Among the other allegations made by Matheson are:

The World Class Performance Programme worked in a "bubble" with "little or no supervision" by British Cycling's management.

A "considerable amount of money" has been spent on financial settlements for staff who were "forced" to leave British Cycling.

Favoured athletes and staff tended to form "enclaves" and those on the outside were "often treated badly and fearful for their future".

Matheson's account of events is highly critical of Sir Dave Brailsford, who joined British Cycling in 1997 and worked under Keen before succeeding him in 2003.

It is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever, ever seen. It is beyond atrocious.

Maughan maybe but Horan hardly started from zero when Mayo had won a Connacht senior title 2 years before he arrived were division 1 team and had Ger Cafferkey,Donal Vaughan, Tom Cunniffe, Kevin McLoughlin;Aidan O Shea,Seamus O'Shea etc that had already sampled championship football.

Ah, come on!! Zero is losing to Sligo and Longford in the one Summer. That is no slight on those counties either, but doubt if either were playing in top2 divisions at the time. And it was championship ffs. Sligo had us beaten 20 mins. out and Longford were comfortable enough too towards the end. It was a mess. Johnno practically did a Floyd Patterson and left the building like a shot. Don't think he used a fake beard though!
Horan's team knocked out AI champions next Summer. That's all anybody needs to know. It was never about players.  Johnno got a Div. one squad as well and players that reached AI finals. Why wouldn t those lads you named not have sampled championship football?  It wasn't great experience though - like compared to young Dublin and Kerry lads that debut in teams on their upper.

Johnno might not have been great but he was not blind. McLoughlin should have been in earlier as well as corner back a year earlier btw.

Anyway, it is interesting that neutrals build up our managers but give our players a kicking.
2010 was a bad summer after a decent spring where Mayo reached the league final beating Cork,Kerry,Tyrone along the way.

Under the guidance of H&C Mayo won 4 U21 Connacht titles in a row and one All Ireland between 2006 to 2009. Then the James Horan success with Mayo seniors 2011 to 2014 was built around that group of players that played on those 2006 to 2009 U21s teams.

Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins; Chris Barrett, Colm Boyle; Seamus O'Shea,Barry Moran,Tom Parsons,Donal Vaughan,Jason Doherty,Robert Hennelly,Kevin Keane,Lee Keegan, Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O'Shea i might be missing a few more.

Like i said Horan hardly started from zero but he got the rub of the green in his first championship game that could have been a far worse result than losing to Longford or Sligo!

What you are missing, is the point.

Galway have had greater recent U-21 success in the football and it got them nowhere. Their success underage didn't translate when they upgraded the U-21 manager either. Look at Limerick's hurling 3 in a row. It means nothing. 

I often hear this said but you have to give players time. Mayo's recent success came mainly from their 2006 All-Ireland winning U-21's. Mayo didn't reach a senior final with them until 2012 which was 6 years later. Galway's two All-Ireland U-21 sides were in 2011 and 2013. Plus there are other variables involved such as the strength of the existing squad that the young players are absorbed into.

I wouldn't say it's got Galway "nowhere" either. I do think they are better and improved side than they were a few years ago when they couldn't even win a game in the qualifiers.

Galway also won in 2002 and 2005. That is what the 2011 & 2013 sides should have been absorbed into. 4 U-21 All-Irelands in 11 years and still not a single Championship win in Croker.

Anyway the point wasn't to criticise Galway, it was to show that underage success isn't much of a guide.

That was the 'take-off'.

Why did he do this?

And secondly he's not good enough to be speaking like that.

he hasn't been exactly brilliant himself for Galway. But sure he can blame the manager for that!

You wouldn't be seen dead sitting beside him.

Hard to know what the hell Sice was thinking though. Walsh will hardly thank him for that crap.

Bizarre stuff for Sice to come out with alright. Maybe he was inspired by Holmes and Connelly. "If they can needlessly open an old wound and turn themselves into targets for ridicule, then why can't I?" he probably said to himself.

;D ;D ;D

Maybe Rochford called in an old (and badly needed) favour?

I despise her Muppet, she is a horrendous excuse for a human being and her status and who she is married to are the reasons why she is not in jail, if you think her clean more power to her, she thinks she is above the law and the rules do not apply to get and she is 100 percent correct, up to now that is.
Your hero is a failed leader, thief and Billy who hates the vast majority of Americans, who would do it say anything and throw anyone under the bus to get elected, she even had the balls to implicate Colin Powell in her email scandal, she lied before Congress and due to get inaction got American diplomats killed despite over three hundred pleas begging for more security.

Your hero is an establishment cancer, I am completely compromised when it comes to Clinton, I admit that, how could I not, but dress it up any way you want, she is poison and the people saw that and voted in Trump rather than her, thsts how vile she is, she was deemed worse than Trump and she is.

