You were the first to mention the B word. Straight red to you.
Also nearly two weeks away. What's the rush with this thread?
God,
We'll take relegation if you let us beat the badge kissing bandits (twice)
Regards,
Your Favourite County
Two weeks could be enough time to get Lee Keegan,Kevin Keane,Barry Moran,Aidan and Seamus O Shea back. Wouldnt tempt faith from the bunker heavy rain for a few days before and on the night of the game is possible in Castlebar also.
It's rhubarb vs custard.
Absolutely mouth-watering. Who will crumble first?

Looks like it's Mayo's time to get a few headlines again.
Can you really blame Freeman for finding out about these pressing work commitments when Andy Moran at 47, or whatever age he is, is favoured at FF ahead of him?

In fairness Freeman works in Dublin and is busy, its three or four years since he moved up, its a huge commitment to keep going up and down, especially when you don't see a starting spot
Best of luck to him, nice lad

To quote the sawdoctors, whose original drummer was from Ballagh - after Andy jumped about kissing the plain of the yews crest in Kiltoom, all his lovin' is gone.

Competing at all levels. Won Nicky Rackard, U-21B Hurling, All-Ireland Senior Football Final, U-21 All Ireland Champions.

I imagine Mayo's spend on their hurlers is relatively minimal though unlike in Galway where I'd say it's not far off 50/50. Vast majority of that total is surely being ploughed into the senior football set-up.
I knew Mayo would be big spenders but I must admit I didn't think they'd top that list especially as a football only county (with a small bit of hurling) ahead of the main dual counties and particularly the Dubs.

We've been through all that some weeks ago. I gave you a report from the Mayo News that emphasised that the €1.6m covered all teams, ladies and gents, boys and girls in all grades, including replays.
By contrast, the sheep shaggers spent €1,074,000 and had sweet FA to show for it.
Th'oul bus must be guzzling a fair drop of diesel. ;D
I believe (from reports of the agm) that some of the increase for this year is down to a correction from an accounting point of view - gear that Elverys sponsor is now counted as both an incoming (part of fundraising) and outgoing whereas previously it was just given without being accounted.
Regardless, the amounts being spent in general is unreal

It was the first year that Mayo ran everything through the books of the county board. So income rose massively as well. Previously money raised outside of the county board could find its way directly to the senior panel spend and not get accounted for on either side of the balance sheet.
The figures for county board spend do not paint a real picture of senior county team spend on the ground in the case of the big counties who can draw from external sources. Anyone relying on this article as a basis for their arguments clearly has no idea of what is actually going on.
the quicker that Croke Park take control of spending in counties the better along with income streams from sponsorships
it should be run like the NFL in america - resources allocated on the basis of need and success, coming mainly from a central pot

Do the individual county boards have to foot the bill for the annual trips to the Big Apple? It's a big mad if they do. HQ should pay for that imo. Taking an intercounty panel up to Croker for a game is one thing, taking them to another feckin' continent, is another thing entirely.
The Prenty Council give a grant I believe but it's well short of the actual cost.
Then again if you have 23 backroom, 26 players only plus County Board officers.........

Yeah there's definitely a special payment every year for whoever has to play New York. No idea of the actual figure.
Any county board that doesn't manage to come out a good bit ahead after the trip to the US is incompetent imo.

Most of our players spend most of the year living away from home
Backroom of 23 at least
Due to Croker bailout have to put everything through the accounts
Do the individual county boards have to foot the bill for the annual trips to the Big Apple? It's a big mad if they do. HQ should pay for that imo. Taking an intercounty panel up to Croker for a game is one thing, taking them to another feckin' continent, is another thing entirely.
How much did they raise in funds over there?
200,000 according to this and that money will go towards a training centre and will be named after the late Dermot Earley.

Dermots mum and dad left Mayo for Roscommon in the early 50s when Dermot was still in primary school and Dermots younger brother Paul who also played for Roscommon was born in the 60s.

