What were the highlights of the All-Ireland quarterfinal draw?
So much sport of the weekend and Mick McCarthy is here from off the ball to go through it. We're going to start with Gaelic games. So we had the All-Ireland quarterfinal draw this morning. What does that throw up?
Some interesting ties, Clare. Some interesting ties. So we had, obviously, Kerry disposed of Armagh and their reward for this is to face their other old enemy from Ulster in Tyrone. No let up. No let up. So they played in the semi-final last year. Kerry, you know, continuing their path from last year of going Armagh, then Tyrone. So that'll be a very, very interesting one.
What surprising events occurred in the Gaelic games this weekend?
All the games will be in Croke Park this weekend, too, on Saturday, too, on Sunday. We'll find out later on today which ones they'll be. But you'd imagine that will headline one of the and Galway versus Dublin will highlight the other one I think Dublin surprised a few they did couldn't you I think I think me yeah exactly I think Leinster hammering the Bulls was your call last Friday that I promised a close game and was completely wrong so we're in the wrong chairs here but now Dublin did surprise a lot extra time win over Donegal they should have done it in 70 minutes they did it over
Oh, I've just been given some breaking news. I don't know now, did you see this about Leo Cullen stepping down as Leinster head coach at the end of next season? Make it news to all of us. So that's just come in in the last couple of minutes. I mean, that is a surprise. That's a surprise, isn't it?
Absolutely. Yeah, I think so. I mean, it was probably a nice way to win. They were very, very good on Friday night. But I mean, Leo's been bullish, you know, and it was like there was actual criticism and then a lot of, I thought, perceived criticism by him that he was fighting back against over the last month or two since they lost the Champions Cup final to Bordeaux. But yeah, I'm really surprised by this news, I have to say.
How did the Dublin vs. Clare match impact the semi-final lineup?
I interrupted your flow there. as you were going through the All-Ireland quarterfinal draw but that has just come to us that Theo Cullen is going to step down as Leinster head coach at the end of next season so he's doing one more year okay come back then to Cork and Offaly do you know what it was all in the house and I just said can you just switch that off I couldn't look at it
Yeah, you know, it's a strange... Great for Cork, but I hate to see a team being demolished in that way. Yeah, and I'd be from a Hurling household and a Hurling family. And, like, you know, my dad was over yesterday and we were watching the match. And, you know, after a few minutes, we were like, will we put on the Westmead-Monaghan game? And it wouldn't be football first, but it just became difficult to watch. And that can happen over time. And I think once you step away from it, I think Offaly will be in a place where they will, like, you know, they... They lived with them in the second half. They were in a situation where they wouldn't have expected to be at this stage yet in their development. They're only back up into the Liam McCarthy for the last two years.
So I think, you know, looking back, it'll all be fine. But in the moment, as you say yourself, there's just something that feels like they're almost playing two different sports. And that was the concern going into it, that Cork would just be at a completely different level of speed, accuracy, everything. And it just proved to be the case. It was over after 10 minutes.
And you were at the Dublin Clare match, were you?
I was, yeah, yeah. Where Clare won easily enough, I suppose, in the end. They had a couple of scares in the middle, but the real issue there was David Reedy declared hurler with a couple of minutes to go. Basically got knocked out by a high challenge from a Dublin player. it was one of the scariest things I've ever seen on a pitch yeah I've never seen the air go out of a stadium like it I saw the like panic among the medics and you know they all did such an amazing job but the game was stopped for 10-15 minutes he went to hospital but we heard the good news yesterday that he was released and doing well and he was only kept overnight for precaution so I think it was one of those ones that hopefully we'll see how it turns out but that in the moment I you know again just never felt anything like it in the stadium the sort of
