.

it will be ironic if Munster and Leinster have to go to england to play their home quarter finals, seen as rugby would be described in some circles as a West Brit game kinda like going back to their roots really, so they will feel right t home on the mainland :D :D

Hurling Discussion / Re: Greatest skill in hurling

The trick is to losen the grip at the top of the stick and bend the knees. If you can do it without breaking stride it gives you at least 4 yards of space and usually a path to goal


Is it possible to bend your knees and run at the same time.

for a  corner forward anticipation is the key everything else is a bonus

what in gods name is downtown black pudding debate are they referring to Mick Byrne's on a Monday night where everybody gets black pudding etc and talk about football.
BTW i never said we did not deserve SAM i said it would be a long time coming which is true and everybody would hope SAM will come to mayo but you can bet your bottom dollar with that county board shower still there they will always be something in the back of our minds that they are only waiting to ruin things again

you are right football is king in mayo and that is the way it was, is, and always will be but all we want is fair play is that not much to ask for, maybe to some it seems to be.

how could you have an argument with people who don't believe in justice luck or good fortune but i forget ye are men of faith.

There would be uproard, and rightly so.  But nothing should be allowed detract from attempts to win Sam.  Nothing.

So all the hurling people in mayo BTW who are born and bred mayo people not some aliens from a foregin planet have to be sacrificed so that SAM can be brought home how sad that is, and I'm sure the vast majority of mayo people would think the same.

If natural justice is to prevail then my friends SAM Maguire will be a long time coming home.
You cant treat people the way mayo hurling is been treated and expect good fortune and luck

yes the problem is that the hurling people have no money every penny that comes in for hurling is lumped in with football money and used for football purposes.

I will give an example helmets and Hurley scheme 1/3 of what they got was given back to the clubs where did other 2/3 go. Mayo this year got more than €80,000 from croke park for hurling from what we know from other sources, take sponsorship in consideration and mayo hurling as probably making a profit but according to our friends in the Ku Klux Klan(mayo co board) we cost €140,000???  how can you win

I have it from a reliable source  that the two reasons that they cant publish are as follows
(1) That they played an under 16 player in the u21 final but were only informed of this 20 minutes before the throw by the county board officials who indicated they were not sure whether he could play or not.
(2) and wait for it this one is definitely a sackable offence on an away trip the manager and selectors did not travel back on the bus.

If that's true about Frank Browne that's a disgrace, surely they're hoding fire until they can strike the co. board at the appropriate time?
By the way bucket- watch the Blind Optician comments, you may be slighting someone's competence, in which case one may have to fire an abacus at your good self..

we have moved on from  the abacus and bye the way it was not his competence as an optician i was calling into place ;D

There is  no hidden agenda against Mayo Hurling by the County Board, it is quite blatant out there in your face agenda against  hurling in mayo.
The problem here is that it is not costing a quarter of what they are saying it costs because they will never disclose to the hurling clubs what money they got for hurling in mayo, we know they are getting quite a considerable sum  which is not been given to the hurlers but used for football purposes

there was a whole page on the sunday star yesterday, mid west does not even know hurling exists, local papers useless,  who knows maybe we can follow cork and go on strike but would the football lads support us??
