Was that what Cillian had a few years back that needed the operation to clear up. Leroy is an awful loss but if we get everyone else fit in the next couple of weeks we'll be there come June and beyond. At least he will be able train as long as it's non contact so a fit Lee would be a major boost at the business end. Fingers crossed and all that.

Cillian dislocated the same collar Bone twice hence the op was then needed. Player health is above anything in my book...hope the lads recover well. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 21/03/2018 21:18:36 2086793 Link 1 |
the public want some decent analysis not mundane mind numbing soundbites and complete nonsense..flynn has absolutely no credibility as a so called pundit...remember his ludicrous comments about aiden o'shea signing autographs for children...this man has nothing to offer in terms of critical analysis

100% agreed. I have nothing but massive respect for those Mayo players. Some very good players & tremendous characters. For the life of me I can't understand the stick they get. They might not ever get over the line in terms of winning an All Ireland but I for one will always remember them as a great side.

using "if" and "guarantee" is not much of prediction. Mayo will be hard to bate in May for sure.

In fairness if I was a sport journalist/pundit/waffler and needed 500 words for my editor by tomorrow, I can always fall back on writing about Mayo. Just dust off an article I or someone else wrote a few years ago, change a few names and teams and hey presto: instant "End of the line for this Mayo team" or "Early signs this could finally be Mayo's year" article, and money in the bank.

Flynn was top drawer on the field but a poor pundit. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 22/03/2018 23:16:18 2087140 Link 3 |
Mayo are an easy target for fellas like Flynn. Dublin were fodder for years in the Noughties and plenty of pundits couldn't wait to trot out the same old waffle. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 23/03/2018 08:14:41 2087163 Link 0 |

I'm resigned to the fact we will be an object of mockery until we land Sam. That said we have a lot more to shout about than the vast majority of counties. We have played in a THIRD of all senior football finals since 1989 and lost them all...I am not sure there is another team in world sport with that kind of record? As you say the Mayo story fills column inches and is fancinating for many. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 23/03/2018 13:13:59 2087243 Link 1 |
Anyone who mocks Mayo and what they have done over the years knows feck all about football. They are a model of consistency, just as much as Dublin are because both take different routes but end up in an All Ireland final to fight it out and they have put up a hell of a fight on each occasion. Fair enough they didn't win one but they have a lot to be rightly proud of.

I certainly don't consider Mayo an object of mockery. They are a fine side that probably should have at least one if not two All Ireland championships. They are most unfortunate that their team is around while this Dublin side are at their peak. Keegan, Boyle, Higgins and Moran are all fantastic talents that any county would gladly have. That finals record is extraordinary. One team in sports that must come close is the Buffalo Bills who made four consecutive Super Bowls in the 90s and lost all of them. In both cases it's a huge achievement to get that far, but it's cold comfort to the fans and players who endure such disappointment.
