Very important post, many were unaware of the full story, Similarities to the McElduff/Kingsmill tweet in some ways, both thoughtless to murder of loved ones. both issued apologies, innocence pleaded etc . Some outrage within RTE at the crass Kingmill tweet over 3 days on 4-5 radio programmes until the politician rightly resigned . No sanction on the DJ though, just an apology.

So Tyrone GAA continues to be all about Micky Harte .... greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 20/08/2018 21:22:38 2135021 Link 1 |

Mickey is hired to coach the team. Tyrone GAA could have nominated any other person to speak to rte if they had wanted to but they haven't so that says it all really. They've kept him about regardless so it's not like they don't know what to expect. I suspect the county board respect Mickey enough to stand behind him.

Good summary Tearsin85 with two important omissions * Comedy sketch had 'Pretty little girl from Omagh' as a backing track shortly after Mickey Harte's only daughter was murdered on her honeymoon. Hard to believe I know * Follow up apology by DJ included ' you must have a sense of humour about these things' Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 20/08/2018 21:35:34 2135030 Link 0 |

Mickey Harte can still be heard on Newstalk, local radio and seen on Sky, TV3 so we wont be denied his reaction to the AI final. I think Tyrone welcome some ex players on TV panels if only to restore some balance to the personal abuse dished out by TSG pundits. A brief summary would include . 'Puke football',' play like a team with a bad smell and I'll eat my hat if they win an AI with him on board', 'dont talk to me of him as a man' 'Tyrone's manager for life' .. I could go on but the only time I ever heard producer/presenter of TSG withdraw/apologise was when one of their own staff was compared to Cavan football Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 20/08/2018 21:53:36 2135036 Link 1 |

To answer your question, Yes. What's wrong with that? He's the head of the most senior team in the country, the public face of Tyrone Gaa, the same as O'Rourke is in Monaghan what's the problem? Would Monaghan back O'Rourke? Of course they would! If Mickey jumped in the river O 'Rourke would jump in after him...

When he keeps masterminding beating Monaghan in Croke Park I think it should stay that way

No its not all about Micky Harte . I know he has managed them to AI victories at both minor and U-21s , 3 senior AI's and 6 Ulster titles but the semi final was all about Morgan's restarts, Cavanagh's fielding, runs by McCann, Harte and Donnelly, Sludden's shooting etc

No that's what it started over. The Murray thing was after that. He apologized and micky accepted it.

More backbone than any Tyrone player. How much backbone did peter the average have when john Mac sent him flying??? Hon the Royal royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 20/08/2018 22:27:46 2135054 Link 1 |

Overstated and incorrect. It's a sort of unban legend now. Totally fake news as Murray personally phoned mh to apologize and what's more mh fully accepted his apology. So for those using this they are wrong.

I hope Sean Cavanagh enjoys spending his 30 pieces of silver, if he and the other Tyrone ex players had anything about them they'd have stayed a mile clear of Rte, suppose the lure of the bright lights and the few euros was too much to resist for them. Fair play to Mickey Harte. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 20/08/2018 23:12:12 2135080 Link 2 |

I think the boycott is great and hope it continues well after Mickey Harte's Tyrone days are over. We hear enough from Tyrone up here every day of the week so I don't need my ears annoyed further on the airwaves!! Tir Conaill Abu (Donegal) - Posts: 1671 - 20/08/2018 23:15:01 2135083 Link 0 |

Untrue. The football team of then choose to stand by their manager as they all knew michaela very well and were very upset that the National broadcaster of Ireland would use such bad taste for a cheap laugh . Since then all the squads have continued to back Mickie Harte on this issue. He did not order them not to speak to RTÉ. He's made that very clear.

The whole scetch was a jibe at mickey harte and how is it proper for rte to pick on him anyway a private citizen who gives his time to train an amateur team in an amateur organisation outside of dublin anyway. To do these these sketches against celebrities who make money out of fame is fair game to target mickey harte was disgusting. Rte and the dublin media should take a long walk of a short pier.
