Mayo GAA Discussion

No intrest in anyone helping out the Mayo lgfa with clubs contacted again today looking for nominations for a number of Executive positions including chair and secretary before their agm in 2 weeks.

I see Aiden Henry is at it again, he's some plague, big article about Keegan retiring

Wouldn't be the first time he was wide of the mark. Pray to god he's wrong about Mullin

What a rag the Connaught is.

Just rehash WhatsApp rumours,half the time true,have the time not but hey who cares about journalistic standards?

I believe its true about Oisin as a reputable source (the Examiner) had it last week.

It could well be true about Leeroy too but if it is he should be afforded the opportunity to announce it himself.

Same. Read an interview with him last week where he sounded very conflicted between the commitment it takes to play intercounty football and being there and present with his children. Understandable tbh. Life and perspective totally shift once kids are in the picture. You feel so guilty about missing out on things with them, it can eat away at you. So it doesn't surprise me that he might be ready to call it a day.

Family

Can't see the Oisín story being true especially after year his family have had.

Im sure Keegan spoke after Derry v Galway on tv, and basically committed to being back without saying so. He seemed nailed on, hard to see a u turn but good luck to him if so. Hes been amazing, version 1 marauding wing back, and v2 inspirational corner back. 2018ish he looked unfit, off the pace, thought he was done then. To come back to the standard he did was unreal.

There was speculation previously that players wanted nothing to do with McHale, but Keegan would be the last to down tools over dislike of a coach so doubt its that

Yes, Keegan said on TV that he more than likely to stay on, but recent interviews have been much less certain of that, and sounded like he more likely not to return to the panel.

A true great, and with two young kids and having played for as long as he has, it would be entirely understandable.

Re Mullin, maybe the intention was always to go to Oz this year.

Or maybe he feels he needs to get away from it all after the year he's had. Would be a double whammy, but best of luck to both of them if that's what they decide.

Tbh Mullin hasn't really imposed himself on games for Mayo yet for whatever reason. Maybe expectation was too high.

Mullin hasn't been played in a position that would allow him to show what he's really capable of imo. I'd play him midfield and see how he gets on. He's not a natural defender. Last year was brutal for him for injury.

That's some comment about Oisin Mullin. He joined the senior set-up in 2020. Was young player of the year for the WHOLE country for 2020 and 2021. Won an All-Star in 2020, poutting him the best in the country at senior level in hi position.

And you're saying he hasn't really imposed himself on games.

This is so true about Keegan. He will never down tools over any coach. He doesn't need to as he has full belief in everything he does. He never looks for excuses and has said many times that we were not good enough to win in finals lacking that few percent. All the time we stuck him on the key players against teams and he does this to the absolute limit...brilliant, unselfish play, a unassuming leader.He must be an absolute pleasure to manage for any manager or should I say he can manage himself.

It's definitely due to being played out of position imo.
