Episode 2316: Flynn & McConville On Melees, Mayo-Galway and Donegal-Armagh; Ken Turns Gossip Columnist
The complicated ins and outs of the fall-out from the Donegal-Armagh melee in the league earlier this year – a fixture being repeated in the Ulster championship this Sunday – gives Eoin the opportunity to get your weekend off to the most exciting start possible today. He takes you by the hand and guides you through the exhilarating world of the GAA’s disciplinary committee system from the CCCC to the CHC to the CHA.
We ask Oisin McConville for his thoughts on the melee, the suspension and speedy acquittal for his nephew Rian O’Neill’s part in it and why he thinks Donegal were/are pulling a fast one. Paul Flynn thinks players almost always being successful with their appeals is not acceptable and that if players are involved in these incidents then the punishment needs to stick.
Paul writes off Galway footballers this weekend, and forever, Oisin thinks Tyrone have what it takes to win another All Ireland, and Kerry agree to play their Munster championship game against Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn.
Plus gossip columnist Ken brings us the latest on Gerard Pique’s loose lips and the Coleen Rooney-Rebekah Vardy debacle.

When I studied medicine it was in Earlsfort Terrace @UCDMedicine I was next-door last night. My aunt Doris took this picture last night next door in the National Concert Hall. She’s good! @SecondCaptains @Younghorgan pic.twitter.com/gdTvbAHgBQ
