When does the ‘Dark Arts’ cross the line between players on the GAA pitch?  And is sledging on the rise?

On this episode of Philly McMahon’s Friday Throw-In, presented by Sinéad Kissane and with the Irish Independent’s Donnchadh Boyle, the Dublin legend explains why he doesn’t agree with the negative connotations attached to the ‘Dark Arts’.

For him, it’s about mental warfare and getting into your opponents’ heads and he describes some of the personal abuse he has suffered at the hands of two players, something he didn’t let go.
