2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

He never blamed Cavanagh for anything.

He said he thought he bottled it.

He did. At least that was the reflective opinion of one player

Harte got lucky with an extraordinary bunch of players

As has been shown since he is limited as a manager/coach/motivator

Jaysis I dunno. Reaching an All Ireland Final with 15 mediocre footballers with Peaky Blinder Haircuts and tight shorts is a fair achievement.

A year before Tyrone won their All Ireland they were humiliated by Sligo in Croke Park.

Harte is the greatest GAA coach of our time, what he has achieved has been extraordinary. The players who won All Irelands under him attest how vital he was to the success.

Sean Cavanagh on with Matt Cooper at the moment. He estimates that he got 4 to 6 concussions a year playing Gaelic football.

That would roughly equal the number of Rosaries said in the dressing room on championship days.
I gleaned that nugget from this morning’s show.
There’s something disturbingly eccentric about that carry on. Fucking voodooesque.

Gaelic football seems to have a serious concussion problem that it’s not facing up to.

For supppsedly such a holy man, mickey hate sure doesn’t believe in forgiveness.

Cavanagh came across very well indeed on the radio this morning. I greatly enjoyed the interview.

On top of the concussions, Sean Cavanagh spoke as well about the biting, spitting, off the ball punching and sledging that were rife throughout his playing days.

And that was only the training with Tyrone

As the old saying goes

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen
Gaelic football is a gentlemans game played by thugs

That’s not an old saying you dimwit

The interview with Matt Cooper was a good listen as well. I’d imagine Cooper will play it back on his best of the week selection on Saturday morning. He chronicled a strange enough episode the night Tyrone lost to Mayo in the 2016 quarter final where he seemed to have some kind of mini breakdown.
