The GAA Social Folgen

Aidan Forker has made the successful transition from an inter-county into one of the star defenders in the game. Reguraly asked to mark opponents most dangeous forwards, Forker explains what Darren McCurry said to him on Sunday, marking David Clifford at Croke Park and the hurt of their "flat" performance against Donegal in the opening round of the Ulster championship. with just days to go ahead of Armaghs crucial championship qualifier against Donegal (again) Aidan sits down with Thomas & Oisin in the Armagh Athletic grounds changing rooms (where the whiteboard still has the messages from Sundays win over Tyrone. It's a facinating insight into the drive of a modern day gaelic footballer and the challenges having a young family can provide is the selfish worls of sport. Love Island begins, Oisins predictions are beyond woeful (but he's happy enough) and Aidan lifts the lid on what its like gaving Kieran Donaghy and Kieran McGeeney in charge. A brilliant insight.

What a podcast. From Gingers (African sunset) to going on the session before the 2008 All-Ireland final- and lying to Mickey Harte. Owen Mulligan is brutually honest but after coaching Tyrone to the All-Ireland U20 title- there's a bit more to 'Mugsy' than many perhaps know. A facinating insight into on of sports greatest rivalries & what he really thought of Oisin McConville. The story of how his Tyrone days came to an end is incredible and how his stubborness prevented a return to red and white. With laughter throughout- this podcast is a colourful hilarious journey into the life of Mugsy and more importantly a new direction on the sidelines- and one he's pretty good at. Oisin believes he won the good looking competition.

Recorded in front of a live studio audience in Slaughtneil's wonderful An Carn theatre- this podcast is different. Mark McHugh was coached by rory Gallagher at donegal, in Kilcar and speak weekly (Mark called Rory for directions to Slaughtneil) it's an utterly facinating insight into a coach- that's mellowed? Tony Scullion believes people should support Tyrone- but gets caught about 1995 and Oisin has backed Logan & Dooher to win Sam Maguire (Yes that's the team who Armagh play next) The podcast focuses on the Ulster final, how it will be won and lost- and who will lift Sam Maguire in July (That's right, it's July) Tony & Mark provide a brilliant insight into Michael Murphy. Plenty of craic & laughs- it's your one-stop podcast ahead of Sunday's Ulster final. This episode will also be available on BBC iplayer, with questions from the audience on Tuesday 24th May 2022PS- Tony Scullion has the best voice of any individual on earth, apart from the great American singer Barry White
