Michael Murphy and Paul Flynn talk to us about Sunday’s classic Division 1 final, which saw Derry beat Dublin twice, only to be denied twice, and then finally get their hands on the trophy via penalties. They’re the real deal alright, but how damaging a defeat is this for Dublin – were they too good to be true over the last 4 weeks, and is this just a course correction?

Ken gets green-pilled by Damien Duff’s latest pronouncements on the FAI Regime’s team, we plan a block-buster showpiece in the Irish football season, and Anthony Gordon misses the Anthony Gordon derby.
