Poitín for dogs, cows and Gaelic football. The launch of Starship Gavin & the alcoholic Alsatian

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning

Jan 28 2025 • 47 mins

What does giving poitín to a cow who has just calved have to do with the new rules in Gaelic football? On Free State today, Joe explains how Jim Gavin’s plans will allow Gaelic football to embrace chaos again. A game that has been coached to the brink of extinction will be reborn by a return of the skills that made people love it in the first place. Dion wonders if you can ever go back, but also offers some tactical tips to conceal his ignorance. Joe explains why the coaches who have driven risk from the game will be the ones who are punished and why original thinkers will triumph. And they wonder if the priest with the alcoholic Alsatian who could hold his drink might also have something to offer the Football Review Committee.


Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
