Episode 859: The Case For Mayo, Hurlers V Footballers, Gabbin’ About Grunge
GAA championship begrudgers be damned, we’re excited about the summer. We’ve got the old gang back together again, with Micheal Quirke and Oisin McConville looking ahead to a festival of attacking football, guaranteed to be full of shocks and surprises…
Murph makes the case for Mayo (no, really), Dublin and Kerry feature prominently, and there’s even a vote of confidence in where Donegal are headed this summer.

We pay tribute to Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell (look him up, 20-somethings), compare the merits of head-banging and crowd-surfing, re-tell Sam Allardyce’s wine-related pranks, and Ken is reminded of a Keano story he had somehow forgotten.
