Surely ye could setup a support group for the Roscommon lads, the fella from Leitrim and the lad from Wicklow who seem offended at what? mayo celebrating? Sam on tour in America?
Had that "Good luck Kerry" song been taken off the Frenchpark roundabout yet? Looks a bit silly now.

Replying To Cbar: "I don't see Mayo folk moving on from this anytime soon.... and as the Ross man said, imagine living next door.
I think 5 books and a play have been written so far. I am just waiting for the county board to get Mel Gibson to come in and make a film about it." And rightly so, what a brilliant victory for Mayo. Keep celebrating as it was well earned

Replying To BigSur: "Hope ye were all out yesterday doing the club 5k for the county footballers holiday.
81k raised so far.
Interesting to see the gaffer McHugh has brought in a whopping 15k so fair play.
Some players have faired better than others - it's all very public but maybe that's a good thing.
I believe the destination is Florida for a week departing early November.
What a year they gave us so fair play to them." The manager obviously has wealthy contacts, fair play to him. What exactly is achieved by publicly disclosing how much each individual player or mentor has raised? One person might raise €15,000 through business connections, while another might struggle to raise €1,000 despite putting in considerable effort. Publishing those individual numbers invites unnecessary comparisons and potentially embarrasses players. Surely the collective amount raised is what matters rather than turning fundraising into a public league table. Again, it's a poor reflection on the County Board when players who have given so much of their time, effort and commitment to representing their County are left to fundraise for their own team holiday. After all they have achieved this year, surely they deserve some recognition and appreciation without having to go looking for financial support themselves. The Kerry team headed off to Florida this morning on their team holiday, I very much doubt they were out running the roads trying to raise money for it. And don't even get me started on the Centre of Excellence, that's another conversation entirely. We talk about developing football in Westmeath and competing with the best counties in the country, yet we are still asking questions about the facilities and long term investment needed to make that happen. The players are doing their bit on the field, but where is the same level of commitment off it?

Replying To Mick1234: "How will the Downs do next week against the Longford champions?" Clonguish are a decent side albeit with a younger average age I'd say compared to The Downs.
Clonguish have just won their 6th minor championship in a row plus the junior A and surely favourites for U20.
Quite a few county players too from minor U20 and some senior.
A serious test for The Downs in my opinion and they won't be taking anything for granted.
But they have a hungry and talented group that should get the job done.
Loughlin, Lynam, O'Sullivan, and Drumm are all county starters plus Mitchell, Nolan, the Martins are a strong spine.
Throw in former county U20's Moffatt and Mullen, ex county keeper Martin and find of the season Murtagh you can see why they have just done back to back and 3 in 5 years.
