Photo: Joe.ie Here’s a little All-Ireland final conceit: I was just thinking earlier on about all the games we’ve played this year and how many of them I managed to get to. I decided to do a quick tot of these to see what kind of distance this entailed. I’m far from the county’s best supporter. I missed two League […]
Photo: @ParaicJoyce I’m off out the door shortly, heading for the airport and off to London for tonight’s Mayo News football podcast Over for the Match event at the Oxford Arms in Camden Town. Throw-in time there for the event, which is being held in association with Ireland West Airport, is set for 9pm tonight. It’s set to be a […]
Photo: rte.ie We’re inching ever closer to Connacht final day – only nine days to go now – and while there’s little or no coverage about the match in the papers as yet, with Noel Connelly’s encouraging quote from the press night about all the squad being fit and ready the only morsel to chew on, time is ticking on […]
I could say it’s been non-stop for me today but that’s not quite true – I was going great guns 42 km into a 50 km cycle this morning when a puncture just outside St. Margaret’s brought an abrupt halt to my gallop. It’s been all go, though, since I finally managed to get back home but I can see […]
Image: floridatravellife.com While for most of us the arrival of the New Year means a return to normality and work and all that, this year it marks the start of a very well-earned holiday for the Mayo panel over in Florida. The lads are jetting out to Miami today, where typical temperatures at this time of year are in the high […]
I thought it might be an idea to let all and sundry know that I’m now well settled in a few thousand miles to the south of where I normally operate. You’ll no doubt sympathise with me when I tell you that the weather in Lagos has been largely overcast since I got here on Sunday evening, though perhaps I’ll […]
Just a quick note to say that I’m away for all of the next week, as I’m heading once again to west Africa where it promises to be hot but where, unfortunately, it’s work rather than holidays that awaits me. The last time I was there I managed to stay networked reasonably well so hopefully it’ll be the same on […]
I’m sitting in the rather cramped and crowded Air France lounge in departures at Murtala Muhammed airport in Lagos (anyone interested in the recent history of this country should take the time to Google that name in order to understand its incendiary value for many people over here) and my flight to Paris CDG in due to leave in a […]
I could be anywhere, sitting here as I am at a desk in a hotel room, a hotel room that looks much like any hotel room I’ve ever stayed in for work purposes over the years. I’m networked – after a fashion, mind, but still networked most of the time – so it would be easy to slip into trite […]
