Hearsay won’t pass for history in the story of two great sporting rivals

IN relation to Ryle Dwyer’s column dealing with the vagaries of post-match interviews, can I say that the piece in general left me a little confused (Irish Examiner, August 26).

Is he — a Kerryman — trying to tell us (all others in the quest for football championship success) that there is no one who will listen to us and nothing that can be done, no matter how ‘rowdy’ Kerry’s brand of football becomes?

And here’s the 1946 All-Ireland football semi-final as an example! As a published historian I thought Mr Dwyer might be a bit more persuasive in his argument.
