Outdoor sporting events are not the problem, in fact I’d argue they’ve benefitted people post-lockdown mentally and physically more than anything else. So disappointing that sport is being impacted by other facets of wrongdoing

I thought twice about posting these images I recieved lastnight as I have no proof that they're genuine. But if I don't and this takes place in

This is so bizarre and disappointing from Kellie Harrington and really well handled by Shane Hannon.
Press woman in the background makes it sound even worse.
I don’t know has anyone ever highlighted this but I’m willing to go out on a whim here and say that our National broadcaster’s coverage of our of national game is beyond terrible

**S&C guy does job - gets called egotistical** 🙈 As someone he knows him and worked with him, Conor Finn is as good an 'S&C guy' as there is and the furthest thing from egotistical as you will find.
An emotional evening as I complete my last full time day with The Mayo News after 5 brilliant years working with some brilliant people.
Here’s hoping the next chapter is just as exciting.
BREAKING: ALAN DILLON TD (FINE GAEL) CONFRONTED IN CASTLEBAR
Judge Máire Whelan denied Enoch Burke his constitutional rights. He is in Mountjoy Prison this Christmas Eve.
Máire Whelan was pushed into the Court of Appeal by Leo Varadkar. Her appointment was a scandal.

Call it cringe, a waste of time, money or whatever you want, but I think having the POTUS in Mayo and seeing the international coverage is an incredible honour for Mayo
Amazing week as we added a new branch (and footballer) to our family tree - baby Ríoch.
His amazing mother is doing brilliant too.
A huge thanks to the incredible staff in the Maternity Ward of Mayo University Hospital. Real-life heroes.
A South Dublin politician comparing the lives saved from the smoking ban to the potential lives saved by the banning of turf. There is being out of touch and there is this.
I'm old enough to remember push back on the smoking ban, many said it will kill off their business. It didn't. What it did was it saved lives. Similarly, banning turf will save lives. Over 1300 people die from air pollution each year. As with banning smokey coal banning turf 1/2
This is so bizarre. The narrative being created that the GAA are 'missing out' is completely unsubstantiated. Who is pushing this agenda behind the scenes?
@SmallerFishGAA
Yes, it was designed all for you, and just you alone. Nothing at all to do with defending the name of a man you're taking the piss out of.
This is a truly superb tribute from

reflecting on the death of his granddad, Ger, from Covid-19.
It's written with no anger but is a reminder, if we need it, of the realities of Covid-19.
Fair play to Paul Flynn. We should be loving seeing the media shield drop and hearing how he really feels.
He’s a Dub. A former teammate of McCarty. Of course he’s going to be bias.
It’s also one opinion and people need to chill out 🤣🤣
Clifford was smoked against Dublin and poor against Tyrone yet still ppl think he is footballer of the year. Not for me - James Mc led Dublin to glory without having his best day yest! He’s a born winner and leader.
Complete rubbish.
Maybe I'm talking to the wrong people, but I haven't heard one complaint about the inter-county season finishing. The opposite, in fact.
There is a much bigger and wider agenda at play for this opinion.
Stephen Rochford resigning after a lack of support from the Executive. Whatever your opinion on him, disappointing end for a man who brought Mayo so close to an All-Ireland, twice.
I’ve held court for a long time on this, but it’s impossible not to be completely sick of the washing machine of fear that the National media in this county is constantly driving. It’s gone beyond ‘reporting the facts’

Not gone on the Two Johnnies at all, but this pile on, woke, cancel, whatever-you-want-to-call-it culture is getting ridiculous. Politicians and national journos/social media celebs love the traction they can get off it
I’m far from the sensitive type but after the conversations we’ve had this year about full and equal respect for women it’s hard to see how they thought this was funny. ‘She’s not a princess, she’s a sl*t’, being just one of the “funny” slogans.
Here’s tomorrow’s cover featuring scenes from the Mayo GAA Senior and Intermediate FC semi-finals. Inside: read all about the big games, plus we preview the County Hurling and Ladies Senior Football Finals. And report on Westport Utd’s Connacht Cup defeat.

Being in Tuam Stadium on Sunday and talking to so many people about the game afterwards really drilled home how much of a mental and physical boost it gives people. It will be crucial over the next 6 weeks.
Albeit more rigorous testing needed

What a game. Monumental win for Mayo - whatever your opinion on the League. Delighted for Rob Hennelly, outstanding save at the end. Diarmuid incredible too

Sad news this morning that John O’Mahony has passed away.
John was a proud Ballaghaderreen and Mayo man who did so much to restore faith and pride in football in the West of Ireland.
He had some great days with Mayo, Galway and Leitrim.
May he rest in peace.

for getting me to the graduation day of our MSc in Digital Media and Marketing yesterday.
Got a visit in The Mayo News from Padraic Maher today to tell news of his recent win in the Special Olympics national games for bowling; wanted his picture taken and asked could it go in the paper. He’s eyeing up Tokyo 2020.
Sport is brilliant .
Lee Keegan has announced his retirement from Inter County football.
All at Mayo GAA wish Lee the best of luck in his retirement.

At the NY Metz v Yankees last Tuesday night, of course we wore the Mayo jerseys. Going through security I get spotted by a young African-American security guard who shouts ‘Up Mayo’ and brings me to the front of the line. He didn’t think we’ll go far this year though

Hard blame his frustration, really. And given how poorly the Minister has performed in the last year, coupled with her lack of transparency, I think his actions are fine
Some personal news (one of those posts)
Said goodbye to all my friends and colleagues at Intersport Elverys last week after nearly 4 years.

Values should be more important than selling out to a clown like him.
The GAA still has some of those compared to other organisations who have endorsed him
Definitely a first for the GAA here in Castlebar at the Cumann ma mBunscol finals. Balla and Knockrooskey decide to share the trophy are two periods of extra time. It finishes 7-14 to 8-11. Crazy scenes

I never thought I’d see the day! Rumours are there’s some serious ticket flouting going on in the village this week. Saw one on Donedeal earlier, seller looking to swap for heifer
It’s hard to believe that Castlebar Mitchels had no All Star before last night! However their first couldn’t be any more warranted than in the form of Paddy Durcan - an absolute class act.
All-Star! ⭐️ Congrats to Paddy Durcan, who has won his 1st All-Star Award. A fitting reward for his exploits in the Green & Red in 2019.
This also represents the 1st All-Star to come from the club. A proud day for Paddy, his family, friends and everyone at Castlebar Mitchels ✨
It’s been a long day in the Gaelic Grounds but that’s a sweet win. I thought Cillian was outstanding and that was some goal by Carr.
Another plus, Horan said he was confident DOC will play a part in the Super 8s

Delighted to be nominated for Sports Writer of the Year at the Smedias. Expecting a tough challenge... Taking this one step at a time... just concentrating on getting myself right etc
This is beyond shocking. My heart goes out to the Murphy family - they are real salt of the earth, kind, caring, decent people who do not deserve this. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
Next time you're thinking of criticizing the media as a whole, consider the unbelievable coverage that has been provided in the last 48 hours around

Dublin's Covid Breach: Dubs training session puts re-start of season in doubt - session at Innisfails will embarrass GAA, occurring just hours after Association’s warning
That is some win for the Mayo U-20s and Maurice Sheridan tonight.
No one gave them a chance against this Galway side. Penalties is cruel to lose on, but it’s balanced itself out

Kerry reveal their subs. What an incredible advantage Roscommon now have on them. That will make all the difference on the field of play. Worth 5 points minimum.
