Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Hulk Hands

The comparison was silly. Walsh could be argued as the worst of those three and Mayo sacrificed their best player on Saturday to follow him everywhere. If Walsh jumped into the first row of concrete benches around the edge, Keegan would've hopped in beside him. Hardly conductive to getting easy space and ball

Great for Knockmore to get the league win on Saturday, even if it was an anti-climax, Ballina rolled over, 13 points wasn't flattering to Knockmore, Naughton, Keith Ruttledge, Shane McHale and King were all excellent
Clarke was the only Ballina man who looked like he wanted to be there but for him it could have been a lot worse
Word was that two of their players wouldn't come from Dublin to play as they had nothing to play for, as we said Saturday night whatever happened to the bitterness?
I remember in 1996 Crossmolina going for the league and had to come out to us in October, it was like a championship match, we tore into them, beating them meant Davitts won the league the following week

Anyway our first senior title since 2003, its only the league but its nice to have something, we've gone from a county title every 3/4 years to not winning anything in 16 years, hopefully they can take the step up to Ballintubber in the next year or so. Orme and Naughton are two high quality forwards, the kind you need to be winning the county

Did any read the back page of yesterdays Indo? "O'Leary eyes sponsor bid in new twist to Mayo dispute". What I'm reading is that he wants the sponsorship of Mayo GAA over Elverys and has put his bid in for it. I dont know about ye but I would hate to see Elverys gone from the front of any Mayo jersey. Its part of the green and red at this stage. Correcr me if Im wrong but this is the same chap who is in dispute with Mayo CB over all the funds he gave them....and now he is asking them to consider him for sponsorship?? Christ on a bike

He's looking to see how his money is being spent, its hardly an unreasonable request from what is apparently a very large sponsor. Governance is a massive issue and being able to show transparency should be a prerequisite. The county board need to be accountable for their spending, it shouldn't be a black hole. I would suggest giving him a say in how things are run but he should definitely know what his money is being spent on.

As for Elverys on the front of the shirt, Mayo GAA should be looking for the best possible deal, theres no room for sentimentality, if Mayo were to fall away you can be sure Elverys would be looking for a better deal or moving on

I think he just wants a look at the process and how it's awarded.

Definitely this from what’s being said there has being no tender process and just kept elverys on as sponsor.

Wasn’t there something that elverys nearly went in to administration only for the employees could be totally wrong on this yet they coukd sponsor the county team

Best time to play Dublin is in the earlier rounds. They are basically still in pre-season mode and monaghan getting them early this year and beating them was key to keeping them up by the skin of their teeth.

Best of luck with that.

Mayo have yet to record a win over Jim Gavin's Dubs in just the14 attempts.

Presumably the job of the new commercial manager is to generate some extra revenue. Naming rights is a quick and easy way to increase funds. Who cares what McHale Park is called once we are getting a massive sum for it. Don't get me wrong Elvery's have been great supporters of the county team but how much do we actually get from them? They are tied up with numerous other counties including Dublin which is hard to believe considering what AIG are pumping into them. You can be sure Kerry Group look after Kerry exceptionally as well. It's time we started making the most of the Mayo brand

In agreement with you but their is also a social type pressure that plays it's part too which can inhibit the ability to realise the best financial deals.
Let's say Guinness or Benson & Hedges wanted to buy the naming rights then you would have a lot of people saying that this isn't the GAA ethos even though it might be the best financial deal verus someone like McHale Farm Machinery or Allergan

I believe that a lot of local contractors were used when building the new stand as there was a belief that these people would be going to GAA matched there and bring theirs families in the future. It may have cost a big more than having firms from fermanagh or westmeath doing the work but the community aspect needs to be incorporated

The highest bidder with the best package should get it. If that's O'Leary then fair enough.

We’re a laughing stock at this stage. We make Trump look competent.

Arragh we are not really

The crowd over the border are in all sorts of bother with money and the hurling team (which as they tell us after their footballers fall flat year after year is what most of them are interested in anyway) can't even gather nominations for a new manager.

Cartman78

Anyone watching the Underdogs this year and/or going to the match in Castlebar in a couple of weeks?

Can't make it myself but would be interested to see what kind of team Mayo put out...

Best time to play them alright

In any case - maybe we can get the fog machine out in Castlebar again and get it cancelled and resulted in a draw?

Oh wait... this isn't that other farce of a sport

The game that was abandoned due to fog got rescheduled and we hammered them!

I have to say that I'm very surprised that either nobody here or the County Board have commented on the financial implications of next years Championship draw - it means no home games in the Connacht Championship at all in 2020. Apart from the loss of home advantage and going on the road for the entirety, there's big loans to be repaid that depend on these games... Remember 2010 and how they got bailed out by Sligo having to take Castlebar as the neutral final for the final?

Best. Joke. Ever. "absolutely needed Liam McHale as a coach". That's the funniest thing I've read on here in ages! :pac:

There was no championship games in McHale part in 2015 either. The difference is now we have a chance of a home super 8's games should we get that far. Nothing like that in 2015.

Tough enough schedule. Would have much preferred Kerry and Tyrone early on. Definitely not advisable to be in the mix for relegation with those last 3 fixtures as they are, even if 2 are at home.

Donegal away is a very tricky start and Dublin is basically a write off anymore even if it may be better in theory to play them early. Monaghan and Meath games are definitely the most winnable and will probably define the campaign

Given our form in McHale Park, I don't fancy us in any of our home games. Kerry at home could be terrible.

With the likely experimentation and team transition I think as usual we'll have a real fight to stay up.

Agree! I'm pretty sure our first 3 games in 2019 were Roscommon, Cavan and Tyrone who only get going in the latter rounds. All extremely winnable

Think it's extremely likely we'll lose our first 2 next year, giving us basically zero margin for error against Monaghan and meath.

I think Mayo county board were prepared to give McStay the job if he joined up without McHale and he wasn't going to do that. In his own words Mayo didn't particularly need Kevin McStay as manager but they absolutely needed Liam McHale a a coach.
