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

Haven't heard any rumours about anyone walking away. At this stage, you'd imagine if anyone was going to go, they'd have said so?

I think there are 7 gone from the 2019 panel. Schlingermann, Cafferkey, Crowe, Drake, Regan, Diskin and Andy. 9 or 10 newbies have been called up so far.

Are any players carrying an injury into the new season, apart from Jason Doherty?

If memory serves, Crossmolina also hosted league games back in the day.

I remember Kiltimah hosting a league game back in the early 80's i think, it was V Down. Was a big deal for the club and the town at the time

No indication that he's left the panel.

Curious as to the extent of a cull James Horan will carry out.

Michael Schlingermann the third choice goalkeeper has left the panel.

Devil a chance you guys could divert a bit of your hard earned cash away from covey land to the impoverished environs of Castlebar?

You could set up camp with the O Sheas in Breaffy.:)

TBH I can't blame you.

Always glad to extend an invitation to beautiful Mayo.

He was actually dropped,certainly didnt walk away anyway

Heathrow is definitely the nearest public airport . If you can get the RAF / ( or maybe a Private Jet ) then RAF Northolt is little more than half a mile down the road .;)

Fair enough.

I definitely saw it reported in one of the papers he'd walked away.

Surprised that he was dropped with him being there for the Underdogs game.
I do not know a lot about him, but he seemed competent under the high ball and his kick-outs seemed good.

He looked way too small for an intercounty keeper

Stayed in Camden the last time which was a good spot. With the tube you can really stay anywhere. Flew into Stanstead which was about an hour from central London (can get train or bus).

I wouldn`t have thought him small. 6ft give or take an inch and at least 12 stone. Looks pretty much the same build as Stephen Cluxton to me at least

My very first Mayo match was a league match in Crossmolina back in 1968 against Clare as a 5 year old.

I still remember the red stripe that seemed to stand out vividly against what I remember as a bottle green jersey.

My father who brought me was from Knockmore and was delighted to see Peter Hughes score a great goal that day. I remember that goal very well but Unfortunately I have to rely on MayoGaaBlog to recount that Joe Corcoran scored 2-2 and John Morley scored 1-1.

in a interview he said he walked. no chance of getting ahead of Clarke or Robbie.

wanted to get back playing soccer but was caught as he is working in allergan. think he signed for castlebar celtic.

All the advantages Dublin now have make the whole thing a farce . Even Gavin could not continue with that sham .

Juicy contest in prospect tonight as Westport take on Claremorris in the under 21 final tonight at 19.00.

Can't make it myself.

A bit surprised, but not overly.
Declan Darcy gave quite a few interviews this year where it was made clear he was Galvin`s right hand. Thought it unusual in that Galvin has always hated anyone within the camp, players or backroom giving interviews, so I imagine it was with Galvin`s approval.
Dessie Farrell would be the favourite I imagine, but if Galvin was to put his weight behind Darcy on the basis of continuity then who knows.

I heard Gavin on the radio news yesterday talking about needing a licence from the IAA if people are buying drones for Christmas. I thought it unusual at the time since he rarely speaks publicly on anything. It's very late in the day to be changing managers even if they do have someone lined up already.

He is top tier in the IAA so highlighting the problems and requirement on drones would be within his remit so that interview would not surprise me, but it is not the pressure in the day job that is the reason for him going. Imagine he has had this planned for some time.

I know a bit about him from my own job and he is not someone who makes rash decisions.
With the league just around the corner short notice alright, but then he is so meticulous in all aspects it would not surprise me that if he is backing Darcy, he would see it as an advantage to Darcy with it being a handover giving continuity.

ProudDUB

I've heard him talking about drones in interviews before. It's not the first time he's done it. So don't think it's all that relevant.

Jim Gavin was a super manager, he gave nothing away, ran a tight ship and played the in form players when needed. No one was too big to be dropped.
Mayo have gone through their fair share of managers during his reign...and am so tired of seeing internal County board drama in the news. Another concern...Mayo’s clubs aren’t progressing very far at national level in the club championship. Are these clubs capable of providing the county team with top players for future competitions...I think Mayo need to start looking forward and stop living in the past.

100% charlie14.

I pmed a much missed Dublin poster and am of the same opinion.

I think Darcy is most likely Gavin's anointed successor admittedly based on a very limited knowledge of the ins and outs of the Dublin setup.

He appears the person most likely to continue the process.

Anyway I'm not discussing such matters any further on the Mayo thread!:)

In what way are mayo living in the past?

I'm not saying our clubs can't do better but they've been losing to Corofin at the end of the day. The same as every other county champions.

I would have looked on a county`s senior club doing well nationally as more a hindrance than a help to county teams in that their players were unavailable for practically all of the national league under the old St. Patrick`s day format.

At least bringing the All Ireland club finals forward should help in that regard.

He is gone as a player. He is now officially the team nutritional advisor.

However, in early November it was announced that he was dropped from the Mayo panel.

Schlingermann had started the win over the Underdogs in MacHale Park back in late October and he was looking forward to showing what he could do in 2020 for the green and red.

“I was looking forward to making a push and playing a game or two in next year's campaign but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way for now”.

In fairness the last 4 years our reps have gone out to Corofin, one of the best club teams of all time. In the last decade we have had 2 teams in the Junior final and 4 in the Intermediate final, thats second only to Kerry and Tyrone.
