There is often an obsession with who the next Mayo manager will be, something we are witnessing right now. We feel that is but one part of the jigsaw and that now is an ideal time to step back and look at the wider picture relating to Mayo GAA.

This involves thinking about things like structures, coaching, people, money and the bricks and mortar. In this podcast series we aim to dive into the issues that have the potential to shape the future of the game in Mayo and to ask the questions grassroots volunteers tell us do not often get the time of day.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll shine a light on those areas that seem to be working well and those on which honest reflection is needed. Most people working at the coalface of Mayo GAA do so with the best of intentions but any organisation which has had repeated issues cropping up needs introspection and to ask itself how can things be done better. What can we learn from the past to improve our decision-making on current issues?

At its heart, this podcast series is about a shared ambition in us all: success for Mayo football across the board off the back of a thriving, purposeful, cohesive GAA community.

Whether you’re spilling out footballs for a training session, lacing up the boots for your next game, painting the dressing rooms, chairing the meetings, driving the county’s roads with a car full of future Mayo hopefuls or trekking through the local pub on a Saturday night with a lotto book in hand and tickets to sell, this is a conversation for you!

Everyone who cares deeply about the Green and Red and the great game of Gaelic football in Mayo, everyone who cares about the long-term viability of communities that express themselves through the sport and yes, whisper it, everyone who shares the elusive dream of one day seeing Mayo lift Sam for the fourth time. This is a conversation for you!

Over the last few weeks, series co-producers Rob Murphy and Edwin McGreal have been speaking to dozens of people with a huge amount of collective knowledge, insight and experience about what they feel are the issues that most need addressing and where the potential for improvement lies.

We’ve broken these topics into four main categories - coaching, infrastructure, governance and culture. This will frame our conversations and we’ll be asking for feedback and ideas from our podcast listeners as we go along.

We begin today with a scene-set from our regular Mayo Football Podcast crew of Rob Murphy, Mike Finnerty, John Gunnigan and Edwin McGreal.

To get in touch with us and to become involved in this discussion, club members can contact us on the Mayo Football Podcast's Discord server or on Patreon at patreon.com/mayopodcast. We're also looking to stimulate discussion on the Mayo GAA Blog (mayogaablog.com) and anyone who wants to contact us directly about the issues raised in this podcast series can email us at themayofootballpodcast@gmail.com.

This is a discussion for everyone with an interest in the future direction of Gaelic football in the county. We really do need to talk about Mayo. 

A penalty from Conor Loftus six minutes into added time won the day and sparked scenes of bittersweet emotions and celebrations. 

Mike and John were there to witness history being made, and we also hear from Crossmolina manager Brian Benson, man of the match Níall Coggins and Fionan Duffy.

This show brings you behind the scenes and into the midst of a great night’s entertainment.

Rob and John caught up with some of the award winners over the course of the night, including James Maheady, Conor Loftus, Janette O'Malley and Sam Callinan. They also chatted to special guest, Oisin McConville.

You can also hear some audio from Aidan O'Shea, Sam Callinan, Niall Heffernan, Justin Healy, Alan Dillion, Tommy O'Malley and Liam Breheny.

Also on this pod, ahead of Friday's now sold-out Club Stars event Mike chats with Seán Regan of Ballina Stephenites and Tooreen. Seán will be presented at the Club Stars event with an Outstanding Achievement Award (sponsored by Connacht GAA), having won back-to-back county medals in football and hurling with Ballina and Tooreen respectively.     

John, Mike and Rob look ahead to the big night and we hear from the now former Kilmeena manager, John Reilly, who will be presented with a Special Achievement award on the night.
Mike sat down with John recently to talk about his time managing his home club, which coincided with winning Mayo Junior and Intermediate championships, as well as an All-Ireland Intermediate crown.
They also talked about what makes club players tick, why John loves coaching, and what he plans to do next.

It was a who’s who of Mayo football with everyone from Lee Keegan to Colm Boyle to Aidan O’Shea coming along to help us get the ball rolling. 

