John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney engage in a wide-ranging chat around on-pitch form and off-field issues hitting some fans.

On the field, Cork were a little sloppy against an Offaly team that have a bright future, as John believes the Faithful men have showed enough to challenge Leinster counties next season.

Meanwhile, confusion reigns around the scheduling of All-Ireland quarter-finals as Wexford’s game could be in an inconvenient spot - Eddie asks if broadcasters are prioritising events with no Irish interest over our own national games.

Plus - memory time, as Michael recalls when John played so well against him it took Verney years to get over it!
