By the time we take the field at Croke Park this afternoon, just five counties will remain in the hunt for the Sam Maguire this year. Our All-Ireland quarter-final tie against Dublin is the final one of four such fixtures being played this weekend and it throws in at HQ at 4pm, preceded by the Cork/Derry game at 1.45pm. David […]
Alright. So, I shouldn’t have taken the Galway flag from its perfectly positioned place on our kitchen door and thrown it on the ground on Sunday night. And it probably wasn’t a good idea to sing – to the air of ‘If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands’ – “You can stick your Connacht medal up your […]

We should be naming our 26 for Sunday shortly but, on this one at least, the Dubs have beaten us to the punch. Here’s their match-day 26:
Is it only me but is this week going very slowly? It’s Wednesday so there’s still a bit of time left to go before we lock horns once again in the Championship against Dublin. Plenty of time, in other words, to have a look at what’s online relating to our clash with the Dubs on Sunday. Sunday’s fixture brings back […]
Like the way we were paired with Galway last Monday, there was an air of inevitability about this morning’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final draw. It would have to be us against the Dubs, wouldn’t it? Of course it would. Of course it was. The match has now been fixed for Sunday at Croke Park with a 4pm throw-in. David Gough of […]
The GAA have now confirmed fixture details for next weekend. Our All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Dublin will be played at Croke Park on Sunday, where throw-in will be 4pm. David Gough of Meath will ref it. The Derry/Cork quarter-final will also be played that day, with that game throwing in at 1.45pm. Joe McQuillan has the whistle for that one. […]
The draw for next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals has just been made. We’ve been paired with Dublin. Dates and times for next weekend’s last eight fixtures, which will all be played at Croke Park, are expected to be confirmed at some stage today. Rob and I will be recording a bonus episode of the Mayo Football Podcast a short while […]
As expected, Louth will occupy the spot reserved for the beaten Leinster finalists in Group 1 of the upcoming All-Ireland SFC group stage. They lost out this afternoon in the Leinster decider to Dublin, who wrapped up their gazillionth provincial title in a row on a scoreline of 5-21 to 0-15. As the Leinster runners-up, Louth now join Kerry, ourselves […]
With our second emphatic win in a week, the coverage we’re getting at the minute makes for easy reading. I’ve a particular interest myself in seeing the reports on last night’s match, as I wasn’t at it and only caught some of the first half on Midwest. I’m really looking forward to sitting down in front of the TV and […]
