Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
In my opinion Stephen Rochford was our best manager this century but if it is true he is putting together a team with Donie Buckly I hope they dont get it. Been there, done that. I think we need a clean slate. New thinking. Stephen Rochford stil has loads to offer but wait another 2/3 years and it will be a clean slate for him as most of his last squad will be finished.
There are various names going around but at the end of the day its down to whom the backroom is. Manager and 2 others is the key. If Paul Galvin is part of Raymonds team then thats a super start. A winner and also intercounty management experience. Havent really heard who anyone else has. I have heard John Maughan mentioned as backroom for another canditate but not sure if i believe the person who told me!
If Rochford gets in then since John Maughan was appointed in 95(?) the Mickey Moran year is the only year we have had a manager who had one term. All others from 1995 are two term (I am giving Pat Holmes first term credit for his joint manager year)
Did Galvin not walk away halfway through his term in Wexford? Cant see him offering much tbh
Yeah. Attitude from the Wexford players and county board was a shambles. He wasn't going to waste his time in with a self sabotaging group.
He was in this year with Kildare and got decent reviews.
If Galvin was brought in as a selector/coach I'd expect Mayo to change their game plan totally. Much like Jack O'Connor, Galvin is mad about kick passing and is very sharp on attacking movement.
Watched the second half of Crossmolina and Parke last nite. Parke are a serious outfit, move the ball, have lads who can kick a point maybe a little light. They destroyed Cross
Kerry saved Mayo some serious embarrassment today. But it seems likely that Galway will go on to win Sam first and humiliate Mayo.
Thanks. Off back to the onlyfans forum for you . Are you a pervert ted
Deleted.
@padd b1975 Just a thought but if that accident only happened late last night, it mightn't be public knowledge and might be best to delete for now?
Deleted a couple of posts. As PARlance said above, it's probably best to leave out any speculation of this nature until there's something official.
May they Rest In Peace :(
Seems to be a problem with the link KM. Tragic news, thinking of the poor families and friends.
Awful news.
Jesus that's awful news....was on that stretch of road yesterday evening around 7pm.
Condolences to family and friends
God love them, desperate, desperate news.
Did anyone see Bernard Flynns tweet before he edited last night? Looks like Rochford was involved in his backroom team for Meath.
Saw that alright, thanked Rochford for the support
There is a whatsapp message going around now with four teams. Absolutely no way of knowing how genuine it is and it probably isn't. But one of the teams has Rochford backed by Mcstay and McHale
I'd take that.
I'm as well to put them up here with the caveat this is a whatsapp message and I have no idea how genuine it is!
Mike Solan; Donie Buckley; Enda McGinley
Ray Dempsey; Ciaran McDonald; Paul Galvin; Terry Kennedy
Stephen Rochford; Kevin McStay; Liam McHale
Declan Shaw, Peter Forde, Tommy O'Malley.
A Knockmore, Crosmolina and Ballina man on the same ticket. Could make for fireworks!
In my opinion, the most important things for the new management team, who even they are, is to get our players practising the skills of passing and shooting more frequently. Repeated practice is what makes displays like those put in by Clifford and Walsh Sunday possible. Natural talent + Continuous Practice = Individual Performance. Too often I feel we, as in Mayo football culture, believe that natural talent gets you to team where the system takes over. When then pressure comes on then, often the skills will suffer as there is no reps to fall back on. Clifford and Walsh look effortless because of the effort they put in to practice. The time players put in on the back pitch with their mates on a Friday evening is as important as the time in the gym.
Just seeing that about Oisins brother, that's awful news.
The Rochford, McStay, McHale card would lead me to believe it isn't genuine. Would McStay be happy to play second fiddle to him? Would Rochford really pick McStay and McHale... Both strong personalities and a bit of a duo, the balance of power wouldn't be what a manager would want imo. I just can't see how that trio would work in balance.
I like the look of the Dempsey card and it's more or less what I would have expected.
That's a very fair point on McStay and McHale!
Its like people put a bunch of names into a hat and started drawing them out.
I wouldn't believe any of it.
Regarding Rochford, I read yesterday he would have been part of a potential Meath setup that wasnt chosen. Would he really be preparing for two jobs at once? Maybe so, but seems off to me
Probably on the condition that he didn't get the Mayo job
Looks like it's just the other way round with McStay number 1 and Rochford assistant!

That makes a bit more sense alright.
Unusual that Rochford seems to have settled for an assistant role these days, you would think that he would want another crack at the top job, but maybe that role suits him better.
Is there a list going round of people NOT linked to the Mayo job? 😅
Hopefully it's confirmed one way or the other soon
I’d be absolutely delighted if that comes to pass
