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

Up to and including 1991. Brian McDonald was manager for 1992 and infamously had the players pushing cars around car parks.

Didn’t Jack O’Shea succeed McDonald?

O’Shea was Mayo manager in 1993 and 1994. That was end of his inter-county managerial career.

McDonald was actually the most successful Mayo manager in the period between the 1989 and 1996 All-Ireland appearances. He won Connacht beating Roscommon comfortably and lost the semi-final to Donegal by 4 points.

Donegal hit 18 wides, mind you.

Grrrrrrrr modern teams with their training camps, backroom teams and video analysis.

Informative. Didn’t realise O’ Mahoney was there for a further two years. Roscommon won Connaught both years.

O’Shea was in charge in 1994.

There were a disaster back then. Maughan pulled them out of the gutter.

That’s the type of thing that is ridiculed when you lose but cited as genius if you win. Dave Weldrick had the Kerry team running up mountains with sheep on their backs.

They should of kept him for that tracksuit alone! David Icke would have been proud of it.

Aido is focused on his task with Breaffy; let no man come between him and his destiny

Cillian O’Connor opting out from the Mayo panel but not retiring apparently.

Fairly pointed at McStay I’d imagine.

I notice that the ‘Condolences’ section in the late Padraig Nallys RIP death notices appears to have been suspended. There were some strange observations therein.
