[Farrandeelin]

Powerful piece. And it's all true as well.

Makes it all the more logical that despite all the final defeats and ridicule that goes along with it he is till proud to be from Mayo!

Very powerful,  gave me the aul lump in the throat

Arah it's a lovely article and all that, but there's a match to be won. If the team has that attitude of "we love our football so we'll be back again after we lose", then we've no hope whatsoever.

It has to be quite challenging to live life with saying Roscommon in every sentence...a day in the life

"How's the form ? Ah not too bad, grand morning now Roscommon but afternoon isn't promised great"

"50 Diesel on pump 8 Roscommon, Thanks"

"Lamb chops Roscommon for dinner is it?"

I'm sure an erudite chap like you (ie total know-all) has heard of Lord Castlereagh.
He was once asked if he had  been born in Ireland and his classic retort was, "Being born in a  pig sty doesn't make one a pig."
Irrefutable logic.
By the same token, he could have added than living in one didn't make him one either.
The same applies to Kevin McStay.
Living in such an ungodly place didn't turn him into a sheepophile.

Ahhh Lairín he chose to live in Roscommon 
A man in his position could have chosen to live 40 or so km further West in his own County.
If Ros is a pig sty what does it say about Meeyo?
Anyway our revenge is the laughter of his Ros supporting children

His wife a Roscommon woman I believe also. Three daughters are big Roscommon supporters, interesting household when Roscommon are playing Mayo no doubt.

I guess it is an unfortunate fact of life that, while we can choose our friends, we cannot select our neighbours.
