On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon join Will Slattery as the second round of the All-Ireland series threw up a historic victory for Louth and a worrying lack of fans in Croke Park. 

Donegal, meanwhile, continue their resurgence, as Conor believes Jim McGuinness’s men have leapfrogged the chasing pack in the race for Sam Maguire. Elsewhere, Dick states his belief that some are giving Armagh more credit than they have earned. 

The team also look ahead to the Bank Holiday action this weekend, with Mayo v Roscommon catching the eye.

Galway bring belief into All-Ireland final showdown with Kerry

Armagh are All-Ireland champions, a victory our panel regard as one of the greatest managerial feats in football history. 

On this week’s Sam Magure decider review, Will Slattery was joined by Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon to break down what Armagh did right in a season where they had a unique opportunity to win silverware and took it, why Shane Walsh does not deserve the harsh reaction, and on what the key difference was in the final - Galway had the ball, but Armagh had control.

We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has listened, followed and engaged with us over the course of the season. Be sure to keep an eye on the Irish Independent app, social channels and podcast feeds for more Gaelic football content later throughout the year.
