Come On Mayo - We're Right Behind You

[Syferus]

Back home here in Mayo, there is a very low key atmosphere. Less than a week away from our AI semi final clash with Kerry.  Many feel we have a chance of beating Kerry for the first time in 18 years. Actually many fans are enjoying this year. There is no pressure. And I mean no pressure. As far as all are concerned Dublin have the title won.

No pressure but if Mayo don't win this year Horan and his backroom staff will be gone and send Mayo back to the dark ages

Surely Donie Buckley will want the big gig?

Looks like a lot of people don t get it! Mayo don t do Dark Ages. The issue is do we lose the semi or AI final? Either way we will probably be back in last 4 next year.

Look, Horan has been a fine manager but if he had 5% more he could have won 2 AIs by now. He went with his convictions but they were not necessarily the bet options. As long as Mayo appoint competent managers we will be always be thereabouts. Dark Ages me hole. Where ye from Blanket?

1952 to 1988 Mayo didn't win any championship game in Croke park. Dark ages or all competent managers?

Just Dermot Earley and Sean Purcell.

I was thinking this the other day, who next. Heard rumours that Jack o'Connor is being tapped up already.
Ideally we would stay in the county but not sure who their is, naturally you should look at the succesful clubs and see who there is, Castlebar are obviously kings at the moment but I think we've been there done that with Pat Holmes and while he did win a national league dont think he could bring enough to get us over the line. Who else is there? Enda Gilvarry has done a fine job with the minors and certainly seems to be a good man for the right tactical switch to change a game, maybe its too early for him.
So ladies and gents, what ye will see in the minor match this Sunday is not just Mayo trying to retain their crown as all ireland champions but the battle for the Mayo senior manager job next year!

We'll be going with our all Ireland winning manager Kevin mc

Reckon he'd prefer the Ros U21 job so he can fit his army duties and RTE work around it 

Top man for a Mayo man.

Sure hasnt he his heart set on the Kildare job when it comes up again, plenty of media exposure, no expectation and done and dusted by late July so you can get back to the telly. Sure he'd have to lose the telly job if he went for Mayo. AND he'd bring the long legged one with him and that ship has sailed already. The man who looked at the size of the calves of the Kerry players before the 2004 final and apparently knew then we were fecked. Please.

Was his re-stationing to the Curragh that meant he couldn't give the Brigids job more than a year, so unless he's retired in the last 12 months?

Bundle of nerves tonight.

[Hardy]

The weirdest All-Ireland semi-final in history. Both teams know they'd be better off losing this one.
