Such absolute humbug. not only is he being forced to stay on but the are legally obliged to shove money in his pocket to do so.
this guy will give Putin bad ideas . he has been a millstone around the mayo football teams neck for the last 4 years what ever about his organizational skills and probably cost mayo it 2 best managers in the last 50 years not to mention the destruction of the hurling team with his constant sniping and penny pinching and slitoar counting and now we have to pay for the privilage. Has this been the plan the whole time to build a county board white elephant as a tribute to themselves at the expense of mayo football .

pride before a fall .
smart arsery is just doesn't suit me.

[the ship]

how can he be ratified if the agm is not taking place till december

[Barney]

Skewed democracy

[rosnarun]

maybe because its an emplotment rarher than a ratificationn decision that it can be done at any time. though would feeney not have been on the board that made decision.
and while were on the point what was the criteria used to appoint this employee. was it advertised . were there any other candiates interviewd/considered. how much is he being paid . how many hours wiil he work. what exactly will his duties be.
thes guys should remebr they hold these post on trust for mayo GAA not as a mutual appreciation society.
they need to be kept a close eye on as some of them have a very checkered history in business though most are exemplry character whoigive their all to the GAA but Counter checks are important in all Assoccations

[mayoman dan]

Whats the problem with this Feeney fella? Does he interfere with team selections training etc...?

[the ship]

the high point was when he told the hurlers they were training too many times a week and using too many hurling balls and hurleys and then went and sacked the hurling manager who was the most successful we had in years(frank Brown manager of the mayo ladies )and the only thing he did wrong was to stand up to them

The football lads will I'm sure have their own horror stories

[rosnarun]

there was also the time he tried to involve Mayo Gaa in an anti Traveller march which in the end had to be called off as it was rightly being described as racist.
Also he undermined Maughan when things were going very well by saying we were playing the wrong typr of football and producing the wrong type of play and tried to organize a coaching scheme to play kcik and rush football which he declared to be mayo traditional style. He doesnt even seem to have carried thogh with that.

[Farrandeelin]

I was saddened to hear of Eamon Mongey's death yesterday. RIP.

[Barney]

Yes, Eamon Mongey by all accounts was a great leader and wonderful midfielder who always supported the green and red whatever way possible once he hung up hit boots. RIP.

Any word on Pierse Hanley?

[intoDwest]

When does the panel go back training or has it already?

[Barney]

I think they went back 2/3 weeks ago but have had training programmes since August.

[AbbeySider]

I think they went back 2/3 weeks ago but have had training programmes since August.

I dont think all the players are back yet Barney because a lot of them have club commitments.
I think he bought a few of the younger lads back earlier than the rest.
