The weekend reviewed- and Oisin loses the battle of CrossmaglenFelt like championship in Armagh. Natalie McNally remembered on an extraordinary day with a remarkable comeback. Worrying signals for Monaghan and Donegal- Oisin make his call on who will drop from division one. Derry going well, a great win for Down (In perhaps a strange way) Cavan for promotion, Meath & O’Rourke’s comments and Cork begin to shine. Kerry cruising- but Roscommon are top of the tree!Cork hurlers against Limerick was one of those special nights in the Allianz league- and it wouldn’t have taken much more for Antrim to achieve one of those special days in Belfast- but it didn’t happen. Kilkenny prevail. The immense Billy “Vice grips” DrennanIt’s the GAA Social lite- your Monday fix of the main talking points and the randomness of twitter messages. Joe From Co Derry has perhaps the most unique tweet of the weekend. We love a PA announcement in Ardee.All wrapped up with Oisin McConville and Thomas Niblock on the GAA Social. A bit of craic too

Folge vom 01.02.2023Jarlath Burns-Mr President? The rules, changes to come, Kilmacud/Glen explained, Unionists playing GAA & a United IrelandJarlath Burns is aiming to become GAA President. For 1 hour Thomas Niblock asks him about what changes he’d introduce, aims for the association and going again after failing to be elected three years ago.There are issues. Jarlath gives a unique insight into GAA thinking around the Glen-Kilmacud debacle. We talk about the forward mark, integration with the Camogie Association and the LGFA, amateur status and his plans to tackle those challenges.If Jarlath is elected, he becomes the first President from North of the border in almost 30 years. Perhaps not extraordinary- but significant. Orangemen in his school, an interest in British culture and making the GAA more open to Unionist inclusion. It’s a fascinating insight.What else? The underage grades- they’re going to change and that will delight most people.Oisin McConville challenges Jarlath, his thoughts on where the GAA could be improved and the future ahead of us all.It’s frank, insightful and a brilliant episode of the GAA Social.

Folge vom 26.01.2023Michael Murphy uncut. Donegal, why he retired & what's nextLate last year Michael Murphy shocked the GAA world by announcing his retirement. Rumours circulated. In this episode of the GAA Social, the former Donegal captain sets the record straight. He's one of the most well-known, gifted footballers of a generation- but someone we know very little about. Michael joins Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville to talk about drive, joining the BBC team as an analyst, Donegal underachievement and becoming Donegal manager some day? We're not so sure. Benny Coulter, Tyrone, that game against Dublin that shocked the sport, wedding days and remarkably Oisin is more tight lipped when it comes to talking about Wicklow. Entertaining and insightful- a unique insight into one of the sports greats. The GAA social is back!Oh, and both men pick their winners for the provincial and All-Ireland championships! Blood is thicker than water!!
