Tyrone next for new-look Mayo

Mayo v Kerry - The big preview

As the countdown continues Billy Joe Padden and Edwin McGreal join Rob Murphy to take a detailed look at what to expect from the game on Sunday week. The numbers behind Mayo’s forward play, the challenge of the aerial battle with Kerry’s midfield and the monumental task of curtailing their attack. There are loads of reasons for hope but there is no hiding from the talking about challenges either, as we preview of the 2026 all Ireland final.

Starting the semi-final countdown

It's going to be a fast week for Mayo supporters with all roads leading to Croke Park on Saturday evening for the All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Louth.  John, Mike and Rob meet up to start the week as MFT means to go on — by talking football and whetting the appetite for the days ahead.  The lads also catch up with Dan Bannon of the 'Louth & Proud' podcast to get a sense of the mood in the Wee County.

Chatting with Mayo GAA's CEO

The focus this week may be mainly on the senior footballers' exploits, but there is still plenty of work to be done behind the scenes by Ruairí Conroy, the newly-appointed CEO of Mayo GAA.  The Tourmakeady native chats to Mike about why he took on the role, what his first priorities are, and what he would define as a success as Mayo GAA's first CEO.  Ruairí also outlines the remit of his position, how he intends to approach the mammoth task of building a Mayo GAA Centre of Excellence, and why he believes that clubs and volunteers must be at the foundation of everything he intends to do.  Of course, over the coming days we’ll be building up to the big match across all our MFT platforms — with podcasts, columns and news articles.  We’ll be starting with a chat with Billy Joe Padden on Tuesday as we get ready for Mayo’s biggest game of the year – so far!

Mayo prepare for Royals’ visit

If Mayo want to stay in the championship and book their place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals, they will have to beat Meath in Castlebar on Saturday evening. Billy Joe Padden joins Mike and Rob to look back on what we learned from Sunday’s narrow defeat to Tyrone, reflect on the displays of some key players, and discuss some of the match stats to see what they tell us about where the game was won and lost. The lads also look ahead to the Royals’ visit next weekend and try to predict what might happen.
