Mayo GAA Discussion

Bit of a stud apparently...

So basically Westport are the Dublin of Mayo GAA......😀. There must be a correlation with the blue!!!!!

My knowledge of the local club game has diminished over the years but Balla have been very hard done by there

Dublin doesn't have the same levels of funding though! Vote Ring no.1

My in-laws are from Irishtown, very disappointed with Saturday evening. I was up there Sunday, Noel Connelly is the Claremorris manager, the ref brought his own linesmen, one of them Connelly’s brother. The last free Davitts got the linesman brought it back five yards and out of Ronan Mc’s range.

Whatever about the rights or wrongs of the decision the optics are awful.

On Conor Diskin, meant to be flying but anytime I’ve ever seen him in real life he never shuts the f**k up, at the ref, at his own teammates, at the opposition

Sorry, Ray

Deserved win for Westport yesterday.

Usual suspects were to the fore.

Keegan was imperious,quasi conductor orchestrating all.

Paddy with a couple of lovely scores,a beauty with the ciotog in the first half and another fine score from a crazy angle in the second half.

Fionn impressed in the middle of the park,really hope he can push on for the seniors.His progress stalled post his breakthrough year in 2018.

He has all the attributes to contribute in the half forward line/midfield.Physique,aerial ability,stamina and as we know from past ventures an accurate ciotog.

A very elegant solo and deceptively pacy footballer.

Brickendon needs to show more going forward.

Paddy Heneghan kicked 2 nice scores before HT.

Hopefully he'll fulfill his underage potential.

Hard for Paul Walsh to make an impact post his late introduction.

I think it was a case of youth acing experience.

There has been an infusion of some youth in the Mitchels team but the majority of the team are a long time on the road.

Reliant on a midfield of Barry Moran and an ineffectual Donie Vaughan.

They struggled up front.

James Durcan,Colm Moran,Mark Moran did not effect the game to the degree they would have hoped for.

Quite the result for Belmullet V Knockmore.

Great win for Belmullet too. Conditions were atrocious in Tallagh particularly for the second half of the reports are accurate.

A draw vs Aghamore will be enough for them to qualify for the next round.

Do you have a source for that?

I really hope thats not true.

Just saw it confirmed elsewhere,He's not running for re-election.

Positive on the face of it but I wonder what is driving this. This is Mayo so we can expect further drama in the coming weeks.

Now the hard part installing a Dublin \ Kerry \ Tyrone standard of Chairman. First he has to be found, then persuaded to stand and finally Clubs need to put aside their own self interest and put in whoever will be best for County.

Personally I think we need a complete outsider. By this I do not mean a non Mayo person but a person who is a complete outsider to Mayo GAA \ Divisional Executives. Somebody who knows how to successfully run an organisation. It does not matter if from Mayo or not.

The winning or losing of next AI final starts here.

There was rumours going around the week after the all ireland that he was going to resign. Which has now turned out to be true!

I'd agree with that. I think Mayo GAA is a big organisation now, and has the potential to become much bigger in terms of commercial income etc

Much too big for voluntary office holders to manage to it's potential, and probably unfair to expect them to.

Disappointing to see Moffatt stepping down. I thought he was doing a reasonably good job. It's difficult for anyone to put in the time required for a job like this and especially so when you have a couple of young kids. Good luck to him in future endeavours

Will be interesting to see who replaces him

You do not want follow the Kerry CB template. It's a shambles. And I'd probably get banned for expressing my thoughts on Murphy but I'm glad his time is up.

A paid CEO is the way to go these days for counties that can afford it and Mayo are one of those who can. A proven business man who knows what is required to succeed. Days of county board officers, jobs for the boys along for the ride are numbered and it wont be long before a paid executive is the norm.
