ROBIN LIVINGSTONE: Wordcount wizards know how it's done

WHEN I say journalists write some shite, trust me - I know that of which I speak. What bricklayer hasn't walked past a wall he laid ten years ago and winced a little at the thought of how much better a job he'd do now? What teacher hasn't read a newspaper report of wee Johnnie getting sent back to Maghaberry and wished he'd spent more time with him instead of putting him in the Mooners first chance he got? We can't always be on our A-game and the most effective way we have of coming to terms with thatlamentable fact of life is to try to do better next time.

Andytown favourite Tyrone McKenna is due to fight on the much anticipated Katie Taylor card in Croke Park on September 5th. Talking at the undercard press conference on Tuesday McKenna had the audience briefly stunned as he admitted that it ‘had never been his dream to fight in Croke Park’ but smartly ‘because it was simply beyond the realms of possibility’.

Three or four fights have fallen through for the West Belfast man this year already and with zero expectations on being asked to fight on this card felt like ‘Christmas come early’.
