The GAA Social Folgen

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!!

From child prodigy to 'Hurling player of the year' Austin Gleeson is one of the sports biggest names and he’s on the GAA Social. In an open and frank podcast, the 2016 Player-of-the-year talks openly about mental frailties in Waterford, his doubts, what went wrong in 2022, Davy Fitzgerald as the new boss and his firm belief that he will win the All-Ireland- and it could happen in 2023.He speaks openly about losing Liam Cahill to Tipperary and his relationship with the former Waterford manager (Not brilliant on the Tuesday after going on the beer in Belfast)Oisin talks Wicklow and his role as their new manager (Starting on November 24th, and not a day before apparently) the training ban is firmly in placeGleeson also confronts (Actually, in the very first question) the reputation of his ‘Nasty streak’ He was sent off this year against Wexford and Cork.It’s a rare insight into one of the games greats. The moment when Austin fought back against claims he wasn’t fit enough, his before & after pictures are incredible. The kid who made his Mount Sion debut after eating a Snackbox- to the man who was the best hurler in Ireland- with more to come. An insightful podcast and a beautiful final compliment from the Tipperary manager on the brilliance of Austin Gleeson