It was always there, Farr. There's OAPs on both sides on the border who don't give a flying fûck about football but just want to see their county beat the neighbours. They're not the same ladeens writing on Willie Joe's blog or on Facebook groups..
The interest in the rivalry seems to be fairly one sided

Mayo topped the charts at over €1.6m, up almost double from 880k in 2015.
What in the actual fúck are ye at?
We've been through all that some weeks ago. I gave you a report from the Mayo News that emphasised that the €1.6m covered all teams, ladies and gents, boys and girls in all grades, including replays.
By contrast, the sheep shaggers spent €1,074,000 and had sweet FA to show for it.
Th'oul bus must be guzzling a fair drop of diesel. ;D
Must be getting a bit doddery in your old age, Lar. We've a brand new pitch to show for the money..
'Zat so??
Pity you didn't bother to read the Indo article we are referring to. This little gem in particular...
For the first time, Roscommon joined the 'millionaire's club,' chalking up bills of €1,074,000 to run their team affairsSygf, you definitely losing whatever little biteen of sense you might have had before you joined this forum. ;D

Whats your major malfunction kiddo?
After the 'mass hysteria' of Westport's win, it's time for the more mundane feeling of the Mayo Ros league game. Parsons will be a loss for Mayo. I wonder if Keegan will line out for this one.
Edit: Keegan will be available for this game.
Odds of 1/6 and 9/2 seem to favour mayo a bit more than they should. I'd have it more around 2/5 and 5/2

We'll be lucky to field a team :'(
Odds about right macdanger. Was just looking at the championship competitive 1-9 to 0-13 meeting of just three years ago today, the turnover in starting 15 players by Roscommon is remarkable.
D O'Malley; S McDermott N Carty N Collins; C Cafferkey N Daly R Stack; C Shine K Higgins; C Cregg D Shine D O'Gara; I Kilbride S Kilbride C Murtagh.
All those in bold are gone with only Ian Kilbride to return for this years championship. Basically Roscommon are back to square one building a new team, I think division 2 or 3 is the place for that and not division one against seasoned,experienced and physically strong sides like Mayo.
Our starting 15 is better now than it was three years ago.

The current Roscommon starting 15 is a experimental model. Young lads thrown into key positions on the team at 1,3,6,8,9,11,14 in the hope they can swim in the shark infested waters of division one.

There's nothing experimental about it. They're the best players available to us. Besides Featherston and O'Rourke and the goalie all were starters last season. I don't know what's experimental about playing a 28 year-old Kevin Higgins at 9, or Enda Smith and Fintan Cregg at 14/11, either.

Very much experimental mode as no guarantee that the likes of Lavin,O Rourke,mullooly,Featherston will be starters in those positions this time next year. Kevin Higgins is one of Roscommons most experienced players but he's unlikely to play Saturday after injuring his knee against Donegal. Regardless of what number Enda Smith,Fintan Cregg wear they play most of their football at wing half forward.

They haven't. Fintan was a third midfielder most of last year, whereas Enda regularly lines up at FF for club, college and county. It's disappointing that your knowledge of players is that poor past knowing a few names, to be honest.

Not sure what is worse your lack of knowledge of where the Roscommon football players play or your eyesight. One of the few games Fintan Cregg played as midfielder was against Mayo last year and he was totally out of his depth there. His position is wing half forward.
I have watched a fair bit of DCU over the last few years either midfield that didn't suit him or wing half or corner forward is where Enda Smith played, i never seen him play at FF for DCU his fellow rossie Harney BTW has played more often at FF for college,club and the senior county team but again he's probably more suited further out the field.
Kirby retrospectively banned for something he did in the schemozzle at the end. For fucks sake, how come no Kerryman got any punishment? Shower of ****** in the GAA disciplinary panels. f**king joke.

Supposedly two Kerry players are retrospectively banned too along with Kirby.
It hardly even met the criteria of a shemozzle (strict criteria that there are).
It would be fair enough if this type of punishment has doled out consistently, but you can be guaranteed it won't be, so makes this bullshit pointless and unfair.
Said it at the beginning. Parson should sit on his hands and take the punishment. Contesting decisions especially in the League only leaves a bad taste with the authorities. They don't like their decisions questioned. And Kirby being retrospectively punished proves this!

