The good, the bad and the ugly

TRY hard not to feel cheated. Try to peer through the battleground smoke and see Tyrone’s joy yesterday at Croke Park. Their first Championship win against Kerry. The chance of their first All-Ireland title. Think of Peter Canavan. Can’t you see it? The years of suffering. The long wait. Now, a September 28 release date?

Enjoy it a while, Tyrone. Pick up one of those special dispensation passes. Admire the tenacity, ferocity of the team, the exuberance of Eoin Mulligan, the raw power of Sean Cavanagh, the attention to detail of Mickey Harte.

Then join the post mortem.
