Lighting the touchpaper on the All Stars

In GAA terms, we are well into The Twilight Zone.

It’s that chunk of space and time between the end of the All-Ireland football final and the first round of the league when the vacuum created by the lack of games and razzmatazz is filled by all sorts of stuff that we don’t give a hoot about when it’s summer and the living is easy.

Up to now, it’s not been all that bad. The embers first lit by Donegal’s epic campaign and ultimate victory have stayed alight all the way through to the present week with the McGee brothers, Eamon and Neil, popping up to promote the new Medal of Honour video game, of all things.
