Replying To Belclare7: "Some delusion in Mayo since Sunday.. Reading on the blog this morning that Mayo threw it away, should have won, blaming management, players, and the referee.. Harping back to Gough admitting he got calls wrong last year ( when in fact he admitted to one call ) looking for any reason as to why Galway won.. When in fact it's as simple as Mayo are really not a good team.. They have not got enough quality forwards.. and they won't change anytime soon. I'd expect Cavan to beat them.."

You're obsessed with Mayo fans belclare. You pick out a few daft comments or ones you don't agree with and use it as a narrative. Your a wind up merchant like that lad "Finnster" on Twitter who's posts remind me a lot of yours. You'll see plenty of posts on the Mayo blog from fans saying we aren't good enough at this moment in time, not enough quality forwards etc, poor decion making and shot selection. I think it's also fair for fans to question management. Ye did plenty of the same here when Galway were going bad. Games are debated from a fans point of view, "there it away and should have won" you have a problem with Mayo fans thinking that? Mayo drew back level and had all the momentum, actually had more shots at goal/posts than Galway so actually yes the chances were there but we were not good enough to take them. Galway took theirs from fewer shots and have better clutch players in those moments. Ultimately Galway are looking to win the All Ireland and have every chance of doing so. Yesterday was our All Ireland as it's the only silverware we can win this year and a lot of frustration stems from that. So less of your high horse **. yew_tree (Mayo)** - Posts: 11557 - 07/05/2025 10:12:48 2607283 Link

In all fairness, that's not just one of the resident crackpots who's saying the things Belclare mentioned above That's the owner of the site who is using his platform to make things up about Gough, complain about Sundays referee, ignore the times Galway got screwed (awarding of ROD'S talked about free a prime example), and claim that Mayo should've won every game they've lost since day dot seemingly PressureKick (UK)** - Posts: 277 - 07/05/2025 11:03:17 2607297 Link

Provide an example. Every fan base has crackpots. But don't many fans view games through their own rose tinted glasses? I think the majority of Mayo fans know exactly where we are at the minute. Social media is a cesspool and I've seen plenty of rubbish spouted online by both Galway and Mayo fans in the past.

Too much misplaced negativity and strange hindsight versions of events that can't be fixed to help this team progress in the group games. We defended poorly. Why is a Galway man shooting on goal with no defender picking him up between him and goal? Whinging about soft, hard, medium penalty decision gets us nowhere. It was a penalty, Galway scored. Find out what happened before the foul and fix it. Too much being read into after a spirited better than expected performance. Kevin on again about not closing out games, same as last year! Same thing happened in Athletics Ground. Very good second half, fluted around the arc last couple of minutes and kicked it wide. Apparently he's hoping we'll be like Armagh of last year and close out tight games. Somehow we'll switch that on? Delusional stuff. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7959 - 07/05/2025 11:39:45 2607313 Link

Replying To suckvalleypaddy: "Gleesson saved our bacon again, Mayo could easily have won. We need Comer and Walsh next time" Heard that Comer could be out for a while again but can't be 100% on that. Walsh is fairly close I believe. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2383 - 07/05/2025 12:01:05 2607321 Link

I'm not talking about the comments, the actual blog, first link on the site, written by the owner. That's your example Obviously there's crackpots in every fanbase. I don't see people on here jumping to defend the Galway or Roscommon or Dublin ones, so unsure of why you're so quick to jump to get offended on behalf of other faceless people on a completely different website. It's not you personally that's being laughed at PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 277 - 07/05/2025 12:18:16 2607324 Link

In all seriousness I think a drop down to the Tailteann cup would suit Mayo for a few years.. They would be playing Leitrim and Sligo more often...

Replying To crankyincorofin: "What is the Mayo GAA blog?" A run of the mill moany supporter that set up a website in his mothers basement for other Mayo supporters to moan after matches. Has used his platform to get his foot in the door and be on the Mayo News podcast and write articles for them and he now charges supporters to listen to his content.
