The passing of the legendary ‘Johnno’ has cast a long shadow across Mayo, the West of Ireland and the GAA world this week.
Mike is joined by Edwin McGreal, Martin Carney, Andy Moran and Stephen Drake to talk about John’s life and his legacy, and why he will always be remembered as both one of the great Gaelic football managers and a gentleman.

John, Mike and Rob meet up for a quick chat about a big week for the Mayo senior team.
The lads look back at last Sunday’s draw with Dublin and look ahead to next Saturday’s All-Ireland prelim quarter-final against Derry in Castlebar.

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.

In the wake of Mayo’s win over Roscommon, the focus has shifted to a date with the All-Ireland champions.

The venue has been decided, the tickets are on sale, and the conversations about injuries, match-ups and the spread have already started.

So John, Mike and Rob gathered for a chat about the mood on the ground, the likely talking points, and to tell non-members what they have been missing over on Patreon for just €5 a month.

In this new Recently on the Podcast show, we look back at audio our Patreon club members will already have heard from the latest Connacht Championship game involving the Minors. We also review some of our podcast coverage that was recorded leading up to and after Sunday's Connacht SFC final against Galway at Pearse Stadium.

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.

Every so often, we provide a taster of the podcast content we make available on an ongoing basis to our club members on Patreon. In this latest Recently on the Podcast show, Rob and John review audio from Mayo/Roscommon Minor Final Whistle pod, where Martin Carney points to prominent performers in that game; from the Mayo/Sligo U20 Final Whistle show, where Mike reflects on Mayo's Championship elimination and where Mayo manager Peadar Gardiner and Sligo manager Paul Henry provide post-match reaction and from our Mayo/Roscommon Senior Final Whistle show where Colm Boyle and Lee Keegan chat with Rob and John following Mayo's five-point win at Dr Hyde Park.

Mayo have beaten New York by a scoreline of 2-21 to 2-6 in the Connacht championship quarter-final at Gaelic Park in the Bronx.

Rob, Mike and John were joined at Gaelic Park by Colm Boyle, John Casey and Seán Reilly. There’s also post-match reaction from Mayo manager Kevin McStay, New York manager Alan O’Mara and Mayo captain Paddy Durcan.

The Mayo Football Podcast is going to New York next month so it’s time to start the build-up!

Colm Boyle joins Rob, Mike and John to chat about the trip to the Big Apple and a live event that will be taking place in NYC on Friday, April 5.

The lads also chat the weird and wonderful differences of Mayo playing a championship match in Gaelic Park, and Boyler tells a few stories from his own Mayo days.

Plus, they take a look ahead to Sunday’s National League match against Derry and ask whether Mayo will be going all out (or not) to win the game.

All this and much more!

Mayo claimed a dramatic draw in this afternoon's LGFA NFL Division One Round 4 clash with Kerry at Fitzgerald Stadium. Twice they battled back from three points in arrears in a low-scoring contest, with late points from Sinéad Walsh and Maria Cannon giving the Westerners a deserved share of the spoils.

After the game Rob chatted with Cormac Reape, former Knockmore LGFA manager and current manager of the Sligo ladies team. He also got post-game reaction from Mayo manager Liam McHale and from long-serving player Fiona McHale.
