LISTEN: The GAA Hour chats to Stephen Rochford ahead of the All-Ireland final

We also argue about the worth of Lee Keegan

SportsJOE

We are almost there.

This All-Ireland final has provoked many thing – unprecedented demand for tickets, an influx of immigrants, an unhealthy level of Dublin confidence, an even unhealthier level of Mayo optimism.

The time for talking is nearly over. The time for talking is almost done.

Almost.

Before Sunday if you are going to listen to one preview of the All-Ireland final make it this one.

We have an exclusive interview with Mayo’s rookie manager Stephen Rochford, who gives an insight into the pressure he came under in his first year.

SportsJOE GAA editor Colm Parkinson is joined in the studio by Conan Doherty and former Dublin utility man Barry Cahill, who reveals the lengths Dublin went to in their preparation for the 2011 final.

There is a healthy debate on the true value of Lee Keegan and the glory of Dean Rock.
