[and always do condisder myself having returned to Mayo (when driving from Dublin) when I come within a few kilometres East of Ballagh.

Seeing as you also think Dungannon is in south Down i take it you skipped the Geography classes 

Typo, Dungannon-South Tyrone Borough Council, are you happy now.

[Jinxy]

See that knee in the ribs from McManamon there?
And did you ever hear us complaining about it?
And look at Brady attacking a man from behind.
Shameful.

Teacher: You, Young Naparka - state Pythagoras's Theorem.
Lar: The thistles in me father's field are that big, I think they'll have to be felled, not cut.
Teacher: Good man.

I don't know what's going to come down the N5 next so I'm giving nothing away if I can help it.

Well whatever comes down the N5 as far as Ballaghaderreen it won't be Meath, being in division 3 and all that.

Can Lar and the Meath bucks turn this into a 100 pager on their own?

BURST THEM, FARRANDEELIN!

FOR CONNACHT!

FOR QUEEN!

MEABH!

Nah, none of that Rossie Royalty, do it for the Republic (Connacht) with its Mayo roots.

Sure I already invited Jinxy out to my old bunk bed when the two royalties play each other next year. He's even bringing his old teddy bear with Colm Coyle's face stitched on. Doubly gruesome for ye, I'd guess.

Should be a handy one for the Rossies.

When you pass this lad sitting on his front wall it's 3 miles to Kiltoom.

Lord Jaysus if that's an attack from behind methinks you've mellowed. Also the Meath buck's diaphragm must be pretty low for McManamon to reach his ribs!

[Jinxy]

Well he's doing his best.

[Hardy]

He was never noted for his ability to hit the target.

[Jinxy]

Animal fit though Hardy.
He could knee lads in the ribs all day.

I will always consider myself and always do condisder myself having returned to Mayo (when driving from Dublin) when I come within a few kilometres East of Ballagh.

I'd say when you go into a Irish pub in England you probably consider it Mayo also.

Sean Kilbride is a decent man.
I went to Nathys with him so I can vouch for that.
However, with the greatest respect, Sean Kilbride isn't posting here and even if he was, you can't expect me or anybody else to keep tabs on anything that was written about him or by him last summer.
Besides, what you've quoted is an expression of Sean Kilbride's philosophy, which doesn't necessarily imply that you share his views.
Maybe you could point out to me any instance in this thread or any other on the same subject where any of the "Ballagh is our, give it back at once" brigade admitted that the pro-Mayo faction has any rights at all.
(Anything written since I first brought the matter up in an earlier reply to Turlough doesn't count.)
I think it would be an instance of democracy in action to allow the club members have the ultimate say.
What's wrong with that?
BTW, in regard to the name calling and general slagging, if you care to consider the matter in greater detail you will find that about 90% of this puerile behaviour is coming from your side of the border.
I don't mind it at all because it means the hoor on the other side is rattled but I use it as a means of payback in similar coin.
"The fox always smells his own tail first," was a saying we had in Nathys and I think it's an apt one to use here.

The piece i posted was article written in the build up to the Connacht final last summer seeing that you were on the thread & went to Nathys imagined it would have caught your eye.

The views held by Sean Kilbride are the same by the majority of rossies. Ballaghaderreen is Co Roscommon that's not going to change & Ballaghaderreen players playing for Mayo isn't going to change either but like Turlough said a compromise should be reached that allows the people of Ballagh to choose which county they can play for & seeing that you have already agreed with Turlough i think we can move on in that regard.


P.S I wouldn't expect sheepophiles comments to come from a guy the same age as Sean Kilbride young at heart perhaps?

I imagine that you are a bit younger than most who are posting on this thread and maybe some of what is going on is going over your head.
The main thing is don't let any of this upset you too much. Things are never as bad as they seem.
I'm a bit busy right now but I'll get back on board this evening maybe I will be able to explain a few matters that seem to be causing you bother.
In the meantime watch out as there are two mad Meath buckos on the loose and running wild out around Carracastle or thereabouts.
Talk about wolves among sheep!
Maybe you should carry a pointy wooden stake and a few cloves of garlic with you in case you bump into that gruesome twosome.
Maybe Farrandeelin should back off too.  That poor lad is as innocent as any Mayo forward who ever tried mixing it with a Meath back.
When I come back this evening I'll bring the Parish Priest and a bucket of holy water and with a biteen of luck, he might manage to exorcise the pair of them.

Hello everybody,

So how many checked this post thinking sligonian took the bait by MGHUS on bellaghy.......

[magpie seanie]

There will be no change in anything that could negatively impact Mayo until there is regime change in Ballyhaunis.
