The waxing lyrical about the issues with the Mayo Footballing Psyche Thread

[myboyblue]

My apologies, I didn’t realise it as in print, I took it from social media. Throw up the correct article

[Raylan]

They’re his quotes from the Examiner pod alright, but that wasn’t they way he said it iirc

[myboyblue]

Ah I see.

It would, there’s an amount of Irish young fellas that would absolutely dream of doing it and they’d have to be very clever the way they go about it. Powerful stuff from Aido there, he is basically saying the genie is out of the bottle, we just aren’t being paid.

Professional GAA is not a product that would be attractive to the public. Professional sport depends entirely on money and thus depends entirely on public interest. The entire appeal of GAA is based on playing for where you come from. If you professionalise that, players will no longer play for where they come from because it will be a job, and thus restricting transfers will violate EU law, and thus the public will have no interest.

Things like this have been imagined in the past.

Start date now adjourned to 2029.

GAA Superleague - One Life, One Franchise

Club and county GAA is dead. Please suggest franchise names and general ideas for the forthcoming 16 team Gaelic Football Superleague and 10 team Hurling Superleague, to start in 2019. It’s two whole new ball games.

Aido summing up well there why such a gap developed between the haves and have-nots. Weaker counties finished for the year in June, stronger counties stay going until late September, or October as in 2016. Tailteann and split season have taken away some of that advantage and we are now seeing an equalising of standards emerge.

Absolutely. Last year’s Tanita Tikaram Cup winners Meath demonstrated that this year with their exceedingly competitive performances in the Leinster championship and round robin.

[myboyblue]

Yes, you can see the difference it’s made to Westmeath for sure

[Halfpipe]

You can see it in Down as well, the Tailteann semi-finals were the best double-header this season. The very top teams are coming back to the pack a little as well, Dublin and Kerry nowhere near as dominant as AI finalists from previous years have tended to look.

Dublin’s decline is apparently due to the existence Trans-Europe Express Cup.

I’ve heard it all now!

Can’t believe there was lads from here asking him for the baywatch photos

[myboyblue]

Aidan is a good lad. The abuse he got was disgraceful

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

remember he did that trading places show with a guy who played with the Miami dolphins & he was way more arrogant and up himself than the millionaire pro athlete

Why would anyone be bothered sending him a letter? DHOTY
