Episode 1869: Box Office Diarmo, Dundalk’s Europa, Talent Or Hard Work, Ken’s Garden
Diarmuid Connolly was one of the most extravagantly gifted footballers of this or any generation – and he retires with 6 All-Ireland titles, and the praise of the GAA world ringing in his ears.
Oisin McConville and Malachy Clerkin join us to talk about one of the greats, why for all his brilliance there was still a sense of unfulfilled potential, and we go deep (too deep) on why he only won 2 All-stars.
Plus there’s Dundalk’s triumphant march to the Europa League group stages and the riches that await, and Ken tells us a little story about his south-facing Dublin garden, and why Murph shouldn’t be so jealous of it.
Plus there’s a McTepid, talent v hard work, two footed footballers and Frances reports on Palace Premier Sports and the Pro 14.

Thanks for all your messages on today’s ep which has stirred up some serious emotions, perhaps more than any ep so far. A mix of devastation, immense love & respect for Laura & Chalkie, & incredible anger towards Gibney. I think that anger is important https://t.co/UQe4AfLAf4
