Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
i agree , hes in every pub in the country , thats why people love listening to him because he reminds us of someone we know or work with that goes that little bit overboard , in truth i think he was spot on , on several issues regarding mayo football over the last few years , its easy look half cracked when you are 3 sheets to the wind though .
I see Donegal have no nominations for their top job
Things could always be worse
Ah sure he works remote from up there!!!
That's a fair aul commute from Allergan to Stillorgan for training after work. A kind of inverse Shane Walsh
The man lives and breathes GAA, had a few chats with him a few years ago, used to drink in my local, yes he gets a bit ott at times but his heart is in the right place. he was a class underage player, i was just a kid at the time but used love watching him play. Lost a county U-16 final heavily to mc Stay's Balina, dont know if there is some residue from that 😃
I'll put the blame on google translate
I feel #araghaidhlinn would work better there but solid effort otherwise
Negotiations ongoing. Kilmacud close to meeting Breaffy's asking price. Player and agent to agree travel expenses. #AnseoTáimidAgDul 🔵⚪
Still no sign of AOS for Breaffy, @PARlance any inside info?
I see your point. I've always taken him as a bit of a character with a serious knowledge of Mayo GAA. He hasn't struck me as having mental health or alcohol problems though, just being half cracked.
Agree 100% on this
No doubt there is. I think his single appearance in Mayo colours as a sub in a minor game in 1980 has perhaps elevated his stature a bit too much.
I think he's gas and in fairness there's a Jimmy in most locals in the county except unlike most he's played the game at a high level.
Being honest I think it's bad form the manner in which his rants are shared on social media. Making a fool out of him in that manner when he has (from what I can see) either some issues with mental health or alcohol abuse is not cool.
He played minor for Mayo too. There was a clip going around of a goal he scored for Mayo there a while ago but I wouldn't know where to find it now!
Kiltimagh man alright and a fine footballer in his day
I've seen the clips but have no idea who he actually is. For me that may be part of the intrigue! I've heard he's Kiltimagh side but that's all I know.
I'd love to be in his company for one of his rants.
very intrigued like the rest of the country to hear what jimmy sloyans choice is .... are all yer phones gone dead up there or ye are all barred from the shamrock in Claremorris 😀
i imagine he is totally against the appointment of the priest kisser from ballina 😂
surly he must be in favor of a return to management of john maughan , a former soldier from his minor days that dosent have gold rimms around him or an army cadet, and a man that already produced more miracles then our lady of knock back in 92 , an entire county stood up of its wheelchair and walked for the first time in 60 years ,
also the fact that Maughan didnt hit him an unmerciful wallop in that famous east mayo centenary cup final must be a plus , and just for the record while north Charlestown and balahadreen touch east mayo they never qualified for the worlds greatest junior competition
Game was fixed for a Friday evening at 7.30 In Ballina and a good few of the Ballinrobe players were travelling from Cork and Dublin where they work and couldn't make it. Crazy decision to fix it for a Friday by the county board.
Why is Ballinrobe Ballina 1/4 final off?
100%
Momentum is crucial.
Mayo fell over the line against Derry and Cork after extra time on their way to losing to Dublin by a point in the final in 2017.
As I said momentum and luck are two of the biggest factors (amongst the really elite teams)
I don't think that's true. Look back at the Dublin semi final last year and it was Ryan and Tommy winning a few turnovers in the middle third that led to us getting level and eventually winning the game. Neither of those 2 worked with Buckley. Even the Kerry QF this year, we turned them over loads of times (Eoghan McLaughlin in particular). Obviously it didn't lead to much then but that's a separate point.
I'm sure Buckley is a good coach but I would have reservations bringing someone back who was there for so long already.
Yes, but the galway team that won in castlebar would have been annillated by kerry.... Big games particularly in croke park are critical for a teams development.
I think buckley is the key. We seem to have have lost the art of the tackle with players retiring. Get him back in and get that back into the players again.
We're not far away from the top prize at all.
What we need is our full squad available,the new management team to be able to maintain the standards of the last 10 years and a bit of luck.If we get these things we're in the shake up.
Football at the really top level is such fine margins,Mayo were not playing well and completely decimated by injuries yet lost to Galway by a point.Galway get a bit of momentum and a handy run and they're in the All Ireland final.Really small margins.
Talking to a lot of people round the county about who should get it, the public choice seems to be a two horse race between Dempsey & McStay.
I've yet to meet anyone who has said they'd like to see Shaw get the gig and I'm working in Castlebar.
A lot of people saying that McStays team will cost more than Dempseys and that will decide it, I know we can't discount money but I hope it doesn't come down to that.
OTB made the point that the talk of bringing in a proven manager to Mayo is nonsense, we've had a proven manager before and look what happened. That it will take very little to tip us over the edge
I think there can be very little complaint if any of Solan, Dempsey or McStay get it, they all seem good options with reasons for going for them and reasons for not going for them.
What kind of process would that involve km?
Would it be similar to a club transfer where there could be objections etc. from the "former" county?
Or does the fact that a player was allowed to play for a club in a new county leave the door wide open to play for that county as well?
England Flasher Tim has Dempsey's management team as Galvin, McConville & Keith Higgins
No offenses to them but not a ticket that would have me confident of nailed on football long into the summer