Stew, she isn't my hero. In fact I seriously doubt she is a hero to anyone here. I would ask you for any evidence that anyone here proclaimed her their hero, but there is no point in asking you for evidence. As against that, most of us saw that she was a far better option than Trump. Your hated of her has blinded you that that. Congratulations to FOX NEWS on their success.

But because you hate her, then anything goes. Any abuse, and conspiracy, anything alleged by anyone against her, must be true.

And you dismiss other people's morals?

"she even had the balls to implicate Colin Powell in her email scandal"

Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice are guilty of the same thing she is accused of doing. Her version of things differs slightly from Powell's, but the differences are merely in interpretation of his correspondence. The fact is he did send her an email outlining how he did have  "a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line." That is a fact. She didn't make that up and Powell confirmed it.

For evidence: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/09/08/colin-powell-on-use-of-private-email-i-stand-by-my-decisions-and-i-am-fully-accountable/?utm_term=.10a6313defc6

That Weiner had classified material on his laptop should have had him and his idiot wife in the big house and Clinton with them.

What should Hillary be in jail for again Stew?

So many things Muppet that have been discussed on here as nauseaum, tired Muppet, can't bring myself to name them all, will the misuse of the Clinton Foundation do how about her email scandals, her warmongering, the death of her former lover, I could go on but the steak is ready.

You can't go on.

You throw out comments as if they are facts, and never provide any back up. And then you accuse everyone that disagrees with you of being a liar.

For example, you think she should go to jail for the 'death of her former lover'. Off you go. Please provide some proof. Otherwise it will appear that you are the liar.

You are right Muppet, I think she is Lily white, pure as the driven snow, fact is she is the Teflon Don of politics.

The DOJ failed to do their job because they are bought and paid for, her hubby, the serial intern stogie f**ker, actually got on a plane with a liberal government official and bullied her into calling off the dogs, the Clintons are pond scum and nothing sticks, you know this, the proof is under your nose, you just do not have the minerals to admit that.


This is a straw man argument. IT IS NOT AN ANSWER.

Now, at the risk of being seen to be telling blatant lies, please provide some proof that she is somehow responsible for the death of her former lover.

I am not telling blatant lies, I truly believe she is an evil elitist count that killed her former lover, the men in Benghazi, that she is a war criminal and that she should be in prison for not living up to the promises she made when Obama made her his number two after the VP.

As the boul Fox Mulder said many times, the truth is out there Muppet, seek and ye shall find.

Muppet let it go, she is unhappily married to bubba, she can no longer have children and she hates your class distinction be it working or middle class.

Nothing sticks and you have absolutely no morals Muppet, completely devoid of ethical challenges, me, I hated the bitch and blame her for many of the ills in America, why I hear you ask Muppet, well Muppet, I believe this because it is true.

Stew you claim I have no morals, yet you bravely label a woman a whore and a murderer, without any evidence. And you say I am devoid of 'ethical challenges' - whatever that means. Without evidence or facts, one cannot even get to question one's morals.

You blame Hillary for many of the ills of America, because you 'believe'? That's it?

This is the argument of the DUP. It is the rhetoric of the likes of Netanyahu, ISIS and other fanatics. You don't burden yourself with issues like evidence or facts, upon which you can reason and analyse. Simply believing is enough.

Cults, factions and fanaticism have long been the scourge of the human race. While Trump is definitely a massive set-back for the world in this regard, with greater momentum in things like education, we as a society are overcoming this type madness. That is what I believe.

For evidence, we have lived in the longest era of world peace in recent history. Sure there are still wars, but nothing like the first half of the 20th century and before. Hopefully Trump doesn't spoil that.

The main suspect in the German attack has been shot dead.
He visited an ISIS affoliated mosque after the attack. WTF are the Germans doing allowing such an institution to exist?

There will be a lot more affiliated mosques to ISIS (or the next incarnation - whatever that is) after a couple of years of the Vlad-Don show.

depending on who you listen to!

Right there is the key to the whole thing. When you listen to conspiracy loons you end up hearing conspiracy nonsense.

Not really, I am not a fan of conspiracy theories, I simply think she is capable of anything and I am f**king with Muppet for fun at this stage, dude needs a holiday, he is wound right.

Ok......I am gnashing my teeth and banging the table with every post.

Enjoy that thought.  :D

Donald J. TrumpVerified account ‏@realDonaldTrump  12h12 hours ago
Based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns of the Lockheed Martin F-35, I have asked Boeing to price-out a comparable F-18 Super Hornet!


https://www.quora.com/Which-fighter-is-better-the-F-35-or-the-F-18-Super-Hornet

No comparison between the two. One is 20 years old. Fine machine but way behind the F35 regardless of configuration.

This comment sums it up: 'The major difference in that airspace is the F-35 eliminates the target before the opponent knows he is airborne. Avionics, intelligence, speed and wicked stealth easily go to the new craft.'

The question is why would Trump go back 20 years for new fighters?
