Any thoughts on the Blue Book, Vincent Hogan wrote about in the Indo today? Mother of God it makes them seem awful pretensious doesn't it? Why can't they just concentrate on playing football and cut out the theatrics?

By the way in case anyone didn't see it, Hogan wrote about a book that all the members of the Dublin panel were given at the start of the year......there was a creed involved with owning the book, of which Rule 4 said "I will not show or admit to the existence of THE BLUE BOOK to any other person except another Blue Book holder" !!

Each page is topped with the line "Dublin, All-Ireland Champions 2008"

To be fair the lad is a very good footballer, makes mistakes, but overall he is amongst Mayo's best forwards. He is right that he doesn't always get the perfect ball played into him, but it can be hard playing the right ball into the corner forwards when your under pressure yourself.

Anyway, i'm sure he knows well enough that when he has a microphone under his nose that what he says will be most likely printed, so i'm sure he is ready to stand by what he says and take any of the flak coming his way.

Will O'Mahony be in the next Snickers Mr T ad?

And just on Muppets comments on Conor "Mayo will win nothing without me" Mortimer, when Mort scored the goal, he was punched in the net and the umpire HELD HIM BACK so as he wudn't seek retribution- now if the umpire seen the incident and felt the need to hold back the Mayo player, then why didn't he feel the need to inform the ref of the incident? Clearly picking the ball off the ground is more detrimental to the game than hitting players off the ball?

Sean Boylan if he doesn't go back to Meath.

Connacht Minor Final 1995 Galway 2-14 Mayo 2-11. Brilliant game, brilliant players, brillant finish. And that Galway side proved just how good they were with 5 of them winning a Senior in 98.

Fair enough, they look gud this year but how often have we seen that in the past? Can't look far past sum of the South Mayo teams.
