Welcome back to the gift of the gab, it's the final. And we are here in Croke Park to go live for the all-arlin hurling final, 2022. The lawn has been mowed, the cup has gone to mass. That is the deposition of all-arlin final day. The contestants have come a long way through this competition and they're finally here at GAA HQ for an action-packed day of punditry. On the big screen, in the stands and in the studio. To guide them through today's events, we've enlisted none other than TV punditry legend Michael Lister. There are certain boxes that you want to take. Of course, you want to have strong opinions about the game. You just want people to be able to come on, express themselves and be able to stand over what they say, that you know that they know what they're talking about. This is the greatest moment of our pundit's lives. Look at them, like a boy band on a comeback tour, but with tighter pants and bigger eagles. Hold on to your hurlies. We're about to get opinionated. I am thrilled to be here, ladies and gentlemen, on this very special day, this flash of the Titans, but I'm also pleased to be here for another final. And that final is the Borgosh Energy Gift of the GAAB for 2022. The three finalists are here beside me. Shall we come to you first for the Kikene people here today? They're coming to a La La Final as the underdogs. Yes, Michael, highly unusual. I'm as well as interesting statistically, 16 hours last 20 pre-fair, but finalists have actually won, so it's not a great home and cardicats. Look, two great teams. I think maybe this Limerick team could cement our position with the 0708 team, Michael Kenny. There'd be the first county outside of TIP Carcourc, to get three in a row. I think it's Limerick for me all the way, Michael. The reason Limerick are going for three in a row is because of the physicality. You know, they've improved and asked for their meeting in Kikene today, and Kikene are not going to be showing that to property, or I can assure you that. All right, gentlemen, thank you for your thoughts on all of that. We are all looking forward to it. I'm sure that you are too. Enjoy the game. Move over, Marty. These lads are coming for your job. Thank you very much, thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. This way. The players are on the pitch, ready to play, and the lads are in their seats, ready to talk over each other for 70 minutes. Column lines towards the ball in, the 2022, our finalists underway. Undebench as well. Yeah, so Barring and Ash stays in as a free man. I mean, someone is staying out here, so that's what we're going to get their scores from the mid in today. She's going to get her own hair going down, it is magic again. Column number two. He's happy enough to go on, I want to. You're two options. You bring Richard Reed back to the age of the D, who's Limitman in the middle. Like I mean, all the tournaments are coming down there, so they'll have to pop an over tree and bass to work the play. Like there's enough numbers down there, if you'll get to fight over it. Yeah. Overcharge Teddy Digon. The locking gale's back, sending it high. And it has the opposite. Very good score. John clearly needs to invest in a pair of bifocus. Thank God they don't have him on Hawkeye. How are they like? They're white. 100 years, first, Teddy. Fabulous. Numeric introducing David Wady, not surprising. I bring on Deer's Rock Hand, they're like, they're in. They're making him back, they're like, careful what you wish for Shane. I was bird from all sports events for 15 years, for Strykon at the handball final of 97. Unmarked as good old Heggardy looks in the rear of your mirror. Has a look around to see if anybody is at home down in good getting. You know what I mean? I'm lucky. If a man gets attention now, Richard's on the break. If he goes back further, he's out with a game. You have to be fierce, clever, in a way, if made it to be. Richie Holden has been introduced. Oh, this is my prediction. I said, Richard, the comment is all swimming from the past. We're going past the 74 minutes. All eyes are unrefleated. You know that? The referee has lost the whole time, we're so... Lindrich and the O'Rallon Chappens. The game ends and it's time for the big moment. We are going live. As is tradition, the lads will engage in the sacred ceremony of the pre-analysis shirt took, which is said to bring good fortune upon a live broadcast. A great day to be in Kroak Park. No doubt about that. To watch this hard and final that we've seen this year, and at the end of it, a historic result with Lindrich of course, winning that three-in-a-row. What a fabulous day. But let's talk about this game we've just seen. What a game of hearted. The game'smanship. They never say they added to the board teams right to the end. I mean, two points. They're going to have regrets, but at the end of the day, they're outing the best team. One of the best lads I've seen. And I think we needed a good lardland. I knew Kylkini would test them today. It was an absolute cracking game. Kylkini took them to the wire and you know, they brought them down to two points. Kylkini showed up. Massive got massive