The Evening Herald stable of sportwriters....

.... must have all got their photos taken at 7 a.m. after a particularly heavy night on the batter. How else to explain Hyland's amazingly baggy eyes and Fitzmaurice's Vlad the Drac vibe in their picture bylines? And the GAa guy (Niall Crowley?) models a fine mullet and trout pout combo, or possibly was photographed in the middle of a gale?

The thing is, you would think these photos would be chosen by the lads with care. And that they might be the most flattering ones of them available. The scary thing is, they probably are.
