John Riordan: As a raft of football stars cross the Atlantic, maybe it's better to have the old ways back

Maybe it's my fault for not digging around enough (or the timesuck that was watching the downfall of Boris) but the only Gaelic football story I read this week as of Thursday morning was the link sent to our WhatsApp group by my friend back in Cork. Which is a dereliction of duty considering the week that’s in it.
Alas, no, I'm afraid the reporter he was urging us to read wasn't excitedly previewing the weekend of real football we're lucky to be looking forward to. I suppose that feel-good kind of thing doesn't normally generate your usual WhatsApp fodder; the text group is not the best place to earnestly anticipate the Tailteann Cup final and the All-Ireland SFC's final four.
