Tyrone have done that, now wear the T-shirt

Before we talk about Tiernan McCann, and we need to talk about him because no other topic in the GAA seems to be worth ventilating, an observation.

The current dislike of Tyrone can be examined from every angle under the sun and every one of those angles has been pontificated upon with late-Victorian era fastidiousness. My favourite remains the reference to a bad smell following them around.

A bad smell following Tyrone. No other team in the GAA? Please. As though every county in Ireland didn’t have a couple of bucks . . . but that’s a different argument.
