Serious? You're saying O'Neill was no good in between the years of 21-30???

hr never became the player he look like he was going to be when he started out. he was decent enough but promised so much more

You have to take into consideration that he had a knee injury in the mid nineties that could have finished him and nearly did. There was also a badly torn hamstring that left him with a hole in the muscle that meant he couldn't kick a dead ball again. When you consider that he was never greased lightening in the first place he didn't do to bad. Maybe the blank years are more of a reflection on others than on O Neill himself. I remember other Mayo players like Michael Collins and Gary Ruane who were left aside during their 20's as well.And that trend may not be at an end yet. Anyway the case of O Neill has been well trawled over before and the player and another significant have had their say on the matter.

Didnt O Neill break one of his legs too or is that my imagination?
I also think he was travelling and on the road a lot as he worked with a merchant bank or something to that effect

not often you see ballinrobe having the equal largest contingent on a mayo team!

Why does Barry Moran get the sunglasses treatment is he cooler than the rest?

Anyways heavy frost forecasted for this weekend so likely to be called off.

...although there will be another pitch inspection at Ballyhaunis circa 1:59pm today...

[SLIGONIAN]

Its a wonder with all that money he got he dosent go with undersoil heating in ballyhaunis

If we go back to the summer sure they decided to cut the grass on the day of the junior final and up until throw in there was a load of loose grass on a wet surface for the players to enjoy slidding on. The quicker these clowns grow too old and leave our organisation the better.

Mayo v Roscommon put back to 2:30pm
There will be another pitch inspection at 12:30 so not definite that it will go ahead at all
