Given all the travelling that's needed to fulfill his Mayo obligations as well as pursuing a degree (perhaps even working part-time also?) it's a heavy burden on a young man How many training sessions would he currently have a week, also? At the end of the day Stephen Coen is one of 30-something in the Mayo squad, it's extremely difficult to manage each individual player's schedule to the nth degree in a non-professional environment

Arrests, public trials and boycotts of the GAA were called for. Then when the video evidence comes out and the challenge wasn't a swinging fist to the jaw but accidental contact with the shoulder to the jaw it was "time to wrap up this conversation, I'm right and you are all wrong". Like a 5 year old. Pathetic. Just sack up and admit you called it wrong, instead of deleting comments to make your blog look better! /rantover (Sorry!)

It can be a real eye sore to read, also let's just say that the moderating is heavy handed. Agreed though, there's an awful lot of tools commenting online. You'd never find that here, ever!
jr86 wrote: » Agree, I never go on facebook anymore really but got tagged in some nonsense after the match last sunday Some of the comments from Galway people I know actually beggared belief. Well educated people aswell, engaging in absolute juvenile points scoring There must be something about going on these pages that causes some people's intelligence and common sense to drop an alarming amount. That said a lot of the comments on the Mayo blog aswell are embarrassing, so I'm not directing this at a particular county. Assume it's kids/teenagers in a lot of these cases too though? As you say life is way too short. Twitter is even worse though. there's a worrying amount of unhinged people on it. I think a lot of these anonymous accounts you see on it are complete spoof-jobs though Anyhow I'm veering wayyy off topic apologies

It's absolutely crazy the amount of football the likes of Stephen Coen are playing.It's very difficult to make a big impression in league football with these type of commitments. Conor Loftus and Danny Kirby bowed out post DIT's semi final loss this week.
