Replying To Gaillimh_ar_dtús:  "Give Cyril Farrell a mic and I'll listen to him talk all day, no bother... But does anyone know why GBFM has a dedicated "Hurling Chat" but no big-ball equivalent? One of my more minor bugbears when it comes to their treatment of our football.

For what it's worth, I'm grateful for the Maroon & White Pod. It took me a while to get into it... and it still drives me soft from time to time when you can't hear what the guests are saying... but there's a decent mix of guests. The odd one is controversial, but that's no harm. I don't want to agree with everything everyone has to say.

I don't know Paul Shaughnessy from Adam, but I find him very even-handed as a podcast host. And it's never about himself. He strikes me as a genuine servant to Galway GAA. From the football side especially, it says something that this level of coverage is coming from one man's own initiative rather than from a local broadcaster.

Gaillimh abú."
A genuine guy whos improving as time goes on. He started that as a teen essentially with no equipment. Took me awhile to get into too. Some great guests but could do with leaving Barry Cullinane to focus on the Cork GAA scene.

A good lad who gives great coverage to be fair to him.

Replying To Kickitout:  "A strong rumour cian o Neill going join the cork hurling backroom team I know it's kind like silly season at moment. With all rumours just said I'd throw that one out there , I don't think I'd take him back he was on the management team that lost to Armagh in a brutal performance not pushing up on kickouts until it was 2 late last 5 mins ,under old rules he got away with it but as I've stated numerous times unless Galway get 2 new goalies a complete new half back line with pace and who actually kick ball into forwards not solo up field and give 2 yard hand pass to a player who is already marked , Galway need drop off panel that includes extended panel at least 8 if not more there are lads there for 3/4 years and getting virtual no games big shake up need in dugout and playing personnel"
Who would you try for these spots?
