What a team to have built after 4 years of trying........there isn't a half decent club team that would fear the Mayo forward line.  We are going backwards so quickly under ALL of this current management team.  It looks like a joke of a team, I only hope it is a joke.  Imagine if we were heading out to play Kerry or Cork with this team......Mayo God Help Us.

SAFFRON,
I was at a few league games this year and he ran his markers into the ground and had several lads tried on him in a few games. While he did not score a lot he done the spadework for others to score and is a definite starter in my books. You may be jealous or something, but he is a good county player.

I know that the majority of people share your opinion mannix, but one does not have to be jealous to have a different opinion.  I just simply said that I do not rate him as mush as the management team seems to.  If I was jealous, it would be of Kerry, we have no one to touch Gooch, Declan O' Sullivan, Donaghy, Galvin and until we unearth this sort of quality we will never be at the races.

Mayo have got gradually worse under O' Mahoney IMO and I have yet to see a player who has improved from his coaching.  I would love to be more positive and would love to be proved wrong on all fronts.  You can slate me after the Sligo game if Moran runs riot.

What is it with Andy Moran and the current Mayo management .  I cannot believe that he is still on the team.  He is flying under the radar IMO.   Having watched him over the last couple of years for both club and county I fail to see why he is the sunshine boy.  True, he will get the odd soft point when the game is all but over, be it winning or losing, but in the heat of battle he brings nothing to the table.  His scoring record is woeful and why some might believe that he is a worker then those should compare him to Paul Galvin.......who is different class in all aspects of his game.

As for our management team in Mayo, its a bit like  3 Pinkies and the Brain.........

Looks like they are after Kevin Mcloughlin for Aussie Rules now , I hope thats wrong.  I can't see him going though and only hope that he gets an extended run at centre half forward this year on the Under 21 and Senior County team.  This would be his best position in my opinion and I only hope he gets a chance in this position instead of plugging a hole at corner back.

No. Your correct Farrandeelin. Clashed with a cup soccer match.

Even in Knockmore, a rural club, we have the same problem.  I believe we had 5 of our starting under 21 team missing against Ballinrobe for different reasons, but some were missing as a result of lads playing soccer.

I like all sports but after watching Ireland at the soccer the last evening I think I will give it a wide berth anymore.  The standard of local club soccer must be absolutely brutal.

Was not trying to be in anyway smart about that Castlebar forward, total ignorance on my part, I had no idea the lad got injured and had to pack it in. Another potential superstar lost to Mayo football

Should have put Kevin Cahill on my list, we never replaced him at full back, which shows how valuable he was to Mayo.

I would have Peter Butler on my team any day.....a class act who developed a bit later than others but was the heart and soul of the Knockmore team of the ninetys.....what happened to the corner forward from Castlebar in his later career

My Top 3

1. The Bomber Brogan
2. Ciaran Mc Donald
3. Kevin O' Neill

If I had to pick one it would be Brogan, at his best he was toatally untouchable and had it all, strength, speed, scoring ability......a pity he never managed to keep on the level when he was younger. A nice guy as well, who when young, trained harder than anyone.

Would agree that Joe Keane of Crossmolina is a notable ommission....one of the best forwards again in this years championship.

I thought Declan Sweeney was well deserving, drove the team on well in all of the games especially in the final and semi final.
