With Derry the only team to have a 100% record in Division 1 after their thirteen point victory over Monaghan at the weekend, the question is increasingly being asked if Mickey Harte’s team can maintain this standard come the summer?

Dick Clerkin and Colm Keys join Will Slattery on this week’s Throw-In Football show to discuss how far they think Derry can go.

Plus, they also explain why Dublin need the daring and goal threat of Con O’Callaghan once again and they highlight Kerry’s midfield issues and the ongoing problems of Kildare football.

Some of the biggest names in GAA in Ireland discuss the major talking points of the week – on and off the pitch. Michael Verney and Will Slattery among others delve into the best stories with former players like John Mullane, Dick Clerkin, Eddie Brennan and Philly McMahon analysing the games and other All-Stars like Pat Spillane and Joe Brolly dropping in along the way.

From talking points, solo-runs and head-to-heads,…

The Throw-In Football: Derry’s All-Ireland credentials,  Con O’Callaghan’s goal threat & Kildare football is broken

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.

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. 

Meanwhile: Post-mortem starts for Derry; Cillian Burke is Kerry’s find of the year; we rank the four remaining sides in the race for Sam.
