The rebirth of Mayo football started in Irvinestown with a victory over Derry in the U21 replayed final having beat Kerry in the Semi Final

John o Mahoney was manager

FINAL (REPLAY): Mayo 1-8 Derry 1-5 (Irvinestown, 30/10/1983). MAYO: Gabriel Irwin; Peter Forde (0-1), John Maughan, Eddie Gibbons; James McNabb, Micheal Feeney, John Finn; Sean Maher (1-0), Ger Geraghty (0-1); Padraig Brogan (0-3), Joe Lindsay, Noel Durcan (0-1); Brian Kilkelly (0-1), Tommy Grogan, Padraig Duffy. Subs: Kevin McStay for Lindsay, Martin Kearns (0-1) for Brogan.


In true Mayo form they coughed up a last minute goal in the drawn game in COS

a very sloppy 14 yard free i think.
that bloodline still going strong 7 or 8 of the descendants played in yesterday's Semi Finals
what happen Jonny Maughan John son fr Castlebar  is he injured this year or not around anymore?

Mayo lost Greg Maher just a few years ago

John Kerins and Mick McCarthy? were there others?

Mick McCarthy RIP  was the sub that came on a was incredible probably his best game ever for Cork.
the game itself was a fair loss Cork that little bit better

much the same team had really put it up to Dublin in 1986 so they were no on hit wonders

AS for hype 1996 was not a patch on it ,this was the era of Byrnes babe's and it seemed normal.
Every bar house shop in the county  seemed to be decorated
even after a massive crowd went to Knock airport to greet them. Good innocent times  had we known what was to come......

What a lovely Bunch of reactionary Tories
Over reaction to Criminal Problems have never been known to solve anything .
we are rant the no 1 friendliest place in the world and the 8th most peaceful but read the thread it peple aeem to think we are something similar to Elsalavdor or Jamaica
Educate yourselves before you write and never propagate fake news through Ignorance

Theres parts of Dublin and some other major towns and cities that are as dangerous as anywhere. Bury your head if you want.

maybe in small areas but overall we have les violence less shooting and a crime rate that is shrinking .
thats only the fact i know  mad rightwing bastards opinions are more more accurate

Diesel €2.06 in carrick on shannon yesterday.
too shocked  to see Petrol Price

Slightly off topic, but am I the only one uneasy with the idea of essentially giving citizenship & a passport for essentially making a "donation" even if it's philanthropic in nature? By all means if you choose to reside & invest in a business in the country where you provide a clear net benefit for local jobs & the economy then after say 5 or 7 years you can be invited to apply for citizenship on a less rigorous/fast-tracked criteria than normal, but "citizenship for cash" just doesn't sit well with me.

It is a donation and they are not gaining an automatic Passports.
they are getting residential right and I suppose after a number of trouble free years they like any other migrant can apply for a passport.
People are so Naively Cynical the cant accept some news is good anymore

Have been giving this a good amount of thought. What about a VAR type referee be brought into the game? Too many games these days have huge decisions made that are incorrect, shifting the momentum of the game. If a video referee was brought in, this wouldn't be the case and it also might take a bit of pressure off the actual referees. For example, Galway should of been awarded penalty in AI final then Kerry went other end and scored point. 4 point swing? Why are we allowing elite teams to influence referees to not give decisions for opposition #DaylightRobbery

What's next offside as well? The gaa will never introduce VAR. perhaps a second referee might help but again both referees will have different interpretations of the rules. Would need two whistles also...

Was offside not brought in in soccer to prevent blanket defences? That could be our solution right there. I can just imagine reserve league division 2 games being held up for a few minutes while a VAR panel in Dublin debates a tight call.

Off side was brought in in soccer to prevent a forward standing beside the opposition goal keeper and a team just hoofing the ball in to him every time.

which for yer was the basic job of a fullforward . still isin a lot of teams .
Really dont know how any onething following soccer rules would improve what they are whining about would improve things.
the slow languid play the constant sideways passing  is that not the problem people are trying to solve.
all that soccer ha contributed so far is tyrone 'Hair injuries ' and  Diving looking for frees and cards

Possession problem is easily solved . Just allow a fecking tackle . A good rough just short of dangerous tackle.
thats how any gobdaw hanging onto the ball refusing to play in football has always been treated

i dont know about any one else here but I love watching footbal and dont think there is a game to match it.
Saw all the Mayo Quater finals in mayo at the weekend and there were 3 very good games and the other was a tough turgid affair  but well watchable..
I thin went to Offaly ladies intermediate final a fantastic game and well Done BallinmereDurrow
Soccer is just boring and rugby has become regulated with in an inch of of its life

Watching The Wire, Stringer just got whacked, bad shit!!

Spoiler!!

spoler alert

Just catching up with Dallas  it was fecking Kristin

Can you get Brian Walsh hurls in the 6 counties ?

There is a northern agent for them i think they work out of dunloy but i havent been able to get in touch with them.
A shop local to me does the star, declan barron and used to have canning before they stopped, i dont like the declan barron hurls the shaft feels very rounded to me on any ive lifted.

His number is 07517 253589

Thanks kidder, ive tried it a few times and left msgs to no avail.

That's a strange business model 

is that not how all business' operate now.
As for ASH Die back ive been hearing about for about 30 years now  are any Hurleys made from Irish ash now?

Can you not change every time there's a  price increase as the contract you have signed up to has been broken?

You can only change if you are not in a fixed contract and unfortunately they are a cap limit on the number of switches each energy provider can accommodate on a monthly basis so it may take several weeks to switch providers if there is a rush

In ROI?

If a provider breaks a contract by raising their tariff in NI you're entitled to move without penalty, end of story.

i ddont know down here i had just changed too SSE for a 25% discount that was then risen was raised by 42%. but i suppose the main rates and electric irelND were raised as well but id nearly change again out of Spite

[maybe not of refs though]

If he was from your club how many people your club would give witness statements to the Garda or PSNI do you think? The answer is less than 1. That is the issue.
That guy should be looking at a criminal record. But is it any different from a corner forward striking the corner back?

The GAA are there own worst enemy on this. Shitty appeals, people getting off and it gives the impression that you can do whatever you want.

Striking a match official is worse than giving a corner back a belt.
Also Gardaí are more respected than PSNI. ..

How? They are both people. There should be no hierarchy.
That's an utterly ridiculous statement to make.

Rugby makes the distinction.

https://rugbydome.com/why-are-rugby-referees-respected-and-called-sir/

Its called Culture.

Culture is hard  to change and slow to change. But you have to start somewhere and I think a basic thing of getting a long ban and upholding the word of the referee on appeal are the small basics that make a difference.

very seldom you would see a rugby match and not have a series of assults, maybe not of refs though.
A lot of that is a lot of the refs they grew up with were the  'Masters' in their posh Private schools and it would not do to assult them

Complete and utter certified nonsense.

Rosnarun, that's pure balls and has nothing to do about ref's getting physically abused on the pitch,

not at all .
Rugby is such a small closeted world, every one knows every one and that leads to a form of respect.
and as for the the assaults' they just use different names for it .
Argybargy spirited  passionate being some of them.
