conditioning trends, sensible analysis from the likes of Kevin Cassidy for example and good coverage on all levels of Gaelic games. Puts the mainstream media coverage in most quarters down here to shame really..

You can get it in Garveys in Dingle so you're bound to get it in your neck of the woods CT....unless of course you are thar lear!

Christ almighty. We'll not go into the Béarlachas but a dung-clad Massey driving Ballyholland man should know that the saying is Keep (h)er lit and therefore the é should be an í.

Jaysus you're some grumpy oul hoor tonight between this and other threads. :-\ Tóg bóg é!!!

Yes, it's came to an end. What a weird reason to stop buying a paper for though.

Mickey has some excellent articles and was never afraid to take others on and argue a different view.

So someone who had nothing interesting to say provoked such a strong reaction in you the it forced you to actually boycott the newspaper that you previously bought every Friday. I never thought indifference could be such a strong emotion. Its a strange world we live in.
That was never a square ball!!

You're not the only one. I stopped buying on Fridays also and I know several others who did likewise. I started getting the independent or examiner and to be fair they are both superior papers. I will probably go back and try the Irish news on Fridays again though.

I have to admit, I was another anti-friday man.

To he fair Im an anti Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday man now.

I was another anti Friday Man. His columns were so predictable, repetitive and boring. Anti International rules, pro Railway Cup, leave the rules alone, have a pop at some un-named pundits, rhyme off a load of stats to back up his viewpoint and back some Tyrone club in a sponsored walk. Shuffle and repeat from week to week.
