Dublin are back as kings of Ireland. Philly McMahon joins Oisin & Thomas to talk through the All-Ireland final, Player of the year, the 2023 season and covering the All-Ireland final for the BBC- just a little bit differently. Philly McMahon is a very, very happy man!

In a wide ranging podcast- recorded 36 hours after a heart-breaking All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kerry- this is remarkable stuff from one of the best players in Gaelic football- in Gaelic games! Brendan Rodgers should pick-up an All star award in midfield later this year after a dramatic change of position in 2023. His performance against Kerry was scintillating. We reflect on that defeat, his move to midfield and who he believes will win Sam Maguire (and Liam MacCarthy) The podcast examines a season in red. The referee performance against Kerry, will Ciaran Meenagh remain as manager, the feeling within the camp when Rory Gallagher was replaced as coach 48 hours before the Ulster final- and its impact. Can you play both football and hurling and what's it like being a five-time world champion in Irish dancing. Brendan brings us into a world of pressure! All-star awards- will Brendan pick one up later this year? Does he care? He's an interesting response. Planning a wedding when you've just one free week per-year and his decision not to drink alcohol is interesting. His Sunday night was a cup of tea, a traybake (because it was earned) and off to bed. Different. What's vibrant about this podcast is the brilliant personality of Brendan Rogers. Devoted to Slaughtneil and Derry and an absolute belief he will climb the steps of the Hogan stand for both club and county. He's also a healthy look on life, perspective and being level. A brilliant episode of the Multi-Award winning GAA Social as Brendan Rogers sits down with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville

We got there in the end, the All-Ireland final most people predicted. The journey over an explosive weekend in Croke Park was less obvious. Monaghan brought Dublin to the brink and Derry 'Could have/should have' beaten the All-Ireland champions Kerry. The BBC Commentary and studio team were in full flow and the Harte/McConville battle is back on! Referee decisons critical-Maurice Deegan was part of the commentary team- his insight into the decisions in realtime was superb. Is the job now just impossible and is help required? It's the GAA Social Extra with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville

Philly McMahon has lived, and living a remarkable life. Under Pat Gilroy and Jim Gavin he thrived. We dig deep into both managers- what they brought and why they were different. Gavin is specifically interesting. Bringing the Dublin team to the Battle of the Somme in France and camping in an army barracks. The team to sleep outside and work life out for themselves. He was trying to pick his captain. Remarkable insight into Jim Gavin as a manager. Born in Ballymun, his Father joined the IRA, was shot and escaped from a court appearance. He spent 30 years on the run. His travels to Belfast on the train, his father was his ‘Uncle Frank' From that background- one of the most successful footballers burst into life. At underage and senior level Philly started life as a forward before reaching his true calling in the full-back line. Eight All-Irelands with Dublin, 12 Leinster titles, Five Allianz League titles and double All-star. He was also nominated for Player-of-the-year but didn't get it. Why? The Kieran Donaghy incident possibly. Does Philly regret it? We ask him. We're not so sure about the answer. There's more in this feature length episode of the GAA Social. His best player, marking Colm Cooper, the Aidan O'Shea incident still irks. There's more. What his father had in his wallet that was found a year after he died and who (apart from Dublin) Philly would like to see win the All-Ireland. Will he be manager someday? Could it be Antrim? There's also drugs, its problem in society and the impact of the death of his brother. It's Philly McMahon on the GAA Social with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville

The GAA Social with Oisin McConville & Thomas Niblock- Dublin won't win Sam

It's the GAA Social Extra, on a weekend of one sided Provincial finals- we hope for much more this weekend. A guarenteed sell-out Clones will be a day from the Gods- for the gods. Armagh will win (apparently) and wait for it.....Louth can do it!! It's the GAA Social with Oisin & Thomas.

