Our semi-final isn’t, I know, on until the weekend after next but there’s as much, if not more, coverage today about the match on August 30th as there is on the non-sold-out semi between Kerry and Tyrone this coming Sunday. Here’s a quick gallop through what’s out there today. The first piece to point you towards is the Jim McGuinness […]
There was a press night at MacHale Park yesterday evening (presumably this was the one for the quarter-final and if so the raw material for all the interviews you’ll be reading next week would have been gathered there) and this piece by Daragh Small in the Irish Examiner has some positive news on the injury front. That piece is, by […]
Photo: The 42 There I was saying there was nothing in the way of news and along comes Colm Gannon in the Mayo Advertiser with a great, detailed informative piece with Noel Connelly about the team, Barry Solan and more – here. I’m rushing out the door now but the short version is that Diarmuid O’Connor is our only doubt […]
Photo: Irish Examiner The pre-Salthill press event was held the other evening, to give the Fourth Estate plenty of raw material to work with for next week’s pre-match coverage, and some stuff from then has already started to appear. Colm Gannon in today’s Mayo Advertiser is the first of the locals to provide some coverage on this and his piece with […]
Start of the week, kids still comatose upstairs – their body clocks thinking it’s an hour earlier and no school to get roused for – but it’s a busy week work-wise before the Easter break. And match reports to wade through first. Before delving into the reports on the game themselves, it’s worth looking at this handy overview by John […]
It’s Monday and thankfully this week we’re already done with the match reports from Saturday night. I think we might be done too with the worst of the post-match outpouring of anguish and so we should, I hope, be able to start moving on to thinking about where Saturday’s result leaves us and where we go to from here. The […]
Only a few hours now until the first proper competitive match of the Holmes/Connelly era gets underway, with a tasty League Division One opener against Kerry down in Killarney. Hopefully those of you who made it down there yesterday aren’t suffering too much from last night and that everyone else travelling down this morning arrives without incident. With both sides […]
I meant to do this earlier on but I’m under a bit of pressure at the minute so here quickly are a few things you’ll no doubt be interested in. First up is Colm Gannon’s interview with Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly for the Mayo Advertiser. The co-managers met the local press for the first time at the event in […]
Photo: @MayoGAA via Twitter It’s taken four days – and a series of increasingly giddy tweets from @MayoGAA since it was recorded, heralding its imminent approach – to get the interview conducted last Saturday at MacHale Park by County Board PRO Aiden McLoughlin with new managers Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes up on YouTube but tonight it finally happened. Here […]
Photo: mentioningthewar.blogspot.com It shouldn’t come as a surprise, I know, but it’s still a bit stunning that tonight’s County Board meeting didn’t result in any resignations. Instead, all that was proffered by County Board Chairman Paddy McNicholas was a fairly lame apology for last weekend’s unedifying events, which then segued into what sounded like an incoherent debate about Kevin McStay’s “package” (the […]
