Who's been nominated so far does anyone know

[maigheo]

no body has been nominated yet so all this talk of Connelly having got the job based on his bookie odds is not true.

I wonder could we get installed as CB chairman for a couple of years!?

[lynchbhoy]

any other candidates?
What about Dermot Flanagan - hear he was a great man to train and motivate Ballaghadreen this year (and in a prev year).
An extremely passionate man on football and Mayo football.
very astute and most def not a yes man.
prob wouldn't be looking to break the bank either.
wouldn't tolerate any BS though.
A leader on the field and a man who could motivate and lead the Mayo squad right now!
imo

Nah, McDonald was a baller. Might have liked his flash fashion but a harder or more committed worker you were unlikely to get anywhere. Rarely gave interviews and a tough man to boot, down the bottom of pipe trenches most days before training and then go bust his arse playing ball. Unlike that other clown who thought the whole thing was about him.

James Horan on Donaghy

"[ON DONAGHY] We had been on the road for four years at that stage and it's laughable to suggest that we had no plan to deal with a situation, but those kind of comments don't bother me. I've heard suggestions that we should have put the two O'Sheas or David Clarke on him with Barry (Moran) in goal and Jason Gibbons sweeping in front of him. Mad stuff.

"Look, forget all this talk. We had numerous plans to deal with all situations and Ger Cafferkey is a superb full-back, end of story. The supply of ball into their full-forward line was the problem. However it's time to let that go and move on."

what I said after the game

People talked about sacrificing a midfielder on him e.g AOS but that would have been sacrificing your best player and would have been an even more obvious suicide.The problem wasn't the full back line it was the delivery. The delivery was good and consistent and that all stemmed  from us winning midfield. It doesn't matter who you are talking about, Cillian O'Connor, JOD, Donaghy..if you get that much quality ball you will clean up.

just sayin, like....

[Syferus]

Problem was always in midfield. No full-back would live with a malfunctioning midfield meaning balls like that repeatedly dropping in on top of you.

[blanketattack]

"I couldn't believe it at first. Croke Park is the place where everyone wants to play – it's the place where the big games should be played and suddenly we were packed off to Limerick.
"Kerry had played there regularly and were well used to the place and we, rightly, questioned why it hadn't been scheduled for Thurles or another venue if it had to be taken out of Croke Park.   

Kerry have played there once in the last 8 years. 11 Kerry players were playing there for their first time at senior level with maybe one other game at underage if at all.
Hardly what I'd call regularly.
