    On today's GAA pod, Oisín McConville made a point how Kerry fans had travelled in good numbers for the semi final. Murph then made a very sarcastic comment how Kerry fans should be praised for going to see one of the greatest players to play GAA.

    Not really sure why he felt the need to say it but made it him sound like a bit of a dick.

    Slightly bad form they gave no mention of Kildare's win. Thought it was a very enjoyable final

    Kerry supporters are known to be the biggest bunch of glory hunters in the sport. They won’t even turn up to home championship matches in Tralee or Killarney. They make Murph’s own county look like diehard supporters. And they’re the second biggest offenders.

    Very justified shot by Murph.

    The British South American football guy thinking Boca Juniors v Seattle Sounders might offer some alternate pole of world football to Europe is a hell of a take

    He's someone who lives under a bridge, I've gone back at him in the past, not worth your time.

    I really don't understand anyone who gets their kicks out of trying to wind up anonymous people online. Fair enough winding a mate up in person as you can at least see their reaction but random people that you don't know is just weird.

    Was that shíte at the end of the football podcast really all they’re going to do covering Katie becoming the undisputed GoAT, Jesus wept

    In relation to Trump's getting his face in all the celebration photos, I was surprised that they never thought of our own example:

    Eerily accurate.

    The more the years pass the more misguided Kimmage sounds in the audiobed talking about Roche. The degree to which people care about him being on PEDs is at odds with how many people fondly remember his win, and how many people in other sports have been as guilty of the same or worse and it’s easily brushed away. We had people cheering Jannik Sinner to the rafters while winning Wimbledon this very weekend, for christsake. That cycling at the time and, at minimum, decades afterwards was awash with drugs only reinforces that there isn’t much of an asterisk beside what Roche achieved.

    We all know Kimmage is full of sound and fury but equally we know it usually signifies very little.

    On the segement itself, the journalist they found is desperate to explain how shíte a cyclist Healy is in a way that’s almost Kimmagesque. Winning a stage and becoming only the fourth Irishman to ever hold the yellow jersey is a truly fantastic achievement.

    I suppose it's not really what they do (though Ken would surely have interesting takes on it), but it would've been interesting to have them discuss Scheffler's comments a bit more seriously, rather than make out that he's losing his mind or that it's completely daft what he said. Though I guess there's a fine line in that sort of a discussion and they could very easily veer into sounding daft themselves, so they probably preferred to stay distant from it. But I would've been interested to hear at least Ken talk more about it, or ideally as a Friday 'Politics' pod.

    There's not that much to say though. Scheffler had a bit of a monologue on a topic that a lot of new or relatively new parents can relate - work isn't the be all and end all. I think Scheffler is coming to terms with thr fact that golf isn't everything now, but equally - let him take a year off golf and spend it at home and see where his view on his balance is then. It doesn't need to be only golf, but it doesn't need to be only family either. It's just normal.
