Mayo are the highest profile team to never win an All Ireland. GAA within the county is extreme and 24/7....I have lived in a few other counties and the goldfish like obsession is not in counties....or at least I have not seen it. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 20/03/2017 22:46:35 1969337 Link 0 |
yew-tree, how can you call yourself a Mayo supporter if you don't know that Mayo ever won the All-Ireland. FYI they have won it three times . s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 21/03/2017 03:30:16 1969357 Link 0 |
Hardly spouting up.. One or two posters having an opinion. Mayo are still the best team in Connacht, even if Galway bet them last year. However Mayo will want to show some form before they play Sligo in the Championship, going into that having lost 4 league games on the trot and relegation to Div 1 wont be heplful.. Galway still have an awful lot of building to do..

Current high profile teams I think Yew Tree is talking about. Dublin, Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry.

Who is actually making the management calls at the moment? Is it Rochford or McEntee?

That was a great Galway team with some class footballers. I was privileged to see them a few times. A team that would be great in any era.

God help us, Horan to be back again after he losing us 2 All Ireland titles, have you ever seen a manager in an All Ireland Final sitting in the dugout when his team needs changes and doing nothing, well I have and he cost us the chance to win an All Ireland that year riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 23/03/2017 20:32:55 1970534 Link 0 |

Rather than complaining about who's in charge maybe you'd do the job yourself or, at the very least, enlighten us on how things might be improved?

Hard to believe Mayo fans slating James Horan the man did an unbelievable job for with Mayo. Very easy to pick holes after a defeat we can all do that.

this is exactly what he wrote "Mayo are the highest profile team to never win an All Ireland" I mean you can't be clearer than that. That is not ambiguous. That states that Mayo have never won an All-Ireland. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 24/03/2017 07:31:01 1970591 Link 0 |
I think that's a good point re: the goldfish bowl like existence of a Mayo footballer. Granted Mayo isn't a county that I'm overly familiar outside of a couple of weekends away but I've yet to meet a Mayo person who didn't have an interest in the senior football team! People used to talk about all the hype getting to Dublin players in the past but I think they way in which the Dublin players can be completely anonymous (almost) up here is a big plus for them when preparing for big games. I think it was Denis Bastick said in an interview once before one of the finals that he could walk around the city centre all day and no one would be coming up to him asking about the big match. I doubt that is true of any of the Mayo players walking around Castlebar, Westport or Ballina for example. This is a very good Mayo team, regardless of how the League goes they will not be far away come August/Semptember. I've said on here a number of times since about 2012 that I think this Mayo team will win the All-Ireland and I stand by that. They're so close, the stars will align for them in the next couple of seasons. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 24/03/2017 08:01:21 1970593 Link 0 |
'I think Yew Tree is talking about' ??? Why are you replying to my post ? Apologies Yew Tree. I sound like my Mrs who knows exactly what I'm thinking. Thanks be to God she doesn't ! GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 24/03/2017 09:46:56 1970614 Link 0 |
