When the 1st lockdown happened here, he gave I think it was €1M to family carers Ireland to purchase ppe gear and distribute to home carers that needed anything. Big box of gloves, masks, hand gel and aprons arrived here to me. Fair play to him, letter from him too in the box.

Here we go, finally.....

Still nothing stirrin?   

Some good news at least with the season ticket. Couple of my mates had lost some of theirs earlier this year, cancelled due to payment problems (in both cases it was a problem on the banks side). 9 tickets in total cancelled. Devestating for them as they'd had them since 2009. Low and behold, when they went to renew their own season tickets, the cancelled tickets were there again for renewal, thankfully!

"

However, a statement released to The Mayo News after the meeting by County Board spokesperson, Paul Cunnane, said: "In relation to tonight's meeting to respond to clubs, we received legal correspondence from Tim O'Leary and Eugene Rooney, and based on those letters we have now been advised that we cannot now comment any further on these matters."
The statement also said that: "There was a vote of confidence proposed in the Mayo GAA executive and board at tonight's meeting which was resoundingly passed by all delegates."
The Mayo News understands that a vote was also taken among club delegates present on excluding media from all future meetings of the Mayo County Board.
No members of the media were allowed to attend tonight's meeting."

"Statement from Charlestown Sarsfields GAA:

Following a County Board meeting held last night the 4th of November 2019 in McHale Park, a statement released by the PRO stated that a motion of confidence in the Executive had been passed with the "overwhelming support" of the delegates. We have been contacted by a number of club members in relation to this issue. It is our understanding that a motion was proposed by an honorary county board officer who is not a club delegate and seconded by a delegate, but that no vote was held on this very important motion. Our club delegate did not vote on this proposal nor was he given the opportunity and we would ask the County Board Executive to clarify last nights statement. We also cannot condone the exclusion of the media from last nights meeting and the proposal to ban then from all future meetings. "

MAYO GAA chiefs have denied claims made by clubs today (Tuesday) that a statement released after last night's County Board meeting in MacHale Park, Castlebar contained inaccuracies regarding a 'motion of confidence' in the County Board executive.
Charlestown Sarsfields GAA, Louisburgh GAA, Ballycastle GAA and Ardnaree Sarsfields GAA have all issued statements today (Tuesday) on social media in response to the Board's claim that: 'a vote of confidence proposed in the Mayo GAA executive and board at tonight's meeting was resoundingly passed by all delegates'.
All four clubs say that no vote took place on this 'motion of confidence' at last night's meeting of club delegates.
"We have been contacted by a number of club members in relation to this issue," read the Charlestown GAA statement.
"It is our understanding that a motion was proposed by an honorary county board officer who is not a club delegate and seconded by a delegate, but that no vote was held on this very important motion.
"Our club delegate did not vote on this proposal nor was he given the opportunity and we would ask the County Board Executive to clarify last night's statement."
However, in response to a number of questions put to County Board officials by The Mayo News this afternoon, Mayo GAA have issued a statement to clarify their position in relation to the 'motion of confidence' issue.
"After a lengthy discussion among delegates on how to move forward for the betterment of Mayo GAA, a number of speakers called for support for the Executive to deal with the matter," reads the statement.
"A motion for a vote of confidence in the Executive was proposed and it was seconded by a number of individuals. There were no objections raised by any club delegate to this motion. As nobody present objected to the motion in any way the motion was taken as passed by all delegates without a vote been required."
A proposal to ban members of the media from attending any future County Board meetings — with the exception of the County Convention — was also passed on Monday night after a show of hands by the club delegates.
Three of the clubs said they disagreed with this motion being passed in their social media statements — Louisburgh, Charlestown Sarsfields and Ardnaree Sarsfields.
However, today's statement from Mayo GAA said this proposal was seconded and passed 'overwhelmingly' by club representatives.

Time to get the popcorn out........

With all the talk of our lads winning this game handy. We're a team made up of young lads. Mayo have all the experience and now have the bench to win the tight games. Aidan O'Shea who has been player in the league is in the form of his life. Young lads like Ruane, Plunkett, Diskin and McDonagh have stepped up allowing Boyle and Moran to be impact subs. Mayo are the form team having beaten us below in Tralee. James Horan changed the menatality. Other years mayo looked down at league and Connacht titles expecting to peak in September. Are Mayo coming in under the radar??

No. They're washed up, worn out, too many miles on the clock, gone to the well too many times etc etc. They did too much celebrating too after the final. The cheek of them going round the pitch celebrating with the fans. Aido took too many selfies too without mr flynns permission so that's definitely put the kybosh on us

Has anybody seen the subs bench? I can't find it anywhere. An awful lot is going to depend on the options available to Horan during the course of the game.

We won't know the subs for sure till we get our mitts on a programe.

John was really liked by all supporters here in Mayo as well as all the squad. Its a pity they'd such a short stint here in '06, who knows what himself and Micky would have achieved if they'd a longer spell with Mayo. RIP John, condolences to all his family.

Did anyone have any issues with attendance being recorded a the Mayo Roscommon match? I have four and one didn't register. Considering the conditions on the night I'd hate not to have the attendance recorded!

All of ours scanned OK.  Went in gates 2 and 3.

I see Roscommon have confirmed the final will be in Tuam stadium at 1.30

Now that we have the match venue sorted, who's gonna foot the bill for the riot police in Newbridge, Croke PArk or Kildare CB?? 

John Prenty, Fergal McGill, Nicky Brennan, Rossfan, Ned Quinn, Dick Clerkin... can you hear me Dick Clerkin! Your boys took one hell of a beating!!!!

I cant understand how there hasn't been uproar over those comments from quinn about the fans on the streets of Newbridge.
