James was unplayable for a period, great player. As a pundit and has mentioned Trone 3 times in 5 mins... mad we even count with the aristo's

Gambler's paradise here. Derry to give the All-Ireland a cut. Tyrone to be relegated. Go on James Donoghue boy!

Love the pod however A bit disappointed with your choice with absolutely no disrespect to James. Would have been great from an inclusion perspective to have a northern Gael on. James however appears to be a great guy, very likeable and personable
