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

TBH I think they should pull the plug on this year's championship on the basis of a public health requirement.

And the league, don't forget to pull the plug on the league

That's what I would have thought also but the behind closed doors talk seems relentless.

Is closed doors an option for any contact sport? I don't see how any governing body of any sport could give the go ahead if 'social distancing' directives are still in place by government. It would be in direct contravention to what the public are being told to do, why would it be any different for athletes in any contact sport.

Yeah i would say that's all wishful thinking unless they play them out behind closed doors.

All indications seem to be that social distancing will be kept in place even after the lockdown is lifted, so I don't see there being any large crowds being allowed to attend games for the foreseeable. I don't think we'll be seeing much, if any, GAA this year tbh, unless a vaccine for this thing miraculously appears in the next month or two.

When sporting activity recommences, the GAA will accommodate both club and county games. The Association also intends to complete the Allianz Leagues, or at least those games that have a bearing on next year's divisions, where possible.

Feck !!!!

If it's August or after when the games resume, I doubt the leagues will be finished. I have a funny feeling they are saying that at the moment to avoid deciding how league tables would be constructed if the leagues were to be stopped today (as in, would they be declared null and start next year with the same leagues, or take current positions as final).

As well as this, if it comes down to finishing the league or rushing an All Ireland series where they can fill Croke Park for a few games, money will decide.

Mayo would make a great team to follow but it wont happen for many reasons but it would be an interesting thought.

This was an interview with Aidan O'Mahony, a great article about community policing, but the salient piece is

“I called to Mayo All-Ireland winning footballer Paddy Prendergast and his wife Irene on Tuesday. They are living in Tralee. Paddy was sitting inside the window reading the newspaper. David and I sat on the porch and chatted away to him. We had a great conversation, most of which centred on Mayo football of course. It was nice for half an hour not to be thinking about what the country is going through.

“I gave my number to Paddy and Irene, and said, whatever you need, ring me, and even if I’m off, I’ll contact the station and it’ll be done. He is in great health, a mighty man.

Thought his best year was 2004 as a full forward.

Final hammering versus Kerry probably cost him an All-star that year

A lot of Conor v Kenneth debates, but for me the best Mortimer of all was Trevor.

Kenneth, best corner back in the country in '96 and '97. No question! We were gone early in '98, he was an average centre forward for us in '99 and it kinda just petered out after that....

Trevor was the ultimate team player, played in a variety of positions, always left everything he had on the field and sacrificed his own game for the good of the team - which is something that could never be said for the other lad!! Kinda felt he was shafted at times due to his versatility and never got a proper run in one position, although he suffered a lot from injuries too. Was brilliant at centre forward in '09 but his best years were probably '07 and '11 when he played at wing back. I'd have loved to see him get a proper run at 6 or 7 as I felt it was probably his best position. A huge loss who could have made a difference in 2012 and 2013 IMHO.

Green&Red

We have a lot of class backs, less so in the forward line, thats why Conor makes it over Kenneth

It came down to Conor + Harrison V Kenneth + Freeman

While Chucky was a savage player, the Bomber was the greatest player ever to lace a boot, so he has to be there. His goal in the '92 county final from 40 yards and the point against Ballina in the '96 final alone get him on that team

A sorry to Conor but Kenneth has to make that team. Watching back old TG4 games reminded me just how good he was and the silliness of the 1997 final and the defensive rejig where he still wasn't out on Maurice Fitz. Kevin Cahill also hard done by but I guess Andy nudges him out.James Nallen the same. It is very tough isn't it!!!!!!!But Kenneth has to slot in for Harrison there . So another corner forward needed. Maybe kevin O neill? so then Brogan misses out.........someone else can find the missing forward my head hurts. Maybe John Casey actually

FYI

It's the finale of Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week.

Padraig O Hora has been in the top 2-3 from the get go.

Playing inter county football is a walk in the park compared with this challenge.:)

Hope he brings home the bacon!

My understanding is, and I may be incorrect, that while the vast majority of club pitches are vested in the GAA and as such are overseen by trustees thus enabling them to draw down GAA grants, it is not a necessity when it come to participation in GAA games.

Don't mind that account, looks like it was created to try and stir up **** for Breaffy. They have a thread on the Mayo forum saying that Breaffy GAA are putting up phone masts on their property, awful shocking behaviour etc.

Load of BS
