It’s always bloody Mayo, says Conor Mortimer

Former Mayo star Conor Mortimer believes that the player-generated attempt to remove the county’s joint senior football team managers Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly has been brewing for some time.

But the Parnell’s clubman is reluctant to apportion blame to the pair for Mayo’s failure to win the All-Ireland title.

Instead, Mortimer believes that clubs in the county have questions to answer after appointing the duo in the first place — and he insisted that poor defending and a lack of scoring power cost Mayo on the field against Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final replay.
