Declan Bogue THE FIRST ENCOUNTER THAT Mickey Harte had with the National football league was one to make the toes curl.
Small problem. There was nobody else there from Tyrone to bring the canister to the front of the ballroom in the Great Northern Hotel in Bundoran. Nobody has had a longer stint in charge of teams in the history of intercounty GAA, Gaelic football or hurling. There were nuances at play. As a county, Tyrone have an abundance of talent and a strong underage record through the coaching in clubs, schools and colleges.
Others had a similar attitude. Dublin’s five leagues in six years from 2013 curiously escaped the same levels of cynicism.
