They're just not the usual crew and people find that hard to deal with. Picking Keegan ahead of say Harrison for example. Keegan didn't win a ball, make a tackle or do anything of note in the final. Had SOS not bailed him out twice the consensus would be he was man shamed by Connolly. Instead he's taken credit for non existent work. If we're honest POTY is as much popularity contest as it is merit based award. Cooper, Fenton, Small & McMahon for Dublin. Andy Moran has been stand out in every game for Mayo.

You must remember that not only is Connolly the forward but "one of the greatest forwards of all time" I'm presuming people who praise Cowpie so highly only watch Leinster Championship matches because he does the square root of **** all in big matches. I'd stick Barrett or Vaughan on him for the replay and send Keegan up to kick 4 or 5 points.

One hears constantly of the wish Mayo folk most especially of a mature vintage dying happy if we can climb Everest once.I concur,as a county a victory next Saturday would result in an unprecedented outbreak of joyous emotions. The weird thing about it is I really think we've a fighting chance of coming out of the right side.

That's what should be happening. Its what Keegan excels at and where he'd do most damage. Until someone points me toward tangible evidence of great defending (blocks, tackles, tight marking) this year I'll still maintain he's getting undeserved praise. Dublin and Tipp games he's been average to poor and yet there's talk of All Stars and even POTY. As I say nothing against Keegan...just don't get it.

Perhaps it is the most clever piece of fundraising marketing ever considering the way its tunnelling around social media at the moment! Also, MKcMahon is a speaker at the event, hence is picture. Absolutely nothing to do with the Sam Maguire photo

The Talking Bread wrote: » listen to yourself!!!! Its others that are spinning it in an anti Dublin sort of way! It is the HSE running a conference where McMahon is one of the speakers. It is not organised in any way by Dublin team, fans or a group of anti Mayo supremacists. McMahon gives a lot of these sort of speaches it seems about mental health and drug addiction as his own brother died a drug addict. Are people that naive to think this is an arrogant agenda setting platform against Mayo fans! Ps, I am shouting from Mayo, my allegiance lies with them but the reactions and paronia and reading into about this are verging on stupid! Yes they could have put a Mayo player on it but if there is no Mayo player going to be there speaking, whats the point???? Take it up with these guys, I am sure they will all be on the Hill next Saturday, Coppers until early hours and heading to The Boars Head to sing and dance with the Dubs!http://www.hse.ie/healthandwellbeing/
