    Sounds of the Summer: The Kerry perspective, and where did it all go wrong? | Darran O'Sullivan

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next. In this episode, former All-Ireland winner Darran O’Sullivan joins Eoin Sheahan in the aftermath of Kerry’s All-Ireland final defeat to Mayo, to dig into why the Kingdom looked flat when it mattered most. From the impact of the condensed calendar and the lack of training time, to injuries, selection calls, and how Mayo’s bravery and tactical plan exposed Kerry’s slower, choreographed approach, O’Sullivan gives a frank view from inside Kerry — and pushes back on the idea that club football is the real problem.

    Sounds of the Summer: Polishing the 'new' rules and what comes next? | Kevin McStay

    Welcome back to Sounds of the Summer, as we look back on the biggest GAA stories of a sensational summer — and look ahead to what comes next for Gaelic football. In this episode, Eoin Sheahan is joined by former Roscommon and Mayo manager Kevin McStay, now heading up the Gaelic football expert advisory group tasked with monitoring the impact of the Football Review Committee’s work. McStay explains how the group is using match footage and data to “polish” the new rules, from the hooter/clock rollout and anomalies around scoring, to a possible four-point goal, a backcourt rule to curb lateral play, and what referee assistance could realistically look like without turning football into VAR.

    Sounds of the Summer: The sorry state of Antrim hurling | Terence McNaughton

    Terence McNaughton joined Off The Ball Breakfast back in February to give a brutally honest assessment of where Antrim hurling is at under Davy Fitzgerald, after a worrying run of league form and that loss to Kildare.

And it goes beyond the senior team: McNaughton lays out what he sees as the real problem in Belfast and Ulster hurling, from schools links to structures, funding, and why “throwing good money after bad” won’t fix foundations.
