CHOICE WORDS



I've been telling you guys for years that Ireland is the greatest country on earth Roy Keane responds to the British media when asked about Ireland's performance in their cricket World Cup opener 'Australian saves Irish blushes against understrength Zimbabwe' The headline in the London Independent after Ireland's heroic draw against a testplaying nation. Less than 24hours later South African Kevin Pietersen tried but couldn't save English blushes against New Zealand. We couldn't resist I love my little county of Monaghan and I like to put my county on the map. Bord F�ilte wouldn't be in it.

And when you come over from County Monaghan to Cheltenham and "nish third in the Coral Cup, your health doesn't bother you. I leave my health in the hands of God Trainer Oliver Brady who's recovering from cancer and saw his horse Baron de Feypo come in third on Wednesday "There is an old saying among managers that when you play against any of the top four you can have your arse felt. Well, at least we didn't have our arse felt.

Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce finds comfort in not having his arse felt by Chelsea.

They were promoting a phone-in programme for last Monday night and posed the question: 'Are Tipperary footballers the worst footballers in Ireland?' Any local station should be promoting the positive things about inter-county teams Tipperary PRO Jonathan Cullen confirms the county footballers aren't the worst, but they are all a little sensitive This idea has come from the devil and not from God. Football in its present form is proving such an attraction, why change it?

Jimmy Hill reacts to angrily to proposals that would see draws in the football league settled by penalty shoot-outs with bonus points awarded to the victors I think it's a bit sad that this has happened following the contribution we have made to the McKenna Cup over the past "ve years. The breath of life which we breathed into the competition since 2003, and the energy and effort which we always attributed to it, if that's the thanks we get, then it's a bit sad Tyrone manager Mickey Harte recognises the contribution unlike the rules, as his team are stripped of the title after again fielding ineligible players
