Episode 3113: Gaelic Football 2.0 Greenlighted, Sligo Rising, Pat Kenny On Box Room Boinking
The 48 enhancements that added up to the biggest change in the 140-year history of Gaelic football sailed through a Special Congress on Saturday, and will profoundly alter the game at club and county level for 2025 and beyond.
FRC member Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Paul Flynn tell us why this had to happen, why there’s still room left for tweaks, and what it tells us for the GAA’s approach to tackling the biggest issues from here on out.
We salute Coolera/Strandhill’s achievement in winning the Connacht club championship (with particular congratulations for a Second Captains super-friend), and there’s even an election-week appearance by the great Pat Kenny.
Click the player at the top of the page to play the show. Monday’s shows are free to all and to listen to our programming throughout the rest of the week, join the Second Captains World Service.

You’ll also be supporting the development of our longer-form work, like our recent international series ‘Where Is George Gibney?’.
We’ve seen teams and managers in crisis before, but not this team and not this manager. So nobody can tear their eyes away from the spectacle of Pep Guardiola.