We were also delighted to have the likes of Ballina Stephenites manager Niall Heffernan and coach Cora Staunton in attendance; as well as Westport ladies manager Pop Geraghty and players Janette O’Malley, Aoife Kennedy and Noirin Moran there. 

We also chatted to Ciara Galvin from EirGrid, the main sponsors of this year’s Club Stars, and James Carty from Down Syndrome Mayo, our charity partners. 

John, Mike and Rob were out and about in Foxford, Breaffy and Ballina to see some of the title contenders in action while we also round up the stories of the other games of the day. 

Rob and Mike were out and about again and they round up the day’s events and also look at how the Junior championship is shaping up. 

Mike and Rob were around some of the grounds and met up after the games to give podcast listeners this round-up of the day’s events.

Plus, they shoot the breeze about some of the talking points that have cropped up in recent days and tell you why so many people are subscribing to the podcast every week. 

From the Final Whistle show recorded after the Minors' win over Leitrim, we hear Colm Boyle describe the co-ordinated way in which the team defended. Next it's Colin Sheridan and Finian Hanley, with the former chatting about the occasion that is the Connacht final, while the latter talks about Galway's favourite Mayo man, John O'Mahony. From our Here Comes the Weekend show Stephen Drake opines on his favourite spud. 

The focus then turns to the fallout from Mayo's one-point defeat to Galway and the voices we hear providing analysis on the game and what it mmeans for both teams include Colm Boyle, Barry Cullinane, Colm Keys and Billy Joe Padden.

In this podcast episode, Rob and John sit down with two members of that All-Ireland winning Mayo team, captain Eddie Gibbons from The Neale and John Finn of Mayo Gaels, to reminisce on the 1983 campaign. They chat about memorable incidents in the matches the lads played in on the way to that historic replayed decider in Irvinestown and they discuss how the very competitive schools football scene at that time was instrumental in ensuring that Mayo were in a position to push for All-Ireland honours at U21 level. They also consider the legacy of the 1983 U21 All-Ireland success and how it laid the foundations for Mayo's return to prominence at Senior level later that decade and in the years since then.

Rob's hour-long interview with Kevin McStay was, though, our main podcast highlight this week. The lads review what the Mayo manager had to say on that pod about what kind of year it had been for his team, what the thinking was behind the Conor Loftus experiment and how the defensive structure that was deployed fared out this year and how the aim for greater consistency will be addressed as the team faces into 2024.

Rob Murphy hosts the show and he's joined by podcast regular Edwin McGreal and by Anthony Jordan of Moy Davitts. The lads set the scene for the weekend before focusing in depth on both title deciders. Having come up against both Ballyhaunis and Kilmeena in this year's Intermediate Championship with Moy Davitts, Anthony has some interesting insights into both finalists. The discussion considers the merits of the two contenders for the title and there's a split verdict when it comes to predicting the winners.

The chat then turns to the Junior final between Cill Chomáin and Islandeady. The lads agree that these two clubs are worthy finalists and they note that, like last year's JFC champions Kilmeena, both could well prosper playing at a higher level. Only one of them will get the chance to do so, however, and the lads provide their predictions on which of them they think this will be.

The pod features a lengthy chat with Mayo GAA Games Manager Billy McNicholas about the secret of the Cúl Camp’s success and what is being done to ensure Mayo continue to produce good young players.

Billy also reminisces about coaching future Mayo stars like Conor Mortimer, Cillian O’Connor and Pearce Hanley back in the day.

Mike also talks to the newest member of the Mayo GAA coaching team, Denise Fahy, and one of the Cúl Camp coaches, Liam Óg Horkan from Garrymore.

Firstly, Colm tackles the talking point of whether or not Mayo’s managerial appointment process is working well so far or if it has developed into ‘a bit of a circus’ as one newspaper columnist described it last weekend. Billy Joe chats about the news that a former Mayo player is set to be on the interview panel, and looks at the reasons why this sounds like a good idea.

Colm also discusses the way some backroom teams have come into the public domain, and explains why he thought one candidate giving an interview to this podcast was a good idea! Both lads consider why communication will be key for the man who gets the job in the end.
