2017 All-Stars

[TheGreatest]

Found the interview by Lyster with Jim Galvin - with Jim Showing off his medals for service a bit of an "[i]up his own arse[/i]" moment! That and the way he danced around questions with the Bertie Ahernesque stutter!

Think your been very harsh on Jim. Is very passionate about his job and is most certainly not not up his own arse.

Yeah agree, some people just cant help themselves when it comes to him.

I wouldn't worry about the begrudgers. Jealousy no doubt plays a part. Id imagine if Gavin had have been managing Mayo the last few years, the curse would have been well and truly broken

Not if he had to play Dublin every year.

I don't know. With teams so evenly matched a manager can really make the difference

JivGavin got his changes right for the final replay last year. The less said about Rochford's crazy decision to drop a solid keeper for a back up with a history of big game errors was the difference last year

Does people in 2017 actually believe in curses?

Muttley wouldn't have as many medals!😁

Jim's medals remind me of this:

wasn't Dermot early wearing his medals as well  ?
maybe all army guys do it
as well and the GAA president

Yeah, Dermot Earley had 3 medals too. Looked to be the same 3 as Gavin. Earley also had some class of gold rope hanging down from his left shoulder.

Earley is still serving, as he's on a leave of absence rather than retired, so he was wearing his army dress uniform.

Gavin just had his medals pinned on a regular tux, as he is retired from the Defence Forces. It's quite normal for retired military to do that.
I think his medals signify a deployment to Liberia or Chad. Earley's were different, as definitely included Lebanon.

probably not but it is still talked about. However, that part of my comment was tongue in cheek

Seems like they do, unfortunately. Not that anyone would admit it openly but it's hard for many not to believe that Mayo's bizarre run of AI looses can be put down to bad luck alone.
For those who still believe in pisreogs and superstitions and the likes, and there are many of them, there's something unnatural about Mayo's knack of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
My father told me that the craic about a cranky priest being disturbed during a funeral mass by the motorcade of cars passing by his church at the time could never had happened. For one thing, there weren't victory processions of that sort at that time. People didn't have the money to spend on fuel unless it was absolutely necessary and hawking the cup and the team from town to town would have been a luxury that most people could not afford.
Apart from that, Padraig Carney, one of the players still alive, said that the team returned to Mayo by car. Some had their own cars, while the rest got lifts but they didn't travel together in a group either. Still, there are people who believe in this nonsense and I'm afraid that the players are only human and might be affected by the bad vibes coming from some of the supporters.
