This is the most sensible article ive read on the whole debacle Ah_Here (Mayo) - Posts: 42 - 20/12/2016 18:19:58 1941253 Link 0 |
We can argue the toss Killarney all we like and we more than likely won't convince each other. Galway were in good shape before Tuohy who was playing extremely well and Joe Canning went off. It was a huge body blow and even then Tipp only just got over the line. I agree with you in relation to a Galway Kilkenny final. Not for a minute do I think Galway would have done to Kilkenny what Tipp did to them. Nobody has to play Kilkenny more often in championship hurling than Galway. When you lose on a regular basis it is hard to turn it around. If I had a penny for every time I have heard that phrase "it was a poor championship", I'd be minted. You eulogise Armagh. One of the central figures in that Armagh panel was a central figure in the Mayo management set up this year. I agree with what you say about Kevin McLoughlin. I also agree with you about Aidan O Shea but I honestly don't know where best to play him.Don't sell the Tipp footballers short. They are a good outfit. I was at all of Mayos matches in Croke Park this year and they played an awful lot of very good football. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 20/12/2016 18:23:02 1941256 Link 0 |

again why are you unable to debate the points raised?

Just looking at the Mayo teams photo they are badly in need of a major change...... a new matching set of socks for a start. kikfada (Louth) - Posts: 2091 - 20/12/2016 18:37:11 1941262 Link 0 |
have to say i agree with a lot of what the article has to say...good read, im generally more pro players when it comes to these kinds of issues..i have little sympathy for connelly/holmes....I was under the impression myself that james horan was popular with the players?

I doubt if anybody is laughing Yew tree. All true GAA men are saddened when GAA players, past and/or present get drawn into situations where hard earned reputations and good names are tarnished. It''s Mayo in the headlines at the moment but it can, and probably will, happen in other counties over the coming years. On a personal note, I remember when a friend of mine was removed from management of Mayo and it left a nasty taste in the mouth.

In truth Mayo didn't have to hit top gear to over come tipp were nearly sleepwalking at one stage they played better in two games in the final than the year before and with the forwards not providing enough scores. defence improved greatly against Dublin the two own goals we got blocks in or hands in where as before Dublin gots the goals with an extra man there to finish off and a goal in the replay from a penalty. Go away and grind your axe and keep telling yourself Michael quinlivan wasn't in lee keegans pocket in August!

Following Mayo is like Murphys law at times but at least we have the good days and we never give up. It's a bad taste in the mouth for everyone involved I think pat and Noel could have handle this interview better probably not mention names at least. The indo are milking this story for all its worth I wonder how much of the article is pat and Noel and how much is Martin breheny?

There's always an ex manager or ex selector or ex player there to open their mouth and seek glory!

You are mixing me up with Thiobraid, Greengrass. My point is the Tipp lads felt they let Eamon O'Shea down by not winning the All-Ireland in 2015. They took responsibility on their shoulders and didn't make any excuses for their loss or blame anyone else. With regards to this year, yeah I agree we were fortunate that the two Galway players went off injured, you take the breaks when they come your way. In 2015 there were one or two funny refereeing decisions that went against us but any Tipp fan I spoke after the game felt we didn't deserve a draw because Galway were the better team.

I have no axe to grind with Mayo. Mayo bear us fair and square in the semi final. In my opinion over the whole season Mayo were better in 2015 than 2016. The point I am trying to make is no Management team can legislate for how easy some of the goals Dublin scored against Mayo in 2015. The players have to put their hands up for that.

Hahaha. You are a gas man Lemon. I post a lot of responses in a short space of time because I don't spend the day on here. Have I missed something but is the purpose of a forum not to debate things and give your opinion to someone else views, especially if they went to the bother of expressing it in the first place. It would be really boring if someone started a topic and every other comment on the thread was "Yes I agree". I have simple opinions on this matter: 1/ The county board should have followed due process and interviewed all candidates for the Mayo job in 2014 before appointing Holmes and Connelly. This probably caused resent and distrust of the new management with the players. 2/ If the players had so many issues with Holmes and Connelly during the 2015 season they should have sat with them man to man to discuss instead of firing off a letter to the county board at the end of the season. 3/ Holmes and Connelly shouldn't have bothered making their views public, especially after 14 months. 4/ The players are right not to come out with a public response, things are bad enough as it is. The beauty for the players is they can do their talking on the pitch next year. 5/ The county board seem to be the lease implicated party here and I think they are the ones most at fault. Lemon these are my humble views. Feel free to disagree with all of the above as it's just my personal opinion, I won't take offence. For the sanity of Mayo fans I hope the county wins an All Ireland sooner rather than later. Happy Christmas all. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 20/12/2016 23:30:36 1941329 Link 0 |
