Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

Agree, it was a sly move by Irish Life to glean some free advertising via the various media outlets and the reaction to it is probably what they hoped for.
There are a few Sam McGuires doing the rounds, so they will have one of those.

So breath in easy and see behind the free marketing ploy!

Clever, sly, coincidental, naive, unfortunate! Personally, I'd call it "what it says on the tin"! Conference. GAA Related. Health Initiative. Presence of PM as one of the speakers. Presence of Sam Maguire on behalf of the fact they have invested 1 million into the Organisation. Simples!

Call it what you want!!

But, yes, it worked a bloody treat!

It isn't PM who agreed to bring anything!!!

There are other GAA speakers there as well, there has been a few of these conferences since August and Irish Life has invested over a million into this GAA initiative last year, thereby granting them clearly some sort of right to have the cup in their possession for the conferences. The conference had been scheduled for that date before the final had been played and its just unfortunate now that its taking place is coinciding with the aftermath of the replay.

It is nothing to do with PM, he is there as a speaker, he does this regularly for different initiatives.
he is not anything to do with bringing in the cup.
The cup is there on behalf of the GAA who have received massive funding from Irish Life so it is fair game that they could have it fo a few hours. Would you honestly begrudge them that, given the intention of the conference.

Come on people, this is ridiculous conspiracy theoried, paronoid, inferiority complexed thinking. The media has trolled you and you have fallen for it!

So what in gods name is it!!! Are you begrudging the presence of a cup at a conference that is promoting health in the GAA from a firm who has invested a seven figure sum into same GAA!!

Where in my 2 posts on this topic did i display any anger? You're the one all excited throwing exclamation marks all over the place.

Philly is appearing two days after the All Ireland Final Replay with Sam at an event. I can understand your efforts to make this look less presumptuous than it is.

What is the protocol anyway WHEN Mayo win the trophy. Is it officially in the possession of the Mayo County Board until next May or does it still hover around with the GAA effectively holding possession of it??

65 years is a long time! I can see some frustrated old Mayo Man doing a Jules Rimet on it after all the years of hurt!

Pity Andy Aidan or Cillian didn't draw a few boxes on McMahon and Cooper in th drawn game to "highlight" their tight marking
It's beyond a joke that Keegan is being absolutely vilified for a shirt pull whilst connollys punches are just ignored
Anyway more motivation if anymore is needed to drive this home
I'm raging anyway !

The Dublin media/ex players is really going all out on the anti Keegan PR. No mention of the continuous thuggish behaviour of connolly or mcmahon.

If people want to bury their head in the sand then so be it, Keegan does try to always bring it down to a level against Connolly. Connolly due to his temperment joins him down there. They cancel each other out so. If people read the full article and not just the headline, the point he is making is that Keegan may actually be more useful to Mayo playing football and he is right

You are correct of course, the headline is not representative of anything he said. He never made any call on Deegan or any other official to keep an eye on Keegan in the replay.

The Independent is a rag though. Another case of a journalist putting words in someone's mouth, effectively the journalist trying to create a story that might influence a referee. Brutal stuff.

No he's not he has Connolly in his pocket for how many games now you seen the damage he can do when not man marked against Kerry.

Keegan MIGHT get you 2/3 points in a game going forward but an unmarshalled Connolly has the potential to run riot against any team in the country. The needs justify the means.

Keep up the good work, Lee. Always enjoy his marking when watching the game, it's text book tight marking.

naughto · 27-09-2016 11:57AM

Any one else surprised that the Galway manager Walshe got another 3 yrs in charge never rated him as a manager to be honest.

I think the point is he doesnt have to resort to the levels he does. But i guess it is with huge respect that Mayo and Keegan have for Connolly that he goes down that road

What levels would these be ? Pulling a shirt ?
Give me a break. Put s camera on McMahon and Cooper the next day. I'd say they stand off their men all game

yop · 27-09-2016 12:22PM

Its quite laughable at this stage. We had hill-gate first where Hill16 were calling on the Dubs to take back the hills BS with tickets going to Mayo unfairly, then we had pitch gate where there was too much water on the pitch and Rock was slipping and it effected his free taken, now we have Keegan (gate doesn't suit!) where he seems to be the only man on the pitch who is been singled out. Odd when there are least another 4 or 5 who carry on the same way.

At the end of the day Mayo are only going up to make up the numbers and are given no chance, so Dublin expected to win it handy. Not sure why they are stressing out over hill/pitch/Keegan!

Strange isn't it?

Ah right ok, poor old innocent Lee

Why are they always picking on me

I know all supporters will be biased but if fans cant acknowledge what he does to stop Connolly is not by the book then they really are very naiive

Just about deserves it I think.
Can't help feeling it's mainly because of a lack of credible alternatives.

He can't afford any more "rabbit in the headlights" performances in what's going to be a fairly competitive Division 2 in the new year.

Promotion and an encouraging championship campaign will be expected.

The reason why Keegan gets singled out is because he is consistent in what he does. No?

Poor Diarmuid. Only saw one of Keegan/Connolly throwing punches the last day. Which one was it?
