Are Mayo too nice?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Readandgreen, my point is this. You are recreating discussions from some time back. The sight of a Kerry player trying to get a man sent off by feignimng injury sickened me as well but he is a class player and I will not let an isolated incident cloud my judgement. Where are your postings praising Dooher, Cavanagh, Jordan, O Neill or Conor Gormely They are non-existeent becuase you only look to the negatives. On the day after Mayo opened the football championship - you make these postings. It show what your interest in mayo football is i.e. none. You really do sour milk.

Redandgreen You have a very valid point, but unfortunately to some of our Northern Colleagues it falls on deaf ears. Ignorance is a terrible thing

If you think Kerry were pure class last year and at no stage did anything to embarrass themselves, then what is the point discussing these things. You know full well, that Kerry, and each of their opponents, were involved in a number of unsavoury incidents last year, yet you are pretending they didn't happen to make out Tyrone are the one and only evil in Gaelic football. Why is this?

Don't fool yourself into thinking this stuff doesn't happen in games in every corner of Ireland. Even in Kerry, even in Cavan, even in Mayo and you know it.

Lads, i never tried to demean tyrone's achievements. Ive already stated on here numerous times what a fine football team they are. The likes of dooher, mcguigan, o neill, mulligan, jordan, two mcmahons, cavanagh, all class footballers. I would never dispute that and i actually like to see a team not afraid of kerry and well able to match them and indeed beat them. But the behaviour of some of your players - not all of them - is out of order. Im not talking about isolated incidents. This is constant bad behaviour im talking about. Its just a pity they have to resort to it thats all

But you can look past the constant un-isolated incidents involving certain Kerry players and label them pure class.

Don't get me wrong, Kerry are GAA legends with legends like Gooch, Declan O'Sullivan, Marc O'Se, Donaghy et al. Players i've bags of respect for but what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Tyrone deserved their A-I's this decade. They earned them every year they won them, and while I don't know their panelists personally, I'm not blind to quality of their football, or their tactical awareness. Kerry deserved their A-I's this decade too, and they also deserved better games from both Cork and Mayo in those finals, than they got - it wasn't Cork or Mayo's lack of ability to play football that made it easy for Kerry, just lack of being able to handle the occasion. They can both put this right... the Ulster teams were just as bad before Down broke the mould in the early 90's. As for '96, the stats say Meath won that A-I. They proved in '99 they were a good side by winning another. It's time to move on, learn the lessons from past mistakes, and take nothing esle from it. The A-I is there to be won again this year. There are many sides with enough football in them to do it, but fewer who'll have the nerve when the big games are there to be won. That's where Kerry and Tyrone stand apart from the crowd right now...

I'm starting to think you're from Tyrone or something i.e. trying to stir things up in order to lose credibility for the anti-"nordern" view.

Breffni - getting past redandgreen's Kerry comments (which I appreciate were a little silly in light of his other comments on Tyrone on this thread), you surely can't condone the attitude of some of the Tyrone players throughout the championship over the last number of years? Ricey in particular?

Not just in All Ireland winning years either lads, before anyone thinks I'm belittling any achievements, it's not just in successful years that this stuff happens. Every time Tyrone play you just know there's going to be an incident - either directly from a Tyrone player or as retaliation to the constant off the ball stuff that goes on from their players

So much rubbish, so much lack of knowledge,

Ive seen quotes of Mayo are too nice, unwillingness to cheat, give me a break,

Theyre poaching Players across the SLIGO border, ie Bellaghy whats that then? Being nice.

Breffni39 County: Cavan But you can look past the constant un-isolated incidents involving certain Kerry players and label them pure class. What constant unisolated incidents are these? Kerry, like any other county have the odd isolated bad incident. Ive no problem with a player that just loses the run of himself when caught up in the moment. They get punished, just like galvin, just like o mahony. But a premeditated plan to go out onto a field and laugh about your opponents and give them sneaky digs off the ball and tap in the groin???!!! This amounts to the same thing??? I dont think so Its amazing to see the way ye are so blind to this. Tyrone are great champions, im blue in the face saying that. But some of their behaviour is atrocious in my opinion. Even colm o rourke, who wasnt exactly a shrinking violet on the pitch, called mcmenamin's constant behaviour a disgrace. That's coz o rourke played like a real man

That's coz o rourke played like a real man How do you know the constant incidents involving certain Tyrone players are pemeditated and the constant incidents involving certain Kerry players are heat of the moment? I'd say there isn't a single championship match where Galvin, Dara O'Se or Aidan O'Mahony weren't involved in something off the ball. These lads are sinned against too, and not just from Tyrone players. A Kerry player dives and Kerry remain "pure class", a tyrone player does and they get pilloried for it. McMenamin is indefensible at times, but likewise Galvin. Dara O'Se got sent off against Cork for striking in retaliation. WHat did Pearse O'Neill do to cause it? Nothing it seems as only Tyrone players do that. I'm not at all blind to what Tyrone players get up to, particularly in matches against Cavan. But like I said, from watching football for years, I've seen every county up to it at different stages. I'm not having a go at you redandgreen, your well able to discuss these things. I wouldn't waste my time discussing it with paddyogall or Toma007 so fair play to you.

Breffni39 County: Cavan Posts: 566 280916 Get a life will you breffni.Red and green the reason you cant put in hits in the game fairly now is because of tyrone,they were not able to play the game the way it shoud be played if you put your hand on them they roll around like a baby,ive seen tyrone players going down coming back on with head strapping even though the tackle was no way near the head this team are into letting referees think there being hard done bye.Tyrone have no friends in football i dont theres to many oppisition players who would sit in there company anywhere.They put in way more late tackles than any other team,theres no tyrone fan on here that will critcise there players for there carry on on the pitch, why your wasting your time replying to them i dont know,you come from a great football county and some people think its important to win the right way.I put 1 comment on here and im called a disgrace thank god im a Dub ,

"They put in way more late tackles than any other team"

Let's ban Tyrone from tackling! Especially against Dublin.
