Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon join Will Slattery on the latest Throw-In Football show to look back on the final round of football league games before next week’s Divisional finals.

Dick sums it up as a dismal, drab campaign placing a lot of the blame on managers who were content with mid-table. Even Monaghan’s relegation wasn’t as big a deal, he says. All that matters is being in the last 16 for Sam.

With a League final between Dublin and Derry to look forward to, Conor reckons this is as good a squad Dublin have had in recent years. But have Dublin progressed so far or have others like Kerry actually regressed instead?

The Throw-In Football: Are the managers to blame for such a poor football League?

John Mullane (in a hot van) and Pat Ryan, fresh after walking the dogs before the sun rises, join Michael after a stellar final weekend of round-robin hurling action.
Dublin’s monumental win over Kilkenny is top billing, as the lads ask what next for Kilkenny as their summer is over. Verney, in his colours, also gets the ball rolling on analysis of lively Offaly as they reach the quarter-finals.
In Munster, Cork and Limerick booked their spots in the provincial final - who will come in as favourites? The lads also look at Clare’s chances in the All-Ireland series

Fresh off the news that Donegal and Kerry face no further sanctions or suspensions after Saturday’s clash, Pat Spillane & Dick Clerkin join Michael for a high-paced football episode.
The siege mentality from Jim McGuinness, Kerry’s missing talent and the reaction to the sanction news are all on the menu for the rematch of last year’s All-Ireland final.
Elsewhere, Tyrone defeat Roscommon and Cork rebound in what is turning out to be a wide-open championship. Pat then remembers his old opponent and team-mate Frank McGuigan
Plus: Sean Fitzgerald goes to Love Island - what do we think?