It's going to be a massacre
While I have some reservations about the McStay/McHale management setup and their inability to keep our best players on panel (eg Dalys), seeing the beginnings of some of the underage swagger emerging in the style of play. Don't think this will be a massacre and in fact we are in with a good shout of winning what should be close either way. Disagree with the odds, think we'll eek out the narrow win.
We'll have to start getting double figures in points though. 9 points in our 2 games to date not near good enough.
Potential banana skin here. Mayo are missing a lot of midfielders and our home form wouldn't fill you with confidence, even if Roscommon haven't won a league or Cship game in Castlebar forever.
Could end up with Vaughan and Conor O Shea or DOC at midfield. Where is Jason Gibbons?
I have an uneasy feeling about this one. As deeler said, Mayo's form in Castlebar is nothing to shout about. It certainly won't be a massacre as Brapbrap described. I'll wait until the team announcements before predicting anything.

Will Roscommon name their team today/tonight/tomorrow morning or will it be left to find out in the programme? Mayo will probably name theirs at 9.30 or 10.

We had teams named on the Wednesday for our last 2 games and lined out as per the Clár. We lost both so obviously time to change tack to the secrecy option.
I see that Adam Gallagher is back in training with the panel again. He's the classiest Mayo forward I have seen in years. He'll be a huge asset if he has fully recovered from his hip injury and can stay injury-free.

There's far too much know how in that Mayo team for our lads I fear. My hope is we put it up to them, hit hard and let them know they were in a game. And maybe if things are in the balance with 15 to go we can push and try and win the f**kin thing

Midfield has been our best sector this year. Tom Corocran will be drifting out to the middle as well and himself and TOR are probably the best midfielders in the county right now.

Mayo face Connacht rivals Roscommon in round 3 of the Allianz football league tomorrow night in Elverys MacHale Park.
Following a two a point win in Tralee last time out manager Stephen Rochford makes just two changes to his starting the team. Fit again Jason Gibbons and current GAA/GPA Young Player of the Year Diarmuid O'Connor make their first league starts with Tom Parsons(suspended) & Conor O'Shea making way.
1. David Clarke (Ballina Stephenites)
2. Donie Newcombe (Castlebar Mitchels)
3. Keith Higgins (Ballyhaunis)
4. Paddy Durcan(Castlebar Mitchels)
5. Stephen Coen (Hollymount/Carramore)

7. David Drake (Ballaghaderreen)
8. Donal Vaughan (Ballinrobe)
9. Jason Gibbons (Ballintubber)
10. Fergal Boland (Aghamore)
11. Kevin McLoughlin (Knockmore)
12. Diarmuid O'Connor (Ballintubber)
13. Andy Moran (Ballaghaderreen)
14. Cillian O'Connor (Ballintubber, Capt)
15. Jason Doherty (Burrishoole)
Team Manager: Stephen Rochford
Selectors: Donie Buckley, Peter Burke & Tony McEntee.
Strong team for the end of February. 10 of that starting 15 started in the drawn All Ireland final against Dublin. Midfield the one issue perhaps but Roscommons midfield pairing of Killoran O Rourke isn't their strong point either.
Counting isn't you're strong point then
??
I make it ten also.

Rhubarbs to win by 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 points depending on who's operating the scoreboard.
Fellas, Clarke didn't start the drawn game. >:(

Walsh is still banned; Crowley got his lifted.
Mayo were always likely to get the heavier punishment as they are the ones who appealed Parsons red initially. Authorities don't like that sort of carry-on.

Well there was articles in 2 papers this morning with Fitzmaurice and he was giving about how late the disciplinary meeting was and saying Walshe was still suspended so that was probably the team provided to Croke Park before the hearings on Thursday night.
Two changes for Mayo CO'S & Regan in for Drake & Doc
DOC starting at MF, interesting to see how he gets on
Christ, is there ever a Mayo game that James Horan DOESN'T commentate on? ::)
Regan should have popped it to Andy there and it's a goal.
Decent game so far
Great movement there for boland's second point
Ros look like they need some of Syfin's vehemence
Keegan coming on to a heros welcome.

