Does anyone know the other semi final of the intermediate in connacht ?

In fairness not too many on here have said that Mayo will win the AI next year, what is significant is that JOM is on board for three years and that may be what it takes to turn this team in to a team to win an AI, i dont know. Take Tyrone, they bulit on the success of the 2001 u-21 AI winning team and brought it foward to the senior set-up, also the players involved were been conditioned from under-16, some of them at least. I also agree with okey dokey that some good club players cant make it in the senior setup.... Every player mentioned on this thread has been given a chance one way or another in the senior setup. The reasons for these good club players not making it can be wide and varied and sometimes skill alone is not enough.  The first 22 players on the senior panel are as good as we have in the county i think and the other 8 positions are there but only for good club players who really shine between now and next april. No matter what manager takes over whatever county the first 20 players rarely change and in Mayo it will be no different.

Such shite that we have to read. Build a bridge and get over it.....as a GAA person i cant wait for croker to be opened up for all the world to see what a great organisation the GAA is. Time to move on from this old religious bigoted shite regarding the GAA that some posters seem to love to stoke up at every turn.

I agree Barney, if there are two or three changes to the Mayo fifteen next year that will be about all. Regardless of pepole say the best 30 odd players in Mayo bar one or two are already in the panel.

Yeah, Jimmy isnt cut out for the chb anymore, these young lads coming up are too fast for him.....I know how that feels believe me!!!!!

Valid point there.

RE; players, i think we are short an enforcer type player in the full back line a bit like the role that DOB played in the All Ireland in Sept.
Also a target men is needed in the full foward line,maybe T. Mortimor could be used in this role. If Jimmy Nallen retires, that could leave a bit of a hole. A lot of ifs,buts and maybes here, i say give it until after the first couple of league games,then the picture will be alot clearer. Last year we re-ignited Kevin o Neill maybe there are one or two Kevins out there still under the radar.Finally the one thing i am confident in is that any player out who shows a bit of form and has the appetite for the work required will be given every chance and that is the legacy that M and M have left us. We are not that far from the top 3 in this country regardless of what the Ulster threads on here say!

Martin Carney as the video analyst, Keiran Gallagher and Tommy Lyons are the Selectors...Finally we have the dream team. A new era begins....I'm delighted and full of optimisim for the next few years regarding Mayo football. YES!!!!

I dont think JOM is the type to take up the Mayo job just to gat elected... It seems there always has been unfinished buisness between JOM and the Mayo football set-up. In fairness JOM has been involved in Mayo football since he left the Galway set-up. In one respect it feels a little like Roy Keane returning to the Irish team after the Mick Mc Carthy setup. Personally i am delighted,I just hope the CB will row in behind him as the Galway CB did when he took over there..............Time will tell.

It would be great to have this experienced team to have on the sideline...I cant wait for the FBD to start!!!!

Speaking of the Hogan Stand, some of whats on there is unreal 

I heard over the weekend that David Brady is going to be the third selector instead of T.J. Kilgannon!

Yeah, Tourmakeady won by 3 points following extra time. Tourmakeady were down to 14 men for the entire second half following the sending off of David Prendergast. its on to the Connacht final now for us.

Mayo news by a mile.

Well done to Tuar Mhic Eadaigh yesterday. A super game,end to end and some super football. TMK played the best football i have seen all year from any team in the first ten minutes of the game. Parke fought back and came from 1-4 to 0-00 to go 2 points ahead with 6 minutes to go. TMK then came back and drew level again, Adrian Dolan then kicked a huge point form 45 yards out over near the sideline to win the game. Super stuff from both teams. This is TMK's first title since 1982.
