There's More Than A Whiff Of Bullshit About These 'Jim McGuinness And Mayo' Rumours

There's More Than A Whiff Of Bullshit About These 'Jim McGuinness And Mayo' Rumours

On Friday, Martin Carney was on 'The Last Word' and he made a slightly startling claim about Mayo's preparation for tomorrow's All-Ireland final:

In their last weekend in Limerick they had Jim McGuinness down speaking to them.

Jim McGuinness obviously isn't coming down to talk about forward play...it has to be to look at defence.

Carney's claim was discussed on 'Off the Ball' this afternoon, with ex-Mayo player David Brady seeming to verify the remarks...

...before, quite hilariously, being texted during the show by someone to tell him that it wasn't true.

Former Donegal footballer Eamon McGee said he would be "surprised" if Mayo had taken in McGuinness so soon before the final, saying of his former manager that he thought "if he was going to get involved in the future that it would be his own team".

John Fogarty was on the ball this morning, tweeting out that, if McGuinness did come in to talk, it wasn't something Mayo were prepared to admit.

Other sources abounded with various unconfirmed reports.

 

Is this the ultimate display of cute hoor-ism from the Mayo camp? Maybe so.

Further rumours abound that Jim McGuinness and Martin Carney are secretly engaged in a devious sub-plot to completely undermine the achievements of every All-Ireland winning team post-McGuinness era.

When contacted by Balls, Marty Morrissey denied involvement in any such plot.
