Summer’s back! It certainly felt like that down at the Connacht GAA HQ in Bekan last week where the 2017 Connacht championship was launched and where host Rob Murphy and I, along with a cast of veritable luminaries, recorded the first Mayo News football podcast of the summer.

Photo: Galway Bay FM I’m just back in the door from a day in the west, where, in sizzling Bekan, I attended the official launch of this year’s Connacht championship. The weather was absolutely glorious there today, perfect conditions to fire the starting gun for this year’s provincial championship west of the Shannon. Whether or not the provincial championships should […]
It’s Mayo News football podcast time again and this one is a bumper end-of-League campaign one. Starting off, host Rob Murphy and I go through the action as it unfolded at MacHale Park yesterday where we were joined in the packed stand by ex-Mayo player and RTÉ pundit John Casey. After the final whistle sounded, Rob gets Seán Rice’s thoughts […]
The latest edition of the Mayo News football podcast is out and this one was recorded yesterday in the aftermath of our narrow but hugely satisfying win over Tyrone up in Omagh.

In this edition host Rob Murphy is joined by Ger Flanagan, Seán Rice and Edwin McGreal of the Mayo News and also by Micky Brennan of the We Are Cavan podcast. There’s also […]
Monday morning so that means it’s Mayo News football podcast time. It’s not a cheery episode either, I’m afraid, as it focuses on the horror show that was our tanking by Dublin at Croke Park on Saturday night. Because it was at Croke Park, Rob and I went our separate ways for this one. Rob hosts the show from up […]
The bad news is that it’s Monday morning once more (even worse news for the kids, back to school today after mid-term) but the good news is that the latest version of the Mayo News football podcast is live and ready to listen to. This one was recorded in MacHale Park on Saturday night, in and around the League victory […]
The latest edition of the Mayo News football podcast is now available, this one covering Saturday evening’s great win over Kerry down in Tralee. Host Rob Murphy and I were on the terrace together at Austin Stack Park and it’s from there that most of this week’s podcast was recorded. We do our in-match chat (where, as you can imagine, […]
New year, new arrangements. I normally start the week after a game with a round-up of the match reports – and I’ll get to those a bit later on – but before that there’s some Monday morning aural entertainment for you. So, plug in those earbuds and get tuned in to the latest edition of the Mayo News football podcast. […]
Part Two of the blog’s tenth birthday celebrations comes in the form of an aural treat. It’s a Mayo News football podcast special, which covers life, football and ten years of the blog. In this podcast special, host Rob Murphy and I went to see Ciaran Murphy at the Second Captains studios off Fitzwilliam Square up here in the capital. There […]
