The start of another year of football action is now but days away. So, after several weeks where things have been very quiet on here, once the action gets going again this coming Sunday it’s likely to be a bit more lively. That means more comments. As ever, most of the comments posted on here won’t be a problem because […]
The issue about comments posted here on the blog bubbled up – appropriately enough – in the comments last night. When I caught up on what had been posted I said I’d come back to the issue again and so here I am. As I’ve said here repeatedly, the generally civil nature of exchanges amongst contributors here on the blog […]
It’s the day before our opening League match of the year so time to point you towards a few bits and pieces relating to the game and let you know what to expect here on the blog and the podcast and all that. First off, Mayo County Council have issued a safety message (here), which is mainly about parking on […]
Photo: RTÉ I’m a bit late, I know, to the party on the Lee Keegan story that’s been all over the media in the last 36 hours or so.

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 […]
This one has been on my mind for some time but the recent manner in which things have turned a bit ugly on the comments side of the site means that I can’t put it off any longer. I know there’s plenty of anger, frustration, disappointment and all the rest swirling round the joint since Sunday week but I feel […]
As we look ahead to the prospect of our appearing in an All-Ireland final for a second successive year, it’s obvious that the Mayo football team is a pretty hot topic of conversation right now and this is reflected in the volume of comments here on the site, both from long established posters and from new arrivals, over the last […]
