Check out http://mayogaablog.com/ for a Mayoman's take (words and video clips) on yesterday's match at McHale Park.  If you want another Mayoman's view on proceedings, have a look at what my fellow Mayo GAA blogger has to say at: http://nooneshoutedstop.wordpress.com/.

See http://mayogaablog.com/ for a match report from an unashamed Mayo perspective!

See http://mayogaablog.com/ for a one-sided match report (with accompanying amateur video clips) from the match in McHale Park.  We wuz robbed!

More thoughts on our championship exit at http://www.mayogaablog.blogspot.com/.  Good luck to Derry in the next round - you should be well capable of taking care of Laois and can reasonably expect to make it to the semis.  Anything can happen from there!

Some of you emigrant Gaels (I used to be one myself but we didn't have the Internet back then) might be interested in this one-eyed Mayo view of yesterday's match at Celtic Park.  I've also linked in some video clips of our scores. See http://www.mayogaablog.blogspot.com/ for details.  Good luck in the Oak Leaf lads in the next round - give Galway one for us if you draw them!

Well done Derry - you beat us out the gate today. Here's a Mayo view on the day's events: http://www.mayogaablog.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the comments on the blog, Redhandluke.  Part and parcel of being a Mayo supporter is to max out on optimism in advance, with crushing reality dawning after the event! I did think we had a good chance in advance of winning both games and while Laois pulled away easy enough from us in the U21s (after a portly ref from your part of the world had done his worst!) we had more than enough ball to win yesterday's final.  The deja vu reference was both to failure (once again) in a final and losing to Donegal by three points (again).

Well done to Donegal yesterday, congrats on a well-earned NFL title.  For a Mayo-centric perspective on yesterday's events at Croker see: http://mayogaablog.blogspot.com/.

Thanks, Abbeysider, I hope you continue to enjoy reading it.  I'm no Spailpin: his take on the county's progress - which I enjoy hugely - is a far more erudite one than mine.  I'm aiming more at the kind of blogs you often see that are dedicated to English premiership sides - like a poor imitation of, for example, Arseblog but without most of the profanities!
