About
Green and Red is a fan’s eye website dedicated to the ups and downs of following Mayo’s footballing fortunes. While that is its core remit, it also covers (in a somewhat haphazard and, at times, an overtly biased manner) what’s happening in Gaelic football generally, both on and off the field.
The obsessive compulsive within me is also driving me to compile an archive of the county’s senior league and championship results down the years. This work in progress (which now stretches back half a century) is accessible on the site (predictably, in the “Results archive” section).
Needless to say, this site has no formal affiliation with nor any official benediction bestowed on it by the GAA. And, of course, I don’t answer on the street (or anywhere else) to the name(s) Willie Joe.
All those of you who might best be described as GAA-loving anoraks may be interested in the facts that (a) the site is hosted on Siteground and (b) is powered by WordPress. This site originally saw the light of day, in February 2007, on Blogger (here it is).
This site has on three occasions been shortlisted for the Irish Blog Awards within the Sports and Recreation category. In what may be viewed as a case of art imitating life, however, all three of these final appearances have ended with a failure to scoop the prize.
