  • Football: Mayo find a new way to lose; Ger Brennan Manager of the Year?

    Football: Mayo find a new way to lose; Ger Brennan Manager of the Year?
    Jun 25 2024
    Frank Roche and Dick Clerkin joined Will Slattery in the wake of an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final round that saw Mayo crash out, Roscommon surprise and Louth make history. Dick breaks down what he sees as Mayo’s true undoing - not scoring enough before half-time, and he believes that the county can’t have too many complaints after a disappointing end to their season on penalties. Frank witnessed Roscommon shock Tyrone at the weekend, and he recounts why their first half was one of the finest displays in county history as Tyrone joined Mayo in the exit pile. Meanwhile, Derry could be Kerry’s undoing, the lads aren’t betting much on Armagh, and is Louth boss Ger Brennan worthy of winning Manager of the Year?

The lads also break down the impact of Clare's time off after their Munster final defeat. Plus - we rank the four semi-finalists.
