Great to see James Horan isn't finished with his quest to unearth new talent.

Our coaches got banned for breaking the rules. I assume the same pushiment will be dished out to all involved.

Not sure where I saw it yesterday but there was also a picture of three Kildare players training together who are also from the same club(think Athy) on a local community pitch.

Green&Red · 01-04-2021 9:05am

No more than the CEO of the Beacon they feel they’re above the rules

That picture was from June 2020:

I wish Dillon would **** off.

He's nothing but a puppet within the party.

I always think he was put in there because of the popularity of Mayo football, this carry on suggests he is playing up to that Audience,

Such ****e!

Exactly. He's making plenty of assumptions there and calling for full investigations into what is a trivial matter imo when all is said and done.

Nonsense.

I'd also prefer if Mayo GAA just kept their heads down and say nothing, don't get involved in it. Let's just concentrate on ourselves.

That's embarrassing imho. I don't follow politics that closely but this is the first time I've heard Dillon piping up about anything

Yes the Dubs were out of line and should be punished etc but the way this has been blown up is bananas.

Consultants doling out vaccinations to family members etc is a far bigger scandal than a few lads tapping a ball around in a park in Dublin.

km79 · 02-04-2021 10:53am

Agree with all.
I think everyone needs to be careful about throwing stones.It was stupid and irresponsible but it’s going on in every county . They were just the ones who got caught !
We are probably the second highest profile team behind them so I’d be telling the likes of Dillon and Brady to keep quiet !

It sure is, but I dont think this is as simple as a few lads tapping around a ball. Everyone has their freedom restricted, and many (including myself) are calling for restrictions to be relaxed and to be trusted to do things safely. So when the government confirms a date when the GAA can return so long as they do it safely, and the standard bearers for the sport show even they cant be trusted, its a big deal. This wasnt an impromptu kick about, it was an organised training session and Id doubt it was the first. If they want to be classified as elite, that brings certain expectations.

Not front page news, but its not nothing. I think most of these restrictions are pointless personally, but if the elite dont abide by them the rest of us are stuck indefinitely.

It was ridiculous of them to ever think they could get away with it. Mind-boggling stupidity from Farrell, unbelievable really. Still don't think it's a big enough deal for Mayo GAA and supporters to get involved with though.

Dillon looks extremely petty in all of this.

His whole 'job' is kind of superfluous really. Why does FG even have a separate spokesperson for Tourism and Sport? Kind of an

air about it...

Exactly. It’s going on everywhere, let’s just hope our county has no spiteful busybodies with cameras.

Not for Monaghan and by association not for the GAA nationally.
I often quote enjoy some of "Banty`s" antics, but at times he can be a bit of a headstrong eejit.

Probably not seeing as he was appointed Breaffy manager in February.

indeed. It seems there are certain twitter accounts looking to promote his departure as some sort of conspiracy (as well as to add snide comments on others) without copping the managerial appointment that would have driven this.

It's a shame these people have so much time on their hands. They should really find a more worthwhile use for their time.

I'm not sorry I gave up on twitter some time ago. I thought it would be a given (for everyone) that he'd be stepping down once taking the job.

seligehgit · 19-04-2021 7:38am

So we'll know the lie of land re our route through Connacht post the six one news this evening.

Draws have not been particularly kind to us in recent years.🤞

Is MacHale Park unavailable is the question?

That's handy, it's a while since we have avoided the other two before the final.

Not saying it was rigged or it wasn`t, but if you are going to rig something it is more than likely for financial reasons.
In which case it would only have been rigged for that reason, more attendants paying coming through the gates.

Hopefully if it was rigged then whoever arranged it has some inside knowledge as to what attendance will be allowed at games by the time the final comes around. In which case I would look on it as a small transgression for the greater good.

There isnt a hope in hell of a full house being allowed for the Connacht Final so it makes absolutely no sense, even if a small % of capacity is allowed it woudlnt matter who the pairing is, the demand will be through the roof anyway

Yeah I more or less knew that. Just wishful thinking on my part really.

The sooner McHale Park gets resurfaced the better. Absolute joke at this stage

4 ACL injuries that we are aware of in a very short period of time from that pitch.

Hearing he will have a scan on Friday so fingers crossed its not ACL. I hate to see any player inflicted by a serious injury like that, especially at his age it could be the finish of him and no fan of the game wants to see a player finish up like that.

Sadly there are far too many skanger-types (and some former players) that would only be too delighted for him to have a serious injury.

Those injuries especially if it's a ACL are more to do with the amount of twisting and turning players do than the quality of the pitch.

Twisting and turning on a bad pitch will see more injuries than on a good surface.
