    Seen as where he is from, he should have been screamin every time David Heaney touched the ball. You'll probably tell me now he has a Dublin accent as well :o

    Well he's in his late 80s now and he's ever so relaxed.I'm sure he'd be screamin in his head.:D Its hard to attract his attention to ask him if he wants a cup of tea while he's watching a Mayo game.Half time is our best chance.

    He has no Dublin accent at all either JMayo.He spent pretty much the last 50 years living outside Mayo.He came back from England to go back to Mayo for a short while.Having spent some time in Wales,England,Dublin and Saudi Arabia as a builder,you'd swear he came across some mad accents but did not alter his.He left Mayo at first when he was 16 but you can hear his Mayo accent when he says certain words like "ookaay".:D

    You can take a Mayo man out of Mayo but you can't take Mayo out of a Mayo man.:D

    Are you from Canada by any chance?:) I did read his post but still disagree.Rooney didn't have the right to hit Vaughan.He wasn't physically provoked and had he punched Vaughan,he would have been in very big trouble.Again,I'll state that if you do not have the right to do something but do it,you will be reprimanded,disciplined and punished etc.

    We'll never know exactly what O Hara said but to publish such a point of view from a person would need certainty.If I said to a reporter/journalist/interviewer that cannabis was harmless,he'd hardly publish that I think it should still be legalised.

    Its the " had every right" part I disagree with while I do admire Rooney for sticking to principles.Its seems fairly straight-forward this interpretation of what O Hara said about having every right to do it.

    Hang on there Blackbelt...
    We might have the Mayo part in common but I would firmly be in the Anti Dub camp. Remember John Finns borken jaw in 1985 match against Dublin.
    Now don't get excited I am also fiercely anti Cork (1989/1993), anti Meath (the ******* robbed us and got the big fellow sent off). Actually I am pretty anti everything/everyone so I can't be accussed of being selective/racist or PC.

    BTW Eamon O'Hara would hale not that far from your granddas home place (about 8 miles depending on the road me thinks) so go easy on the lad.
    He expressed an opinion.
    He is outspoken and unlike a lot of the dribble that is uttered by other intercounty players and other sportsmen, he is usually direct and no holds barred.
    Look at a recent interview where he stated his opinion on the ref that sent him off, by mistake, last year.
    It is direct and straight, but he wouldn't be getting any christmas cards out of it.

    Anyway I am mighty glad to see the boys over the border doing well.
    They were unlucky few years ago against Armagh and it would be nice to see them get one over Cork.

    Actually Connaught is the only province, where over last 15 odd years all counties have won title.
    We are very sharing down here don't you know.

    I am not allowed discuss …
