Would Keith Ruttledge not be worth a run instead of Mikey Sweeney or Jason Doherty for a change if nothing else? I must be missing something when I'm watching these two boys!!

The love in with Vincent and Michelle was fairly obvious on the Monday night. Nice to see that love in between the two of them continueing on Wednesday with a spot of lunch in the Posthouse in Ballina. A personal interview I'd say😁

2 out of our 6 cards have not been updated.  2 of us went through a different booth to the other 4.  The machine beeped, said enter and everything appeared to work normally.  I have a feeling that there must have been a problem from at least one of the scanning machines.  I hope that they sort it out fast.

Over in plenty of time, hopefully not 2 1/2 hours on the way back our we're goosed.  Flight back is around 8:30 pm.  Have car rented and my research says a 45 min drive.......
Car and you're sound so!
It would take 2.5 via train and tube I reckon.

Car rental is only about €35 for a small car for the day, so happy days...

Thinking of going to Ruislip for the London game on May 29th.  Anyone know if the time is set for the game yet? If anyone knows where the best spot would be to stay on the 29th for a bit of banter and craic it would be appreciated.

What we could do with Stephen Rochford now in Mayo. Even as a Knockmore man I have to admit he has Corofin playing a lovely brand of football. They can actually kick pass......wow. Can our senior team not be trained to kick pass?????

I for one don't feel sorry for Connelly and Holmes, they are up to their eyes in this mess.  You would think that they were naive innocent little boys, the way some people are talking.  Out Out Out.......

Rule No. 1 and the only rule for an appointment as Mayo Manager......you must be a die-hard blue-shirt.  No non Fine Gael heads need apply.........not sure what political colour McStay is, nor do I care, but if he's not a lover of our esteemed leader Enda he might as well forget about the job straight away. 

That said, N.C has a mighty track record, sure didn't he put a fine roof on the shed in McHale Park.........

My own opinion is that there should be no going back to the past and McStay should be given a crack at it..........down the line I see one Andy Moran as our next manager in waiting!!!!!!!

My prediction of September 4th holds true.  Not surprised in the least.  Not only does the County Board need to go, but Connelly and Holmes need to withdraw as well.  They were complicate in all that was going on and are just as guilty as the chairman.  Shame on them as well...........

Agree moy, how in Christ's holy name did Holmes leave O'Reilly on Connolly is totally beyond me. Managerial genius??? Pffh.

And a campaign started already at home to replace Horan with this geezer. Jesus wept! you couldn t make it up.

Richie Feeney didn t help matters either. He could have done a job at the back and would def have added something going forward.

Anyway congrats to St. Vincents. They could have scored goals every time they went down the field.

I reckon Holmes wanted to pass on the lesson that he had learned to Eoghan O'Reilly; he experienced at first hand from running around after Maurice Fitzgerald what it's like to be stuck marking a class player for a whole game.  Just shows you how well he learned his management craft from Maughan.  Mayo God help us, if he is our next county manager.

Well done to Vincents, great performance today.

On a positive note for Mayo, Tom Cunniffe, Barry Moran and young Patrick Durcan will be welcome additions to the Mayo senior set up.  I was really impressed with Durcan today.  He was class for Mayo minors a couple of seasons back and he is really starting to take it to the next level.

Poor Joe Brolly is still under the weather after his late night in Knockmore!