In one of the most powerful GAA Social podcasts to date, former Armagh manager Brian Canavan joins Thomas and Oisin. He talks football, one of the most high profile shootings in his bar during the Troubles- weeks before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. Brian also talks living with Cancer, refereeing and perhaps unusually, there's plenty of laughs too. In 1998, best friends Damien Trainor and Phillip Allen were killed in a shooting in Poyntzpass. The LVF burst into the Railway Bar and shot dead the life-long friends. Brian Canavan owns the Railway Bar. Both Damien and Phillip were innocent locals, discussing the upcoming wedding of Phillip. Damien was due to be best man. It's one of the most high profile shootings during the troubles. It occurred weeks before the Good Friday Agreement was signed and notable because of David Trimble and Seamus Mallon, together visiting the homes of both victims. Canavan brings us back to that day. It's a remarkable moment in time. Canavan along with Brian McAlinden managed Armagh to back-to-back Ulster championships in 1999 & 2000. It's 23 years since Armagh beat Derry on that famous day at Clones. Oisin McConville scored the winning point after a dubious free was awarded. This week marks a special occasion for Brian. For the first time, he discusses his cancer treatment and on Wednesday May 4th will receive his final radiotherapy treatment. That's the plan! Brian was BBC co-commentator for almost 30 years, we reflect on those days, the battles when in charge of Armagh and a refreshing outlook on life. Brian and his wife Geraldine go away for a night once a week, date night and still the best of friends. Life lessons. It's an absorbing story of love, loss, football and life. It's the brilliant Brian Canavan on the GAA Social

Ryan O'Toole joins Thomas Niblock and Oisin McConville after a day he'll never forget. When the GAA world expected him to go for a point- O'Toole shocked everyone (except himself) and shot for goal. The reward is a place in the Ulster semi-final against Derry. In the immediate aftermath, Ryan reveals walking away from Monaghan, why he did it and how he came back. Mickey Harte joined Oisin and Michael Murphy in the BBC Studio and at half-time, pretty much dismissed the chance of a second-half come back. Needless to say, Oisin was waiting on the wings at full-time! We reflect on a comfortable win for Rory Gallagher & co over Fermanagh The GAA Social, with Ryan O'Toole in Omagh.

It's Championship. Yes- it's April, but it's Championship. Here we go....

Former Armagh goalkeeper Paul Hearty joined Ger Gilroy to look ahead to the meeting of his ex-Crossmaglen teammates Oisin McConville and Tony Entee on the sideline in the Division Four Football League final.

Wicklow are promoted & Oisin McConville walks on water. Well, sort of. Fab Fermanagh

Shane Walsh is one of GAA's biggest stars. The All-Ireland final shootout between him and David Clifford will go down as one of the greatest battles of all-time. The Galway star sits down with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville in a reveal all podcast, providing a rare insight into one Gaelic Games most influential sportsmen. There's much to discuss. Shane transferred from his club Kilkerrin/Clonberne to Kilmacud Crokes after Galway's All-Ireland defeat to Kerry (although his mind was made up before the Armagh game) the transfer shocked the sport. Why? How did he feel about the abuse aimed towards him, his new club- and will he go back home in the future, if roads lead back West? There's the All-Ireland club final with Glen. 17 players. Was it cheating? Would the Leinster champions fulfil a replay- if that was the Call? With nothing off-limits Shane opens up to the GAA Social about hopes for Galway in 2023, that battle with David Clifford and the influence Ronan O'Gara had on him the night before the All-Ireland final with Kerry. Oisin loves O'Gara and reveals his own admiration for the former Ireland number 10. The importance of imagination, a lesson he learned as a six-year-old and the influence of Padraic Joyce is all packed into this podcast. Also, how did Walsh manage a substantial break during the inter-county season and could we seriously have lost him to another sport? A mature, confident but humble young man- Shane Walsh comes across brilliantly in another exceptional episode of the GAA Social

Darragh McGurn is one of the most impressive young footballers playing Gaelic football. During lockdown, he binned a career in Aerospace engineering to start-up an Instagram page aimed at fitness. It's taken off. Over 80,000 followers across social media he created a business to compliment his commitment to Fermanagh Gaelic football. An active social media as an inter-county footballer is tricky ground. Darragh also opens up about abuse aimed towards him online. The full-forward believes Fermanagh have to fight that bit harder for recognition- but ultimately it's down to him and his teammates in green. What drives him? What does success look like and with championship just around the corner and a difficult draw against Derry- is a first ever provincial title possible in 2023? The discussion also centres around facilities. Dublin, Kerry, Derry and Tyrone lead the way- how much of this off-field development is the responsibility of players? Should they help more? Division three is crammed- one win can separate looking at relegation and aiming for promotion. Fermanagh have three massive games remaining that could define their season. The brilliant Darragh McGurn, open and honest with Thomas Niblock and Oisin McConville

This is the most powerful episode of the GAA Social. Oisin McConville & Thomas Niblock take in the remarkable story of Armagh Gaelic footballer Aoife Lennon. The former NI soccer international explains how anorexia almost ended her life and continues to have an influence on her daily and sporting day-to-day. Afraid of pasta, anxiety and a menstrual cycle that's been missing for a decade. These challenges, folllowed the suicide of Aoife's father, when she was just 13-years-old. This is a story of resilience, openness and the GAA Social shines a light on critically important conversations. Aoife explains her story before Thomas and Oisin unpick and explore a world we know very little about. It's not just female sportspeople. There's growing evidence, suggesting eating disorders are changing the lives of male sports stars. Why is this and what can be done to help? It's different- but it's powerful. Mega respect to the brilliant Aoife Lennon, a role model we can all be proud of for sharing her incredible story.

