Two men who really didn't like each other sit down in a room. This is some podcast. Conor Gormley won three All-Ireland's with Tyrone and when the Armagh rivalry was at it's height- he was the enforcer. He marked the dangermen and said the 2005 All-Ireland semi-final was the most intense game of his life. Gormley, quiet by nature explains being overlooked by Mickey Harte as a minor, exploding onto the scene because he marked Peter Canavan at club level and feeling almost bitter about saying goodbye to Tyrone. He struggled to watch them for years. Oisin named Gormley, Ryan McMenamin and Brian Dooher in his autobiography for 'verbals' we explore that touchy subject. Conor also explains the moment when his father took a heart attack during a club game. Conor jumped the wire and attached the defib. We talk ‘that block’ against Steven McDonnell in 2003. It was the moment, which secured a first Sam Maguire for Tyrone. On the week Tyrone play Armagh in an Ulster semi-final, we look ahead to that game from an iconic footballer. One, until now, we knew very little about. 15,000 eggs a day, a hurler, refusing drink, and the question he asks his kids after every game. It's Conor Gormley like you've never heard him before

The Munster Hurling championship has saved the world from doom! Packed into a big football weekend, Cork/ Clare and Limerick/Tipp shook us all. Magnificent stuff.
The football was good too. Donegal will play Down in the Ulster semi-final. Cork really could have/ should have beaten Kerry, Oisin wants to bin the hooter- Monaghan might agree!
Questions remain over Mayo but Galway look in a really good place. A painful weekend for Fermanagh.

When you sit down to record a podcast, you never quite know how it’s going to turn out. This was one of those. Ross Carr is one of those interesting people you come across in life and this is an intimate reflection on living and growing older. Ross Carr is just north of 60, young- but fully aware of the fragility of life. There’s been losses, Eamonn burns being one, and the former All-star has responded with a more rounded outlook on what life should be. The Mournes and the splendid Clonduff certainly helps with that direction. Two All-Ireland titles in 1991 and 1994 were magic days in Down. There’s been little since. Why? Kevin Mussen was the first to bring Sam Maguire across the border in the 1960’s- his county and club friend followed in his footsteps 30 years later. Being a good parent, questioning was he good enough, when to stop playing and when to finish coaching. Above everything, Ross Carr’s love of place and the GAA shines through. A great listen this week

Mind games and addressing the elephant in the room. Seanie Johnston has an interesting take on the flat Cavan performance in Omagh. Tyrone take on Armagh next (what a game) and Meath come from 10 down to beat Offaly. Wins for Dublin, Louth, Armagh and Kildare. Westmeath, Antrim and Wicklow lose- but there's lots of positives.

What a laugh and what a man. He wore the orange of Armagh for almost two decades. He captained the team, All-star award, but watched as all those teams around him picked up Sam Maguire, while Armagh missed out. He did collect back-to-back Ulster titles towards the end, but it wasn’t quite the same. Craic, depth, fun and emotion. This is Ger Houlahan at his best. One of the original TV pundits, icon, celebration king and continues to give back.

He’s one of the finest footballers in the modern game. An All-star award in November 2023, proof of the quality possessed by Gareth McKinless. Since then, it hasn’t quite worked out for Derry. Why? Paddy Tally’s team go into this weekend’s opening championship game against Donegal, with hope, good footballers, but just one win in a year. A change in management has taken place again and three All-star defenders won’t be in Ballybofey. Conor McCluskey is out, Chrissy McKaigue has retired and McKinless has suffered a dreaded ACL. His season is over. Since Rory Gallagher “stood back” as Derry manager, there’s been a decline in performance. Picking up the pieces after Rory, hoping to get back playing for Derry and All-Ireland club final against Crossmolina-in dreadful circumstances. He incredibly played that game with a torn ACL. This is a very honest podcast. McKinless was sent-off against Damien Comer, the social media reaction was hard and brutal. McKinless immediately reached out to Comer and there was some advice from the majestic Galway footballer. Keeping the head, maturing and driving on. A reflective and honest account from one of the best half-backs in the game. Gareth McKinless on the GAA Social

The championship begins this weekend, but we had an enjoyable end to the 2025 League. But what does it all mean?

