At least,they can’t play in NY anymore if they’ve been named on a panel of 26 in the championship here.

Time to move on from the two O’Sheas, Cillian O’Connor, Alan Dillon and Andy Moran at this stage. They’ve had a decade picking at it now.

They need someone who played the game, understands the politics of Mayo football, maybe even someone who walked away over it.

Just heard. Terrible. God rest em.

That happened in Limerick no?

Looks as if it may have unless it’s another one

Near patrickswell.

Rip.

RIP to them all.

And a link to Faldo’s club too. Tragic.

Looks like straight stretch of road

I think it’s around where it goes from a 2 lane motorway into a single lane road

Must be around the same place where there was a young fella killed around a year or two ago, he was only in National school but took the parents’ car and was killed driving back out to NCW.

A second heavyweight managerial ticket has emerged in Mayo as the race to succeed James Horan heats up.

All-Ireland winning U21 manager Mike Solan is understood to have named Armagh’s Aidan O’Rourke, Sligo All Star Eamonn O’Hara, ex league of Ireland manager Alan Murphy and former Mayo player Mark Ronaldson as part of his backroom team as deadline for applications closed today (Friday).

The highly-respected O’Rourke has had stints with Down, Armagh and Kildare as a coach and also had a spell in charge of the Louth footballers. O’Rourke, who is named as team coach, also works as Performance Sport manager at Queens University.

O’Hara has garnered significant managerial experience, winning multiple Sligo titles with his native Tourlestrane as well as taking roles with a number of different clubs in Connacht. Murphy had a spell in charge of Galway United and is the club’s record scorer and is in charge of Galway club side Oughterard. Ronaldson, who featured regularly in Mayo squads over the past decade or so, will also have a role.

It’s also thought that Mike Solan’s brother Barry, the first team strength and conditioning coach at Premier league outfit Arsenal, will offer his expertise to the new set up.

The news comes after it emerged that a Kevin McStay-led ticket of Stephen Rochford, Donie Buckley, Liam McHale and Damien Mulligan expressed an interest in the role on Thursday. Ray Dempsey has also been linked to the role

He surely has Barry too
