What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an Irish Independent Podcast. It's a case of who's going to get this next ball. It's Kevin Quinn. The goalkeeper's out. It's there. Another point scored by Kevin Quinn. And Wicklow are about to be crowned.
How did Wicklow complete a 13-point comeback to win the Tailteann Cup?
Taunton Cup champions. A brilliant job done by Oshie McConville and his men. They've won by four. This has been the most amazing game of football at Croke Park. Wicklow deserved winners. They were brave. They were committed. They've shown what talent they've got. And once again, down faded out big time. That is one of the most incredible games I've ever seen. Not even a million years did I expect that at halftime. I don't think anybody did. But the resilience they've shown all year has been just enjoyed again and again in the final. I don't know what that will do for the kids and the next generation of Wig Club people. They have seen their heroes lift a national title. They would have seen you be on Ireland 92 and Tommy Murphy in 2007.
But this is on a different level. The profile of GAA has skyrocketed. This means everything to Wig Club. When they dreamed up the Tilton Cup, they dreamed of this one. A crowd falling over their seats, shouting that hard. A team running faster, fighting harder, and they're standing taller because they're being pushed on by that Wicklow roar behind them. A stalwart believing when Dean... Healy picked up that ball 60 metres out from goal. He didn't see an entire defence in front of him. He didn't see four men who'd personally tried to stop him. No, no, no. He just saw his county in need. And Dean Healy answered his county's call. 13 points back. Red hot favourites thinking they're at a canter here and they shouldn't even be at this level anyway.
We're cruising back into San Maguire, another county... Might have stayed on the ground, but not this county, not Wicklow. Oshie McGrainer stood up, Porrick O'Toole jumped up and Kevin Quinn was flying already. And Blue and Yellow all over Croke Park, floating with them, running mulling. What a day. I mean, a manager from Armagh bouncing up and down the sidelines, players screaming, supporters crying. The first Division 4 team to win the Taltan Cup and the greatest Taltan Cup victory of them all. And this was Wicklow's greatest football day, if you're not from Balton Glass.
how do you follow that some unbelievable stuff ah it was amazing wasn't it like the absolute abandon they played with in the second half the scenes at the end were unbelievable like I knew in advance like the ticket frenzy for that match was or that day rather was well chronicled and I knew there'd be a big Wicklow turnout and I was kind of like oh hopefully they give it a rattle to like so the fans go happy like I really did think then we're going to win it handily and oh it's sensational and just one last point on on mushy mcconville can we talk about our math for a second no um great he invented a new genre as i was saying earlier of like nice serene reaction to the full-time hooter you know took his earpiece out went over and shook hands with very respectful with conor laverty and co and
Then lost the plot. He was giving it loads to the Hogan stand, maybe the press box, giving it to them.
He was amazing. Will Slattery, even as a true blue, you must have been moved by those scenes. There were two Ireland semi-finals as well this weekend. I was just going to ask how do we feel about this?
I was like, what's going on here? No one was more moved than I as the Wicklow win at the weekend. I take my hat off to them. My God, I feel like this is... Is the lead being buried slightly over the course of the weekend?
I've got some Dublin grievances to talk about here.
No, we don't need to go straight into penalty calls and square balls and whatnot.
Do you know why I deliberately didn't bring this up? This was my plan all along to start with Wicklow because I thought you would both talk me out of it at the desk. Oh, I 100% would.
You started at Bits and Bobs a few weeks ago by talking about the Longford versus Down, was it? Yeah, I didn't mean to do that.
