    AUSTIN GLEESON TEASER: 'At the end of the day, I only have myself to blame' | Retiring from intercounty hurling with Waterford

    Austin Gleeson joined Eoin Sheahan for a chat on Waterford hurling, his decision to step away from inter-county, and why this time it’s “fully done”. Gleeson opens up on the moment he knew his body wasn’t keeping pace with his head, the injuries that piled up, and the regrets he has about not taking recovery and conditioning seriously enough in his 20s. He also reflects on the spotlight that came with 2016, dealing with comments about his weight, and the reality of being an amateur player who still has to get up and go to work on Monday.

    Trevor Giles’ You Had To Be There! | OFF THE BALL BREAKFAST

    Trevor Giles joins Colm Boohig in Croke Park for a brilliant You Had To Be There run-through of five sporting moments that shaped him — from his first memories in the stands to the biggest days in Meath colours. He relives a St Pat’s Navan All-Ireland colleges semi-final that went to extra time, a classic Sigerson Cup epic with UCD against a Seamus Moynihan-led UCC, and that unforgettable 1997 Leinster semi-final replay vs Kildare — penalty missed, then a palmed-in goal and THAT iconic, rare celebration! There’s also a look at the latest trial rules, the state of Gaelic football right now, and Giles’ instinct on who lifts Sam next year. With Amazon.ie, Irish brands at local prices.

    Sounds of the Summer: The Kerry perspective, and where did it all go wrong? | Darran O'Sullivan

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next. In this episode, former All-Ireland winner Darran O’Sullivan joins Eoin Sheahan in the aftermath of Kerry’s All-Ireland final defeat to Mayo, to dig into why the Kingdom looked flat when it mattered most. From the impact of the condensed calendar and the lack of training time, to injuries, selection calls, and how Mayo’s bravery and tactical plan exposed Kerry’s slower, choreographed approach, O’Sullivan gives a frank view from inside Kerry — and pushes back on the idea that club football is the real problem.

    Sounds of the Summer: Polishing the 'new' rules and what comes next? | Kevin McStay

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next for Gaelic football. In this episode, Eoin Sheahan is joined by former Roscommon and Mayo manager Kevin McStay, now heading up the Gaelic football expert advisory group tasked with monitoring the impact of the Football Review Committee’s work. McStay explains how the group is using match footage and data to “polish” the new rules, from the hooter/clock rollout and anomalies around scoring, to a possible four-point goal, a backcourt rule to curb lateral play, and what referee assistance could realistically look like without turning football into VAR.
