The FBD is worthless and should be discontinued. The McKenna Cup is the only one that seems to be worth anything but we should be looking to shorten the intercounty season and getting rid of this would be a start.

Agree. I don't buy the argument that it is a 'right' for club players to have a go playing against weakened county teams in a meaningless tournament.

I don't by that argument either. Bring back the old version of the FBD of one group five county teams 4 games each, whoever finishes top wins the cup.

Has Dillon retired yet?
in general Mayo plays dont do retirement they just stop getting picked .
i seem to remember bery few times an announcement was made. the Like of Mcarrity ,harte Colm Mc,K mortimer etc it was more of a case of coming near the summer realizing they weren't there this year or in   few cases like Mcdonald ,t howley and Trevor Mort we thought we'd see them again  but left without fanfare

Going by the Keith Higgins interview on the Mayo news they will be aiming to win the NFL instead of just looking to survive.

High profile players have to say that! It's to satisfy sponsors and boost ticket sales. Dublin will win the League again at a canter! They have the biggest squad to cope with the League and the knock out games are at home for them. It's set up for them and god help who ever meets them in the knock out stages - they'll go into the Championship an empty vessel from the hammerings!

Ah I don't know. As Higgins said less injuries and Castlebar players available throughout next years league should give Mayo a better opportunity to win the league and remember it's a national title and Higgins hasnt won any national title in his long senior carreer so far.

Dublin can't win the league every year. No semi finals in 2017 and if they finish 3rd in the group they would miss out on the knock out stages.

I see Keegan made the front of the Sunday World for smoking a ciggarette and pretending to ride a sheepdog. What a sentence to be able to write.

Yeah, the Dubs Love Keegan! :P

The Sunday World! Is Roy Curtis still giving his two pence worth on Man Utd, the Dubs, Rugby and anything else he can make a story up about?
It's a gas paper!

When I was a teenager many decades ago it was a great paper to find out what a pair of tits looked like!

Keegan could do with looking at a pair instead of trying to f**k a dog.

You should have as much disdain for them if not more after what they did to our lads 13 years ago.
