The week of a thousand columns

SOME WEEKS you just don’t have enough space for everything.

Take a peek at the array of yarns which jockeyed for consideration here this week. The possibility that Croke Park might host the All Blacks next year? Normally be a front-page story. Not this week, though. The contest has just been too fierce.

Darren Rooney of Laois saying the Dublin players abused his county’s medics as they tended to injured midlanders? That didn’t make the cut either.
