@sirpeter read today's INDO and you will feel quite foolish. Let me give you some unsolicited good advice from the 16th President of the USA: "Better to be quiet and thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt". My experience with GAA players is that the rougher they are on the field, the more gentleman-like they are off it. In the US, professional athletes are coddled from an early age and have a distorted sense of entitlement; that GAA players have to go back to real jobs on Monday morning might explain their humility. Sadly, you have given wounded kneecaps ammo in your little war; don't worry though, he'd paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa.

Hmmmmm..Question is...Did they both have swipe cards? Husband and Wife enter restaurant...They order tea..Honeymoon heightens tension between couple..She says something and storms off back to the room...He gets up and slowly follows her..She swipes her card...3.42pm ..He swipes his card 3.44pm..Strangles her and goes back down to the restaurant and makes sure people see him..Everything is still there – money, jewels, laptop. Nothing is missing..Now what thief murders someone and not compleats their main mission...To steal..A thiefs mission is to steal not murder..Unlikely a thief will murder unless his life is in danger..It has to be a man..A woman is incapable of strangling unless she is Big Berta.Hmmm Sports guys are known to be highly aggressive..O.J *cough*...I'm not saying anything...Everyone is innocent,especially if the glove doesn't fit.

To murphy66: You sound like a really nice funny guy. I hope nothing ever happens to someone you love. In the meantime, put yourself on the list for a heart because it seems you could use one where the original was supposed to be.

As a former GAA player and a great admirer of what Mickey Harte achieved for Tyrone, I too offer my sympathies and condolences to him and his family. This is an unspeakable tragedy for Michaela’s husband and Mickey & his family. Latest reports suggest that it was a hotel staff member who Michaela found rifling their room that killed her. May he or she meet their justice and God rest the soul of Micheala and comfort her husband and family.

murphy66 Don't add to a man's grief by implying that the husband is guilty. Until it's proved to the contrary, this is a man who must be totally devastated. Michaela was a beautiful, bubbly girl. This is just so sad and tragic.
