THROWBACK THURSDAY: In 2005, Tyrone and Armagh played out a memorable draw in an Ulster final played in front of more than 60 thousand enthralled spectators at Croke Park. Stephen O’Neill won the man of the match award for one of the best ever performances in an Ulster final, lofting over ten points. Do you spot any familar faces in the crowd? Armagh won the replay but Tyrone more than made amends with a famous victory in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final later that summer before overcoming Kerry in a thrilling All-Ireland final.

A hundred years ago when I was teaching English to GCSE students one of the poems they were expected to have studied was ‘Warning’ by Jenny Joseph. In the poem the author ‘warns’ those reading it that the older she becomes the more outrageous her behaviour will become and that she will do he...
