The GAA Social

Quitting Derry, full-time job with Slaughtneil, no-more captain. Why? Standards- and belief Derry can win Sam Maguire.

In a revealing episode of the GAA social- Allstar and 2022 Ulster winning captain Chrissy McKaigue reveals he was going to walk away from the Derry squad- just weeks before a first championship title in almost a quarter of a century.

In a personal and brilliant episode of the podcast, McKaigue believes Derry are good enough to win an All-Ireland, his relationship with other club players, how that’s changed and relives 'that' point scored by Paddy McBrearty in 2021- dumping Derry out of the championship.

McKaigue is no longer the captain, he explains his feelings towards that decision. There’s Jim Gavin and the inside track on the real Mickey Moran. We dig into the real Rory Gallagher and what he’s really like behind the scenes. Perhaps not what you'd expect. It’s a fascinating insight.

Professionally, Chrissy has quit his job as a teacher and is now a full-time GPO for Slaughtneil. How did that come about? Who pays for it? It's a model that other clubs will develop.

Raw, deep and uncut. Chrissy McKaigue, like you've never heard him before, in the GAA Social with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville.
