It’s nearly the end of June, and we still haven’t seen a GAA championship game, but that’s all going to change this weekend with 10 games in hurling and football on Saturday and Sunday.

Senior hurling and football analysts Jamie Wall and Oisin McConville tell us why a straight knock-out championship in football is so unfair, and why it didn’t have to be like this. And we discuss if it has to be Dublin and Limerick again, and if it’s such a bad thing if it is.

Plus there’s a Jason McAteer mystery explained, Ken predicts his future coronation of Cristiano Ronaldo as the GOAT, and there’s a seemingly gratuitous mention of Yossi Benayoun.
