More GAA+ aggro and the most exciting football weekend of the year

Declan Bogue and Fintan O’Toole join Ronan Early to look ahead to a truly exciting round of knockout football. But first they talk about the promotional own-goal of putting the Kerry-Armagh clash on their streaming service instead of free-to-air TV. Why are the GAA hiding their jewels while interest in the World Cup booms? Or is there a counterargument, and does GAA+ really need the biggest games to be a viable service? On the field of play, we look ahead to the blockbuster ties of Dublin-Donegal as well as Kerry-Armagh and call Mayo-Meath and Monaghan-Westmeath. And for all the hurling snobs about there, fast-forward to 58.47 for some chat about Clare-Dublin and Cork-Offaly. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Cork-Limerick fallout | Can Galway topple the big two? | Football previews

Fintan O’Toole and Declan Bogue join Ronan Early to debate the Munster final. Is the discussion over the final whistle contrived controversy. Did the stop-start game need a dramatic talking point at the end to elevate the spectacle? Why were Limerick so excited to win? What makes for a great hurling dynasty? To rack up All-Irelands do you need to be strong when others are weak? And with Cork now at Limerick’s level will their GOAT credentials be put to the ultimate stress test? Declan, meanwhile, assesses Galway’s chances of beating both. Also, we run through the knockout football games for the weekend ahead and, as ever, call it. There is even a World Cup prediction at the end if you want to ruin your accumulators. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Declan Bogue joins Fintan O'Toole to look at a week when GAA bosses have dominated the agenda.

Is the GAA’s disciplinary system fit for purpose? | Why Davy did not work out at Antrim

Declan Bogue joins Ronan Early to discuss the fallout from the Kerry-Donegal clash. Jim McGuinness and David Clifford have avoided bans for their part in the fracas at Fitzgerald stadium, just months after Ger Brennan, the Dublin manager, received a 12-week ban for an offence not dissimilar to McGuinness’. Is the GAA disciplinary system - with its myriad committees and ruling bodies who administer justice in private and do not comment publicly - fit for purpose nowadays? What needs to happen for greater consistency and transparency? Also on today’s pod, Declan details why the marriage of Davy Fitzgerald and Antrim hurling failed to produce the kind of results both parties would have liked. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
