Listening without prejudice

IT’S FUNNY, the sideshows and nuggets thrown up by a saga such as the current conflict in Cork.

Funny peculiar, that is, but you still learn some things along the way. Anyone who’s taken a passing interest in this row over the last few weeks now has a far better grasp of GAA technical procedures when it comes to appointing managers and selectors, not to mention the nitty-gritty of voting processes at the Cork County Board level.

Listen and learn. That can’t be a bad thing.
