Will Slattery and Michael Verney are joined by Martin Breheny for a special episode of the Throw-In to reflect on 50 years of All-Star teams.
Starting on Tuesday, Martin has a series running this week in the Irish Independent and on Independent.ie reflecting on the scheme, looking at the biggest winners as well as the best players that were never selected.
Martin explains to the lads what the selection meetings are like with the All-Stars voters, and also tells them why he resigned from the committee in 1985 and didn't return for 15 years!
The representation of smaller counties, the Brian Whelahan debacle in 1994 and the foundation of the scheme are all discussed too.

All Stars at 50 - debate, resignations and controversies

It was an action-packed weekend of hurling action and Eddie Brennan and John Mullane join Michael Verney on the latest Throw-In Hurling show to discuss all the big talking points including Limerick’s humbling of Tipp with the lads asking is the Limerick green machine better than ever and what effect will the Peter Casey injury have on the rest of their campaign?

Cork v Clare was a cracker with Clare winning without Tony Kelly and pushing on from their opening round loss to Limerick, but it leaves Cork staring into the abyss.

In Leinster, Galway’s draw with Kilkenny shows they’re not progressing and still relying on the Class of '17, while Kilkenny are still doing what they do despite their four big absentees.

And let’s not forget Antrim’s shock win over Wexford and what it means for the Leinster championship.

Plus, looking ahead to next weekend, Waterford v Tipperary promises plenty of fireworks between Davy Fitzgerald v Liam Cahill but with the two big hurling games, why are both on GAAGO?

Hurling: The green machine rolls on, Cork staring into the abyss & Davy v Cahill fireworks expected

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon join Will Slattery to break down Donegal and Armagh’s path to this year’s Ulster final.

Elsewhere, the crew break down Kildare’s season of woes as a Leinster whimper condemned a ‘sleeping giant’ to Tailteann Cup football. The problem? Conor and Dick do not believe it lies with the players.

Football: Can Donegal really challenge Dublin? And Kildare have the players - not the team

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Colm Keys is joined by Dick Clerkin and Frank Roche to break down the most exciting weekend of championship action so far.

Jim McGuinness engineered a tactical masterclass to expose Derry’s use of a fly-keeper, Dick outlines why the Oak Leaf midfield could not take control of the game as Colm adds that their dedication to the fly-keeper tactic was like ‘the band playing on the Titanic’.

Meanwhile, Frank analyses Mayo’s reliance on the ever-improving Ryan O’Donoghue after their victory over Roscommon; plus they also break down Tyrone’s chances following a win over Cavan that surprisingly produced a higher total score than Limerick v Clare in the hurling.
