Unreal. I knew they were young but there is no one better to look up to. I hope they do the business now as it would only be right that a player like Keegan who will always do what is necessary, gets an all Ireland medal.

A town the size of Westport really should be operating at senior level though, I hope they can keep this group of players together and achieve that.

Mitchels dropping to intermediate was just the kick in the arse they needed to get their act together, hopefully this is the start of something similar for Westport.

I think they lost a SF rather than a Final.

Didn't Kiltane lose a final as well a few years back?

Kilmeena lost an all ireland junior v nobber of meath in 03 by 3 points I think.

I'd be expecting great things not too long in to the future from this Westport team including a senior county title if they can keep the current group of players on board.

I've double checked and they did indeed lose the 2014 Intermediate final to Truagh from Monaghan. Back when Tommy Goals was on top form, he's been absolutely cursed with injuries since unfortunately.

They sure know how to hype a game up... Connacht giants:) sounds like something from the times of Fionn MacCumhaill!So what does that make Monaghan?God knows what levels of hyperbole they'll come up with when it comes to the All Ireland champion's first televised game!

Any replay of the game post Saturday?

anyone hear the rumour that they are changing the way season tickets work.

you wont be able to scan your tickets but you have to pick up a ticket from a ticket office/van?

How does that work sure it has to be scanned to get the attendance percentage on computer

Can't they scan it in the ticket truck.

That would be SERIOUSLY annoying
And make no sense
Castlebar had scanners put in for example

Just spotted on the Donegal thread that we played them in a challenge match at the Sligo centre of excellence.

Mayo 0-13 Donegal 1-11

Michael Murphy scored the goal in the first half,no idea as yet what sort of team lined out.

So Brady is going to manage Mayo to an All Ireland.

I wouldn't put it past him to be honest. I like reading his stuff and he was a proper footballer too imo

He used to be involved with the Stephenites in the past,is he involved in any fashion with Castleknock??His experience in management would be questionable I'd imagine.

I say the same on a daily basis. I've as much chance as him! Though he didn't say if it was GAA or pie eating.

He was a selector with Castleknock in 2015 when Enda Murphy was the manager.

I could be wrong here, but I seem to recall a brother of his managed John Mitchells from Lancashire that lost to Brosna of Kerry in the AI junior final 2015.

Lost 2 kids attendances last year going through mchale turnstiles.
There's me and 2 kids and the only thing I can think of, as I was careful to wait for the green light to come back on after each child went through, is in future to wait a bit longer between scanning each season ticket. There must be a delay in the system, maby as a load of people go through the turnstiles together where the scanner light is green, but the system is not really ready to scan the next ticket due to processing overload.

Mustn't have upgraded the system to a pentium chip yet

Havnt recieved any email notification from hq about changing the system to a truck scanner. That would seem like a step backwards, unless they were inundated by emails about attendances not being logged at mchale. At least with a ticket from the truck there would be proof of attendance that couldn't be argued should the truck scanner blip.

How many of those losses were against Kerry clubs?

The system Kerry implement make it very unfair on teams from other counties as regards the All Ireland club series for junior and intermediate levels.

They basically have Senior standard clubs competing at Intermediate and Intermediate level clubs at Junior.

Well. It is good to see that Kerry share some of Dublin's fault for Mayo not winning things.

So is it fair that an entire town with 30k people - Castlebar - get to have one club :-)

Part of Dublin I am in has six senior clubs at football and/or hurling within 4 mile radius. One of them has won All Irelands.

Castlebar do have too big a pick, I don't disagree. They aren't alone on that front, but in reality that is a completely different argument.

The last line of your post illustrates that you don't understand the point. The Kerry system wont have an affect at senior, but it will affect the lower grades. Has it not occurred to you that kerry teams seem to always be contesting and generally winning junior and intermediate all Irelands far more than at senior? Similarly, has it not occurred to you that this isn't just affecting mayo clubs, it is every club at that level?

These lads are giving up their time the same as any other gaa player. It isn't so much to ask that they get a fair crack of things when they get to all Ireland level - somewhere they probably wont get to be again in their lives. Rather than having one county board purposely loading the competition with teams who shouldn't be there and basically cheating everyone else out of it.

Your response is a pretty childish way of thinking to be honest with you.

Bonniedog · 02-02-2017 04:01PM

I was being facetious. Fact that Castlebar has big population is not guarantee of success. It might be down to level of training and the club culture. Lots of small clubs have done well.

A) Again, an unrelated point.

They are very successful.

Anyway, you are talking about Mayo instead of Dublin.

This is good.

You are still talking about the poster's county as opposed to the poster's comment.

That is bad.

You have 922 posts, and probably 900 are about Dublin.

That is sad, not bad
