Mayo influencing referee

[Bart McQueen]

Mayo setting the agenda already trying to influence referee to counteract what the dubs done to keegan last year. James Horan done something similar in 2012 AND 2013 and Joe McQuillian gave every Mayo every 50/50 decision in both games. Will Rochford mind games work? We have seen Mayo players like Boyle, Vaughan, AOS and the Connors surrond referees in games this year to brandish cards to opposing players

Manager sticking up fow own players and team. Shock horror.  And is he saying he hopes there's no influence on ref this year?

I think Rochford has simply got his speak in just in case the Dublin media campaign starts again in the build up to this years final. Good management.

What connection is there between the shite you posted and what Rochford had to say in that interview?

[mayoman dan]

Its all about the inches.Rochford is making sure we dont lose this one fair play to him

[seafoid]

I thought this was another discussion about the rosary.

[tonto1888]

I don't see anything wrong with that

Well your own county man set the agenda back in the spring!! http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/there-was-an-orchestrated-campaign-against-lee-keegan-fitzmaurice-fuming-over-lack-of-balance-35594766.html ,
'There was an orchestrated campaign against Lee Keegan' - Fitzmaurice fuming over 'lack of balance'.

Actually my mistake sure Fitzmaurice is a Kerryman not a Dub!! Jeeze I made the same mistake you made yourself there Bart mixing up Kerry and Dublin

[Mayo Border]

You mean Bart McQueen is actually a Dub poster. From the Reservoir? Well I'd never have guessed

Dublin will do whatever it takes to win, buoyed by black card immunity, and that will mean loads of off the ball spoiling.  Mayo can leave no stone unturned on and off the pitch and if  that means alerting the ref to dublin's off the ball tactics then  fair play!

In fairness the Dubs are no better or worse than ourselves or Kerry when it come to off the ball stuff. I just want a ref who doesn't ruin the game and goes unoticed throughout the 70 odd minutes.

Played it growing up didn't you? Was there no ash trees near your club or something?

[Rossfan]

No hurley north of Fourmilehouse , West of Oran or east of Ros Town.
Hope all ye Mayo folk and ye're team's supporters in Ballagh will support the new barber there
