Everyone involved in the melee should be suspended from inter county football for the rest of 2022.

Kildare must be a decent bet at 11/4

Mayo groundsman has been admitted to St Marys in Castlebar, all of his hard work getting the pitch ready and now its full of dead patches where Galway players lay so long on the ground they killed the grass. Thoughts and prayers.
Only taking the piss Galway people, fair play on the win, Cian O'Neil showed his worth with the tactic of blocking up the "Mayo attacking" channels with the wing forwards. A joke that after so many years managing at a high level JH couldn't find a way around it but there it is. I dont rate O'Neill, I'm sure hes worried, but hes become such a journeyman at this stage its a bit of a joke. I think thats all he will contribute positively to Galway this year.
The backdoor will suit Mayo if the injuries clear up and they could find themselves in a semi, however I said there was no point in Horan coming back unless he had improved his tactical abilities and was willing to be less stubborn and listen to others. Neither has happened so Mayo wont be winning any All Ireland this year and thoughts must start to turn to who next. Problem is there are no obvious choices unless we were willing to go mad an look at someone like Jim McGuinness. Not sure he would be an answer either, I believe, as much as it pains me to say it, if they had been playing any other top team of that era except James Horans Mayo they probably wouldn't have won that All Ireland. I know they beat Dublin
The answer to get over the line last year was getting in Rochford for 3 weeks before the All Ireland to help plan the tactics, I think Sam would have been nestling in the West now. It was wishful thinking of course because JH would never consider it. I dont know if Rochford is the answer either but we do love to go back to a previous manager in Mayo (would that be the 5th time?) so who knows

I have to say about Mullin too, and I said it last year, there's far too much pressure on him. He's been made out as some saviour of mayo football but we really haven't seen it from him.
He hasn't been very good this year. He was very poor in last years final, and didn't really feature before that. He did decently as a new player in the 2020 final when nobody else really played well. But I think expectations need to be reigned in a bit.
My starting half back line, all fit, would be Durcan Coen McLaughlin. Have Mullin on the bench, a bit less pressure, and let him really up his game to win his place

To me it looks like one of two scenarios has occurred.
Either the kids have been removed because they have prioritised soccer which makes me question the professionalism of Offaly in dealing with kids.
Or
Offaly demand professional levels of commitment from 13 year olds (and the reason for missing the session is largely irrelevant) which makes me saddened at the approach being taken to an amateur sport.
Either way I don't think Offaly have covered themselves in glory here. Poor kids

Philly McMahon has a column in today's Irish Independent. In it, he makes reference to the scuffle in the tunnel that happened in the 2020 All-Ireland Final. Philly says that Cillian O'Connor had just missed a free before half-time, so when O'Connor walked by Philly, Philly reminded O'Connor of the miss. Three Mayo players got thick, there was a row, it blew over.
The funny thing is that Philly told a different story at the time. He was a guest on Off the Ball the Monday after the Final in 2020 and, when he was asked about the row, he said it kicked off because the Mayo players asked Eoin Murchan to do Elf on the Shelf and Murchan wouldn't. This is the link: https://www.otbsports.com/football/philly-mcmahon-tunnel-dublin-mayo-1125574
So what I'm wondering, I suppose, is if Philly was lying then, or if Philly is lying now? I hope it's now. I loved that Elf on the Shelf crack. Bad luck for the Indo's credibility, of course, if their new columnist is telling porkies, but I suppose it's hard lose what you haven't got.

Is he not talking about when Aidan O'Shea came onto the field at the end of normal time last year?

All Ireland football final next year set for July 24. The provincial championships draws on November 27th
Is this a joke ?
Why would the GAA consider this, let Soccer and Rugby grab all the limelight for All of August and September, Folks at RTE must think all their Christmases have come at once
