I think most people will agree by now that the dispute that has occurred between Mayo GAA and the Mayo GAA International Supporters Foundation (which, for the sake of brevity, I’ll refer to simply as the Foundation) is a hugely regrettable mess. I don’t, though, want to dwell on the dispute itself in this piece. Instead my aim is to […]
The Mayo News is out, with loads about last weekend, loads more about this coming weekend and loads more besides. Let’s start with last weekend, where there’s Ed McGreal’s match report from O’Moore Park and another piece by Ed where he speaks with Alan Freeman. The Aghamore man makes light of the horrendous deflection that resulted in his goal, saying that […]
This report in the Mayo News confirms that work will shortly restart on McHale Park, which will see the protracted redevelopment project finally completed by April this year. As this report makes clear, there are three drivers for making this happen, i.e. Croke Park’s acceptance of the Fundraising and Finance plan put forward by the County Board and the consequent […]
If you haven’t heard of Cáirde Mhuigeo yet, then the chances are that you will do so soon. A useful primer in this respect is this piece by Edwin McGreal in the Mayo News which summarises what this initiative is all about. In essence, Cáirde Mhuigeo aims to bring under one roof the various different supporters’ groupings that have developed […]
We may not be in the All-Ireland final this year (although our house here in the capital has officially declared for the Dubs) but I’m sure there’ll be plenty out there who might be interested in getting a ticket or two for Croke Park on Sunday week. If you are, then you might want to give Club Mayo Dublin’s ticket […]
Daire has been on to request a plug, which I’m more than happy to provide, for the cracking pre-Connacht final event that Club Mayo Dublin and Roscommon GAA have jointly organised for this coming Wednesday (July 13th) in the Hilton Hotel on Charlemont Place (which is located across the road from that noted watering hole, The Barge). What they’ve done […]
Club Mayo Dublin have posted some info for members about ticket orders for the Galway match – details here. The short version of same is that if you want to order tickets for June 26th, you need to do so via email (to clubmayo@gmail.com) by this Friday evening and then collect them at Jury’s Croke Park Hotel between 8.30 pm and 9 […]
A mare of a Monday lies ahead for me so this one needs to be quick. So quickly here are a number of reports on yesterday’s defeat to Monaghan: Mayo Advertiser, Independent, Times, Examiner, Hogan Stand, RTÉ, BBC, Setanta and Breaking News. That’s more than enough for you. Here – I’ll save you even more time. The best one to […]
The Mayo News has some early-in-the-week information on who might or might not feature for us in Sunday’s shit-or-bust inconsequential league match with Monaghan at Iniskeen (throw-in 2.30 pm). As was reported by Hogan Stand earlier on today, Aidan O’Shea is out of Sunday’s match, having hurt (but not broken) his thumb against Cork. Tom Cunniffe, who was withdrawn at […]
For those of you still wondering if today is Monday or Friday (and, to be sure, there a bit of both about the day today) the fact that it’s weekend prediction time should help to clear up any confusion you might still have. There’s a full slate of matches again this weekend and your facetheball mini-league predictions need to be […]
