Philly McMahon joins Sinéad Kissane and Conor McKeon on this week’s Throw-In to look back on the main football league action and with the Dubs fourth loss in a row the big talking point.

It’s too easy and too lazy to blame the manager or the players he tells Sinéad when trying to explain the Dubs’ defeat to Kildare.

“It's complex, it's a collective shift of mindset that's needed right now. I think there has to be a spin off of you know this is what you've been fed in terms of information from outside that's impacted on the pitch, so what I'm saying basically is in a nutshell, the players are performing what they are thinking, right? You essentially are what you think.”

The panel also discuss the other Division 1 games including Mayo and Kerry leading the charge while, looking ahead to the Dubs’ next game against Tyrone, it’s a battle, says Philly that he would have relished and should be a challenge to excite the players.

Meanwhile, John Mullane was on the show to look back on the weekend hurling action and he’s excited by the performance put in by Cork with their defeat of Limerick.

“It's the first time I really thought to myself, Cork, back when Ó'hAilpín and Gardiner, the Rock, that team we came up against, it was the first time I said to myself this Cork team really mean business. They've been knocking on the door the last couple of years, they got to the All-Ireland final last year, but if you're a Cork supporter waking up this morning, you'd be some way excited of what you seen yesterday and I thought they were magnificent.”

Plus, Mullane and McKeon discuss Dublin’s victory over Tipp giving manager, Mattie Kenny, a level of consistency he’s been looking for from his team, while Wexford are also coming in under the radar with three wins from three.
