    Mugsy and Lee are BACK in the studio for a massive weekend in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship! With Owen Mulligan’s Tyrone hosting Lee Keegan’s Mayo, the rivalry is as fierce as ever. Both men are overwhelmingly confident of a positive result—so confident that they’ve locked in a brilliant forfeit for whoever finishes on the losing side.

    In this episode, the lads take a trip down memory lane to discuss their past fiery encounters and what it’s really like playing in Tyrone vs Mayo blockbusters. Lee gives a masterclass tactical breakdown of Mayo’s leaky defence and how teams are adapting their defensive approaches to the GAA's new rules.

    They don't hold back on the biggest talking points in Gaelic Football right now, tackling Dublin’s recent slump and slamming the "childish behaviour" from the capital following their media boycott after the Louth game. Plus, they dive into Donegal’s massive strength under Jim McGuinness, what on earth is going wrong with Derry, and their predictions for the weekend ahead.

    The provincial championships have been decided and there was no shortage of drama across the country this weekend. Lee Keegan and Owen ‘Mugsy’ Mulligan are back in the talkSPORT Ireland studio alongside Luke Delaney to dissect all the action.

    On this episode, the lads react to Dublin’s downfall in the Leinster final, the Rossies rising once again in Connacht, as well as Armagh finally getting over the line in the North (even if it pains Mugsy to admit it!).

    Lee and Mugsy also pick out their standout individual performers from the championship so far, with Armagh's Oisin Connaty a man who continues to impress the pair weekly.

    Expect the usual behind-the-curtain insight into life at the top level of the GAA, plenty of slagging, and proper football chat.

    Apr 29 2026

    This week on talkSPORT Ireland’s Beyond the 45’, Luke is joined by the lads to dive deep into the current state of officiating in the GAA. From the controversial level of refereeing to the radical idea of introducing two referees on the pitch (AFL style), no stone is left unturned.

    But it’s not all serious tactics—the boys take a trip down memory lane to recount the most legendary on-field fights from their playing days and the hilarious changing room pranks that stayed behind closed doors... until now. Plus, find out which brand deals were "total winners" and which ones they’d rather forget!
