Stephenite      MIND YOUR LANGUAGE !!   

Ah yes, because that is the issue at hand .

 'O'Rourke puts the anal into analyst' 

It's a very real shame that people have to resort to very selective editing of what people write on this board to make a point.

It's a very real shame that people call posting almost every single word written by a poster ( I left out an 'I am' ) very selective editing to make a point.  ( I realise reading archives of one's posts can be embarassing but you should take it like some-one who claims to have the temerity that you do. )

Pietas the thing about re-writing history here is that we can merely go back a few pages to check it.

Jaysus the bithcin has started early this year
Kevin McStay was a class act in my view and unfortunate with injuries ( borken leg ), an All Star in 1985. Didn't expect a consensus regarding all the selections, but McStay was a consistently better player for Mayo than Padraic Brogan, may not have had the natural skills of Brogan but more valuable contributions over the years ( albeit due to the unfortunate circumstances that Padriac found himself in ) however no one has commented on his selection.

The only ones really hard done by in not making that list was James Horan, Peter Forde and possibly Maughan

Sure you were never going to please everybody, and the list of selected players were drawn up whilst trying to bear in mind that we have some younger posters here.

Nicely put there Muppet - but you forgot to mention Noel Durkan, Jimmy Burke, Jimmmy Browne, Tom Reilly, Diarmuid Byrne , Sean Maher, PJ loftus, TJ Bourke, Micael Collins, Pat Holmes, Ivan Heffernan, Eugene Lavin, Liam Niland, Kevin Staunton, Barry Heffernan, Eugene Mchale, Joe Corcoran Junior, and maybe Joe Linsday.

Dud oscars etc. etc. etc. blah de blah

They were Stephenite's responses which you call 'serious wind-ups'. The only real wind-up is the third above which was obviously directed at me and my Oscars. I took it as I'm sure Stephenite intended, do you see the winking smilie after the two Mitchels players?

It's clear that the genesis of this whole thing is that someone has had the temerity to question how Kevin McStay could be included on a list of Mayo greats.

I think the fact that he got two votes in the poll put's that to bed.

Asking Muscles to 'stay away this time' is unfortunate language to say the least, and implies some sort of ownership of this board that Stephenite simply does not have.

Your sniping started the downward trend of this thread and hiding behind such sanctimonious prattle as ' this whole thing is that someone has had the temerity to question how Kevin McStay could be included ' hasn't exactly furthered your cause. He has the same votes as Flanagan and Kenny Mort so that has hardly put it to bed.

A half apology/half dig back type post like Stephenite's from you would diffuse things nicely but somehow I ge the feeling the Hand of God avatar is telling me something different.

 Pietas I tend to agree with Stephenite about your 'sniping' comments particularly on this thread.

Im a scratching my head trying to figure out how McStay made it on to list

More typical Ballina sarcasm.  They'd sicken your arse.  Why didn't you stick Ronan McGarrity in your bloody poll?

And your reading age is?

These were your contributions to this thread before your rather hypocritical rant accusing him of degrading and insulting language.

As for Muscles I think like Rosnarun he found himself in the crossfire between the two but unilke Rosnarun he took some hostile fire.

As for McStay people are of course entitled to their opinion but, along with Noel Durkin, any Mayo forward of the 1980's who got an all-star deserves at least a mention.

Junior final was posponed.

No hurleys? Sliothar?

If the fella doesn't show up for training should he be selected?
The manager has to take a stand.

The ideals of every below average player. 'If I keep making training I'll get a game, even though I am beyond useless'.

As for managers taking a stand, most losing managers refer to a row or taking a stand or various problems, winning managers get their best players on the field.

Don't know what the problem with Kelly is, he has a knack for courting trouble and there's no smoke etc....However he is a class act and for his club to cut him loose publically is hard to take. I wouldn't go back either.

As an aside Eoin fancy tranferring to a Mayo club?   

 Just checking

 Whatever about the GPA Brolly is the only one actually getting paid for all of this. Very few make more than he does from his association with our Association. His hypocracy is staggering.

 Hail Jonesie,

full of peace,

the Lord is with thee,

blessed art thou among Gaels

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Croker,

Holy Jeysus,

Mother of God!

Lay in to those sinners,

Now and at the hour of our violation,

Amen.

  Announcing the Massey Ferguson Supreme Champions of the Universe?

There will be 4 Quadrant Galaxy Championships:

Kerrygold Sagittarius Dwarf Championship ( clubs from Munster and one of the Blaskets )

Stubbs Gazette Andromeda Galaxy Championship ( clubs from Connacht and Inisboffin )

Findus Black Eye Galaxy Championship ( clubs from Ulster and the Isle of Skye )

and finally

Evening Herald Helix Galaxy Championship ( clubs from Leinster and Antarctica )

A GAA spokesman said today that "Einstein's Theory of Relativity would sort out any scheduling problems ( take a bow Prof Mickey Harte ) as time would slow down for those travelling to play and watch the games".

Such an innovative idea would easily attract sponsors and we could have Marty Morrissey commanding the Sparship Centraprise Outside Broadcast Interstallar Engine ( SCOBIE ).

Fair weather supporters would be renamed Klingons and quickly dispatched to the breakaway Gaelic Planets Association. Spokesman Dessie Ferengi acknowledged his association would take all comers as his 'Rules of Acquisition' decreed.

The spokesman added "...( that ) this is really only the start of the Tyrone manager's plans. He is involved in dialogue with Oxford and MIT checking to see if we can expand the universe to provide greater coverage for Gaelic games. MIT are very keen on the idea and have even christened the project 'the all encompassing taking the Mickey Harte strategum' 





 

There are just two IR games but people use the fixtures argument as a stcik to beat it. What exactly would this American style "we are the world" competition do to the overcrowded schedules?

If your forwards had kept their fists under control when Darren Fay was coming out with the ball there would have been no fight, no McHale sending off and, of course, Mayo would have won, as the Lord intended. Just as he intended in 89, 97, 04, 06. There's always someone else to blame

.

I don't see a single post blaming anyone for 89,97,04 or 06. As for your initial argument it's about as intelligent as saying if they had stayed in bed that day it wouldn't have happened. Terrible how Meath are always are always

Might have a wedding in either March or July

Is there something we should know?
