Colm Keys and Conor McKeon joined Will Slattery after a weekend where Dublin went crashing out to a spirited Galway, who came of age to defeat the All-Ireland Champions.

Dessie Farrell’s selection choices naturally came under the microscope, and the team discuss whether the Dubs front-loaded their squad too much in a game where the Tribe surged late on.

Football: Were Dublin wrong to start Paul Mannion and Jack McCaffrey?

Limerick legend Ciarán Carey joined the Throw-In’s regular trio of John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney to preview this weekend’s All-Ireland semi-finals. 

The team break down whether Limerick can come back at Cork following the Rebels' thrilling victory over the Treaty men in the provincial series. There’s a belief that Limerick would have gone over that clash with a fine comb - after all, they ‘have a score to settle’ according to Ciarán. 

Meanwhile, John Mullane gives his reaction to the news that Davy Fitzgerald has stepped down as Waterford boss.

Elsewhere, the pressure is on Clare to realise their potential and knock off a Kilkenny side who yearn for All-Ireland success.

News broke this week that legendary GAA broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh died aged 93. 

His legacy is one filled with kindness, grá for Gaelic games and a unique commentary style that is woven into the stories of many iconic Irish sporting moments.

For this special edition of the Throw-In, Martin Breheny and Colm Keys joined Shane Brennan to recall how Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh built his respect, and why so many GAA fans loved his commentary. 

Remembering Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh 

Frank Roche and Dick Clerkin joined Will Slattery in the wake of an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final round that saw Mayo crash out, Roscommon surprise and Louth make history. 

Dick breaks down what he sees as Mayo’s true undoing - not scoring enough before half-time, and he believes that the county can’t have too many complaints after a disappointing end to their season on penalties. 

Frank witnessed Roscommon shock Tyrone at the weekend, and he recounts why their first half was one of the finest displays in county history as Tyrone joined Mayo in the exit pile.

Meanwhile, Derry could be Kerry’s undoing, the lads aren’t betting much on Armagh, and is Louth boss Ger Brennan worthy of winning Manager of the Year?
