He'd be a terrible loss.

An outstanding prospect.

Its reported in the independent as well.

Surely the county board can swing a job?

Or as the Kerry county board rightfully did, invent paid positions for them to train youths throughout the country.
Funding would be useful for that . Now does anybody know someone willing to throw 1 million + at Mayo Gaa.

The county board might not be able too but i am sure Tim might have been able sort him out with something had he not got the boot.


Joking aside even if they can its always down to the young fella, Moving to Oz to play pro football is always going to be a pull for young lads. McShane was different as he was never going to make it over there he was too old to be going out. Ruane would be same as McShane in my opinion.
What sort of job could you offer him with a long term safe future for him? He would have no qualifications to get anything big. If he went to oz and after two years it didnt work out hes still plenty young enough come home and go to college

Padraig O Hora is still flying it in that Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week.

I wonder would he be tempted back. We can't tackle at all since he left.

I wonder .......

I'll drive him up and down to training myself

It was Horan who first brought Buckley to Mayo, and Buckley has not been involved since Horan came back so maybe they will reunite.

Wonder what the reasoning is behind this.

It's probably wishful thinking, but it would be great to get him back. I think his absence has been felt.

Great win for St. Gerald's today winning the Connacht Post Primary A final.

St. Gerald's College Castlebar 1-13
Summerville Sligo 0-10

It's probably he has some personal issue that he needs to leave or else he has had a run in with Keane or someone in the backroom team.
He really was terrific for us and either way I wish him well whatever the reason is.

The Examiner reported today that he was asked to leave. So I'd surmise that he has had a big run-in with somebody..

Word on the wire is that Keane didnt want him in the first place and the was told by the CB that Donie was to be involved. If they didnt have a working relationship it was never going to last. Huge loss and I'd say any hope we had of an All Ireland this year are gone with him. Wish him well whatever he does next.

The League is now in a direct race with the Virus, if it multiplies exponentially in the next week, then the playing of the Galway match is in doubt, I'd extrapolate that the Tyrone match is almost certainly not going to happen. We're in virgin territory here. Sport could become the least of worries.

what the hell? there are no fixtures in doubt and if anything by the time of the tyrone game in round 7 the hyperbole of a virus no worse then a common flue will have died down considerably

I always get the impression that Keane is stubborn and does not like when he is asked questions that have a critical undertone to them... he gets very narky.
This will be some counties gain for sure.

It's a pity. I thought he could have really brought out the best in that panel and himself..

More talk about Buckley here than on the Kerry thread

Not a whole pile to say really. I'd imagine the general feeling is disappointment. He might head back to Mayo yet.

That's what a lot of Mayo folks are hoping for, but right now there is nothing to suggest it will or will not happen.

Rumour I heard is that he has a new full time job in UL & he won't be going anywhere.

We might make it through the league ok, but I'd say the championship could be at risk. The covid thing isn't expected to peak here until summer. If the numbers have grown significantly by then, we might be looking at a short enough summer, championship wise.

There's got to be a real live possibility that league games will fall foul to the Covid 19 virus.

Common sense call given the lack of wisdom in congregating large crowds of people in close proximity to each other.

No surprise the St. Patrick's Day parades were cancelled nationwide given the public health concerns.

PressRun

Not sure how impactful cancelling the parades is going to be given the pubs will likely all still be open, but how and ever.

Any ideas on what would likely happen with the league if large gatherings are banned?

Barlett

There will be an announcement about mass gatherings tomorrow, I would expect any events with an attendance of 5k plus will be banned. I don’t think the match on Sunday will go ahead .
