FOOTBALL (0:01)


(0:30) Ciarán Whelan gives his thoughts on Dublin’s loss to Mayo
adding that he feels older players need to step up, he also
comments that the Dubs do seem to be the most inexperienced team
so far and highlights the midfield as a possible issue for Ger
Brennan that may need to be resolved before Championship season.


(10:30) Ciarán comments that he felt Kerry sat deep against
Donegal and it was Seán O’Shea that dragged Kerry back into it.
He also noticed that Donegal’s panel are operating with more of
their big hitters than Kerry.


(15:40) Kieran McGeeney’s comments about the lack of
communication between referees and management following the
three-man breach decision in the first half were discussed by the
group with Ciarán stating he felt the call was incorrectly made
and urges for a common sense approach going forward.


(27:00) Finally Ciarán makes a big prediction that the Leinster
Championship will be full revived in 2026 off the back of strong
performances from Meath, Kildare and


HURLING (28:20)


(31:20) Neil McManus joins for part two and the panel kick off by
talking about Waterford’s bounce-back performance against
Limerick. 


Neil reflects on Waterford’s intensity and highlights several
concerns for Limerick. 


A question from a listener is answered, on if Wexford is now a
Joe McDonagh standard team having been run so close by both Down
and Antrim.


(52:00) Neil also adds that for smaller panels losing players to
injury and illness can be a challenge at this time of year.
