The GAA Social is the best by a country mile. IMO.

Replying To peiledoir20: "The GAA Social is the best by a country mile. IMO." Absolutely 100%. Great guests and discussion. Not mad on Tomas O'Se's podcast... very hit & miss I think.

The sideline view had lee Keegan on it today. Square d is on twitter after games they break down tactics and stats. It's very good

Off the ball hurling and football pods are very good I think..most of the guests actually speak their mind and don't seem to worry about offending..

Replying To 3rdmidfielder: "Tommy Rooney is hard too listen to. Paddy Andrews and James O'D know there stuff but it's all a bit a like a league of their own with all the forced banter. I wouldn't dream of paying for it." Disagree forced banter I don't agree it at all . All are good on it not forced in my opinion

Square D should be interesting. The shot map and what kind of pressure the shot taker was under is what I will be tuning in for. Davy burke said Roscommon and Kerry had the same issues so maybe Armagh are putting the shooters under more pressure then other teams.

The football pod with P Andrews & J O'D gave an excellent anslyses of the AI final. Contrast this with D Clerkin & C McKeon's - clueless & insulting IMO.

The RTÉ GAA podcast is normally interesting but a very annoying feature is its bias towards the top teams and its complete disregard for the other teams and levels. This manifests itself during the league with an almost complete focus on Division 1 football and Division 1A in hurling. There is the rare token mention of Division 2 football and Division 1B hurling but that's it. The lower divisions (particularly in hurling) might as well not be there.
It's the same now in championship with this week's episode really taking the biscuit. Jacqui Hurley's opening statement was that there was no hurling this weekend. This is so blinkered with absolutely no regard for the fact that there are three national finals on (Ring, Rackard and Meagher Cup finals) - again it's as it they didn't exist.
The football coverage that followed didn't even cover all the Sam Maguire games - no analysis at all of Louth v Down; Monaghan v Clare or Meath v Roscommon. And, needless to say, the Tailteann Cup wasn't even referred to and rarely is.

I think it would improve if it had another hurler or footballer or journalist on there. I like the Indo GAA pod with Michael Verney, Dick Clerkin and Pat Spillane.

Its GAA first but bejng a fan of more than just GAA i tend to lean towards multi sport podcasts.
Can't stand off the ball podcasts, the sneary attitude of the presenters with anyone or any article they disagree with never moreso that when anyone thought that Stephen Kenny wasn't all that. Never listen to them but I did stumble across a discussion lately on the move towards summer soccer as it is an issue down here in wexford in particular, just said I'd gave a listen to see what the discussion might be which was basically again here's a guest who thinks it's brilliant, no actual discussion and again snear at anyone who doesn't think it's brilliant.
I subscribe to seconds captains. Mc Conville is very good on the football, Flynn is ok but stays in RTE Sunday game mode too much, Mc Manus has been decent too. On the hurling side Jamie Wall is very good albeit a bit too preachy sometimes and they've recently brought on board Liam Rushe who's been excellent, really good analyst of games and not afraid to call it and seems to have a proper understanding of the modern game, he spoke recently about going to kildare around 10 years ago to do some coaching with underage teams down there and how even then they were operating at a proper high level which he didn't expect. Malachy Clerkin is a regular contributor and excellent.
The GAA social is top class, really good particularly the interviews, Thomas Niblock is a very good presenter, the Jody Gormley interview stands out and really enjoyed the chat with Jimmy Barry Murphy recently.
There's a new hurling podcast out called beyond the 65 with Conor Mc Donald and Bubbles O Dwyer which is actually really enjoyable, it's very light hearted, no deep analysis or anything but bubbles is a real character and it comes across in the episodes, definitely worth a listen.
