It's another Sunday night Three Man Weave. Maurice is back from Croke Park to join Mick and Mark and discuss a thrilling game of football. 

A penalty and a sending off. 

A brilliant display of tackling and fielding.

Kerry super subs! 

Did Kerry leave it behind them? 

Jack McCaffrey's astonishing talent. 

Stephen Cluxton's dominance. 

An epic minor final. 

Today really had it all. We talk about the whole lot about it.

Will it be five-in-a-row or "Kerry's greatest All-Ireland"? 

Maurice delves deep into the tactics bin to examine what Kerry need to do to disrupt Dublin's gameplan and have a chance of making history? 

We look at the likely match-ups, and argue of whether Tommy Walsh should start the game? 

Also, will Jim Gavin have his own trick up his sleeve? 

Gary also puts Maurice and Mick through their paces with an All-Ireland final quiz the two lads don't come out of too well!

Introducing The Balls.ie Football Show, our newly weekly podcast coming to you every Monday throughout the season. 

On this week's episode, Sean gives us his Premier League match verdicts, which includes a disagreement over whether Arsenal's approach to the Liverpool game was the right one, our hatred for Mauricio Pochettino and Sean's theory on David De Gea.

We also pick our Scoundrel of the Week, while Gary rounds up the stand-out talking points with regard to Irish players across the leagues. Finally, Mark pits Gary and Sean against each other in The Balls.ie Football Show Quiz. This week it's the 'Who cost more?' challenge.

The Buildup is our new weekly podcast, with Ladbrokes, where we preview all the major sporting action for the weekend ahead. We'll be building the hype, whetting the appetite and making some bold predictions for everything that's happening.

Regular rugby correspondent, Ireland and Ulster legend Stephen Ferris looks ahead to Ireland's visit to Twickenham this weekend, and talks about the value of World Cup warm-up games and how Irish players on the cusp of the squad need to seriously up the intensity in this game. (7.40)

After some serious success in our week 1 picks, we kept pace last week, thanks mainly to some shrewd golf selections in the BMW Championship. We try to replicate that with the Tour Championship this week, definitely not the most confusing competition in sport! (56.44)

Mick, Mark and Sean also make their Ladbrokes 1-2-FREE picks for this week (20.03), and the lads try to see if they can give Arsenal any chance at Anfield on Saturday, as well as looking at the entire football weekend. (34.49)

We "Get Hyped" for the All-Ireland Ladies' Football semi-finals (26.47), while Sean makes his "Big Shout" debut with a tantalising football double. (60.47)

Ahead of its Irish cinema release on August 30th, The Rewind - Balls.ie’s pop culture wing - previews "The Informer." The crime thriller stars the likes of Joel Kinnaman, Rosamund Pike and Common, and on today's podcast we fill you in on everything you need to know before you go to see it.

Mick, Mark and PJ were in studio straight after the All-Ireland hurling final to reflect on Tipperary's resounding victory. With the final whistle barely blown, the lads got together to share their thoughts on the game, Richie Hogan's sending off and the quality of this year's championship overall. 

We also pick our final Rolling All-Stars team and give our picks for hurler of the year. Be sure to subscribe on your favourite podcast app, rate and review the show, and tweet the show @ballsdotie.

It's All-Ireland final week! 

Maurice, Mick and Gary take you through all the reasons to be excited ahead of another Kilkenny and Tipperary final. We look back at the brilliant finals over the past decade from these two, have an in depth look at the managers, some of the players involved and they assess the potential matchups on Sunday. 

Gary will also then host a special All-Ireland final quiz between Maurice and Mick. Think you can do better than the two lads? You're probably right!

We also talk to Wexford star Conor McDonald to get his take on the final, the despair of losing the semi-final in such a manner and how tough it is to even watch a final you're not involved in.

The lads also make their picks for the game. Could we have another day out this summer yet?
