Beyond The 45

Mugsy and Lee are BACK, and yes... your eyes do not deceive you. Lee is officially wearing a Tyrone jersey! After Mugsy’s home county took care of business against Mayo in the early rounds a couple of weeks back, Lee proved he’s a man of his word and followed through on the ultimate jersey bet.
Once the slagging settles, the lads dive straight into an absolute blockbuster weekend of GAA action, breaking down every single All-Ireland Senior Football Quarter-Final match in meticulous detail.
We kick things off with Mayo’s clinical second-half display to overpower Cork. We talk about Darragh Beirne's massive impact with those crucial two-pointers, Andy Moran's tactical shifts, and how Cork will rue their missed opportunities despite a fighting first half.
Then we move on to an absolute modern classic in Croke Park between Kerry and Tyrone. We break down David Clifford’s masterclass, Dylan Geaney’s brilliant Man of the Match performance, and Tyrone's heroic fightback led by Darren McCurry’s incredible 10 points off the bench, right before Armin Heinrich’s late goal sealed it for the Kingdom.
Next up is the historic drama between Louth and Monaghan, where Louth reached the last four for the first time since 1957. We analyze how Louth overcame an 8th-minute straight red card to Seán Callaghan, digging deep to weather Monaghan’s second-half goals and dominating the final minutes to seal a landmark win.
Finally, we unpack Dublin's sensational return to the top table after an incredible final-quarter comeback against Galway. We talk about John Maher's goal that put Galway six points clear, the game-changing black card for Liam Silke, Con O'Callaghan’s crucial penalty, and how Dublin ruthlessly used the extra man to book their semi-final spot.

From the iconic modern rivalries to the tactical masterminds who changed the game forever, nothing is off-limits.

We also break down Jim McGuinness’ revolutionary Donegal, Jack O'Connor's multiple eras of Kerry dominance, Joe Kernan’s powerhouse Armagh side, and Kieran McGeeney’s modern-day All-Ireland champions. Who takes the crown as the absolute best of the millennium so far? Hit play to find out!

Mugsy and Lee are BACK in the studio for a massive weekend in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship! With Owen Mulligan’s Tyrone hosting Lee Keegan’s Mayo, the rivalry is as fierce as ever. Both men are overwhelmingly confident of a positive result—so confident that they’ve locked in a brilliant forfeit for whoever finishes on the losing side.
In this episode, the lads take a trip down memory lane to discuss their past fiery encounters and what it’s really like playing in Tyrone vs Mayo blockbusters. Lee gives a masterclass tactical breakdown of Mayo’s leaky defence and how teams are adapting their defensive approaches to the GAA's new rules.
They don't hold back on the biggest talking points in Gaelic Football right now, tackling Dublin’s recent slump and slamming the "childish behaviour" from the capital following their media boycott after the Louth game. Plus, they dive into Donegal’s massive strength under Jim McGuinness, what on earth is going wrong with Derry, and their predictions for the weekend ahead.
