cant believe brolly has only got 2 votes

In 1993 Kevin O'Neill, Ray Dempsey and Kevin Stanton scored all of Mayo's scores. Is there any other occurances of all of a teams scorers in a provincial final being from the 1 club?

The junior final is on saturday evening, 6.30 in aghamore under lights

Ya but ur a united fan, so it doesn't matter 

McHugh: O'Mahony faces huge task
22 November 2006


Former Donegal All-Ireland winner Martin McHugh believes John O'Mahony faces a "massive task" in his quest to win that elusive All-Ireland football title for Mayo.

And he says there can be no more excuses if the new Mayo manager doesn't deliver the Sam Maguire.
Writing in his newspaper column, McHugh stated: "There can be no more blaming managers or county boards because they have the man they wanted.

"The players have the talent, but do they have the balls and the leadership? That's what they have to go out and prove on the field.

"Another thing that the players have to get over is their tendency to get carried away with one good performance. The county might go stone mad, but they must keep their feet on the ground.

"No other team in the country, Kilkenny aside, would have got the hammering from Kerry in the All-Ireland final that Mayo got.

"They were beaten after 10 minutes and that doesn't bode well for them.

"What a manager has to do is get his team mentally as well as physically right. Under John Maughan, Mayo were always physically well prepared because that was his strong suit.

"O'Mahony has to work on the mental aspect of the game."

Apart from the Kilkenny comment hes not far wrong. Does sound like a dig at M&M though

A Fairly Level headed Crew on board. Good to hear that Brady is coming back as well. Why does he constantly make a tool out of himself by retiring and unretiring etc, etc??

gaggin as I am to pass a comment, I'll let it pass in the interest of a united front for '07
Come on Mayo

Fair play to barry owens is right, class act
Congrats to mort and dillon, both deserved it

Laim O'Neill & Chuckie played on the same knockmore team

No real surprise brady is back & having talked to heaney's father it sounds like all of last years team will be back to give it another go.

Mayo4sam - any other inside from Heaney's father, you must be in the know

Ya, ya, finger on the pulse

Well i dont want tom o'sullivan to win one just so u don't win any money! 

I hope keith higgins gets one

Need i even say who i voted for
More talented than best i'll give u but for that goal in '85, pure legend
(ANd of course that monster from the sideline in '96 )

I have to disagree with a lot of what u are saying there

Howley has been a class act in football all year, will be pushing strongly for the No.6 jersey next year

Gerry cafferkey is too young, just about making the ballina team & has an injury, should make a fine full back but not for a few years yet
Enda devenney hasn't lived up to the hype that surrounded him 3 years ago and now couldn't possibly be further from the county panel, will need to refind his form to even be considered
IMO benson isn't good enough but still should be given the oppurtunity


No real surprise brady is back & having talked to heaney's father it sounds like all of last years team will be back to give it another go.
Talk to nallen for corner back!

Lads delighted to see JOM in place (at last)
And yes the expectation will be thru the roof but i think we need to give this the full 3 years to come to fruitition.
As regards new players, I expect the 2 kilcullen to be on the panel and one of them and howley to be contesting for the No. 6 jersey

As with any opinion piece, it should be judged bearing in mind the motivation of the author.

Brolly was one the original 25 lads who met to set up the GPA (90% of whom were Ulstermen incidentally). He'd a fallen out with somebody over something and left. His comments on the GPA are motivated by personal grudge rather than an effort at constructive analysis or criticism.

That doesn't change the fact that his comments are exceedingly accurate, maybe he's seen the light about these money grabbing shower of f**kers, that are only interested in the top tier of GAA players
