Everyone knew the fixture list apart from the GAA itself. It's down for Saturday on their own website. Haven't heard McStay mention anything about it, but sure that makes no difference to you. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 453 - 25/03/2023 13:16:59 2466441 Link 0 |

2019 the division 2 final was on the Saturday so it's not set in stone. 2023 is a whole new fixture schedule anyway so just repeating what was done previously makes no sense.

Haha....just had a look at this thread and the whining and whinging is hilarious over a trivial matter. Too many children being allowed access to screens I'm afraid. ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 658 - 25/03/2023 13:31:28 2466448 Link 1 |

Eh, blaming 72 years of failure on a fictitious "curse" maybe? One lad I spoke to even blamed it for two of your Audi ambassadors running into each other in Limerick in 2014... streaker (Galway) - Posts: 512 - 25/03/2023 13:34:30 2466450 Link 0 |

I could pick any county in the country and say the same for them in regards to playing victims? like why are Mayo in anyways special in relation to this? I could say Galway are victims because they complained about X, Cork are victims because they complained about Y, but I don't because that it just ridiculous stereotyping based on my own bias. How can you stereotype a county/football team/fans? do you know every one of them? have you tracked all of their complaints since origin of the GAA? have you compared their levels of 'playing the victim card' compared to other counties? lets see those data sets then if you have, because then we can actually talk like adults. The previous comment I was referring to is like something you'd find on YouTube comments or Facebook comments. The fact you tried to add your own deeply flawed logic to it and then refer to me as a teenager is just hilarious. nicko94 (Mayo) - Posts: 69 - 25/03/2023 13:42:09 2466453 Link 0 |

Just to show you how deeply flawed and biased your logic is (and the galway commenter).... Pick any county for me .... I can get back to you with copy and pastes of comments blaming officials/ blaming college fixtures/blaming all sorts for their teams losing... I would have an infinite supply of comments of people playing the 'victim card'... So remind me again....why is Mayo somehow special in this regard? nicko94 (Mayo) - Posts: 69 - 25/03/2023 13:57:14 2466458 Link 0 |

I think the records will show that i was equally vociferous in calling out the injustice to Mayo in 2014. I try to be consistent in terms of what is fair. But you have now reminded me about the outcry from Mayo supporters at the time, and they were right, because it was unfair...but the same Mayo supporters are saying now that they dont care about the fairness of the turnaround times, as long as its suits Mayo best . The same word keeps springing to mind...selfishness

Right... Will I delve into the current Galway thread or the ones of old? I wonder how many comments will I be able to find blaming everyone except their team for their losses over the years? If you stick around I can copy and paste them to you here or send on your email even. Even if I find dozens/hundreds of comments... I still wouldn't stereotype a whole county as one that plays the 'victim card'. Ridiculous logic. nicko94 (Mayo) - Posts: 69 - 25/03/2023 14:12:36 2466464 Link 0 |

https://hoganstand.com/Forum/Details/111756?Latest=1#Latest (Galway fans are blaming the referee for soft frees that 'cost' you lot the Ireland against Kerry) does this mean Galway are bad for victim blaming? or that just a special title for Mayo... https://hoganstand.com/Forum/Details/111648?County=National&PageNumber=0&TopicID=111648 so are all the counties represented in this long thread complaining about venues bad for victim blaming too? or again is that just a special title for Mayo... That's just from five minutes of looking. nicko94 (Mayo) - Posts: 69 - 25/03/2023 14:21:47 2466471 Link 0 |

Exactly. We've seen Jack O'Connor blame the referee after losing to Donegal this year. P Joyce moans about something after every defeat, including the All Ireland final last year. Imagine if James Horan or McStay did something similar? We'd never hear the end of it. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 453 - 25/03/2023 14:36:02 2466476 Link 1 |

I'd still have us favourites for Easter Sunday Endgame, but not as heavy favourites as the league form suggests. I remember that great Roscommon team of the 70s well. I started going to matches in the 70s, a barren decade for us. A brilliant Roscommon team and Gerry Fitzmaurice from Glaveys, about 6 miles from my home place. Old traumas has me programmed to never underestimate ye!

You obviously haven't seen the Mayo team named for tomorrow.

Incredibly Mayo didn't win a Senior Connacht title throughout the whole decade of the 1970s. Not a lot of people know that.! Galway dominated the first half of the 70s bar '72 which Roscommon won and Roscommon dominated the second half of the 70s. Sligo won a rare one in 1975 winning a replay in Castlebar.

'For some inexplicable reason' 'pure lunacy' - said poolsturgeon from his sofa. You ever think ...that maybe all those involved know an ungodly amount more than you do? Your view of things as merely a spectator gives you zero information on how the players feel day to day...for all you know all the usual starters could be dying to play again tomorrow and in great shape to do so.... Actually no.. poolsturgeon knows all ...maybe somebody should get you a position on one of the backroom teams instead of wasting your wisdom on Hoganstand. (Also the starting team has been named and its a second string team, so that goes against everything you were raving about) nicko94 (Mayo) - Posts: 69 - 25/03/2023 17:56:13 2466544 Link 0 |

My god you really are on some ramble. Instead of crying about why 'some' other counties in Ireland perceive you as complainers about incidents, why don't you look internally at your fans as to the reasons that's the case. Pat McEneaney recieving threats in the mail post the 96 all Ireland. A fan running onto the pitch in Limerick in 2014 and needing to be restrained. An orchastrated social media campaign against Diarmiud Connolly. Coining a nickname 'Dublin Joe' about a referee just trying to do his job. Thats just a few examples PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 277 - 25/03/2023 18:13:54 2466549 Link 0 |

BS post (not your first mind you, but usually you keep your lack of knowledge and information to the hurling), as Mayo has named only about 3 regular starters and the other 12 or so are fringe players.

The amount of outsiders triggered by Mayo is hilarious. If they don't do well in the league they are criticised for not building momentum etc. If they do well and try and keep winning they are slated for looking good early in the year. He has used a heap of players and has made a load of changes again on Sunday. They will probably still win as players are playing for places. At this stage I don't care.
