Coincidence in Tony Leen article on Paidi O Se

Great minds, or -----------

TONY LEEN ON PAIDI O SE (2012) – Irish Examiner

The larcenous nature of death, its habit of breaking in on us when we are least prepared and stealing the irreplaceable, has seldom been more painfully experienced than on the roads and boithríns around West Kerry last night.

HUGH MCILVANEY ON JOCK STEIN (1985) – collected in ‘McIlvaney on Football’

The larcenous nature of death, its habit of breaking in on us when we are least prepared and stealing the irreplaceable, has seldom been more sickeningly experienced than at Ninian Park in Cardiff on Tuesday night.

That smacks of a very unfortunate coincidence for Mr Leen.

3

Oops.

4

I wonder how many more ‘coincidences’ are lying around in Mr Leen’s writing?

5

Caught rotten there. :lol:

6

You’d think he would have twisted it around a bit anyway

7

Lazy bollocks, Leen.

On another unrelated issue, when were you sacked by Leen Coincidence? :strokechin:

8

Never; closer to being sacked by Jock Stein.

When were you employed by Mr Leen?

9

Id say this coincidence lad works with Leen but hasnt the stones to oust him in public

10

You don’t get any more public than TFK

11

Coincidence, have you taken your new members quiz? Or paid your sub to Rocko?

12

It is easy to see how our great little country went down the pan when people see 100% evidence before their eyes but are most interested in working an angle to turn it back on the messenger. Never overestimate people, isn’t that what they say…

Never had a bit to do with Mr Leen. McIlvaney is still alive as far as I’m aware.

Hello there Coincidence. Thank you for sharing this revelation with TFK. What prompted you to choose us to reveal this coincidence?

14

What prompted you to find it strange that the coincidence would end up on a sports website?

15

I don’t find it strange.

16

But if you don’t find it strange why ask the motivation? A GAA writer plagiarising a football writer like that, would it be ok?

17

You would wonder how lean got this past the editor, until you learn he is the editor.
Shambolic from the examiner.

18

Whose multi is Coincidence? I thought it was Bandage, but apparently not.

19

No, it wouldn’t be okay.

I don’t find it at all strange that somebody would raise this if they happened upon it. I was merely flattered that you chose TFK to do so and wondered why as we’re not one of the biggest and most widely followed boards.

Not the biggest or most widley followed bando but definitely the best
