All-Ireland final preview | Kerry going back to back | Is it finally Mayo's time | RTÉ GAA Podcast
2026/07/22
Tomás Ó Sé and Ciarán Whelan join Cathal Mullaney to look ahead to the biggest game in the calendar, the All-Ireland football final.
The Kerry players are looking to deliver back to back titles for Jack O'Connor for the first time in his storied career with Kerry. They're favourites, but how are they dealing with that ahead of a potentially historic occasion.
Mayo have been here before - 11 times since 1989 - but you have to go all the way back to 1951 for their last win. This relatively young team doesn't have all of that baggage, so can they be the ones to finally deliver for the green and red?

2026/07/15
Mike Quirke and Nigel Dunne join Cathal Mullaney for the RTÉ GAA Podcast.We have our All-Ireland final pairing, with Mayo to take on Kerry.
The green and red impressed in dismantling Louth, but can they finally get over the line for the first time since 1951?
Kerry, meanwhile, were efficient in seeing off an unlucky Dublin, but the victory did raise questions about technology and football.
The story of the weekend might have been Wicklow, who pulled a Tailteann Cup victory out of the fire against Down at Croke Park.

Seasoned Louth | Frustrating Galway | High-risk Mayo | Vulnerable Kerry
2026/07/01
Cathal Mullaney is joined by Ciaran Whelan and Nigel Dunne to look back on a breathtaking weekend of football action as the four semi-finalists for the All-Ireland were decided.
00:30 - Best weekend of football this year? Whelo says it is definitely a forwards' game now.
3:00 - Louth-Monaghan review. The story of the weekend. Monaghan like chaos and don't know what to do against 14. Missing McCaul and Beggan. Louth have every chance of beating Mayo. Gavin Devlin guarding against complacency. Sense of trepidation in Mayo. Louth the more seasoned team.
11:50 - Mayo-Cork review. Mayo play a high-risk defence. Looked open in first half. Kobe McDonald hand pass under Cusack: in the old days he’d have ended up in the stands, but Whelo has to admire his confidence.
16:15 - Dublin-Galway review. Importance of the midfield duo of Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne and Ciaran Kilkenny (most underrated footballer of all time, says Nigel). Galway are very frustrating. Fallen short consistently. Padraic Joyce still a great manager, says Nigel, but time to shake things up with younger players. Losing 1-08 to a point in closing stages suggests issues.
30:00 - Whelo’s memories of Paul Clancy. Remarkable ball player, wand of a left foot.
31:35 - Kerry-Tyrone review. Brilliant game of football, epitomised all that's good about new rules. Did Tyrone expose chinks in Kerry defence? A lot of things went against Tyrone but they maxed out their capabilities against a slightly off-colour Kerry. Missed chance for Tyrone. Why is Kerry's kick-out so good?
41:00 - Ranking the four teams that remain.
