Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

Yip Horan played him most. He got little to nothing in the last 2 years.

Scoring, he produced against the big teams, when he actually played.
Free, he came in under 50% on the frees. COC was the main free taker. McLoughs the other.
Freeman outscored Doherty on a scores to games ratio.

So you can have it every way you want really. He has produced against the big teams, his scoring to games ratio is as high as any forward we have or had on the panel in the last 5 years, he probably is a confidence player as are most forwards.

So you are trying to argue that he didnt score many frees? There are plenty of games where oconnor wasnt playing, you know that as well as i do. Plenty came from dead balls. But you fail to see the bigger picture - you are arguing on the back of his league performances; because you cant argue on his championship performances. So to claim he done it against the top sides is just nonsense.

Re doherty, the guy is a half forward workhorse. Freeman is a ff and free taker... If you are making that comparison i have lost interest in the discussion, because you are just trying to win a debate rather than talk honestly on the topic

Sad to see him go. We haven't too many 6 foot full forward line players capable of winning their own ball and scoring goals . A loss in my eyes to the county . Hope he reconsiders .

Listen, you dissed him as a forward, you dissed him not performing against the big teams, you dissed him as a player only scoring from frees, you dissed him on confidence. You then claim that the league is lesser than the championship. Read the stats, I've provided you the facts, big or small picture.

You've lost interest as your view is invalid, pointless, factless and as you normally do on the GAA forum you just want to get into an argument.

Any, I lost interest long ago, just wanted to show you up for the drivel you were pedaling.
And I am sure we will hear man barstooler pipe the same toilet talk.

Sorry but im not 'dissing' the guy at all. I fully respect that he gave his all for his county. Im just pointing out that in the cold light of day, he probably came up short - no shame in that. But just because someone gives their 100%, doesnt mean you cant critique the guys performance. That is nonsense.

Id also point out that Im not the guy painting him as some mental pushover who couldnt manage to get over the fact that he was subbed in one game for the rest of his sporting career. And then a nice 'fair play' to him for scoring for us in the league, because the league is all important all of a sudden. Do you not see how patronising that is?

Audioslaven

You just have to admire Keegan and for everything he does on the pitch. I hope Westport do the business and he gets the medal he truly deserves along with the young bucks in the team. I am sure alot of the guys look up to him big time with his attitude and drive.
What a season for him if they win on Sunday and maybe he could do it again on another sunday in september. He comes across as a run of the mill guy in interview as well.

CHC 16.02.17: Tom Parsons (Mayo) Charge Proven - contributing to a melee. One match suspension imposed. Full statement to follow.

So just to be clear
ONE PLAYER has been charged for contributing to a MELEE

What an absolute joke of an organization
He needs to get the number for D Connollys solicitor

It's grand, only the first appeal. These things usually take two or three. :rolleyes:

Mayo can expect a major boost in March with the return of the O Shea brothers,Seamus and Aidan,while Ger Cafferkey is likely to be making his first appearance since an injury kept him out for all of last year's championship.

Mayo manager Stephen Rochford has confirmed to The Connaught Telegraph today that all three are back in training and he expects them to be available in March as Mayo's National League programme gets down to the serious end of things with games against Dublin on March 4,Cavan on March 19,Tyrone on March 26 and their last game against Donegal on April 2.

The win over Kerry has boosted Mayo's league hopes but their first half performance,especially in defence,left a lot to be desired,with David Clarke coming to the rescue on more than one occasion.

The return of Cafferkey,who was unable to play any part in Mayo's championship last year due to a hamstring injury,is a huge boost as Mayo seek to sort out their defensive problems ahead of their clash with Roscommon at MacHale Park on Saturday night,February 25.

Aidan O Shea has not played any football since picking up an ankle injury while training with Sligo basketball team EJs,who qualifed for the National Intermediate Cup final where O Shea watched from the wings,while Seamus O Shea is also back from injury and in full training.

Rochford has already let a number of players go from his panel and more are to be released in the coming weeks as he gets down to selecting his final panel ahead of the championship with a few tough calls to make in respect a number of players very much on the periphery of making the final squad.

Alan Freeman has left the panel,the manager citing the work commitments by the Aghamore man which has curtailed him from giving the commitment necessary for 2017.

Does anyone believe that statement?

Barlett

What difference does it make? He probably couldn't commit when he's not sure of getting a game. Hardly a conspiracy

TBH that's would not be a huge surprise,Keith Higgins has been on the road for a very long time.There's nothing I'd like more than for him to go out on a high.Please God this will be the year.

As a Murrisk man (James Gill hails from the locality), and by extension a Westport man too, I fully accept your well wishes!

Great comments by Richie Power after Carrickshock won the IHC final yesterday. Even though he won loads of Senior intercounty titles with Kilkenny he reckons yesterday tops the lot. Really shows the importance of the club in the GAA hierarchy.

They had the Junior and Intermediate semi finals from Ennis on it. Was superb to have it for my Dad. Connect the laptop to the TV and he is all set.

The junior final is heating up. Nice bit of bite to it.

It's a superb stream.Far superior to previous occasions.
