What tweaks do they need to win Sam ?
Don't change the goalkeeper in All Ireland replay. Don't score goals for opposition.
The should start another thread.
Better players
do everything 0.5% better

We'll see how he does with us in 2017 first.
Hasn't done too well to date.....

Not the players fault, they have given everything to win Sam. 100 % committed every one of then. You wouldn't see Aidan OShea doing tv ads like that Bernard Brogan lad. What's he ever done/won!!!
All management's fault. Should get rid of them and get someone else who can truly appreciate and understand the players. Bring back John Maughan.

Would you take H&C ?
Andy, Regan, three-way trade sending Seamus O'Shea back to Kerry with us getting Conor Cox. Done deal.
Keep doing what you are doing and Sam will be won. There are examples in other sports like Clermont in French rugby.

Quick question. I think it's accepted by everybody that's Bernard Brogan the past couple of years despite winning his 3rd and 4th All Ireland is not playing at the levels he used to. Do you think this drop off can be attributed to Twitter followers, TV shows and all his advertising work. If so do you think Brian Cody would tolerate this.

It might have something to do with him going 33. My PotY in 2015 too btw.
What about dropping AOS for finals ?

Well he had a right cut at King Henry before in front of the panel for allowing his promotional stuff to take his eye off the sliotar.

We all have to work. If some people choose to do some of that work in the public eye, so what?
Is unseen work not a distraction, while publicly visible work is a distraction? How does this thinking work? Do this all change after you win an All-Ireland medal and suddenly not become a distraction?

It's attributable to age in Bernard's case. Something that AOS can't claim.

Indeed it could be attributable to age but by some peoples reckoning if Bernard Brogan did not have 90,000 twitter followers and spent less time in the public eye despite his age he would be a better footballer and thus Jim Gavin is tolerating Bernard Brogan not playing to his full potential. So it would seem because he has a few All Ireland's won this is fine. What Im wondering is would this be fine for Brian Cody. Or maybe I'm picking this up wrong. Is it just young people with no All Ireland's that this affliction effects.
I'm also wondering could the bar stool sports psychologists on here enlighten us as to at what point does exposure to limelight have the optimum effect on a player. Like would 20,000 twitter followers have half the effect as 40,000. Would an after match interview for RTE have the same effect as a Newstalk radio interview. It seems Sunday paper interviews are not recommended but what about a few words for the local weekly. I'm also presuming shows like The Toughest Trade are a definite no no, but should O'Shea be cutting out all TV appearances.
Maybe the right job would be if Mayo could play games behind closed doors with no TV cameras. You know with all these egos flying around the place any bit of exposure could set them off
It's always the same . They can't score enough in the endgame. So close but not getting there.
