Glenullin had the better of the first half in horrendous conditions, wind and rainmaking the pitch difficult for both teams, the Mitchel's ahead 0-06 to 0-04 at the break.
When he stepped out on to the turf to warm-up and saw heavy rainmaking the pitch increasingly treacherous, he could have been forgiven for wishing Robinson - who was not even on the bench - had not been so unceremoniously dumped.
The king's charisma, intelligence, talents (from playing the saxophone to rain-making, a science in which he holds a European patent) and deep concern for his people's welfare make him adored at home and admired around the world.
