anyone have an update

barry will never get pissed off all he wants is the glory and nothing else

thurles never got near de la salle 3 points just after half time was as close as they got should be agood game would have to fancy the dubs though

county board meeting tonight at 7.30 pm with the hurling clubs should be good fun

Its good enough for the County Board the control of crowds in Castlebar has long been a disgrace and an embarassment. I know its innocent fun but the fact that hundreds of kids can storm the pitch at half time is a bit of a joke.

I suppose the €5,000.00 will probably be given to the Dubs towards their holiday fund or something to help them win Sam 

i counted 20 kids at half time

how will they do on saturday aginst thurles cbs any views

MF still a problem. McGarrity not playing well and still needs more bulk. But he has to start. Showed a new aggression though the last day. Parsons leading the chase to partner him. I would still probably go with Harte, but he needs to up it a gear. Has loads of ability in my opinion.

McGarrity is not bulky enough to stand up to the likes of Dara O Se. He'd really need a younger version of David Brady beside him to do the grunt work.
For that reason I'd be hesitant about placing Tom Parsons beside him as they are quite similar in both build and temperament. The same could be said fro Barry Moran and Kieran Conroy. Maybe Pat harte would fill the bill here- if he cools down a bit; he can be very impetuous
I'd stay with the present HB line up. I'd also go with Cunniffe and Conroy. Unless Johnno begins playing a settled formation soon the championships will be upon us and he won't have a settled team this year either.
Put it another way, I'd pick the strongest side possible for the Kildare match and then leave it up to non-starters to try and wrest a place on merit and stop chopping and changing about.
Austy seems to fit the bill at FF. Heaney-Howley-Higgins looks the strongest combination at HB. Conroy seems to be the best bet for FB that we have seen so far and there are a few others I have in mind also.
Why not let them settle down and get more experience of playing in their best positions, unless loss of form or injury causes changes in their selected positions?

Are you  the same as the one on the mayo fans.com? If you are I love your banter with the bucket.

thank you mr heiniken for your good wishes and may i add mine to roscommon and hope that it wont be long before ye are competing with mayo at hurling and if i can be so bold football again.

the genfitt cup was originally a junior championship played by all the senior clubs with the only rule been that the county champions could not play 7 of their starting 15 from the previous years county final reason for this was at the time toreen were dominating hurling in mayo and winning everything so it gave all the other clubs al least some chance of silverware.

In thepast few years with toreen dominance waning they brought in a rule that any players on the county team would not be eligible for genfitt cup so as to give all the other playetrs on the club panels some game time and to releive the pressure on the county players during national league season both good ideas but for some reason now after all this time the county baord in their wisdom have decided that to play this competition its going to cost each of the clubs an extra €1000 on top of what they have already paid.

i dont know what the wider world out there thinks but we that are the coal face ,its just one more knife in our backs to try and stop hurling flourishing in mayo,i could tell ye stories of things they have done but would probably be sued left right and centre but beleie me its true,to be where we are in the hurling world is truly a remarkable achievement considering what is done to stifle us in mayo and at connaught council level

he was one of the finest hurlers of his genertion and a lovely unassuming man as you are likely too meet a true gentleman of hurling

mayo 2-17 rossies 0-9 now my friends i really dont want to say i told you so but what the hell "i told you so" 

heard he's not a bad footballer either

should be a good game  kind of a b connaught final mayo to win and relegate the rossies happy days 

dont worry mr prenty is not one bit nterested in hurling in mayo or anywhere else for that mater you can be sure he has an agenda, ask the hurling people of ballyhaunis who have had to suffer under his regime and do they suffer