1977 Jimmy Smyth led Armagh to the All-Ireland final. An All-star and two Ulster titles were collected, but no Celtic cross. For Club it was an outstanding level of success. Nine county titles, three provincial championships and a lifetime involved in GAA- but he almost played for Down! Sliding doors moment. Chairperson of the Ulster schools, still giving back. A great talker, a great man, this is the brilliant Jimmy Smyth

In an incredible few minutes, Mayo go from relegation to finishing top of the league. It's the final day of the Allianz leagues- we're ready no for Championship

A hugely strong podcast and a fabulous lens into the world of the referee. David Coldrick has been the 'man in the middle' during four All-Ireland finals. He'd like another. Broadly speaking, Coldrick is a supporter of the new rules and the work carried out by the FRC. Although, the Meath whistler, fair and balanced, says it was a mistake not to include a referee on the initial panel. Former referee Maurice Deegan is now part of the FRC. There’s more. Coldrick looks back on the time he failed a fitness test, explains why that happened and the public scrutiny surrounding him at that time. He also mentions how referees will use their common sense to apply rules, and gives telling examples of how that's done- as recently as this year. David also believes it would be a good idea for referees to be mic'd up. He suggests as many as 3/4 of the approx 40 inter-county referees would be ready or close to ready, if that happened. Refereeing the 3v3, the best rule introduced and the one he’s not so sure about. A brilliant listen from one of the most respected and talented referees the GAA has at its disposal.

Four All-stars. Tony Scullion has won everything. Full of devilment, joy and laughter this podcast looks at the life and times of Tony Scullion. What's next? who was the greatest he ever marked, a lifetime in coaching and being uncomfortable with being loved. The great Tony Scullion and a brilliant episode of the GAA Social with Thomas Niblock and Oisin McConville

A mixture of football, hurling, new goalkeeping rule changes and the latest on Antrim's championship game against All-Ireland winners Armagh

Kevin Penrose has come out as gay. Something quite normal, except it's not in Gaelic Games. in Ladies football and camogie, it's more common to be gay. In men’s football and hurling- it isn’t! Why is that? This is Kevin's story, how he battled with his sexuality, the fear of coming out and the reaction from his teammates and family. In truth, this podcast is perhaps more impactful on those of us who are not gay. Language, creating a safe space. Being better for others. It's a frank, honest and illuminating conversation between Thomas, Oisin and Kevin and an absolutely brilliant listen. Thank-you Kevin, for telling us your story. The wild outdoors and earning a living off social media is the new career path for Kevin- and there's more to come

Massive weekend in Gaelic games- but the rules dominate. Can they stay- even if we want them?

Mary Hulgraine has a remarkable story. On Sunday she will line out for Kildare against Armagh, but her life could have been very different. Addiction issues with alcohol and drugs threatened to bring her life to a premature end. That didn’t happen. Mary recovered and blossomed. This podcast evolves into faith- what exactly does it mean? Recovery, making the most of life and Mary’s beautiful dog ‘Bails’

Can Waterford or Tipperary win the All-Ireland? Jamsie finds it difficult to understand why nobody is talking about Waterford? Jamsie O'Connor who played football for Clare- before hurling? Mad the things you find out. Due to the tragic death of Brendan Stone, Wicklow U20 footballer and brother of senior full-back Malachy, Oisin didn't join us today. He'll be back on Wednesday. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Brendan, a brilliant young, talented and from one of the most decent loving families, you could ever wish to meet. A beautiful young man, taken from us all too soon.

We all knew it was coming, but since Conor McManus retired the question has bubbled- who is the greatest Monaghan footballer? "Well I'd say Conor is greatest Monaghan finisher" it sets the tone of this brilliant insight into the great Nudie Hughes. He's a mural on the gable of the house he was reared, one of 14. All of them still living. Ulster championships, All-stars (in defence and attack) and an icon in Monaghan. In 2018 he was diagnosed with cancer- this week he begins a new treatment after a setback. There's no negativity here though, none. The positive mindset is authentic and real. Moving forward and living his best life. This is the life and times of the great Nudie Hughes (perhaps one of the two greatest footballers to play in Blue and white)