Really poor, Mayo cleaning us in midfield plus breaking ball. Running through our backs like they don't exist. No pressure on the Mayo shooters. We should have 3 goals at this stage, Corcoran really poor at full forward. Done Shine and Senan Kilbride sitting at home. :'(
Yeah Andy not playing well tonite.Probably taking it easy on his fellow county men

Mike Finnerty has not let up on his Andy love fest "a rare unforced error by Andy"
Moran well enough marshalled, Ros a shambles further out the field. These commentators have their auld bullshit cliches they keep peddling.
Poor enough game since the first quarter.
Good for Mayo to run the bench but sloppy enough overall. Roscommon look doomed to relegation, the knives will be out for mcstay
Hard to know what to make of it. Mayo would have to improve for next weekend. My God, Ros are awful.
Some beer sweats for Keegan I'd say.
Sloppy enough performance from Mayo but it's very early in the season.
Roscommon are a rabble.
We're giving up some amount of goal chances. The Dubs will tear us apart if we do the same next week. We don't seem to be playing as deep a sweeper as last year.

Rossies with zero points and a score difference of -15 already with Dublin and Kerry still to play are deep in the mire.
Bad and all as Roscommon were tonight, they still managed to get more scores 0-14 than they did in either of their previous two games [10 scores against Tyrone (1-9), 11 against Donegal (2-9)] When you look at the number of goal chances Mayo have given up between the Kerry game and the Roscommon game, it's hard not to see it as a systemic issue.
Also while Mayo did score 1-19, they also had 15 wides which given Roscommon conceded 0-18 to Tyrone and 0-16 to Donegal, isn't anything to get too excited about.
Looks like Mayo dodged a bullet by not getting McStay as their manager. Roscommon probably had a team of players sitting at home tonight that would have hammered that starting 15 tonight.

Good post, fair play to Mayo for taking it easy on us.
Gay Sheerin spoke a lot of sense in his post match comments. It's like the tanned one all over again >:( A Mayo military man alienating our more experienced senior players ... it's all to familiar.
Mayo better by far and away, scoreline didn't really reflect how easy it was. We were abysmal so there's nothing for ye to really read into that game bar the amount of goal chances conceded.
That was a serious embarrassment.
I hope all the bastards that I used to refer to last Autumn are happy now.
Heard Gay cut loose on Shannonside.
I'm sure Evans Kearns and Fergie had some wry smiles tonight.
very true rossfan as we never loss to Mayo!!! Evans/Kearns did no f**king better

i don't know you didn't waste much time getting a dig in at those who held different views to yourself.
My dig is at those who set the thing up.
This was one of the poorest displays I've seen in Div 1 in a long time, maybe Westmeath three years ago in the teeming rain in mullingar was worse. Rossie just didn't show up, I actually texted Smiths brother during the first half saying he must be getting cold.
A lot of goal chances given up, two of which should have been scored, not that it would have made a difference, it was cruise control. There were times in the second half where Dublin Joe didn't have to blow the whistle for minutes at a time, zero intensity. On that, did he blackcard Boyle when it should have been Vaughan?
No sweeper for either team this evening was strange to see?
Boland, Coen, Higgins, Gibbons and Clarke were the pick of the starters, Harrison, loftus (esp that take) and Lee all did well coming on
Regan was non-existent in the first half, played for the first five of the second, then gone again. Don't know why he was kept on with the game over, bring on Irwin earlier

Heard Sheerin cut loose but I remember him on the sideline with Tony McManus when Ros. got a hiding from us in championship in '99. Ros. had arguably better players then too. He cut a hopeless and helpless figure that evening.

Actually they did much better. They inherited a team stuck in Div 3 and continuously made them better. We are going in opposite direction under McStay. People use the Sligo and Fermanagh defeat as a stick to beat Evans and Kearns but Sligo have beaten Mayo and Galway several times since our last championship victory over them in 2001. That is just nonsense arrogance from Roscommon supporters. Sligo are always capable of beating us in Markevitch Park. Same Fermanagh team were unlucky not to beat Mayo in Castlebar last year, and in our defeat to Fermanagh we still played good football and controlled the game until lack of fit players in the end. And Kearns came close enough to beating a much stronger Mayo team in championship than what we had to face tonight.
McStay should have been removed last year when it was clear the panel was divided over his return. The 3 Dalys are all better than what we had defending tonight and they have physical strength too. McStay has players starting than Evans correctly knew are not county standard - and certain people had the knives out for Evans because he would not pick them. It was a political appointment and we are dealing with the consequences now. If we run him, the press and public opinion will come down heavy on us. But reality - he has to go. A small county like ours cannot afford some of our best and experienced players sitting at home. It's simply an awful state of affairs that the current management has created.
Well done to Mayo- have a lot of very promising young players. I'd hate to think what result might have been if they were at full strength. But having said that, beyond some talented forwards kicking good points, we were beyond useless. The gap is very wide right now.

