As Mayo Mick alluded to earlier on in the comments, today is a day of some meaning here on the site as it’s exactly six years since its inception. My, how time flies …
The more that time goes by, the more I wonder how much longer I can keep this going but, don’t worry, I’m not going to descend into a Beckettian must-go-on-can’t-go-on-will-go-on monologue at this point. Instead, it’s best to reflect on what has been an interesting six years punctuated by a few exhilarating highs as well as a few crashing lows. Par for the course as a #mayogaa supporter, you might say.
Thanks for walking the road with me over the past six years and here’s to good times on the road that lies ahead of us.
Great blog /website Willie joe…. lonh may it continue.. Great place to read about Mayo GAA and listen to opinions… even if i don’t agree with all of them!! Happy Birthday!!
Happy B Mr WJ! I hope you are still writing when we win the big one however long that may take!
not sure if you read my comments under the podcast article but i just updated them with some interesting news
Thanks, NS – I’ve just seen it now. Fair play to Sean Moran for holding his hands up in that way. Hope our performances merit his close attention to us over the next few weeks!
Happy birthday WJ!
I hope you continue with the site for a long time to come. Always my first port of call on all matters #mayogaa
Keep up the good work

Its and interesting one with both Lee and Richie being named in the half forward line. Not sure I like Lee here and think he should be maintained in the half back line, but time will tell on that front.
Will be interesting to see how Kevin McLoughlin plays also; if he drops deep and has a license to roam or if he plays more traditional corner forward role (I doubt it).
Dont like the way the team is set up and looks like JH is try,n out a few things, better waiting till later in the leag. for that, we need to get a couple early wins on board espec. that our first 2 games at home, cant comment on a few the selections and ther positions there start,n until we see the team for ourselfs tomorrow performing….we hav to win and be sending out a message for the coming months especially stating with kerry an tyrone next sunday[they hav,t gone away]…priceless what 2 wins against ky. n tyr. woud do for the cofidence in the team heading for croker in afew weeks time….
Great site, a must read , thanks WJ.
