    Scary Kerry | Lee the meme goes global | Jacks are back

    Cathal Mullaney is joined by Lee Keegan and Brian Fenton to look back on the Round 3 action last week, digest the draw and look forward to this weekend's quarter-final action. The lads also touch on Lee's new-found fame as a Spanish World Cup meme and Brian catches us up on his travels - watching Dublin on his phone in a Malaga Airport queue that included Ciaran Whelan. That's a lot of Dublin midfielder for one airplane. TIMESTAMPS 0:30 - Lee Keegan going global with new World Cup Twitter fame 3:10 - Everyone happy with their lot from that quarter-final draw 3:55 - Scary Kerry. Armagh brilliant for 35 mins, goal at half-time killed them. How do you mark David Clifford? Complemented by silky Dylan Geaney. 12:30 - Niall Morgan is the perfect test for Kerry. Tyrone will be fresh but this is a whole new challenge. Do they have the defence? 17:20- Galway next best after Kerry says Lee, based on squad depth. Can control a game and posess excellent kickers of the ball. 19:40 - Brian buzzing about Dublin. Very organised with Ger Brennan on the line. 24:35 - Both Lee and Brian pay tribute to Ciaran Kilkenny. 27:38 - Donegal burned out. Ran out of energy and momentum. Peaked too soon. did an obsession with Kerry cost them? 31:00 - Ross McGarry penalised for dropping the ball. ‘I think it’s ridiculous,’ says Brian. Black cards hurt Donegal more than Dublin, says Lee. 33:20- Mayo awful at half-time against Meath and red card a huge factor. Cork and Mayo both delighted with the draw. Hard game to predict, both teams have delivered very different performances. 39:35- Neither Louth nor Monaghan are ever beaten. Real belief they can make a semi-final. Stephen O’Hanlon importance going forward and in defence. Rory Beggan’s fitness is crucial. Could be the game of the weekend. 45:07 - Has the new format delivered? It’s a lot very quickly… little training if you’re not winning. Exciting for spectators, more space would be ideal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Hurling is hard | Quarter-final review with Shane McGrath

    Shane McGrath joins Cathal Mullaney to rake over the coals of two very disappointing hurling quarter-finals and give his own input on the debate about how to improve the standard of hurling across the country and reduce the perceived gap between Leinster and Munster. TIMESTAMPS 00:20- Shane McGrath holidaying in Costa del Centerparcs 02:30 - The step up for Offaly in terms of fitnes and physicality. Bigger picture is stronger counties will always be stronger 07:00 - How can Cork get the best out of Alan Connolly? 12:00 - How will Cork deal with Galway’s packed defence? Will Mark Coleman hold the line? 14:45 - David Reidy injury. Duty of care that players must have. 19:10 - Limerick bring out the best in Clare but too many bodies missing in Banner defence? 22:15 - Dublin don’t travel well. Reliance on Donal Burke. Man-on-man system doesn’t work, but they do have the personnel. 25:45 - Munster just way ahead of Leinster at the minute. Jarlath Burns' comments on time needed to fix hurling nationwide. 28:45 - Is hurling stronger than ever? Takes a long time to improve. Antrim example… too few clubs. 31:45 - Need strong culture as hurling is so hard and improvement takes a long time. 33:23 - How to improve hurling in short term? Start championship in May and look at structure of Joe McDonagh and Christy Ring. 36:20 - Looking forward to All-Ireland minor hurling final. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