Oisin McConville and Thomas Niblock reflect upon week three of the Allianz leagues. Big wins for Roscommon, Dublin, Mayo and Monaghan- Derry revival continues and a clinker between Down and Fermanagh. The Podcast also reflects on Jarlath Burns election to the Presidency of the GAA and what it means moving forward. Oisin doubles down on the differences between North & South!

Conn Kilpatrick opens the can on Tyrone and discusses one of the most asked questions in Gaelic Games- why does everyone hate Tyrone? Oisin McConville, Thomas Niblock & Conn try to work out the answer. That's the fun bit- Rocky IV is too! With Conn there's also a serious story. An accomplished footballer, an All-Ireland winner- an addict. recovering from gambling- and failing. It's been a challenging journey for Conn, but his recent impressive form with Tyrone perhaps shows the 'Good place' he sits both on and off the pitch. He's determined for more. Brutally honest and open- it's another brilliant episode of the GAA Social.

In a revealing episode of the GAA social- Allstar and 2022 Ulster winning captain Chrissy McKaigue reveals he was going to walk away from the Derry squad- just weeks before a first championship title in almost a quarter of a century. In a personal and brilliant episode of the podcast, McKaigue believes Derry are good enough to win an All-Ireland, his relationship with other club players, how that's changed and relives 'that' point scored by Paddy McBrearty in 2021- dumping Derry out of the championship. McKaigue is no longer the captain, he explains his feelings towards that decision. There's Jim Gavin and the inside track on the real Mickey Moran. We dig into the real Rory Gallagher and what he's really like behind the scenes. Perhaps not what you'd expect. It's a fascinating insight. Professionally, Chrissy has quit his job as a teacher and is now a full-time GPO for Slaughtneil. How did that come about? Who pays for it? It's a model that other clubs will develop. Raw, deep and uncut. Chrissy McKaigue, like you've never heard him before, in the GAA Social with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville.

The weekend reviewed- and Oisin loses the battle of Crossmaglen Felt like championship in Armagh. Natalie McNally remembered on an extraordinary day with a remarkable comeback. Worrying signals for Monaghan and Donegal- Oisin make his call on who will drop from division one. Derry going well, a great win for Down (In perhaps a strange way) Cavan for promotion, Meath & O'Rourke's comments and Cork begin to shine. Kerry cruising- but Roscommon are top of the tree! Cork hurlers against Limerick was one of those special nights in the Allianz league- and it wouldn't have taken much more for Antrim to achieve one of those special days in Belfast- but it didn't happen. Kilkenny prevail. The immense Billy “Vice grips” Drennan It's the GAA Social lite- your Monday fix of the main talking points and the randomness of twitter messages. Joe From Co Derry has perhaps the most unique tweet of the weekend. We love a PA announcement in Ardee. All wrapped up with Oisin McConville and Thomas Niblock on the GAA Social. A bit of craic too

Jarlath Burns is aiming to become GAA President. For 1 hour Thomas Niblock asks him about what changes he'd introduce, aims for the association and going again after failing to be elected three years ago. There are issues. Jarlath gives a unique insight into GAA thinking around the Glen-Kilmacud debacle. We talk about the forward mark, integration with the Camogie Association and the LGFA, amateur status and his plans to tackle those challenges. If Jarlath is elected, he becomes the first President from North of the border in almost 30 years. Perhaps not extraordinary- but significant. Orangemen in his school, an interest in British culture and making the GAA more open to Unionist inclusion. It's a fascinating insight. What else? The underage grades- they're going to change and that will delight most people. Oisin McConville challenges Jarlath, his thoughts on where the GAA could be improved and the future ahead of us all. It's frank, insightful and a brilliant episode of the GAA Social.

