Sir, - Machismo lives! I refer to the All Ireland Final in Croke Park on September 29th. What an inspiration for our young primary school beginners! If things don't go your way, punch and kick your way through it.
We condemn hooliganism on the streets of our towns and cities, but how futile this condemnation is when top exponents of our national game can give a display never before seen on our screens and transmitted world wide - and this from "mature" young men! As for the TV commentators - excuses for the tension and emotion of playing in an All Ireland Final - it's time they dropped the platitudes and did some real talking. - Yours, etc.,
Clones,
Co, Monaghan.