I'm not here to defend mcstay but you cannot compare playing D1 football and losing with beating teams in lower divisions.
down won their first game in 22 months. people thought we had made it when JE team twice in d2. we lost to galway we lost to laois now D3 with JE. there is a whole lot of difference losing to Mayo donegals and dublins. we beat donegal Cork and Kerry with mcstay something JE never achieved.
who is mcstay starting the JE didn't? who is not county standard maybe we should bring back Nally.
the 2 dalys left mid year last year. niall walked because he was dropped. they might have physical strenght but too soft to fight for their place.

Very good factual report.
Throw in that Mayo missed four goals in the second half, cannot fault COC, he was a bit off balance, but we fluffed three other one on ones with goalie FFS. In addition, we had multiple two on ones and even one three on one which Conor o Shea made a mess of.
All told we are really inept from 9-15 and throw in sub forwards also, don't want to seem like a Debbie downer but facts don't like. We came up against a team tonight that are in disarray, with no midfield and had their other midfielder get a black.
Kerry or Tyrone or Dublin would have score no less than 4-23 tonight against that opposition such was our dominance in backs and midfield. Our forward play is brutal, so in essence it is same o same o.
I made a pint on another thread a few weeks or a month ago about our poor forward coaching at under age level and the lack of natural forwards bar COC that have come through from minor ranks over past seven years.i am afraid when you see the events of the second half tonight it drives that point home.
Good news we most likely will stay in Division one.

They are not too soft. They played with distinction for Roscommon across all grades. Players will go out and die for a good manager. We don't have that in Roscommon right now. And I see you are going with the line McStay told the media. There's a player in the half back line with no pace they are all a hundred times better than. Enough said.

soft probably not the right word. niall had no issue being there when played but once dropped left the panel. conor and ronan chose America over playing for their county.
I have no problem with them doing that but they should not be used as a stick to beat mcstay with.
it's what mcstay said and what I heard from my sources. I haven't heard niall version until I do I can only go with the information available.
no good being better when you aren't around to play. Shine is another player with bags of talent who chose not get into shape for inter county. again it's his choice but used as a stick to beat mcstay with.
Been a while since we dominated anybody like that in the League. In the League Mayo are usually muck and at best are average. In fairness we were average today, But Roscommon were muck. Anyway, I would not panic if I were a Rossie. Mayo have had their fair share of stinkers the last couple of years in the League. It's all about the Summer. League form is only window dressing.
On the game itself. Mayo mixed the good with the bad. Despite the Rossies being flat we still found out a bit about a player or two. It was great to see a game to watch without sweepers. But it looked naive (on both sides). Kinda reminded me of Mayo Kerry games circa 2004/2006. Just like Kerry in those games, Mayo accepted gratefully the Rossies kind gesture.
Boyles, black was justified and could easily have been a red.
Onward to Croker for a different assignment.

I wouldn't be as hard on the forwards. Frustrating alright that we weren't more clinical and remember thinking at the time that the situation young O Sé butchered would have been a walked in goal if it was Dublin or Kerry in that situation.
Not sure it comes down to underage coaching either. Some things can be coached but the quality needed at the highest level is rare. You either have those players emerge or they don't. I was very impressed with Boland tonight. Quick, can read a break, kick a score, makes good decisions on the ball. The awareness and execution of the pass to Cillian that he shanked was as good as you would see in any team. I thought Regan won a lot of hard ball and while he shot a few wides he was doing the right things. Also won a penalty and a free and laid off a few passes to others - something that the more established players didn't do. Irwin, in the 4 minutes he got could have finished with 2 goals if he had been given relatively easy ball when he was in great positions.
I dunno. I think the quality is there. It is up to this management to get decision making sorted.
Now I'm not au fait with the inner workings of Rossie football but is it not a bit odd that there seems to be a huge turnover in playing squad from last to this year?
Granted some are just unavailable like Neil Collins but it seems like a fairly drastic squad readjustment.