Emotional day in Ballybofey as the All-Ireland champions start 2023 with a defeat. There's also no need for Tyrone to panic. When one Shane Walsh isn't enough and the madness of modern day goalkeeping- it's here to stay. We have all the analysis from the opening league games in the new GAA season. Also, In his first Allianz league game as manager Oisin McConville talks through his first game in charge- a draw with Carlow and looks forward (well, sort of) to meeting his old friend and teammateTony McEntee who brings Sligo to Aughrim. Tweet Jibes, mind your own business and lots of love to Joe. It's the Monday GAA Social

Late last year Michael Murphy shocked the GAA world by announcing his retirement. Rumours circulated. In this episode of the GAA Social, the former Donegal captain sets the record straight. He's one of the most well-known, gifted footballers of a generation- but someone we know very little about. Michael joins Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville to talk about drive, joining the BBC team as an analyst, Donegal underachievement and becoming Donegal manager some day? We're not so sure. Benny Coulter, Tyrone, that game against Dublin that shocked the sport, wedding days and remarkably Oisin is more tight lipped when it comes to talking about Wicklow. Entertaining and insightful- a unique insight into one of the sports greats. The GAA social is back! Oh, and both men pick their winners for the provincial and All-Ireland championships! Blood is thicker than water!!

The GAA Social is back! Not one, but two episodes per week in 2023! The award winning podcast series, voted Irish Sports podcast of the year in 2022, will have Oisin McConville joining Thomas Niblock every week.

This podcast however is talking about the biggest story in gaelic games- The All-Ireland club final. Objection in- Kilmacud & Glen- will we see a replay? The boys have their say, and don't hold back. It is great to be back!!

Allstar nominee Rian O'Neill joins Thomas Niblock and Oisin Mcconville. Rian talks winning an All-Ireland, reputation for being bad, what is a main man and delaing with pressure. Rian brings us into the moment for the summer defining free-kick against Galway- was it better that Sean O'Shea's? Rian also brings us into the mind of a modern day top level gaelic footballer- the aspiration and winning with Crossmaglen. It's been a busy few weeks for Oisin who is now the Wicklow manager- but didn't get the May job along with Ray Dempsey. Did Mayo get it right? Oisin is very clear. It's also the first GAA social since the podcast won sports podcast of the year at the Irish Podcast awards. Thank you, our listeners on BBC Sounds for your support. Words couldn't reflect how grateful the team is for all your support. We're back!!

This is a very open, honest, and captivating conversation with one of football's most gifted players. Oisín McConville has won several Ulster titles, All Ireland medals, and a national league title. He became Ulster football's top scorer and was awarded two All-Stars during his career. But while he was enjoying incredible success on the pitch, Oisin's personal life was spiralling out of control. A gambling addiction saw him run up massive debts, fall out with friends and family, and have suicidal thoughts. In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock podcast, Oisin opens up about his love (and hate) for football, how he overcame a destructive gambling addiction, and he tells me the fascinating history of Crossmaglen and how the British Army (inadvertently) helped his team succeed. COMEDY:The big heatwave is here and all of my podcast colleagues are talking about it, especially David McWilliams and Joanne McNally and Vogue Williams.

In one of the most powerful, honest and explosive episodes of the GAA Social yet- Former Meath manager Andy McEntee explains what it's really like being an inter-county manager. There was an attempt to oust he former All-Ireland winning club coach in October 2021- but Andy survived and was backed ferociously by the clubs in Meath. This is his account of what happened, the trust that was lost, the abusive messages and letters received by him and his family and the hurt inflicted. It's not all bad- in the words of McEntee there were more good days and that's reflected in the letters that dropped through his front door, the relationships with the players and a gradual improvement of the team against a backdrop of the greatest team of all-time, Dublin. For the first time in an interview, Andy explains the impact of loss following the death of his brother Shane, Minister for Agriculture, who died by suicide in 2012. It's an emotional powerful story and shines a light on online abuse and the pressures of inter-county management. There are some brilliant moments of laughter and the positivity of Andy McEntee shines through. Brutally honest, funny and emotional and a focus on the All-Ireland football quarter-finals this weekend. Bad news for Armagh supporters, Oisin McConville believes they're going to win (so they'll lose) or will they? A brilliant podcast & massive respect to Andy McEntee for being so honest, especially talking about his brother Shane. A gent

One of the most talented gaelic footballers currently playing the sport- Daniel Flynn of Kildare reveals all to Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville on the GAA Social.

Why a career in AFL didn't work out and having to pick between seeing his grandfather before he died or go back for the funeral- but not both! It's a honest reflection on football, life and the future for him and Kildare. Kieran McGeeney was maager of Kildare when Daniel was first on the squad and he explains the impact the Armagh man had on the county and why the players almost decided to down tools when he was removed from post. He also reflects on Jack O'Connor, who left Kildare to take Kerry 'Who would turn down the chance to manage Manchester United? Facinating insight

Rory O'Neill is joined by Ciaran Whelan, Oisin McConville and Sunday Times GAA correspondent Michael Foley to preview the weekend's All-Ireland SFC qualifiers.

