We all knew it was coming, but since Conor McManus retired the question has bubbled- who is the greatest Monaghan footballer? "Well I'd say Conor is greatest Monaghan finisher" it sets the tone of this brilliant insight into the great Nudie Hughes. He's a mural on the gable of the house he was reared, one of 14. All of them still living. Ulster championships, All-stars (in defence and attack) and an icon in Monaghan. In 2018 he was diagnosed with cancer- this week he begins a new treatment after a setback. There's no negativity here though, none. The positive mindset is authentic and real. Moving forward and living his best life. This is the life and times of the great Nudie Hughes (perhaps one of the two greatest footballers to play in Blue and white)

Michael Murphy returns (so does David Clifford) it's all happening on the GAA Social. Does Oisin struggle to take off the orange tinted glasses?

In February 2024, Tyrone were at home to Mickey Harte's Derry. It was a hugely significant game, for many reasons. Feargal Logan got up that morning, excited and ready for action. It was a big day. Until, he collapsed at the top of the stairs. The future was uncertain and he hasn't worked since. Feargal has thankfully recovered and on the 1 year anniversary of his stroke, he looks great and in superb form. Gratitude is his word at present. He's lost friends this year, good friends and many of them of a similar age. His age, Teammates. We reflect on Tyrone winning Sam Maguire in 2021, the covid controversy, fronting up on RTE and the late great Art McRory. Is a return to management something Feragal Logan would consider? Can you work full-time and give enough to inter-county management? Laughs, depth, two games against Kerry that defined a season and a wonderful man who's devoted a life to football, but considers himself to be the lucky one. The great Feargal Logan with Thomas & Oisin on the GAA Social

The GAA Social and all that's in it

This is the fascinating story of Jude McAtamney. From a talented footballing family in Swatragh, Co Derry, Jude played for inter-county U20 for three years- destined for senior football. Then covid hit and the beginning of a remarkable journey. Jude decided he wanted to become a kicker in the NFL. That journey brought him to Serbia, North Carolina, Australia, Rutgers before eventually signing for the New York Giants. When the Washington Commanders came to town, Jude got his chance and took it, nailing all of his kicks. It's a journey of ups and downs, doubts, sliding doors, all before finally making it in the NFL. There's more to come too. On Super Bowl week, this is the brilliant Jude McAtamney

Thomas & Oisin round-up the drama of week two. Bad flight home from London

Oliver McVeigh is known across the land. More than 40 years in sports photography and likely to turn up at any GAA event. The legendry 'Season of Sundays' annual is filled with his craft throughout the years. In this podcast, Oliver picks his favourite photos and explains why. Mugsy's arse, Henry Shefflin, the photo that led to the biggest ban in rugby and then there's the changing room shot. Joy that looks like sorrow. Halfway through, this podcast takes a different turn. Columba McVeigh is one of the 'disappeared' killed and secretly buried by the IRA. Columba, is the brother of Oliver. New year brings new hope and in the past few weeks, a significant new development. A lifelong promise to his mother and a determination to bring his brother home. This is the story of Oliver McVeigh. A brilliant podcast.

New rules, big omissions in playing squads (Dublin and Armagh specifically) and all the reaction to the opening weekend of the Allianz leagues

The GAA Social is back and we have perhaps the greatest manager of all time. Jim Gavin. New year, new rules and the FRC chairman himself, to discuss how it all came about. Recorded in front of a live audience

For this year- he's the best. Paul Conroy is thriving in midfield and believes Galway are good enought to win Sam Maguire. This podcast is packed with insights into the mindset of one of the top performers in modern day Gaelic football. Breaking his leg against Sean O'Shea, his annoyance when people pick on teachers and what's next in 2025. One of the genuine great guys in Gaelic Games.
