Episode 3003: All-Ireland Football Final Preview From Crossmaglen
Our All-Ireland final preview could only happen in one town, with one man – Eoin, Murph and Branno travel to Crossmaglen to talk to Oisin McConville about what the club means to the town, its troubled history, and its disputed future.
We also talk to Thomas Niblock, Oisin’s partner-in-crime on the GAA Social podcast and on BBC NI television, about this Sunday’s game – whether it’s going to be as tight as everyone expects, Armagh’s bench, Murph’s zen calm about Galway, and the one word of advice Oisin has given his nephew Rian O’Neill ahead of the biggest game in the last 20 years of Armagh football.
And given the chance against a goalkeeper of the calibre of Eoin McDevitt, will Oisin grab his shot at redemption from the penalty spot, 22 years after missing in the 2002 All-Ireland final?
