Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "That's something else alright. Mayo for Sam is in full flow now and really only Mayo can stop Mayo now." LOl galway or Rossies for sam more like it what a load of so & so...... S1234 (Mayo) - Posts: 856 - 24/02/2026 21:34:28 2658466 Link
Replying To Cumann1: "There wasn't 7 pages about Kobe" There absolute was. Who are you trying to fool? Or did you not read the paper because I did. Let's go through them, if you must. Sports cover: A photo of Kobe celebrating with a headline entitled "Teen spirit". Page 2: Column from Mark Ronaldson with a title: "Impossible to shelter our new star from hype". Page 3: Interview with Andy Moran with a headline: "Andy on Kobe: 'He's a real talented boy'. Page 4: James Laffey piece. Headline: 'McDonald is already in rarefied company' Page 5: Match report from Anthony Hennigan. Headline "Cyclone Kobe strikes Clones as Moran's Mayo run riot". Eight of the first nine paragraphs are about Kobe. Page 6: A column from Aonghus O Maicin. Headline: "Nothing quite like the irreverence of youth". Admittedly, doesn't start with Kobe focus but his name is in the first sentence. However, the second half of the article is named "Act II - The Kobe Show". Page 7: Edwin McGreal piece. "A debut to remember for not your ordinary Mayo teenager." I wonder who that would be about. TanCanRan (Galway) - Posts: 328 - 24/02/2026 22:49:17 2658473 Link
Replying To MayoDan: "Any hyperbole about Kobe McDonald since Sunday has come from outside Mayo i.e. RTE, Off The Ball and even the official gaa Instagram. Genuinely haven't heard one Mayo pundit even talk about him. Yet everyone says Mayo will lose the run of themselves now. Roscommon were the team celebrating wildly after a league win last weekend, not Mayo." Get yourself a copy of the Western People. Mustn't be Mayo people writing for it…..

Replying To TanCanRan: "Get yourself a copy of the Western People. Mustn't be Mayo people writing for it….." Galway people reading the western people now.. kind of proves my point that everyone outside Mayo has an unhealthy obsession. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 512 - 25/02/2026 09:53:26 2658493 Link
