On the day the great Joe Canning retired from intercounty hurling, we have an emergency two part special of GAA Embedded today to talk about perhaps the best hurler of his generation and one of the best of all time.  In Part Two, we're joined by our regular hurling analyst Shane McGrath, a former housemate of Canning, and by Galway's own Michael Lyster, the Sunday Game legend who represented the entire county in 2017 when the RTE cameras caught his celebration for Joe's famous semi-final point against Tipperary.   Check out our channel for Pt. 1 with Maurice Brosnan.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.

GAA Embedded - The Joe Canning Legacy Pt. 2, With Michael Lyster & Shane McGrath

On the day the great Joe Canning retired from intercounty hurling, we have an emergency two part special of GAA Embedded today to talk about perhaps the best hurler of his generation and one of the best of all time.  First we talk to our regular GAA analyst, and a Galway fan who's grown up with Joe Canning on his team, Maurice Brosnan to discuss Joe's legacy, and his favourite memories of the man who dominated Galway hurling for 14 years.  Check out our channel for Pt. 2 with Shane McGrath and Michael Lyster.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.

GAA Embedded - The Joe Canning Legacy Pt. 1, With Maurice Brosnan

GAA Embdeded is our new weekly GAA show on Balls.ie. Every Monday for the Championship summer, Tipperary's Shane McGrath and Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan will be our guides through the hurling and football championships. We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more.  This week, Darran talks about a Cork team that might need to tear is all up after the second worst Munster final defeat of all time, and the worst in 102 years! Did Kerry get anything out of it? Why do Galway continue to flatter to deceive? And how Mayo have quietly reinvented themselves.  Shane then joins us to discuss Cork and Waterford advancing in the hurling qualifiers. What has happened to Galway? Will Clare be back?  We also look at the greatest jersey sponsors of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.

GAA Embedded - Kerry And Mayo Markers, Galway's Disastrous Weekend, With Darran O'Sullivan & Shane McGrath

GAA Embdeded is our new weekly GAA show on Balls.ie. Every Monday for the Championship summer, Tipperary's Shane McGrath and Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan will be our guides through the hurling and football championships. We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more.  This week, Shane (0.58) looks back on an enthralling Munster Hurling Final, with Limerick securing three in a row thanks a second half blitz the likes of which we've rarely seen. Can anybody get in their way at that form? Maybe Kilkenny? Given the horrendous personnel issues in the Dublin camp, it's hard to know much about where The Cats are right now. Or maybe a challenger will emerge from the qualifiers. Shane is very impressed with Clare after their big win in the stifling heat of Thurles on Saturday afternoon.  Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game (40.06) with reaction to Dublin footballers' looking vulnerable against Meath, and a stunning weekend of Ulster football. Hee also takes us through his Embedded article from last week Tyrone's more positive approach paying dividends.  We also look at the greatest GAA moustaches of all time (1.12.55) and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps (1.14.52) for next weekend's games.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.

GAA Embedded - Can Limerick Be Stopped? With Shane McGrath

GAA Embdeded is our new weekly GAA show on Balls.ie. Every Monday for the Championship summer, Tipperary's Shane McGrath and Kerry's Darran O'Sullivan will be our guides through the hurling and football championships. We'll also have special guests, tactical breakdowns, and much, much more.  This week, Darran looks back on the game of the Championship so far as Donegal just outlasted local rivals Derry after an almighty scare. We talk about the weekend's "soft" red cards and how they are maybe not soft at all. As Kerry and Mayo march on, we also discuss the drab situation of seeing Leitrim beaten so comprehensively on live television.  Maurice Brosnan then brings us Inside The Game with reaction to the Hurling Qualifiers draw, Laois' hurling bounceback, why structures alone won't solve GAA inequality, and he also takes us through his Embedded article from last week on a Dublin cliché we shouldn't so easily dismiss.  We also look at the greatest hurling helmets of all time and PJ and Gary battle it out to guess the handicaps for next weekend's games.  You can get in touch with the show on social media or by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie.