Syf will be along shortly saying that nnone of these young Ros players lost a game at underage to Mayo. That gotta mean something right?

It sure does. It means Syf has forgotten to take the tablets again and his paranoia about all things Mayo is getting worse by the day. :D
With regard to Rossie underage players failing to come good at senior level, it's something I've brought up a number of times before. Nobody, then or now, seems able to come up with an answer. Their u21 sides were consistently better than those of the other counties yet feck all seems to come good at senior level. I know Syf will blather away about X, Y or Z showing promise but they never seem to be able to deliver.
It can't be the individual players' fault so there must be something not quite right with their development structure.
Our players now seem to be in the same poor condition as the same stage in 2012.
Frightening.

is that the last time we beat someone of note (d2 or above) in the championship? Armagh? or do we count Cavan in 2014/2015

Maybe too much weight is given to a bit of underage success. Maybe their development structure are getting the most out of what they have at underage. Iirc Fergal Boland didn't make a minor team here or opted out for some reason or other?

Underage players thrown into the senior team and expected to lead from the front. If you want to get best out of your underage players you need seasoned and experienced players around them to guide them along.
Even average div 3 teams have some structure to their defence Roscommon under McStay don't seem to have any and while syf makes the claim they have a stronger 15 now than 3 years ago I think there is at least 4 or 5 starters (won't name them) that wouldnt get a start on the best club teams in Roscommon.
Just watched it back on youtube....some great accurate foot-passing by Mayo

Armagh were rubbish that year.
Galway embarrassed us so badly they became favourites for the AI .
Then Sligo gave them a 5 point start in Salthill and bet them soundly.
That was a worrying performance from Roscommon, beaten before they came out of the dressing room.

They actually started alright 0-3 to 0-1 ahead then for Mayo to hit 8 or 9 points on the trot. If buts and maybes about the three goal chances before half time if a few of them were taken it could have been a different game and if their confidence wasn't shot with that wastefulness it must have been after C O Connor converted that penalty after HT. The remainer of the game was 0-10 to 0-9 to Mayo with a bucket load of wides kicked by both sides.
Hard to know where Mayo stand at the moment after watching last night's no intensity non contest but the Dublin game next should tell more.

Roscommon couldn't bring any intensity to the game and Mayo realised it seemed they could win pulling up without it.
Mayo started the game quite hard and if those early point chances had been taken Roscommon could have been in bigger bother. I actually thought one of Regan's early misses was a score.
If we keep conceding goal chances - and there is no reason to suggest that we wont in the short term - we're going to ship a bad beating and it could be next Sat. On the other hand staying in the division is the only objective and another win or even a draw should do it.

It's going to be a massacre
While I have some reservations about the McStay/McHale management setup and their inability to keep our best players on panel (eg Dalys), seeing the beginnings of some of the underage swagger emerging in the style of play. Don't think this will be a massacre and in fact we are in with a good shout of winning what should be close either way. Disagree with the odds, think we'll eek out the narrow win.
::)
Was Seanie McDermott on a yellow before the trip he did on.Regan in the second half? Am surprised the ref took no action against him regarding that particular incident.

Mayo had goal chances too and kicked 15 wides, Roscommon may have had some goal chances too but they were appalling and brought no intensity to the game. Roscommon at Senior level just can't beat Mayo, I know they haven't beaten them since 2001 in the Championship but when did they last beat Mayo in the league?

1988 apparently. Not sure how many times they've played during that time though

Five times Saturday,89,95,2016 and division one semi final in 2001 that Mayo won by two points. 1-19 is apparently the highest ever score Mayo have scored against Roscommon in league football.
And 15 or 16 wides as well :-[
Why isn't Paddy Brogan getting game time in the worst defence in the Division?
Is he being forced into constructive dismissal or something??
