There isnt a defender worth his salt who doesnt pull and drag, keegan gets highlighted because hes a fookin class footballer

[Syferus]

No, he gets highlighted because he pulls and drags. This isn't complex..

[seafoid]

The Dubs are missing their full back and have injuries to a few key players
so maybe this could be the year

A double of galway hurlers and mayo footballers would be glorious

There would not be an empty pub from Portumna to Belmullet!

There was a fantastic day in 2001 when Athenry won the club hurling and Crossmolina the club football. A Connacht double.  Unforgettable

I preferred 2013 with St Brigid's and St Thomas'

That was another great day. I was in Athlone not long after and the posters would do your heart good.

The first time I was in Croke PArk for SPD Nemo Rangers beat Clann and Midleton beat Athenry
It was so depressing.

That's no defence. If you're caught speeding it's no use telling the judge everyone else us at it
Pulling and dragging is still illegal and cheating.

Play the game with skill and flair
But most of all play it fairly
Win and lose with equal grace
Play the game like Dermot Earley

Is Rochford on a three year 'deal', as such?

From the examiner link above

"Still, Evans predicts Mayo to advance to an All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry. "I have been a fan of them but when I say that I don't mean wearing their colours – I just have massive admiration for their unbelievable endurance and never-say-die attitude. Their resilience is incredible"

The "deals" are normally 2 years with an option of a 3rd year. 

[Jinxy]

I presume it's game over for him if they lose tomorrow.

[Syferus]

I'd say Aidan will still be managing them next year.

[Rossfan]

Can we match their new offer for McS/McH?

[Syferus]

Poor Liam has been shown more love in Roscommon the last four years than he ever was serving with distinction for his county.

Evans was a good league manager.

Do I sense a nervousness from the land of stolen sheep . Aye I thought so.

Terribly neverous. We've so much to lose.
