Football yes hurling they would be disowned

there is no separate county board for the hurling just a sub  committee with no power and no money, the one we call the verger is a football man true and true as we welll know to our cost ,

Get a copy of dads army and you will spot him immediately, thick rimmed glasses and stupid expression on his face just like our friend

hi folks,    im intersted to know more about  THE VERGER ?   is he for real ?

the verger is a very real person the arch enemy of mayo hurling along with the mayo county board.
he gets his name from an actor  who plays the verger in dads army who is a dead ringer for him.
if you are from mayo or connaught then you will recognise him immediately.

last night the mayo county board struck again and mayo hurling is today without a manager, as frank browne was told at last nights meeting that his services would not be required for the coming season.

When asked why?  this was the reply given was that they spent too much money on Hurley's a figure of €2000, cost too much to bring players back for training and they  found 15 sliothars on the sideline one day, while all this was going on the chairman(who is on the HDC) and secretary of the hurling committee sat there and said nothing.

How sad that in this day and age that people such as these can be allowed to kill off the great game of hurling in mayo and make no mistake this is their ultimate aim.

any news on the frankie and the blind optician were they reappointed for 3 years without a review

Tipp people are arrogant any way would not matter even if you were from kilkenny or cork they would still think you were not good enough as for limerick a bit of a joke when it comes to hurling nowdays all they can talk about is Mick mackay.
As for what the kilkenny man said ignore everything you hear from a kilkenny man,the biggest shower of whiner you will ever meet.

'nobody cant stop us winning SAM in 2007'

I take it from the double-negative that you're lacking in confidence there bucket?

Whats a double negative (2 people from the north  )

surely as a mayo man you should know a lack of confidence is part of your genetic make up   

Any news on the management set up for 2007,?

Are 2006 management been reappointed or have they found someone new?

Jom on board, a new gym  opened in castlebar to put muscles on the boys, the county board behind the manager, god on our side and in the  team,  surely nobody cant stop us winning SAM in 2007

Keith Higgins is one of the finest hurlers in the country and he is not from the elite.
How insulting of anyone to say that about your son, Dublin were one the best hurling counties in the country and seem to be on the way back so hopefully you and your son will have a chance of proving the snobs wrong.
What county were these people from who insulted your son.?

did ballina beat westport by much, toreen won 4-9 to 1-3

I know castlebar did take part at u12 level and under 14 level in galway this year, and competed well.

Pointing the finger at Galway for our hurling woes is a bit rich surely....??

we are not blaming galway for all our woes, the question was asked did galway help in any way and was answered that they never helped and its a bit rich when you hear all the galway hurling people criticising the rest of gaa for not helping them when it comes to hurling and they completely ignore everyone else in connaught" reap what you sow"

we dont need any help from anybody else, all we want is to get the county board and the verger to stop hindering us. we tell that to everybody when they come to mayo but nothing is ever done.

yes you are correct 6 senior clubs plus 2 other clubs which are just juvenile clubs only as yet. we get no help from our neighbours in galway, less help from our own county board and coonaught  council led by the verger are out to hinder us in every way they can, other than that hurling was never in better shape in mayo than it is now
