'You’d feel for any team that gets a battering' - Mickey Harte on facing Dublin

THE CREST ON his tracksuit might be the Oak Leaf now, but Mickey Harte still could empathise with his former captain Brian Dooher after Tyrone took a 21-point shellacking from Dublin last weekend.

The terrifying prospect for Harte is that Dublin still have more experienced operators to return to the starting grid with the likes of Cormac Costello, Jack McCaffrey and Stephen Cluxton all back in the fold. Unlike some other managers who have raised the point in the past, Harte has no great desire to see Dublin pushed out of Croke Park for their league engagements.

“But I still think it’s good to play in Croke Park. I think anyone who gets a chance to play in Croke Park they delight in it. I wouldn’t be for moving anything like that. “Just go play it and get used to playing in it. And if you do enough to get used to playing in it then that will help your cause.”

“If you’re an outsider looking in and want to paint a picture and create a narrative you can do that.
