You’d scarcely believe that the All Ireland hurling semi-finals are taking place this weekend, such is the shadow being cast by last weekend’s Armagh-Galway brawl and the eye gouging of Damien Comer. We chat about some of the takes being thrown up in the media coverage of the match since Sunday (0.40).

The main event still remains those hurling semi-finals, though, and with that in mind, we’re joined by Jamie Wall and Malachy Clerkin to chat about where Limerick are in the arc of a great team, how freetakers could decide the fate of Clare and Kilkenny, and varying opinions on just how goosed Galway are (18.46).

Plus there’s our weekly LIVline slot, as a fresh batch of golfers line up and decide how best to deal with pesky questions about human rights. Are some journalists’ questions beginning to veer out of the realm of fact, though? (57.30).
