After a failure to win from 10 attempts we need to start thinking outside the box.

Seeing as you have been thinking about this for months, outline your set of proposed changes please. Thanking you in advance

It would be impolite not to turn up and at least in Mayo we will always be polite and turn up. I have supported Mayo through thin and thin all my life. There has never been any thick.

Maybe if more supporters had my attitude things would change and next time we would win. Maybe a half empty stadium would be a good thing long term and would show "the egos" in the team and county board that we are pissed off and want change and that we are fed up always losing. We need to stop being gallant losers. As supporters we need to stop giving unquestioning adoration to the team. If the "little emperors" have no cloths we need to say so.

You are right I am being negative but I have an aweful lot to be negative about. I want Mayo to be winners not losers. I want a panel who play for the team and not themselves, I want strong capable team management, I want a supportive competent county board, I want to see Mayo win an all ireland before I die. Maybe I am unreasonable

We need to change.

Chokers don't keep coming back time and time again.
Other Mayo teams could be accused of being chokers but not this incarnation that's been on the go sice 2011. They're the antithesis to bottlers, and to say otherwise is clichÃ©d.

When have Mayo ever been arrogant?

They are no more or less arrogant than every other top county.

Bottler is a synonym for a person or group prone to unexpected failure.

Bottler
In footballing terms the word bottler refers to a player who initially plays well but makes a huge mistake or lets the team down when it really matters. i.e missing a penalty, missing an easy chance, losing your temper and getting sent off.

You can also refer to football teams as bottlers. For example Aston Villa are well known as bottlers because they seem to always be in good form at the beginning of the season but towards the end they lose this form and end up missing out on Champions League football, despite looking like they could be the best side in the premiership at the beginning of the season.
Eugene Dadi is such a bottler, what an awful penalty that was.

Liverpool are such bottlers this season.

Very apt given what happened today.

The most county I look at with envy and admire is Offaly population 78,000 compared to our 130,000. Since 1971 they have managed to win 3 football all irelands and 4 hurling. Why can we not even manage 1 in Football. What in gods name is wrong with us.

A successful county by any standard.

Please, just stop. It's extremely boring. I'd rather the thread wasn't clogged with your inane ramblings.

Would you like to withdraw this remark following what happened today as it seems that I got it right.

Offaly are completely ****e these days and haven't been in contention for even provincial honours for about ten years and it'll be a long time before they are in genuine contention again.

I'm not a mayo supporter and neither should anyone be calling for anyone to be sacked. He just made a serious error of judgement. This team can win an all Ireland. I'd say they'll win one before Rory Gallagher s Team will win one

Rory Gallagher is a sh1te manager that shouldn`t be left in charge of a junior clubs under 12s, but still no need for the dig.
If you scroll back through what I said you will find that post was irony and my opinions exactly mirrors your own.

Gutted...

So many things went wrong for Mayo today yet we still only lost by a point.

The defence looked knackered from about 50 mins onwards....the three Dublin subs killed us. Much as I hate to say it, MDMA was the game winner imho. Some very damaging forays into the back line.

01-10-2016 11:12PM

Three points from play from our forwards today, not good enough. Is there nobody in the county better ?? Surely there is some of the U21 forwards better than these ?

They are letting the rest of the team down time and time again.

km79 · 01-10-2016 11:12PM

the ignore list is growing ever longer

I heard O'Connor and O'Shea are running the show and told Dillon to jog on. Stephen Rochford couldn't do anything about it cos he has no man management skills. It's anarchy over there. Don't shoot the messenger.

Given what happened today you definitely have a good source in the camp.

scrawnyass · 01-10-2016 11:35PM

As a Clareman I thought Id never see us win an All Ireland(hurling).We had Biddy Earleys curse. Trust me , its only a matter of time before Mayo win one again..Keep the faith.Always keep the faith.

Clarke has the goalkeeper spot well wrapped up.

I and everyone else in the country thought the same. We all forgot to factor in the "egos" looking after each other.

Read a interesting stat the other day. David Clarke has never lost a championship game to Dublin. Played 06, 2012 and the last day against Dublin.

This is no longer a stat thanks to the "egos"

Spit it out. Are you saying that Hennelly only played due to the O'Sheas influence ?

MaroonAndGreen · 01-10-2016 11:47PM

Devastated. But you know what, I think the Rochford criticism is over the top. Obviously the call was kick out related. Hennelly certainly has a better kick out than Clarke, okay maybe it didn't work out on the day, but how are people so narrow minded on this?

Rumours sometimes turn out to be true. There are a lot of true rumours in Mayo this past year.

Mayo people nerd to take off the blinkers and see what's really happening in the camp. (and has been happening for many years);)

Hennelly nowhere near Clarke when it comes to shot stopping or under the high ball. What you want in your keeper. Absolutely baffling.

Not baffling at all. Did you hear the rumour about who organised the venue for the coup against Connelly and Holmes ?

Robeman · 01-10-2016 11:57PM

The Talking Bread wrote: »

I am well aware, I would be pro Clarke. But we haven't seen Hennelly since his bad kick against Galway which led to the goal and he is clearly doing something in training to convince them to make such a huge call.

Training sessions had nothing to do with it. "Egos" and weak manager more likely

Poor Hennelly.
He'll probably need to phone the Sam-aritans.

He will hopefully organise the meeting venue.
