No sign yet of spring thaw in gloomy Mayo
We’ll always, despite ourselves, talk down acracker, cloud it in gloomy talk like we do the first good day of the year. I suppose that’s the summer now.
Which is a pity after games like Cork-Tipp last Sunday. Even with no hay saved and no one, ultimately, bet, it’s a crying shame that we can’t give ourselves over to a splendid spectacle — laden with pinpoint shooting, fine interplay and, on Cork’s part, a stirring revival — without noting, at length, that it will never be this loose in May or June.
