He’s very selective in his outrage and pontification. I look forward to his views on adultery and family abandonment.

Are you implying Brolly has been grazing under the wire ?

Do tell.

Great honour for Andy Moran,he has been nominated for RTE sports person of the year.

Link to income and expenditure (inclusive of the team holiday to South Africa) for 2017,nice to see an increased surplus on the previous year.The expenditure figure is pretty staggering,is it sustainable?

The monies spent on the under 21,minor,junior and hurling teams appear paltry in comparison to the senior team.

In a county as large and predominantly rurally populated as Mayo the high expenditure for travel expenses is no surprise most especially taking into account all those overnight trips to Croker.Twas quite an odyssey this year though the back door increasing same expenditure.

I like this one best of that selection

Audioslaven · 13-12-2017 10:28PM

When does the GAA transfers happen? I hear a new recruit on the way for Mitchels.

Usually go through at the start of the year. Recruit from inside or outside the county?

Heard this as well new shoes for all the team!

boosabum · 14-12-2017 11:43AM

Great news, the 3 in a row champions getting another intercounty standard player to help their dominance

I wasn't going to name anyone, but this has been going around for over two years but I hear its happening now.

This is never good when you see someone leave their childhood club and go to another club. I don't know any player that this worked out for from an inter county perspective. Bad bad move. If he was working in the far side of the country then that's different but a few KM up the road!!!!

I remember watching the McDonald interview and how he said he loved his club. The rumours about him leaving and going to clubs in Meath etc down the years but there was only one club for him. It wasn't about anything else except playing ball for the club and winning/losing with his team mates. This is what makes a guy like him extra special considering the talent he has.

statto25 · 14-12-2017 01:55PM

It might be just sh1tetalk. There were rumors of another player moving to Mitchels when their team was relegated last year and it never happened.

EXCLUSIVE: @mayonewssport can confirm that @MayoGAA footballer Donal Vaughan will be playing with @MitchelsGaa next season after transferring from @ballinrobegaa https://t.co/HqIIPs6NNy #mayogaa #GAA https://t.co/exlKrpjbY0

BREAKING: Former @MayoGAA manager James Horan is understood to have been ratified as the new manager of the @westportgaa senior club football team tonight. It is believed to be for a 3-year term. #mayogaa #GAA https://t.co/8tVGnWKMMz

It is a strange one. Maybe Mitchels are looking for that missing link after losing to Corofin again this year and approached him. Shame for Ballinrobe to lose their best player after being relegated in the hope of going back up.

Bunny Colvin · 15-12-2017 12:37AM

Very strange. I could understand if he transferred to a club outside of the county. But Ballinrobe and Castlebar are hardly that far apart.

That is brilliant for westport and Horan. He will drive them on and who knows ...Mayo champions next year.

He wants a medal and he feels his best bet is with Castlebar... I don't think he played much for Ballinrobe last year anyway.

Oldtree · 15-12-2017 02:01AM

He has a shop.in castlebar now too so maby he is going to settle down there.

Exactly. He’s leaving just when they need him most. If the 2 clubs were at opposite ends of the county I’d understand it.

Wasn't there talk of McDonald moving to Shrule back in the early 00's? Found this article https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/mcdonald-set-for-transfer-uturn-26050248.html

Either way seems a strange move to go from Ballinrobe to Castlebar when they are so close geographically, but as others have said maybe he sees it as his best chance to get some silverware. Im sure some of the Ballinrobe people wont be too happy about it though.

Will be interesting to see how it works out.

He came to shrule for a weekend drinking and went back!
That was as far as that one went

jr86 · 15-12-2017 10:05AM

This doesn't sit right with me at all

Look I'm sure there's stuff going on behind the scenes but Ballinrobe made him the player he is. You can't choose your club and all that... If you want silverwear go out and win an intermediate county title next Autumn with the lads you grew up with

Lets call a spade a spade here, if this was in Dublin there'd be absolute uproar. I know of a player in galway a few years back who actually lived in Dublin and joined a top team up there and was pretty much ostracised back home. That's how much club means to a lot of people
