Remembering Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh 

Joe is joined by Colm Keys, Dermot Crowe and Frank Roche for a heavyweight GAA roundtable to discuss all the big football and hurling talking points.
Paidi Ó Sé's magical summer with Westmeath in 2004, Roscommon's bumper Connacht haul and Armagh's depth are all on the football menu while the Leinster championship format leads the hurling chat.

Paidi Ó Sé's Westmeath summer | Roscommon's rise | Kilkenny in trouble | GAA Roundtable

Dick Clerkin (in his Monaghan polo) and Pat Spillane are on hand after a magical provincial final weekend saw Roscommon prove they can compete with the best, as oddly Galway also come out in a positive mindset about their chances to score their way to Sam.
Kerry’s attacking efficiency, scheduling of underage championships and a look ahead to the Ulster final are also on the cards.

Roscommon have no fear | Don’t forget about Kerry’s backs | Ulster final preview

A ‘Leinster-tainment’ deep dive kicks of today’s Indo GAA show, where Michael, John Mullane and Pat Ryan predict how they see the final exchanges in the provincial championship playing out - and debate the merits of a potential format restructure.
They discuss how Eoghan Cahill and Offaly are beginning to be rewarded for their resilience, where Kilkenny stand heading into their clash versus Kildare and the return of Liam Rushe to the ranks of Dublin.
They also review the cards dished out at Waterford and Cork’s clash at Walsh Park, question the diminished rotating cast of referees and look ahead to the games coming up this weekend.
