    True. All I'll say is its sad to see Vaughan doing a runner on his own club, others have the view that he gave them the boot once relegated from senior level.


    Looks like for him playing other than senior, the shoe just didn`t fit

    Transfers like that takes the sole out of club football.

    He's not fit to lace Aidan O'Shea's boots.

    Minimum of a 4 week ban for the two Carnacon players who got red cards last Sunday.
    The word 'Appeal' comes to mind!

    Did they create an unsafe environment for other people ?

    He did already. He knows he was in the right and most people do. The Carnacon ladies are been left to it now.


    Any word on the Galway lads up there "Financial irregularities", seems to have gone all quite? Could be a few of your boys in jail up there yet?

    I’d say beatin Mayo 5 times in a row has gone to their head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,474 ✭✭✭Audioslaven


    The Galway bucks are beating refs these days so they are busy!!

    Now that is an unsafe environment!!!

    Stephen Rochford going to Donegal as a coach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Any opinions on how the county final will go?

    Ballintubber would have to favoured to reclaim the Moclair Cup.

    Most neutrals would I imagine hope Breaffy can finally claim a county title.

    The intermediate final preceding it should be worth a look.

    Belmullet v Burrishoole

    The Doc and Chris Barrett going head to head.

    These Saturday night gigs are just super duper!:D

    I’m loving Mayo GAA TV I have to say. Can’t make the games as I live on the east coast. Also great for my Dad who isn’t fit to go. Feel like I’m not missing out as much.

    I don't know if anyone has notice but both nationally and internationally there seems to be a concerted effort to promote (for the use of a better word) "non traditional" women's sports.

    Turn on or login to RTE and there is often a story about women's rugby, women's soccer etc.
    And the BBC are worse, you can't move for the amount of women's sports stories on their online application.

    With regards to ladies football TG4 have been way ahead of anyone in it's promotion and thus the promotion of women's sports.

    So it's a bit odd that in this day and age the ladies final, involving one of the most hight profile club teams in tne country gets fixed for a relative backwater like Killmena

    Compared to McHale Park or Swinford Community Pitch where a lot of lgfa finals are, the smaller Kilmeena pitch will suit Knockmore better.

    Highland radio also reporting it now it appears.

    Strange move from him, going from Mayo manager to work in Declan Bonner`s backroom team. Looks as if he may be a replacement for Karl Lacey who has been reported as leaving.

    Wishing Stephen Rochford the best in his new venture.

    Tad surprised if the truth be told,substantial commitment.Nice commute from Ballinrobe to Donegal.He's got quite a young family too.

    Not too sure if there were too many attractive frontline vacancies available?

    Roscommon obviously have a vacancy but it's a risky proposition most especially for an outside manager.No win situation.Heading into a challenging space with a tough campaign in division one pending.Undoubtedly there is potential but Kevin McStay's apparent lack of an emphasis on the defensive side of the game and strength and conditioning requires addressing.Finances seem to be a live issue too as evident by McStay's statement of resignation.

    He'd likely be lynched in Mayo anyway if he took the position.:)

    Donegal train in Convoy which is a fair old hike from Ballinrobe. 2 hours each way and with a young family very surprised he took the job. Plus no connection to Donegal faik other than Paul Mc Gettigan ex Donegal player he would know from his days with Corofin.
    Surprised Bonner wanted him as well. With him just gone from county management it is a bit like taking a wife to live with your mother. Usually ends in tears. Also would have though if Karl Lacey is gone from the backroom team I would have thought a backs coach would have been the obvious replacement.
