Reading through the Roscommon hearld , i don't think i have ever read such negativity towards the actual outcome of a game in my life, it is unbelievable , from Cregg the player to Willie Hegarty, ''performance, keep within six, david v golliath,break the game down, do as best we can!!! bluber bluber me, cry me a fookin river.

Either they have a master plan and have decided to send out secret newletters to every house in the county telling them about this beal bocht approach or they're just pure horse manure and are genuinely shittin themselves.

It has me a tad worried now though, there is an undertone of smugness here with this lot .

So upsets happen, see Limerick today. I'm sure Roscommon will use that game today to beat Mayo. The Limerick game started at 4pm today too. Mayo v Ros throws in at 4pm next week...

However, hopefully that game will show Mayo that being favourites in bookies etc stands for nothing once you take the field of play. Hopefully I'll be smiling this time next week.

Yeah, its a major advantage to Ross having it at 4pm. Mayo will not cope with it being at that time of the evening.

Or maybe they were told there would be no traditional send off, so they could lay off with the intimidation malarkey for a dignified burial to take place.

Lay people probably don't understand what happens not only at republican funerals but comm/functions and protests, the behaviour of the free state mafia is so uncalled for its unbelievable tbh, only for i have seen it first hand. Special branch detectives , showing you their guns on purpose, in a packed o connell street at a peaceful protest, asking your name and address and you have given it to them several times previous, they know this fine well too.

It's a tactic to alienate  any movement who opposes the status quo, esp republicanism, they want the general public to ignore our protest so they come in numbers waving guns, it is farcical and who tells them to act in this manner is what i'd like to know.

Which ever game he decides to go to, he'll always look on the bright side of life anyway, he even sang that song before it was wrote.

So i take it some of the above posts agree with the heavy presence of armed thugs at a mans funeral.

No better than the ruc/ric/pissni , all the same moto , destroy the rm at all costs.

RIP brave warrior.

A principled republican to the last . To those slating his refusal to bow or be broken, there is no point in telling you why as you'll never understand.

Republican objectives is not unification alone, also.

I am a gambling man unfortunately and i like to think i'm fairly informed on sports betting but i cant fathom out a few things of late. One of them being why do pp delay the options of the handicap market on GAA matches?

Obviously there is a reason of some sort and one that probably makes perfect sense.

I did email pp during the league campaign and ask them why they had omitted mayo from there League winners market prior to the Donegal game in Castlebar, i never got a reply till after the game. They said it was down to ''marketing reasons''. I still can't fathom what that means tbh.

Larry, just when you mention Mayo Hunger Strikers, Vol. Michael Gaughan died 39 years ago yesterday.

Thats true mo chara. An ordinary man from healy tce in Ballina, just was working away in England and decided to join up. He was arrested for a bank robbery in a fundraising op somewhere in London.

Ironically enough with the release of Marion Price last week, we are speaking of Gaughan, he started his hunger strike in support of the price sisters back then.

On another note, what do you make of Ricky o Rawes account of what happend during 81 ?

Wow, that thread really shook me with some of the comments.
How anyone can be disrespectful to our patriot dead is disgusting, i don't expect every Irish person to be republican minded but to actually take the piss likesomething that  would blend in on rangers supporters bus, is more saddening than anything else.

I didn't read through the whole thread but just to clear up one thing, 22 men have died on hungerstrike in the name of Irish republicanism and three of them were from Mayo, the one that has been left  out by posters in here is Jack Sean McNeala from Ballycroy who died in 1940 along with his comrade from Galway Tony Darcy.

To the poster MGHU, i reckon if it was left to your kind the red would be above the green, TAL.

We had a challenge match too but I'm under orders from the Ros Horse not to divulge details to the enemy. 'Twas a lovely day, mind.

By all accounts the Brids exposed a lot of our shortcomings 

'Twas good to see Senan finding the target and Mango was all-action in the middle. At least after this challenge match we can choose the lads we like from the other team

Senan Kilbride will be the one man we have to keep quiet, i was very impressed with him in club final, so much so i thought horan might try and get him to tog for Mayo under the father rule.
But seriously we have been suspect at times under the high ball into our fb line, i expect the ross to try this all day. I'm hoping S. Mchale starts instead of Keane tbh.

Beat Brigids by seven points?

Nope 

It must of been London, hence your refusal to reveal the opposition.

Thanks for the info Ballinaman.

How did Gibbons play?

Where is Barry Moran up to in terms of return?

Sounds like some second half performance by Mayo today, i didn't make it myself but it sounds awesome, goals galore.

Anyone at it from in here?
