Replying To baire: "What about 1974 when the Dubs beat a good Galway team in the All Ireland final, when the Hill 16 mob were throwing bottles and missiles at the Galway full back line and not a word about it in the media or in GAA headquarters? It wouldn't suit the narrative. I agree re Keady, that was vindictive and shameful. Roscommon voted against him playing as well. We won't mention the county that initiated it!" Not sure about 1974 I was only a kid but I remember 1983, queuing up for Hill 16 at 11.30am and the Galway supporters train had stopped on the bridge above us. There were cups of tea, sandwiches and whatever raining down on the Dublin fans. Not mentioned in the national media either, funny auld game! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8752 - 05/08/2021 22:42:00 2368151 Link
Replying To avonali: "Jesus , Flynn is a beast of a lad right enough Mick. Very impressive. He shunted Cooper out of the way as if he was a kid. I like O' Se- great honest footballer - but I doubt he has the skills and pace of Flynn." Agree Avon. Flynn is i unique. O Shea very good but Flynn a different player completely CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3918 - 06/08/2021 00:08:11 2368171 Link
Replying To Mailman98: "There wasn't a sheet nor a pillow case that wasn't flying from a window in Castlebar in September 1998 and when the Tony Keady vote was cast in 1989 Mayo voted against him playing. He lost by one vote. Never ever forget. Tony certainly didn't." I remember 1998 in Mayo very well and I can say truthfully that I never saw a Kildare flag or pillowcase (what sort of deluded nonsense?) Flying anywhere in mayo at the time. I have been reading the forums for a long while now and I feel that Galway contributers have become very bitter and even more deluded. Deluded in the sense that they see themselves as capable of competing with Mayo/Dublin/Kerry and seem to think every year that Sam will be coming home to Eyre Square. I don't see why, if you take Shane Walsh out of the current team they are no better than most of the teams in Leinster. Unsullied (Mayo) - Posts: 18 - 06/08/2021 00:12:17 2368172 Link
Can't understand why Kildare tried to do a Westmeath on Dublin and keep score respectable. At least Meath had a cut and apart from two very dodgy penalty calls game could have had a different result. That been said as much as I'd love to see Mayo win I can see dubs putting down a marker for Kerry. Dublin by 5. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 06/08/2021 10:18:31 2368188 Link

A Galway player lying on the ground and one of your heroes kicking him in the head comes to mind - funny auld game indeed! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 06/08/2021 10:39:30 2368194 Link

Replying To timmyhogan: "He got a boot in the head and yer not lookin at it HE GOT A BOOT! Tis on the camera ye cant miss it He got a boot Yah Well .. twas .....whatever you call it" I will never stand over dirty play from any team including my own but the the Ciarán Duff incident is over exaggerated. Yes what he did was wrong no doubt but it was nt really a kick it was a flick of the leg not done in malice but more to get the player away from him. Stupid yes but not as bad as it looked and there was no contact made. The Galway player (O'Neill) admitted this afterwards. Duff got very bad press over this for years and it was hard on him.

I know Dessie Farrell had a thankless job coming in after Jim Gavin but the Philly McMahon story is a bit strange. Doing an interview with the media saying he doesn't know whether he will be involved against Mayo and will have to speak to Dessie and to Bohs to see what will happen. This and the Cluxton story are definitely a sign that the current management don't have the same control over the players when it comes to the media.

I only caught a snippet but thought it was a bit bizarre going on Mayo local radio unless he was one to talk about his charity work? He mentioned the game and the Mayo crowd...colour, atmosphere etc. Anyone catch the full interview? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11564 - 06/08/2021 16:09:47 2368276 Link
All is not well in the Dublin camp, that breaking the lockdown rules and being caught training early in the year too wouldn't have happened under Gavin imo. Dublin are weaker this year, if they retain Sam it will be a great achievement for them as things are. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3187 - 06/08/2021 16:51:48 2368278 Link
