It’s All-Ireland football final week, and it’s Dublin V Kerry.

An historic occasion beckons, regardless of the result. The last two finals where a team was going for a 5 in a row – in 1982 in football, and 2010 in hurling – have gone down in history as two of the greatest GAA moments in history, and Dublin are the third team to get as far as the showpiece in their quest for a fifth title in succession.

Oisin McConville and Mike Quirke do full justice to the occasion as we discuss Brian Fenton’s partner for the afternoon, Kerry’s forward division, Dublin’s 2-6 in 12 minutes against Mayo, and why David Clifford is a bit of a divil.

Plus – Eoin keeps pressing his RWC panic button (to the annoyance of listeners and work colleagues everywhere) Joe Schmidt addresses the nation – ON A TUESDAY!

And Oisin explains why Andy Moran’s Ryan Giggs type capacity for re-invention was what made him a true great.
