Well done to Mayo.

This and previous years shows the provincials mean absolutely nothing anymore. They will be scrapped eventually.

First of all, Andy Moran is after saying at the Banquet the importance of having Paddy Tally and Paul Durcan, outside voices that were able to challenge the Mayo way. Do we need this? I think its clear that we do.

And with the reports in the county (Brian McEniff article) that Jim is looking to take the U20'a is similar to the model implemented in Mayo, where they have the same S&C and all those services, alongside Keith Higgins being the 20's manager and a selector with the Seniors. Is Jim looking for a similar connection.

Finally, congratulations to Mayo.

Yeah,too unbalanced to lead to an all Ireland, everyones route needs to the same if you call it the all-ireland.

Both All Ireland winning managers this year had the humility to bring in an outside coach to offer a different perspective. Something to consider for ourselves perhaps.

The County is almost broke and the expenditure on the senior management team is already through the roof before taking it some guru 100 miles away. Lets focus on the Convoy project first

There was a strange randomness to this years Championship, a lack of consistency that made it feel more like a lottery at times, extremely difficult to predict games. It felt like no team could implement any kind of control consistently, which left it wide open.
