Episode 3245: Can Clare Beat The Odds?, Skorts Saga Rumbles On, Cork & Limerick Go Again, Louth Take Leinster

We also discuss the skorts issue that continues to rumble on inexplicably, John McGrath’s late-career renaissance, Shane O’Donnell’s return, and there’s Limerick/Cork to look forward to this weekend too.

We also reflect briefly on Louth’s thrilling Leinster football final win, Sam Mulroy’s heroics, and Murph getting abused by a celebrating Louth-man.

Dion Fanning and Rory Smith join us to talk about the weekend's football. Does the treatment of Trent reflect badly on Liverpool? And as Ruben Amorim aims another devastating broadside at his own club, how long do we think this project has left to run? pic.twitter.com/yaFNMWjHJA
