Episode 3526: Leeds March On Carrick’s Future, Hot GAA Summer, Five Star Geezer, Slot Slop

This Gaelic football season was supposed to be a procession for Kerry. The rules are changed, skilful footballers are back in vogue, and that means they’re back on top for good… and then the league final happened. So Paul Flynn joins us today to see what the lie of the land is ahead of a suddenly wide-open GAA summer, including the “we are SO BACK” provincial championships.

We also discuss Manchester United’s dispiriting 2-1 loss at home to Leeds last night, and what it means for Michael Carrick’s future, and there’s the soul behind the greatest (football) song of all time.
