Delegates at the lgfa co.board meeting unanimously voted this club out of all remaining senior league and club matches for 2018 as it was deemed the club had brought the game/lgfa/co.board into disrepute over withdrawal of 8 of their players from the Mayo senor panel this year and not following procedures.
Apparently there was a huge majority vote in favour of this by delegates.
This club now have the right to appeal this decision but it really does leave a sour taste over ladies football in Mayo.

What a shocking demise to Cora Staunton's glittering football career.

Could you really see mchale leaving mcstays side? I seriously doubt it. I think we would see another player revolt if he got involved.

I think the poster was making a tongue in cheek remark.

Definitely haven't any such rumour.

Mayo News reporting Mike Connelly and four other county board officials met with the Mayo captain Cillian O Connor and vice captains Aidan O Shea/Tom Parsons on Thursday evening in MacHale Park for an annual review meeting.

Separately Stephen Rochford met with the board Friday evening and are due to meet again in a fortnight by which time he aims to have nailed down a number of individuals to work alongside himself and Joe Keane.

Connelly quote "He still has to put together a backroom team and he's hoping for have that done by the end of next week and that's where it's at".

Connelly confirmed the players would have no input in the formulation of the backroom team.

Liam MacHale it is so.

Seems to be more rumbling with the Ladies and in particular from a leading Mayo club side who want the Co.Board out.
The saga continues!

No surprise there. He will learn from it and move on.

He is lucky at that, could have been worse. I wonder what was said in his ear before hand

Delighted for Limerick. Many parallels with ourselves. Lived there for 6 years and played down there so I remember their passion.
As said, can only but imagine how they are feeling today.

Galway were way off the mark, thats 3 losses, but they got that all important one win. Interesting to hear the parallels with us and the curse last night on up for the match.

And this is where you get the conflict with league performance.

If you want to run out a whole host of young guys then challenging for the league is likely not an option, and some here (and for good reason) think that challenging the league might be a good idea.

You could also end up in a situation where after running out the young guys early and losing you are scrambling for league points to avoid relegation and you got back to the old guys to dig you out of a hole. This is what Kerry did a lot under Fitzmaurice.

Or do you stick with young guys and take relegation if it happens ?

The best scenario of course is if you win early with young guys then you are safe in Division 1 after half the league then you can do as you wish after that.

Nowadays with the Super 8`s any team with genuine aspirations of even reaching that stage, never mind winning an AI, will need to be seriously blooding their bench during the league.

Games come thick and fast from the Q/F stage on if they stick to this years format.Three Q/F games and a S/F in five weeks. The teams with larger squads who can have lads coming in at the latter stages of games with experience are in an advantage in this format. Plus they have exact positional cover for any injuries on a game by game basis

Prime example is both teams in this years AI final.
The days of the first 15 plus 6 or 7 handy subs are gone. Nowadays you need a second team practically as good as your first to win an AI imho.

Limerick hurlers end up happy after a final at last. I’ve heard us and them being mentioned together sometimes because of similar experiences in finals (1994 being their particular nightmare). Hopefully we can finally get over the line soon enough.

Yeah I saw that on the Indo.

Pretty sad,loved that gaff.

Manys a great night had there win,lose or draw.

I lived in Drumcondra for a few years in the mid nineties.

Outside of match days The Big Tree had a poor reputation, particularly on Saturday nights when it was dirt birds as far as the eye could see.

Can't help but feel we had our chance, last year especially - it all went right on the day but we just couldn't finish it off.

We'll always try to come back though.
