The Mayo boys washing their dirty linen out in public again.Will they ever learn?

If Clarke has any self respect, he should f**k off and have nothing to do with that outfit.

Clarke has retired.

As for the boys, It would have looked far better for them if they had kept their mouth shut. They should never have got the job in the first place.
No doubt there are one or two players who have an ego but that is the case in every county. Hopefully the players dont repsond to this rubbish.

"Hennely has the more suitable skill set to the modern style of goalkeeping"
He really proved that in the replay
Please tell me ur having a laugh!

No he didn't prove it in the replay, but then that is working off the assumption that every player plays to their best all the time. And if you believe that then you would believe anything. Did cluxton prove he is the best keeper ever in the semi final? Far from it. Glib comments like that are helpful to nobody, particularly your own argument.

I wouldn't have picked him and I believe it was a mistake, but I don't believe that it was such a crazy move when it is considered as regards the opposition and their style, particularly after what happened at the end of the first game. We are rabbiting on all year about this great horses for courses approach that we employed, and selecting men to suit the job, so why is it such a stretch to assume he did it for our goalkeeper too?

It just didn't work, but then everything else worked all year, he was probably due one not going to plan.

Are you sure? He was present at the latest county team meet up over the last week or so.

charlie1980 · 20-12-2016 04:33PM

Yeah,yeah, yeah.I have heard it all before.

I will tell you whats going to happen.

This Mayo team will self destruct now and the gobsho1te Roachford will take the fall.

Does it not beg the question that if tactics and player match up were such a problem for the players under H&C why they didn`t appear to be a problem under Horan to the same extent ?
It`s not as if Horan was blameless in either during his reign.

What does any of it have to do with Horan? How many times does it need to be said in this thread that Horan didn't get things right? And I've already made the point twice that there's a reason problems emerged under H&C and not under Horan and anyone with their ear to the ground will know why. The bottom line anyway is that it's not for Holmes and Connelly to pass comment on how players felt about Horan (and I'd seriously question their version of events on that) or to cast aspersions on the current management. It's undermining and frankly none of their business what Stephen Rochford is doing as manager given they're not part of the set up anymore. As John Fogarty said in the Examiner today, the interview is sabotage being dressed up as concern for Mayo football.

He also attended fitness tests a couple of weeks ago.

I hear mammy O'Shea will be playin in goal next year
Some of the players are er..... lobbying for her!!!!!

The question that hasn't been answered on here is who changed the goalie for the replay?
If Rochford was forced into it then he has no business being mayo manager in my view. He should resign immediately.

I'm assuming it was the manager
I've no reason to assume otherwise
Nobody on here knows any different

That's as good an answer as you will get on an anonymous Internet forum unless Rochford Clarke or hennelly decide to post

Happy Xmas

What calls went their way though? The AOS penalty? The guy was being fouled before the ball was kicked anyway, plus they won by more than 3 points anyway. So, what are these calls? Because I can rattle off some genuine calls that were the difference in winning and losing, that were wrong and went against mayo.

Shush lad, Keegan stayed on the pitch for the full game, that's enough. Lane was so panicked he was blowing up on demand for for Cillians scores, McCarthys black card for Cillian's swan dive. Swings and roundabouts, lots of them. You'll only see the roundabouts though.

Only for this...Only for that..Only for the other...

Still doesn`t answer the question that if tactics and player match ups were so big a problem with the players that they wanted H&C gone, why was it not a problem under Horan, when the same were obvious on quite a number of occasions in big games under his management ?

Did Horan perhaps have the same accusations from the players and decided enough was enough.

No Horan didnt.
You have no idea what has gone on and neither do i. There might not have been one big thing that happened for them to want the two lads gone. It could be a million different tiny things that contributed to it.
Who gives a fu ck.

As you say, neither of us know, but weren`t tactics and player match ups given as the main reasons the players wanted H&C gone.

I imagine H&C give a fcuk though seeing as it was also evident in Horan`s time.

What is going to happen next year and what will we all be writing.

Some senarios

1. "Egos" kept on and Mayo win league.

SR would be up their with Holmes \ Daly in winning a national title. Anti "Egos" would have to admit that "egos" actually delivered something of consequence. Not the promised land of an All Ireland but not to be sniffed at as would only be 3rd in 65+ years. Pro "Egos" would be over the moon and saying this best mayo team ever and win was way better than previous win (when Holmes manager) for all sorts of reasons.

2. "Egos" kept on and Mayo dont win league. Pro "Egos" would say league does no matter SR and squad concentrating on the All Ireland. SR using league to blood \ find (that dammed elusive) extra forward we are always missing. Anti "Egos" will say no surprise there.

3. "Egos" kept on and Mayo win all Ireland. Anti "egos" will have to hang their heads in shame at having been so wrong about "Egos" and will have to consider leaving county \ country. They will have to promise to never again post on this site. They will have to admit they are the dumbest, most vindictive, spiteful, hateful etc etc etc posters to have ever graced a social media site.

The pro "egos" will have been vindicated. They will have demonstrated their intelligence, knowledge, ability to sniff out the most pristine of characters. The will be minor gods (The "egos" will be the major gods and the pro "egos" will be happy with this). They will be invited to become panelists on the Sunday Game as current ones know nothing as they said in 2016 that Mayo will not win an All Ireland in next few years.

4. "Egos" kept on and Mayo dont win all ireland. Anti "Egos" will say no surprise here we told you what problem was last year. Mayo never learn etc etc

Pro "Egos" will say Referee bias, media unfairness, horrible behavoir by opposition, SR got tactics wrong, H &C to blame for upsetting players before start of season, missing one good forward etc etc.

I will return to this post after the league and next December.

This board will still be here probably with 30,000 posts

Keegan was given a black card in the replay for a non-black card offence. I don't see how you can try to argue that as a negative for your own county.

If lane had blown on bastick, like he should have, then Dublin would have lost the game, so crowing about the ref blowing on things is a bit rich.

As for McCarthy; nailed on black card for a deliberate third man tackle. He clearly ran into O'Connor to block him tracking Kilkenny. It was a cynical act and well done to the ref for acting on it.

So again, I ask for these game changing things that went mayos way. So far you have come up with zero.

Indeed. As for putting it in inverted commas and repeating it in every sentence- is it a joke or an attempt to sound smart that Im just not getting?

Maybe you can enlighten us "Robeman"?

Oh go on, I'll bite.

Cooper charged in the back just after the goal. The action was deliberate, unprovoked and dangerous. Every single official looking directly at it. No doubt about who did it. No action whatsoever taken.

Cooper black carded about a minute later, the previous event clearly still on his mind.

I'm pretty sure he got a yellow card for that tackle.

seligehgit · 20-12-2016 07:10PM

Anyhow anybody care to offer any suggestions as to any new faces that we're likely to see in action come the FBD league?

Hoping to see some of last year's crop of All Ireland under 21 winners...

Matthew Flanagan,David Kenny,Stephen Coen from what I recall saw action last year and I'd love to see Seamus Cunniffe,Michael Plunkett,Shairoze Akram,Brian Reape and most especially Matthew Ruane get some game time.

I am sure Michael Hall will see some game time. Conor Loftus is certainly the other stand out member of the team alongside Matthew Ruane.

Flannagan looked solid between the sticks I thought last year below in Ballina against Sligo IT. Would like to see those lads you named get a run out myself.

Have heard Brian Reape will be involved. To what extent, I don't know. Could see Stephen Coen playing a more prominent role this year too.
