The Throw-In Football: Are there more All-Irelands left in this Dublin team?

On this week’s Throw-In football show, Dick Clerkin and Colm Keys join Will Slattery to pick apart Derry’s collapse from league winners at Easter time to another poor defensive performance at home. 

Colm remarks that poor management is to blame as Derry have not learned their lessons from their Ulster championship defeat to Donegal, while Dick asks if Mickey Harte has lost the dressing room?

Elsewhere, Donegal are also leaking goals; Meath show no physicality and the team ask if the Tailteann Cup is fit for purpose.

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.

Questions over management have begun to crop up, as John states his support for Davy Fitzgerald staying on.
