Ahead of this weekend Gaelic football and hurling action, Cathal Mullaney is joined by Dessie Dolan, Damian Lawlor and Liam Sheedy. Cathal, Dessie and Damian look ahead to an Allianz Football League weekend where arguably the Division 2 action outstrips the top tier, with Cork and Meath of particular interest. Dessie reckons Cork need to put together a consistent 70 minutes to compete with a Meath team who have been turning heads. Elsewhere, the lads assess Darragh Canavan's loss to Tyrone, Armagh's keeper conundrum and Kerry's motives as they head to Croker to take on the Dubs. Also, with kick-out 'piggery' supposedly ruling the game, Dessie says a player of Paul Galvin's quality would be worth an astronomical value. Liam Sheedy joins Cathal in studio (36:45) to preview the weekend's hurling. The All-Ireland winning Tipp manager backs Kyle Hayes to fill the centre-back position for Limerick in the long term as the game comes to terms with the value of a sitting 6 versus a deep 11. Waterford will give a good test to their neighbours Kilkenny, who are looking to fill a few positions. After some good performances with no reward, Galway are in need of a result against Offaly. In Division 1B, Lee Chin's return is just in time for the trip to Croke Park, with Wexford dealing with a dearth of leaders, while Clare seem to be getting the old gang back together for one more heist.

Kickout piggery, maverick Meath and Antrim’s agony

Cathal Mullaney is joined in studio by Niall McCoy and online by Enda McGinley to break down the third round of the Allianz Football League, a weekend that brought a somewhat unexpected Armagh defeat, a halt to Mayo’s momentum, and a notably aggressive performance from Tyrone. Enda (1:30) reflects on how managers are struggling to exert control from the sidelines amid the heightened chaos created by last year’s rule changes. While the shift has been challenging for those in charge, he notes that it has made the game more enjoyable to play. The panel also digs into Kieran McGeeney’s “piggery” remarks surrounding kickout battles. Former manager Enda explains that while possession is still central to modern football, the days of relying on intricate set plays are fading as teams become less consistent at securing their own restarts. The conversation turns to Roscommon’s growing promise, the group debates whether Mayo’s re-found chaos isn't going to work against teams that maintain possession for long spells. Niall floats the idea that Donegal legend Michael Murphy could evolve into a devastating “super sub” for Jim McGuinness in this year’s Championship, with Enda imagining the lift Murphy could provide if introduced during a difficult spell. The panel then shifts to Tyrone (37:00), with Enda praising the side’s rediscovered aggression, energy, and attacking pace. However, he believes a few more players need to elevate themselves into top-tier roles for the team to fully reach its potential. Finally, the spotlight moves to Division 4, where, with two Ulster men on the pod, the discussion naturally lands on Antrim. Enda shares his view that there is little reward for competing in the division at present and suggests the League may be a tough sell in a dual-code county (38:30).

Mayo bandwagon rolls again | Meath's hunger more apparent than Louth's

Cathal Mullaney previews the weekend's Allianz Football League action in the company of Dessie Dolan and Conor Neville. But before we get to that Dessie relives some of his favourite Sigerson memories (1:00), including togging out with a (very) young Michael Meehan in NUIG. Kerry v Galway is arguably the pick of the games (3:30), with Galway impressing Conor despite their permanent injury crisis. Arguably Kerry don't carry their usual fear factor at this time of the year, even in Tralee. Strange to think it but Dublin and Monaghan has the feel of a relegation four-pointer (12:30). Monaghan depleted through injuries, retirements and Sigerson. Dublin's possible malaise is different and Dessie believes Ger Brennan is borrowing a move out of Pat Gilroy playbook by threatening to ditch senior players. Anyway, Dessie says Brian Howard would be welcome in Westmeath. Roscommon are travelling under many's radar ahead of Armagh game (17:30), but surprising a few people, especially with no Brigid's players. Diarmuid Murtagh impresses Dessie with his efficiency. However Armagh's running power will test them this week. The hype is with us early this year as Donegal-Mayo (24:40) sees a huge crowd expected in Ballybofey. Ryan O'Donoghue is tenacious and making huge contribution from centre-forward, reckons Dessie. Meath looking buoyant (29:30) ahead of clash with Louth, with their return to centre stage last year reminding Conor of a soap opera villain. Louth dip to be expected after last summer's heroics, says Dessie, who knows a thing or two about ending a long wait for provincial glory. Tyrone's early season form a bit of a mystery reckons Dessie (34:00) ahead of clash with Cavan, with Division 2 safety and Sam Maguire status already on the table.

O’Connor’s interview impresses, Dowling for Kilkenny? And Gillane’s goal of the year contender

GAA commentator and journalist Cathal Mullaney is joined on the sofa by Rory O’Neill with Shane McGrath dialling in to review the weekend's hurling action. Shane gives Darragh Fitzgibbon the nod for hurler of the year at this early stage (04:20) for his impressive performance against Tipperary on Saturday recounting the one time he was unfortunate enough to mark him once retired from inter-county duty. There is some discussion of the impact of the red cards that were given at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, particularly for Shane Barrett (07:50) with Shane saying that a match ban may mean no competitive hurling for five weeks, which should be a concern. The ex-inter-county player also states that he would be in favour of referee's having the ability to watch replays before making sending off decisions and would be in favour of more technology for referees (14:30). Attention then turned to Aaron Gillane's wonder goal for Limerick. Which the panel feel could be a goal of the year contender (29:50). Shane also praises Gillane's game awareness. The discussion of Division 1B was dominated by Kildare with Shane boldly stating he felt Brian Dowling is building a CV that may be worthy of the post of Kilkenny manager at some stage in the future (38:00).

Breach business, impatient Dubs and how long can Limerick old guard keep delivering?

GAA commentator and journalist Cathal Mullaney is joined on the sofa by Rory O’Neill with Ciarán Whelan and Neil McManus to discuss the weekend’s football and hurling action. 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.

Fiery football managers and Limerick in need of new-look lineup

In this episode of the RTÉ GAA Podcast, Cathal Mullaney and Rory O'Neill are joined by Dessie Dolan to chat all things football, while Michael Duignan weighs in on the hurling action. With Round Two of the Allianz Football and Hurling Leagues on the horizon, and storms brewing around the island this week, it’s shaping up to be a weekend full of twists across both codes... If the pitches cut the mustard. FOOTBALL (01:00) Unsurprisingly, Tomás Kennedy is once again a key talking point as Kerry travel to Ballyshannon for what promises to be an intriguing clash. Dessie reflects on last weekend’s comments from both managers, noting the fiery responses in post-match questioning. Mayo host Dublin, and Dessie believes this will test both defences, arguing that “the art of defending” needs to be relearned by the current crop of players. He also raises concerns about Galway’s midfield depth, with an increasing list of absentees leaving gaps hard to fill. In Division Two, Dessie feels Tyrone look capable of pushing for promotion, while Meath appear to be slipping back into old habits, particularly around midfield physicality, which could spell trouble for his own county, Westmeath. HURLING (38:00) Michael opens with his home county Offaly, discussing the physical challenges facing younger players as they transition to senior level, especially those recently introduced to the panel. He’s hopeful for a refreshed Limerick this season, suggesting that a shake‑up to their starting XV might inject new energy. Michael also gives his view on the proposed changes to the preliminary quarter‑finals, arguing that after a condensed season, they often feel like a damp squib. The team also dive into the “Davy derby” ahead of Clare v Antrim, and consider what impact a trip to Cushendall might have on proceedings.
