lough lanagh near castlebar. very friendly locals . not much surfing but very camp

Hulk word of advice . dont make fun of the northern ireland boys they get very cross if you point out their fading challange and be come all schollmarmy about punctualtion and spoolliing. you must also show due repect to the great one in a row team from armaghhhhh that invented football and ignore the fact that all the peter canavan one man team jokes have since proven to be true.  othere than that welcome to the bored and spell thing what ever way you want it really pisses off the keyboard warriors

pointing out some one may be too old and other maybe too young is not at all contradicorial. i see huge  potential in Parsons but im not convinced he is quiet ready yet thats all. and god bless david heaney i would not hear a bad word against him but his time will pass he has so many miles on the clock.
And while austin may get away with sunday ill be taking bets hell be found out yet again before the end of summer.
I was responding to a suggestion we were exceptionally strong down the middle and i disagreed. we have a lot to prove there our strenghts lie in higgins gardiner the mortimers andy moran.
what changes would i make . its a bit pointless at this stage as a lot of my doubts are hypotheical but Barry moran should replace austin. CHF should be Mcdonald.  midfield could be a problem if parsons doesnt work but you can be sure BJP would let no one down either there or CHB .
The team as picked is well worth a look but it hasnt increased my confidence in reality id be more worried about Boyle and Cunniffe they have done very little to impress during the league

Barney would you not think this is the strongest we have been up the middle is a long time?


1- Clarke, 3 - Conroy, 6 - Heaney, 8 - MacG, 9 - Parsons, 11 - Harte - 14 O'Malley

Only change IMO would be

              3 - Heaney, 6- T.Mort                                   

no i wouldn't for one. clarke is in foor omalleys injury ,Are conroy or parsons are ready for championship football yet? AOM is no good and harte is an honest trier at best.. heaney has the class but father time is banging on his door and will want access very soon. we should get away with it sunday but tougher battles lie ahead

Also on Mcstay article it says HISTORY is the main reason he thinks Mayo will win . Absolute jibberish. The past is gone. Its all on the day.

not so im afraid. are you telling me there was any other reason cork beat limerick last week?.
There is no logical reason other than complacency why mayo should even comtemplate losing to sligo on sunday.
arguments such as they have to be better than there were in the league or sligo always play well wearing black ect  ares not logical ones.
Mayo by 7 to 10 points

Yeah just has a look at it there... dodgy enough stuff. It seems as if a few French players just lost the plot completely! And as for U-20 some of those lads are HUGE!

and most of the poor lads have ashma. you have to admire their fortitude

I haven't heard a hell of a lot more than ye but if I had to guess I'd say he'll tog but mightn't be 100%. If he does nothing but kick a few frees he'd be worth it. I heard that if it was a Championship game last weekend the club might have risked him but it was O'Mara Cup so they left him out.

if hes not right they should hold him back for bigger days. if we cant win on sunday without him its gonna be a very short year any way. he too important to be risked. i'd love to see ronaldson get a proper run as i think there is huge potential there

Wigglesworth - Ní Bhigglesworth. has to be wrong no W in irish could be Ní Bhigglesbhorth more likely 'prosusduin dubh salach'

I m not Farandeelin. But I remember that stuff from a great football coach and math's teacher and an uncle of a fella in the county panel still. Ar dheis Dé go rabh a anam dílis. He would as a Cross. man be appalled by Mac s exclusion from the panel and rightly so.

And a pround holder of a Celtic Cross himself as a sub he only got the meadal a few years back as i dont think subs got tthem back them or else it was because of his holy orders. I too suffered in Muredachs for a spell untill they decided to stop sufferring me.

as for barneys trolling it may not be the worst prepared team only time will tell that but it must be the most uncertain team for a long whil and no harm in that if it keeps people on their toes

lots of people here claiming not to be embarrassed by anything . so how about a few stories in which you look bad so we can all have a guilt free laugh. like getting the bumms rush. failing to get it up, shitting your self in public. that sort of thing . no excuses /boasting about ho much you had to drink before either.
go i dare yese

its a bit mad/ like trying to rob a bank trying to get an offical time for thee games. not that i dont trust the man from Farrandeelin. but it would be nice for the Mayo gaa's own website to have the details. would it be grounds for appeal for a team who didn't show. at least as good the the excuse clare morris used a few years back

is the club house still open .i heard the local publicans were less than impressed with the way it was operated.

best full back in te country
dara o'se no question

ye mustn't have watched any leagues to exclude andy moran from the certainties lineup. he has mature into probably mayo's best player.also its pointless to compare mayo's state to kerry who are going for 3 in a row or 4 out og 5 which is even more impressive. but it can also mean that the team is getting stale. like the great team of the 80's by staying too long they seriously harmed kerry footall for about 10 years. be happy we have so many top pedigree footaller who when we get all the ingredint right will come very good

what time is the cross knockmore game on sunday? mayogaa.com says 12pm but  i wouldn't travel 100 miles on their say so .( strange logic really i suppose trusting a discussion board over an offical website)