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.

There's “Paddy Power”, the Irish bookmakers known for revolutionising the gambling business and their outlandish marketing campaigns; and then there's Paddy Power the man. In recent years he has come to embody the brand and take centre stage in their advertising but who is Paddy Power? How does he feel about the journey of this humble family business to the global force that is today. In this candid interview with comedian Jarlath Regan he gives us a rare and personal insight into his journey with his father, the business and the dark shadow of addiction that comes with it.

Armagh captain Kelly Mallon has spent 14 years playing for Armagh. The greatest moment for her, is having a pitch to train on. Would a male senior Armagh player say that? It's a little uncomfortable but this podcast with Thomas & Oisin shines a light on the journey travelled within the sport- still not officially recognised- and most importantly what needs to happen next. Armagh Chairperson Sinead Reel is also on the podcast and explains how Armagh became the first and only inter-county ladies team to have their own bespoke facilities. No travel expenses- the boys get their food for the week- the girls don't. It's one of a number of points to come up in a brilliant podcast listen. Oisin McConville picks who will win the Ulster mens final and picks the bones of famous Derry win over Monaghan. Tailteann Cup draw also features- will it work out?

It's a strange one. The most laughs in a single podcast- yet cancer is the topic! Former Derry gaelic footballer Mark Lynch charts his recovery from testicular cancer, the day he was told and going under the knife. Keeping positive helps and is his own unique way, Mark explains every step from diagnosis to 'the great day' Del boy & Rodney make an apperance via Oisin McConville, who remains confused about where Armagh actually are at? He does know where Banagher is- eventually! Recording was in Dungiven where stories of pints are told. This podcast smashes the shackles of cancer conservatism- and it's ok to use words like testicles and scrotum. It's educational and something every young man (and old) should listen to. Mark, Oisin & Thomas at their very best. We hope you enjoy

This week Ryan Murray- talks the Antrim problem. The greater Belfast area has almost 20 times the population of Leitrim, but it consistently fails to win.

A brilliant championship opener ahead of what promises to be an amazing Ulster and All-Ireland championship.

In an astonishing interview, Antrim goalkeeper Chris Kerr reveals how he contemplated suicide after the death of his father. The lowest point arrived after the final game at Casement Park, when Antrim lost to Monaghan and Kerr found himself at his lowest point. Despite the trauma and pain- this podcast is an uplifting journey from rock bottom to a man who has found a wife, a new home and is about to become a father for the first time this summer. Life is good for Chris Kerr. Now living in Armagh, Chris explains the difference between life at a rural club and his native St Gall's, receiving the call-up back to represent Antrim and looks ahead to the Ulster championship- Corrigan or nowhere! Chris now works with the GPA and explains the mental health challenges modern day GAA players face and along with Oisin McConville & Thomas Niblock- this is a podcast that starts football and meanders into life. A fabulous listen

An incredible insight into the Allianz League top scorer. It's not Darren McCurry, David Clifford or Dean Rock- it's Sam Mulroy. In a frank and honest interview, the Louth captain brings us inside the changing room, inside Mickey Harte and the road to becoming Leinster champions. Challenged by Oisin McConville- even outside football, Sam is brutally honest and sets his sights on becoming the best Gaelic footballer in Louth- and beyond!

Armagh U20 co-manager Oisin McConville joined Shane to discuss why he's enjoying Division 1 so far, his own season ahead on the u20 sidelines, how the spilt season is shaping up, and the supports in place for players with gambling issues.

This podcast started with Richie Power & his amazing career. 12 inter-county All-Irelands, double All-star, an All-Ireland with his club & coming from a family of hurling royalty. The Podcast ends with Richie, for the first time, talking about his gambling addiction. In an emotional, frank and honest interview, Richie explains how the addiction took hold of his life, where he ended up and reaching out for help. Richie and his three-time All Ireland winning father drove the car North to meet Oisin McConville in the Carrickdale hotel- a cry for help.

Richie also explains to Thomas Niblock how his career was cut short because of injury, the power of the club, his struggles to cope and life outside the black & amber. It's a powerful podcast with fun moments and the harsh reality faced by many in society, who suffer from addiction. Richie Power, legend, father, All-Ireland winner, Allstar, addict.
