Episode 3102: Brian Fenton’s Shock Retirement, GOAT Debate, Blue Doom, Ken Glances At The Abyss

Paul Flynn tells us just how big a moment this is for the Dubs, and why he thinks the Leinster championship just got a whole lot more interesting. If Dublin fans were worried about the future, the future has just arrived.
Brian Fenton has announced his retirement from inter-county football after ten memorable seasons in Blue.
