Mayo GAA Discussion

Totally agree.

Horan moved Mayo football to another plane in 2011, Rochford built on that when Horan had done his time.

Then Horan came back to start again.

But we need something fresh now.

They need to be able to vary the system and get the best out of the type of players we have now, not try to get them to adapt to the system that worked so well for the players in the past.

We need to look at the defense. What Kerry did this year in sorting their backs out is what Mayo should be aiming to do.

And they need to get forwards kicking points and scoring goals.

During one of the Mayo News podcasts around the end of last year it was suggested that a full forward line of Cillian, ROD and Conroy could totally change the emphasis of Mayo football.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see it in 2022, and I'm worried that the years and injuries are taking a greater toll on Cillian.

But hopefully we will get to see it from those three and maybe a few others.

That's why we need a new manager that has not already been there.

That would be a nice full forward line alright. But do we have a good enough playmaker further out the pitch to supply decent ball in - taking into account that most counties have some form of sweeper in place. Will we be depending on half backs again breaking forward at every given chance. If there is no out-ball available to the inside forwards (because of being bottled up and quantity of numbers back), do we have half forward who can shoot with regular accuracy from 35/40 yards out to beat the blanket defence.

I don't know. Wish I had the answers. One option maybe be to play ROD in the half forwards, and keep Jack Carney full forward, flanked by COC and T Conroy.

From a reliable source?

Can someone remind me how it works, is it public knowledge who has put themselves forward when it gets that far?

The latest i heard was that Galvin was going in with Dempsey

Brian Cody is at a loose end

Did Galvin not walk away halfway through his term in Wexford? Cant see him offering much tbh

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

Thanks. Off back to the onlyfans forum for you . Are you a pervert ted

@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?

May they Rest In Peace :(

Awful news.

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.

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'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.
