Record breaker Jamie Vardy? A Vardy party tonight!!

Two more games to beat the record. The way Leicester play is ideal for Vardy if he played with United under that low risk system he would struggle to score at all.

[Well, you can take solace from the fact that he is not a Mayo man.]

Things must be bad when Sligo people start sledging us.

Well, you can take solace from the fact that he is not a Mayo man.
There is nothing in what sligoman has said that I could disagree with.
Remember the reaction on the Mayo manager thread when I suggested to the squatters Rossies camped there that you could well do with forgetting about our problems and take a look at your own. I did say, once or twice, that ye should think Niall Carew and not Stephen Rochford, or whoever takes on the Mayo job. Ye got too big for yer boots last summer and paid a heavy price.
Sligo will be ready for ye next summer too and ye'd need to cop on and take things one step at a time  and not to spend yer time fantasising about Mayo and what Kevin will do to Stephen and that sort of ráiméis.
Bejaysus, you'd think I had stolen yer blasted oul' bus!
sligoman is dead right about yer "ill-conceived arrogance" and that's the main reason some of the less charitable Mayo posters delight in taking the piss whenever your buckos start throwing shapes.'
Now, we played Sligo also last summer and beat them well but the difference was that there wasn't a single Mayo poster who started slagging off Sligo's chances before the game or who gloated at their loss either. We treat them with respect because they deserve it. You can take it that I am not having a go at you or any other Rossies for that matter, when I say that the furthest we will be looking is the game against London when the championship comes around.
Apart from a bit of good-natured banter with Sligonian from time to time, I don't think I ever had a flame war with any Sligo poster. (BTW, we are good friends.)
Same goes for all Galway posters also and while I am at it, for every poster who joins in on Mayo-related threads no matter where they are from. I can't recall any rows with posters from any county bar your own. An odd sharp exchange of views perhaps but no ongoing nioggly, schoolyard arguments.
Can't look west all the time when you want to blame somebody for everything- look closer to home sometimes.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. What Sligoman wrote above is almost a carbon copy of what Larryin89 would write.

With home Wolfsburg,PSV games to come United are on the verge of an early champions league exit.

A lot of empty seats at the Emirates.

And to think the GAA men in suits want to copy the champions league type format.

The exhibition game last Saturday was nicely set up for a big lad like Aidan O Shea to stand out. I don't think he's mobile enough for Aussie rules.

The biggest disappointment in Kevin McStay's GAA career was not getting selected as Mayo senior manager last year. http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/football/snub-for-mayo-job-kevin-mcstays-big-regret-366719.html

The pressure is all on the Mayo players next year if they don't deliver Sam it will be time to replace some of those established players. Rochford should get 2 years at least and I can't see the Mayo county board getting into a habit of regularly changing management.

Dunno what Perez thought he'd get when appointing Rafa but he's starting to see. They were absolutely awful.

Was Perez thinking at all when appointing Rafa? His recent CV should have meant he wasn't the right manager to ever improve Real Madrid in the league.

Top of the table clash next Saturday... Utd v Leicester!!

And will it be the game to give Vardy the outright record over Van Nistlerooy ??
Would be ironic.

Football was played before the premier league. Jimmy Dunne holds the outright record of 12 games.

Joe Brolly thinks GAA footballers take the sport too serious nowadays isn't he the same guy that said Galway senior footballers didn't take football serious enough two years ago?

Anthony Cunningham didn't hold back on that statement last night will be interesting to see if the Galway senior players will react with a statement of their own.

Another that didn't hold back was Ger Loughnane today. He said Cunningham brought the Galway players to the water but they refused to drink. He also said whoever takes the job next will need his head examined.

[handpassing the ball across the half back line]

For example- wax lyrically about beating Dublin and nothing about losing to Kerry because he lost it on the line.

The rare mistake by Paul Durcan is the prime reason for Donegal losing that All Ireland. Not much the line could have done to prevent that.

nothing to do with handpassing the ball across the half back line while being 4 points down.......

Kerry did most of that in the last ten minutes, a case of what we have we hold. Donegal scored 0-12 in that final which was the same total as Dublin scored against Kerry in this years final.

Trump opens rally in Texas by noting Paris has tough gun laws: "If they had guns... It would have been a much, much different situation."

Who are 'they'? The people at the concert? The fans at the match?

Is the man completely insane?

This is the man Stew called a Democrat BTW, so we have to assume Trump is a moderate. God help us.

Not sure who is the bigger gobshite, Trump or the person that will buy his BS and will vote him?

Not easy at all, near impossible in fact.

It might be in the pipeline but the current scheduling for underage players isn't going to change anytime soon and if player welfare is a priority then the near impossible will have to be made possible.
