way too much talk about Mayo and it seems to be coming from everywhere but Mayo. Brolly said this Mayo team would never have beaten any side from the past 30 years or so in a final, that is some u-turn on his earlier gibberish, amazing how he gets away with it. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1669 - 05/07/2018 18:38:05 2118895 Link 0 |
Don't blame Mayo at all for sticking with the players that kept getting them to finals and nearly getting them over the line. They had a freak run of injuries this year and were always going to struggle because of that. Sadly I think they have missed their chance now as some key players will be a year older or retired altogether next season. It's hard to argue that they didn't deserve at least one All Ireland but sport is a cruel game and they just didn't get the breaks in the big games. The comparison with Dublin and Kerry isn't really fair I don't think. Those teams are far and away the most successful in the game historically speaking, and they have a conveyer belt of talent at the moment after unprecedented underage success at U21 and minor level respectively. Without doing a detailed analysis I would guess that the rate of player turnover in those counties was nothing unusual before that. Kerry have dipped badly after great teams in the past as well, after 2009, and after the great team of the 70's and 80's. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 05/07/2018 19:01:16 2118905 Link 0 |
Pathetic article from Breheny, 7 odd paragraphs he has been storing for 3 years since the Connelly/Holmes debate. We all know Mayo need to find a couple of players but they were hardly going to gut the panel after the performance in the final last year.

There is also a thread on Galway home page regarding the Galway Footballers homepage.....99% of people do not agree with their recent posts and most agree that they should make themselves known to be 'unofficial'

Brolly is gone so far at this stage all you can do is laugh the way he changes his mind so often. There is an obsession with Mayo from outside the county. Wish we would just be left out of it now and let us rebuild. Talk about what teams are left... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11231 - 06/07/2018 12:31:33 2119107 Link 2 |
I think Mayo need to forget about Mayo for Sam and try and win Connaught again, that's not going to be easy though as Galway have a great team and look set to dominate the west for the foreseeable future. Hard to see the point in a lot of the older Mayo players continuing, it's time to rebuild. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2748 - 07/07/2018 14:11:21 2119339 Link 0 |
Name me a county that wouldn't take new blood ? Dublin try to shape their squad consistently,but the real question re Mayo is are the players there ?how successful have they been recently in minor and under 20-21s , had they beaten the Dubs last year and Not has the horrendous injuries we may all be singing a different tune , hindsight is the language of the fool , as things stand they look stale this year , weary even , having taken more punches than frazer took from George it's no surprise. They will regroup and be back may take a bit of time as the Rossies and Galway are more than up to their standard now Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 07/07/2018 17:48:47 2119369 Link 2 |
Agreed. No more than the thread about Rocheford's tenure which was started before the final whistle was even blown (slight, but only slight exaggeration). They were beaten after while playing their third game in as many weeks on a pitch that was recognized before the game as one that wouldn't suit their style of play (not meant to take anything away from the Lilly Whites, who played a great game). It's not the end of the world, and maybe might be a good thing. The team has the summer off, time to relax, get back with their clubs, spend time with their families and take a breather from the cauldron of inter county football. They'll be back. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 07/07/2018 18:56:57 2119401 Link 1 |
Joe Brolly is so obsessed with Mayo you'd swear he was living there. Mfs (Mayo) - Posts: 251 - 07/07/2018 23:48:14 2119488 Link 0 |
Lee Keegan is to appear with Brolly on the Sunday game next week.

Good grief man, your own county has been filleted in their last two meetings with the Dubs having been talked up no end! Mayo just lacked a killer forward or two to KO the Dubs and that's all there is to it.
