Episode 1234: Galway’s Cunning Plan, Monaghan’s History With Tyrone, Golf Goes Online, TV’s Transitional Phase, Hate Mail, GAA’s Patrick Kavanagh
Galway have a cunning plan and Monaghan have an understated genius of a manager – could we be looking at a novel All Ireland final pairing? Or will Dublin do what they always do, and will Tyrone do what they always do to Monaghan?

Malachy Clerkin of The Irish Times and former Galway footballer Barry Cullinane look at the many things that have to happen for Galway to beat Dublin, what weaknesses Dublin have, what is behind Malachy O’Rourke’s impressive rise, who the real heroes are for Monaghan, and if Tyrone have evolved enough to win an All Ireland.

In Europe the only way to watch the USPGA this week is on the Eleven Sports app, on which all four rounds can be viewed: 1) for free by signing up to a seven-day trial; 2) on their website; or 3) on Facebook live courtesy of Eleven, which will show the first two rounds for free. We talk to Alex Myers of Golf Digest about this progressive but risky move and what it says about golf’s place in the sports world, and what it says about the sports TV market in general.

Are Galway searching for motivation, or is Joe Canning right to say they don’t get enough R.E.S.P.E.C.T? Did Clare choke? And can Limerick really block out the friends and family looking for tickets? @DuignanMichael is in studio…
