Episode 1317: Martin O’Neill And The Art Of Persuasion, How Basketball Coaching Influences Gaelic Football, All Blacks In A Pub, UFO Update
Ireland play Northern Ireland in the Aviva this week, and since it’s a friendly we will be greeted with the sight of Glenn Whelan on his international swan-song, and perhaps Michael Obafemi, who is still apparently unsure as to whether he can commit his international future to us. Or is he sure? Ken Reports!!
Martin O’Neill: I have spoken to him (Obafemi). He has enjoyed the training and has done really well. He has settled in nicely. I won’t be rushing him into making a decision. #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/WO5w4gdNc8

James Weldon has just been named as head coach of the Irish women’s basketball national team, but he also spent 2018 working in Eamon Fitzmaurice’s Kerry football back-room team, and he’s in studio to talk to us about how basketball is now influencing Gaelic football at every level and what rule changes in basketball could also help make football more entertaining.
