UNREST IN MAYO

[highorlow]

It's true they did play in Roscommon, not at their inception but moved over to Ros and then back to Mayo again. Believe they were called Faugh-a-Ballagh back in those days. It's not true that they were winning all around them and got ran. That's just pub-talk. If anything they found the going too tough and went back to the comfort zone of the caveman stuff they play in East-Mayo.

We will take some of the Kilmore lads if ye want. We shouldn't let a good story get in the way of facts though.

You'd have to admire the way that this thread has resorted back to the 'Ballagh issue,' and away from the real issue, which seems to be that many of the Mayo players no longer want to play for The current Mayo management.. These are obviously the same players, who 12 months ago, were 'rumoured' to not want Liam Mc Hale involved in any new management set up after James Horan stepped down... Can the Mayo posters give an opinion or prediction on how this unrest will be resolved?

You'd also have to admire the way you brought up the topic in the first place. 
So the real issue "seems to be" that many of the Mayo lads are unhappy with the present setup.
They are "obviously( sez who?) the same players who were "rumoured" etc.. etc....
And to cap it all, you want Mayo posters to give an opinion on how this unrest will be resolved!
Before you can resolve "anything,"  there must be "something" there to resolve.
And right now there are only rumours.
Personally, I'd think tarring and feathering would be too good for the gruesome twosome but since we have only rumours to go by, I won't say a thing.
As regards the "B" club, the conversation drifted off-topic because I asked a fairly straightforward question and got the usual response from the usual suspects. Your good self is the first one to give me any sort of intelligible response.
I was in Castlebar library on Monday doing a bit of research on the early GAA scene in Mayo when I came across the bit about Ballagh actually playing in Roscommon. Never knew anything about that.
Now I have asked you all before if any of you know the reason why the club refuses to play in Roscommon and none of ye seemed to know the answer but there just has to be one.
Maybe the members at the time took offence if they were told to shag off and the present lot are still feeling sore about their eviction. It's possible the author was referring to the Junior championships when he said they were winning everything in sight and were told to eff off- I really don't know.
But the book in question doesn't come cheap. It costs €60 and I'd expect the information therein to be well-researched and factually accurate before all other considerations.
Tell you what, as you're a gentleman, I'll be returning to the library sometime next week so I'll photocopy the item in question and then stick it up here.
Watch this space!

Just wait until McStay beats the Chosen Ones next year lads. Then things will get fun in Mayo.

Is the class of 06 finally going to come good next year??

Supposedly a few good young lads, haven't heard too much about them though.

Arra, don't you know they are slow developers in the land of sheep and shite.

[Mayo4Sam]

Maybe it's time for those players to elect a management committee from themselves as they obviously have all the answers.
Hopefully the infighting will continue

The Rossies wouldn't be worried that we'd be looking for other things back?
Like an army lieutenant? #justsaying

(I doubt he'd look sideways at the Mayo CB at this stage in fairness)

[Rossfan]

Sure we already returned a tanned Commandant to ye in 2008
And it may well happen that none of the class of 2006 may be on the 1st 15 next year.

[Mayo4Sam]

Well if it comes to pass lets hope this Mayo man is as successful for ye as the last one

In fairness for a Mayo man he's remarkably smart and articulate.

[Mayo4Sam]

He'll stand out from the crowd in Ross so

[ck]

Are there any Mayo lads on here willing to let us know what's going on?

[Shrewdness]

ck, they'd tell you if they knew anything, but they don't. Aidan O'Shea tweeting like a canary on Twitter these days. Unless the management resign, the Co Board will back them to the hilt.

Pity you don't have 3 Mayo cousins you could ask!!??

True Shrewdness, all we have is rumours and counter-rumours to go on.
