The debate here on the blog over the past 24 hours has, somewhat oddly, been focused on a match the county wasn’t involved in at all yesterday, with the one we did play generating very little interest in comparison. Time to redress that balance, then, by looking at the coverage of Mayo’s dramatic win over Galway in yesterday’s LGFA All-Ireland […]
We know all about the heady mixture of excitement and nervousness that comes with being one of the final four in the Championship but this year, for the second season in a row and for only the third time since 2010, the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals don’t feature us. If we were involved, we would, of course, have been fully focused […]
As we, not without difficulty, alter our focus towards Salthill, where on Sunday we face a do-or-die meeting with Galway, we’re being forced to confront more than a few painful home truths. Where has our great form in the early part of the year gone to? Is our National League success going to be followed, not for the first time, […]
Right, it’s time to begin the countdown to the Cork game. We’re playing them this coming Sunday at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick in what’s an All-Ireland SFC group stage Round 3 clash. Down’s Paul Faloon is the ref and the match throws in at 2pm. It’ll be streamed live on GAAGO. Our task next Sunday is a straightforward one […]
There was a glut of Championship action on today, with more of the same – this time including us – on tomorrow, but from our perspective the main match of interest was the one that took place this afternoon at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. We’re playing Cork in a fortnight – When? Where? At what time? One of these fine days […]
Over the past week, we released four new shows on the Mayo Football Podcast and in this episode Rob Murphy and I provide a sample of this content, almost all of which was made available first to our club members on Patreon. Voices you’ll hear on this show include Colm Boyle, Marc Ó Sé, Edwin McGreal and Billy Joe Padden as they looked back on […]
It’s been another busy week on the Mayo Football Podcast, where club members have again had access to loads of new audio content, both leading up to and after the match against Kerry in Killarney on Saturday, while we also kept tabs on the Minors’ progress on Friday evening. Voices you’ll hear on this episode, in which we showcase some […]
Right, the votes are in and counted and the result is a clear one. With 27% support in the poll, you’ve selected Aidan O’Shea as our Man of the Match from yesterday’s victory over Kerry in Killarney. The Breaffy clubman also collected the MOTM award on GAAGO yesterday. Aidan’s clubmate Matthew Ruane also saw his huge shift yesterday acknowledged in […]
I’m still in the Kingdom with a drive back to the capital to do soon after what has been a short but extremely satisfactory stay here. I think satisfaction, rather than any outpouring of euphoria, is the dominant emotion for Mayo supporters this morning after what was a fine day’s work by the lads at Fitzgerald Stadium yesterday. It was […]
Back in 2019, the only previous time when Mayo played Kerry in the Championship at Fitzgerald Stadium, the day felt like a huge occasion. The place was packed, there was a big Mayo crowd there and while we were no match for the home team, it felt as if we’d all been part of a big GAA summer day. Today […]
