Ryan O'Toole joins Thomas Niblock and Oisin McConville after a day he'll never forget. When the GAA world expected him to go for a point- O'Toole shocked everyone (except himself) and shot for goal. The reward is a place in the Ulster semi-final against Derry. In the immediate aftermath, Ryan reveals walking away from Monaghan, why he did it and how he came back. Mickey Harte joined Oisin and Michael Murphy in the BBC Studio and at half-time, pretty much dismissed the chance of a second-half come back. Needless to say, Oisin was waiting on the wings at full-time! We reflect on a comfortable win for Rory Gallagher & co over FermanaghThe GAA Social, with Ryan O'Toole in Omagh.

This is his story on championship week.Fermanagh's Sean Quigley provides a fascinating and unvarnished insight into the mind of a leading Gaelic footballer on this week's podcast. Straight-talking Quigley bites back at the podcast, discusses the media's attitude towards Fermanagh and the state of modern inter-county football - are players too sensitive these days? He also explains why he wouldn't allow a nutritionist into his home and analyses the evolving role of the marquee forward. The Roslea man offers insight into the mind of Rory Gallagher ahead of this weekend's Ulster Championship quarter-final - but he isn't sure if the Derry boss is still a "Fermanagh man".Funny, moving, serious and fun, Sean offers a refreshingly honest assessment of the modern game - and his place in it - on the latest GAA Social.

Folge vom 10.04.2023Party in the Bronx- and Roscommon! Cork Crisis, Mayo, An Antrim thesis still true. Armagh Unknown & Wicklow blossomWhat a night it was in New York, a first ever championship win in Connacht and a victory up there with the Yankees 1998 season (well, sort of) In '98, did the Yankees move off 1st base, risking a few yards, just like the NY goalkeeper? Should it have been spotted by the officials? It was however an amazing win for NY and as one tweeter told the GAA Social 'It's the best championship moment of the season- and it's only the first week'It wasn't a good week for Antrim. Their performance against Armagh was flat- where does the county go from here? Armagh against Cavan might be a bit different?We look at Cork and what's gone wrong, Sligo win, Tipp too and two massive results for Laois and Offaly.It's the GAA Social and plenty of questions for the Wickow manager after a stunning win over Carlow #AskOisin
