Is there any way ye Mayowestros bucks can ban Syfín from slabbering all over ye on this Board?
He's a total embarrassment to us all.
I think ye're in for a few leaner years now in Connacht and hopefully we can try and fill the gap somewhat.
However it may take us a few years yet to do so( till we dispense with some of our older/overrated lads) so I expect the Herrins to make hay for the next 2 years 

Will the North now get the lower Corporation tax MartyPeter were looking for?
Cameron put them on hold till after the Scottish Referendum.

For want of a better place.

Hope Cooper lad is ok.

That is shocking news. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

WTF relevance is a border poll to the Scottish independence vote... It would only be relevant if the 6 counties of the North was running a referendum on independence, which would never happen as Thatcher would be better than those cnuts at Stormont.

The question on the United Ireland is completely different as it not just the decision of people in the 6 counties.

It is

You can try to convince yourself all you want but no it is not. It was entirely their own decision.

I don't need to convince myself of anything,it's in black and white when the majority of those living in the 6 counties vote to leave the UK it shall happen?It will be their decision and theirs alone.

Leaving the UK is up to the 6 counties. Removal of the border will be 32 county vote.

Indeed. For a valid marriage both partners have to say I do.

The 6Cos. a Nation now it seems   !!!!! Pleeeease.....

May I respectfully point out to some people here that the United Kingdom State does NOT consist of FOUR COUNTRIES.
It has 3 Countries plus two thirds of a Province of a fourth Country.
(Mind you I don't know if Cymru/Wales can be considered a Country but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt).

I see the timetable for extra powers for Scotland seems to be gone off the rails already. Who'd ever think that (British) Politicians wouldn't keep promises.

So we have vacancies in Wicklow, Laythrum, Down, Offaly, Westmeath, Carlow, Louth, Wexford, Waterford  and Armagh[/color], Galway and MayoWR so far.
Question marks in Sligo Antrim, Cavan, Armagh, Galway, and maybe a few more Leinster Counties - Cork too possibly.Depending on how the AI plays out Horan, Gavin, McGuinness may jump ship

Shane Ward appointed as Senior, Junior and U21 manager in Laythrum.
I've heard of double jobbin but that's squeezin the last drop out of him.
Only Walsh nominated for Galway and only one name in the hat in Waterford too.
2 Nominations in Rhuland.
Pat Flanagan yet to commit in Shliigo

The way I see it is you essentially had 3 camps.

1 - The Scots Nationalists. (Not to be confused with the SNP). These people have a very Scottish sense of identity, and are hugely proud of that identity and the whole Scottish culture, including those items above. They would have voted YES yesterday, even if they were unsure of the future, as they would face it with hope, determination and pride in a new independent Scotland.

2 - The Scots-British. These would be analogous to our own Unionist brethern. They feel themselves as British as anyone in Middlesex, Essex or Surrey. Granted a lot of them would support Scotland in sporting events against England, but only in the same way a brother would want to beat another brother. These identify as British, and always would. I believe this cohort would have voted NO, regardless of any promises of a prosperous future as a commonwealth, but independent, nation.

3 - The Waverers. This is where the game was won and lost. On the assumption that the camps in 1&2 were fairly evenly matched, or even weighted more towards the #1s, this is the bunch that the campaign was really aimed at. Proud of being Scots, but having nothing against the remainder of the UK, and quite comfortable having a bulwark of a big brother to prop them up if the need arises. This bunch would have had to be swayed that independence was good for them and their children, sustainable, and prosperous. This is what has failed.

1- 45%
2 and 3 - 25% + 30%.??

If/when we have a referendum in the 6 Cos are talking
30% yes to UI ( no matter what)
40%(at least) No ( no matter what)
and the other 30% decide the outcome on Economic/fear of the unknown grounds?

2  - Thompson has Strokestown connections too I believe.

Meanwhile poor oul Syfín is busy struggling to come to terms with starting Secondary school

Anybody have any idea or suggestions what will happen when the English outvote the rest to leave the EU?

No songs for this all Ireland. Two serious managers. Getting close to weekend. Looking forward to a few pints in fagans on Sunday morning.

Plenty of songs about and plenty of farm animals painted down in kerry too.

Two serious managers?,time will tell if fitzmaurice is any use. Two very lucky teams if you ask me, Dublin took their eye off the ball and Mayo were fookin robbed.

Being wiped out at midfield in 2 games usually means you are going to struggle to win. Start there and have a good look at your own side before moaning about refs etc..About time ye got over it now.

Ah sure the poor oul Rhus have to be saying something to fill a few pages when ye and the Donegal hoors won't.
If we ever get a Tymoan/Rhubarb final the GAAboard will probably explode 

What a pity the Scots didn't have the courage to see it through.
We'll see now if CameronCleggMilliband can deliver on their promises when the English and Welsh MPs start to kick up a fuss.
If they don't I wonder how many no voters will be sorry.

A few days away from the biggest game of the year and we're only on page 10 with photos of "scenery" and a Ros Quarter Final appearing on the page.
Is this a new low for the GAABoard?

My hapence worth - I think the "new" Kerry will just have a bit too much for Donegal as they won't be as one dimensional as Dublin. Also they'll be able to vary the game as it unfolds and will be the fresher team in the last 10 minutes and just pull away to win by a few points.
Hoping I'm wrong of course as I'd love to see the Donegal boys do it again. Not to mention the Ros connections of young Jigger and Thompson.

Funny how Roscommon people come out to post in times when there's a hint of upheaval in Mayo.

Maybe they have nothing else to add a bit of excitement to their lives

As the dark nights approach, the endess básin from the Mayo básahauns can always be guaranteed to provide a bit of amusement to help get us through the wet auld winter. Till the  FBD anyway.

Upheaval in Mayowestros is always a good thing.
Seems there are only 2 in the running with Connelly the favourite.
As for comparing Horan to Tom (formerly Tommy) Carr....... Ah Jases that's goin too far.

Others on the Board saying it's because the succesful candidate signed the arrestb warrant for Gerry.
If the process was compromised I'd expect a Legal Challenge......

Is it not incredible that Scotland got an independence referendum before Ireland?

As about 80% of Ireland is already Independent.....  answer  to your question is No.
The GFA covers the 6 Cos having a Referendum to either join in an Independent All Ireland or stay with the ( present) UK.
If the Scots jump ship ( please God they will) wonder what will the remnants of the "UK of GB and NI"  be called?