determination, but the better team did win. If you look back at 07-08, the Kylkini team did a bit of water. I think this Lindrich team is up there. As we wanted the best teams that have come true in the last couple of decades. And that's saying a lot now. Let's walk through this match, John. Lindrich won a lot of torn overs. They used the ball to smatter. Lindrich were awesome in the tackle. Awesome in the middle age. The ball going to the full far limb was awesome. Heager team was absolutely awesome in that first half. And everything was going to plan for Lindrich, but it was such a surprise that there were only four up at half time. I think that's the biggest achievement probably today for Brian. He didn't have the stars of John New Year's gone boy, but he still gets that team up to 11. If you were a sponge, you just have to soak everything. Brian Cody says, if they won today, it'd be the first ever team to win an all-around with two defeats with the new system. There's two big points. He made their famous. One tortine came from that half-hour. One tortine in Lindrich's heart. I mean, that is phenomenal. And when Dermabones, I've spoke about him all year, I just rave about him. He put one over there from, I think, was about 110 yards. Yeah, that's awesome. To have something like that in your armory, even if you're forward, it's hand go well to chip in with four or five points. It's the modern game. We're not mentioning John Curley and Paul Kinnerky, maybe we touched on it. Phenonable management. Like how many yards did he have today? You know, it's Phenonable. And they just want to win and they want more and more. That goal from Lindrich, Gary Allen, the game, that's one of the best goals I've seen in the drop-back. Oh, that's Phenonable. A lawyer, honestly, thought he was going to put off the ball. He was arrowing the game. Take a point, you know? Bang into the top corner, you know, super. It was probably the best goal I've ever seen in person. Let alone in Crow Park. For you, Shane, man of the match. I'm going to take Kyle Hairs. I will say I have to give a mention to Mike Casey. I thought he's reading it again. And his body, check, and imposition was top-class as well. I'm going for a heaglety. Okay, especially the goal. The first half, you know, he got great points. And he was shooting with so much confidence. Shemus? Hey, Darmaburns. He's your favorite. He is my soccer. I have a soft spot from, you know. The lads have been rambling on for so long that the stadium officials have had to intervene. Put Darnier. Well, gentlemen, I have to say it's been lovely to talk to you and to have the debate with our scene-fellets hitting each other over the head with programs and all the rest. We'll wait a little. The show comes to an end, and the pondits have proven their abilities on their first live broadcast. I'm like a proud mami. The next announcement will be for Grasforger with your shot up the wall. This is what the pondits have been fighting for, a stunning 24-carage lump of solid plastic. Okay, the time has come to announce the winner. Honestly, the three of you have been phenomenal in the last few weeks, but especially today. And I think we all agree that any one of these guys would easily fit into any ponditry panel on television with a name icon. I've watched them over the last couple of weeks, so I was kind of familiar with them before coming here today. But then watching them up close and particularly during the match and their banter and chat and analysis of the game, I was really impressed with that, and I really enjoyed it. So making the decision to pick a winner is always kind of difficult, and now we go like this. But guess what? We've picked a winner. I actually feel incredibly sick. It's impossible to pick a winner from the three, but the judges have made a decision. And so we're not going to delay any further the winner of the board, Gosh Energy Gift of the Gap 2022 is... Shameless. Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Well done, well done. Well done, well done. Well done, John. Congratulations. Shameless. Congratulations. You have the gift of the Gap. How does it feel? The motor was fully right. She said it sounds like the Arabs for years, so no, it's amazing. I feel especially with the two lads here. The competition, the whole way through everyone we've met, the crew was just... It's an honor, absolute honor. To be with this man, I was only saying it to me rather earlier. I said, it's weird. I'm seeing him in person. It's not to TV, so it's just... It's been a blast. It's... I just can't believe it. Listen, congratulations. You are a worthy winner and John and Shayne, you are exceptionally brilliant also. Congratulations to the three of you. Fantastic. Well done. A water for a man finally wins something called Caracal. So that's it. It's all over. Can you believe it? Another hurling championship has come to an end. And so has our search for Ireland's next top fund. Just shameless was our champion. I'm sure you're going to see loads more of him in the future. If you don't see more of me, I'm out of the job. Thank you for joining us on The Gift of the Gap.
