Horan happy but more work to do

The biting cold of the tunnel under the stand in McHale Park was the venue for James Horan's latest debriefing with the press pack following Mayo's sixth game in this years national league. In a freezing cold wind that wouldn't be out of place at the start of the FBD League, things were kept short and to the point. Asked about his initial thoughts on the game the Ballintubber man said, We showed a lot of character and hard work and honest endeavor today, so I'm delighted with that. We made hard enough work of it from a scoring point of view. We turned over a huge amount of their ball, we won a huge number of turn overs today, so that's ultimately what won it for us today. I'm delighted with the two points and we can look forward now.

Mayo ran up another double digit total of wides over the seventy minutes and that's something that he knows has to be improved on. We should have won it by a lot more, but we didn't and we lacked maybe a bit of confidence and panicking on the shot. But we kept going and kept plugging away so that's far more rewarding and beneficial for the team, we got the two points and we're delighted. In all the games we've played, we've played a lot of good football at times, but we've been way to inconsistent for division one football. We kept it going today and that was our first aim.Shop wholesale solarlight controller from cheap.

Mayo also managed to grab themselves a goal from a forward for the first time in a long time. But it was only a matter of time before it happened Horan said, It's the first goal by a forward this year I think, but we've been creating some chances of late, so it was only a matter of time before one or two of them go in.

Where to play Aidan O'Shea has become a water cooler topic around the county, with the big Breaffy man posted at centre half forward again on Sunday. James was happy with Aidan's overall play and that of the midfield duo he selected behind him. Aidan played very well today,Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors. he's a very, very smart player and he did very well. He covered a lot defensively, and he got's got some streaking power going forward as well. Look at it, Barry and Seamie were excellent in the middle of the field as well, so that's working for us.

With Cork left in the league in a fortnights time it's all about picking the win up there and not looking past it for Horan. It's the same as it was before, it's a game we've got to go down and win. You wan't competitive games and you want as many competitive games as you can. If you can get to the semi-finals all the better, but if not it's not the end of the world either.

With Congress passing the 'black card' motion yesterday, the Mayo manager was asked his view on the the decision and how it thought it would effect the game. I don't know if it will bed in that seamlessly.Choose from the largest selection of plasticmoulds in the world. It's hard to know how it will work. I know if you looked at last nights game, I saw on Twitter that there would have been 12 or 14 black cards out there. I'm not sure of the full rules but it will be interesting to see. I think the refs have a difficult job, I think there's a lot of inconsistency in referring and this might add to the confusion. If it improves the game, we've no choice to go with it at this stage and lets see what it does.

After all, Akufo-Addo is fighting to be Ghanas President and we all know how the leadership crisis facing our country has negatively affected its development efforts. We must know what sort of leader he might beand character counts a lot, doesnt it?

I begin with this observation, which is my main beef: Despite all that he is suffering from his detractors, Akufo-Addo hasnt been bold to sue anybody defaming his character all these years. Why?

That he is happy to be constantly defamed by all manner of people? That he is a peace-lover and, therefore, wont take action against those defaming his character? Or simply that he is not interested in litigation on that score, even though the allegations continue to paint him black and damage his political interests? My inference is simple: he is a victim of his own miscalculation.

You see, when the outcome of Election 2012 was announced and Akufo-Addo felt politically hurt, he didnt leave anything to chance. He dashed to the Supreme Court to seek redress, pursuing his petition with an unprecedented alacrity. He did so because he felt something wrong had been done to him and wont relent, even when some voices in his own political camp have questioned the justification for the lawsuit.

We see a different aspect of Akufo-Addo when it comes to the tarnishing of his image by detractors. Does he not feel that something bad is being done to him to warrant his being concerned enough to seek redress? We recall that he retreated instead of attacking,How cheaply can I build a bobbleheads?Find a great selection of customkeychain deals. except on one occasion when he made a half-hearted attempt to sue those making the allegations that ended in smoke; that threat to sue those making the allegations didnt lead anywhere nor did the allegations stop being made.

When Kofi Coomson (Ghanaian Chronicle) said before the 2008 elections that he couldnt sleep with his eyes shut if Akufo-Addo became Ghanas President, he raised many eyebrows. Akufo-Addo didnt challenge Coomson on that score, leaving Ghanaians wondering if he didnt think that utterance was damaging to his reputation.

Akufo-Addo had the best chance in his life to take prompt legal action over those allegations when the Wikileaks wire taps on happenings in Ghana (courtesy the US Embassy) were published, one of which revealed Kwesi Pratts damning allegations of wee-smoking against him.

What did he do, even when he had documentary evidence to act decisively to end the spate of allegations? He glossed over such damning revelations with a mere shrug of the shoulders and sought refuge in Ehuru a ebe dwo (The boiling or blustering will eventually simmer down). Silence is golden!
