would mayo be the 2nd best team in ireland over the last 7 seasons without Donie Buckley.........

and no he wouldn't come cheap at all but has moved them on from the levels of the rest of Connacht teams

more of a no 3 in mayo, Donie Buckley much more senior in the pecking order

i hear you....

the one i think ye should chase is Ryan Porter, has to be browned off at this stage with his Monaghan no 2 role.

Next appointment is crucial.  Is Eamon O'Hara a possibility?

Other names that spring to mind are Pete Mcgrath, Rory Gallagher, James Horan..

No comment or who's good or bad, just throwing out some names for discussion.

Rooney and Taylor would be very long odds imo

For me Horan, Gallagher, McGrath but i think Tony McEntee needs to be looked at, won 2 club All Irelands as manager of Crossmaglen and now has been involved as Mayo selector last 2 yrs, i want whats been implemented in Mayo last few yrs implemented in Sligo, there conditioned to a different level and that's a easy gain as any player can be conditioned to the max.

Its too early for O Hara, him and Rooney as selector for me, Rooney I think needs to be involved to help bring in the younger players, Rooney was already involved as selector and was putting things in place.

Taylor would not be a good appointment.

Tony McEntee has SFA to do with mayo's conditioning.... Sligo would be mad to even try getting him, ask anyone in brigids Dublin what he is like........... and ye dont have the owner of Coppers to tank up his considerable expenses

Minor is u17 next year onwards.

this was a one off competition to cater for 1st yr minors who would miss out next year effectively

[Apart from Cavan v Galway they all look one sided games on paper.]

Apart from Cavan v Galway they all look one sided games on paper. No odds on minor anymore but i can imagine Kerry v Dublin All Ireland final would be the shortest odds.

No apart needed.

Once again you get it wrong Sy.  What a biased idiot you are....

Sadly I put too much into them hammering Sligo.

Galway were targeting the AI and after returning many of last year's AI finalists, as well as the best minor footballer in the country in Evan Murphy. They will be desperately disappointed losing at the AIQFs.

Evan Murphy ahead of David Clifford ?.   A touch of hyperbole

Proper order its in croker

Top man benny thanks

Thanks benny i'Ll have a look for that

anyone any idea on how to stream sky sports arena given its not on  mobdro app ?.

Likewise sky sports arena jog of  my mobdro, the sky sports action is alright. Whereabouts did you find it macdanger

Syferus,

Is Roscommon legends gaa bigger than the stolen sheep place??

I don't believe it will be any bigger an  issue for a mayo player or supporter losing to us or anyone else. Their season is over whenever beaten

Despite the above, playing in Croke Park is a definite plus to Mayo. The pitch plays differently to others and familiarity with the effect of the stands on the wind etc only comes with experience. If it were not so we wouldnt see it as such an advantage to the Dubs.

It's an advantage to Dublin because they have 50k jackeens hounding the ref for every game, it's their home feckin ground.

Second biggest pitch in Ireland after Croke Park?

Dr Hyde Park..

Pitch with the most difficult wind?

Salthill..

Croke park barely makes the top 10 pitches in term of size.............its in the heads the problems with Croker are not in the legs
