Often heard the word gobdaw.
It means someone isn't as bad as a gobsh1te, more of a nice eejit type.
And then you had the gibbadauns, too. Plenty still roaming the countryside.

I've very quick to 'pick' on a lad who rounded on his own players after a match? What Dineen did was worse than anything McStay has done.

McStay's biggest problem in the media is he's been too honest, that he doesn't just offer the trite nonsense you hear from others.
QuoteCalling that xenophobia is as bad as those who wanted Stephen Fry charged for blasphemy. I'd use that word for real xenophobia (ie racists who don't want refugees on their shores). What happened on Shannonside was a co-commentator expressing the opinion that he didn't like Mayomen in charge of Roscommon, based on the amount of players they'd alienated. Everyone agreed it was a daft comment. But it was an opinion and for McStay and Roscommon County Board to ban all interviews with Shannonside was an over the top move. And the interview with Marty after the match in the hail was another example of using the media to make all the focus on his place of birth and not address the frustration of Roscommon supporters losing talented players like the Dalys. The ban is more absurd given that the Mayo players objected to McStay and McHale because of comments McHale made about them in the media and McStay said god bless their sensitive souls or something to that effect. Well god bless his own sensitive soul.
Shannonside never retracted Gay's xenophobic rant as far as I'm aware, which was the only condition they needed to meet for relations to be repaired. Why they haven't says more about them than it does about McStay, to be honest.

Where you got the idea that the Daly situation is the personal criticism I'm talking about, lord only knows. What I'm talking about are the cheap shots at McStay without any evidence besides he was born in Mayo is beyond me.

My only agenda is for Ros to have their best players on the panel, properly trained for Senior IC football, with some semblance of a game plan and tactics.
I haven't seen much evidence of that this year but live in hope.......
Meanwhile you continue with the hero worship and attack anyone that doesn't blindly have the same view.
What you call hero worship is done who has continually criticised our defence and lack of conversion up front.
The real problem you have is I'm not a walking caricature that's willing to make snide comments or basically attack the manager on a personal level because of a few bad results.
Some here would do well to remember this is just sport and we're talking about actual people.

Half time New York 0-09 Sligo 0-11. Sligo experienced players kicking important scores from play and Sligo have the wind advantage in the 2nd half now.

The reaction in Mayo to this has been and continues to be head in the earth stuff. Ye are the reason lads like AOS/SOS and COC/Dillon felt so entitled that they thought they were bigger and better than the people brought in to manage them. Acting like AI winners off the field, but something far less on it.
If in business, a manager does not have the support of his/her most talented employees, then that manager would be likely toast. You seem to go out of your way to defend managers who have lost the dressing room. You are definitely County Board material.
You realise they were four up on Dublin in the second half of an AISF replay, right? Keep trying.

Has anyone ever stayed in Ashford Castle, what was it like?

Ref doing well here.
Needs to keep a firm grip on proceedings.
Up Ros.
I'm sure the Dublin media will be crying about something the ref did in the morning even if they end up hammering Kerry.

From a Sligo viewpoint I'm genuinely worried about the New York trip. If they're as good as they were last year I think they'll beat us. I'd assume that would give Mayo a bye into the semi as there's no way they'll travel. You just don't know what NY will be like until well through the game. Will be some bittersweet history made with lads who came up through our underage ranks in the club on opposite sides which never happened before and I hope doesn't again.
We were iffy at best during the league. I couldn't see any evidence of progress or a plan/system. Hard to see that being put in place but having the new blood of several U21's on board might provide a spark.
I'm nearly sure there was something of a rule change for this year, that if New York did win a preliminary match, they would not be able to play. Whoever they beat would play in their place. Roscommon had a lucky escape from the Bronx last year!

Mystifying why Assad would turn to chemical weapons at this point within the overall context of where the military and environment has moved to.
