• Ep 3321: Galway Deliver, GAA Gets Spite, Shoulders, Strikes And Shorts - 11/08/25

  After a month of All-Ireland finals, we finally got a close one - and in the end, we got a surprise winner, too. Cork were going for three-in-a-row, had beaten Galway by 11 points in the League final earlier this year, but had no answer to Galway's fast start, relentless physicality and last-minute heroics. Dublin camogie captain Aisling Maher has had an eventful year, which started by leading the skorts strike, and she's on the line today with Sinead O'Carroll of The Journal to review yesterday's final, the new refereeing approach which has revolutionised camogie, and why we're still talking about integration. We also discuss the worst Hawkeye referral in Croke Park's history, red cards, and why GAA players continue to be world leaders in spite. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

• Ep 3320: Balancing Grealish and Pep, Summer Soccer Scuppered - 11/08/25

  Jack Grealish has gone to Everton on loan. We hope he finds meaning there. We try to understand why it never worked for him, with reference to some of the things Guardiola said in a surprisingly candid recent interview with GQ. Dion Fanning joins us to talk about the Community Shield, which saw the team with no new signings look more organised and dangerous than the team with €300 million worth. We also discuss the recent news that the FAI’s dream of a fully-aligned football calendar has effectively been abandoned, after the FAI confirmed that leagues who want to play winter football can apply for exemptions.What does the failure of the unified plan mean? And what are the likely implications for the FAI? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

• Ep 3315: Lions Win Series But Search For Soul, Lightning Illuminates, Woakes Heroics In Vain - 04/08/25

  The Lions return triumphant from the 2025 tour of Australia with a 2-1 series victory... but was that the bare minimum? Shane Horgan and Gareth Rhys Owen of the BBC's Scrum V are on the show this Bank Holiday Monday to review why the Lions ran out of steam on Saturday's third test. We discuss whether Andy Farrell returns to Ireland with his reputation enhanced, which Irish players have grown or wilted during this tour, and how good or bad this Australian team really are. We also discuss how to spend a 30-minute storm delay, and the insane final moments of the fifth day of the fifth test between England and India which included some heroics from Woakes and an incredibly tight finish.
