    That's neither a particularly clear statement (for instance, do you mean that you personally do not buy the Sun newspaper, or that you do not believe that people ought to buy the Sun newspaper, or that people should not buy the sun itself?) nor a particularly helpful/interesting one (of the three interpretations I can think of, none of them address the OP's post in any meaningful way). I'm guessing from your postcount that you're new here and so may not be familiar with the general rules on boards.ie. Replies such as the one I have quoted are tolerated to some extent in specific sections such as After Hours, but in most other fora a little more effort is expected.

    Regarding the original question, I didn't follow the strip myself but I do think it's a bit of a shame that it marks the decline of serialised sport comics. I remember reading old comic annuals as a kid that managed to make golf (golf!) an exciting sport to read about, along with soccer, cricket, and running amongst others...

    It looks like it's been canned.

    Shame as I used to follow it as well. Those 'viral emails' that replaced it are dire.
