Episode 1828: Bale’s Dream, Old Liars, FAI Rebellion, Arsenal’s Compassion, Newcastle’s Pain
Ahead of the return of the Champions League, Eoin has a dream about Gareth Bale while Ken ponders Bale’s career drift at Madrid and why old people wouild ever need to lie.
Tomorrow is EGM day at the FAI – but it’s by no means certain that the governance reforms are going to pass.
Fairly extraordinary stuff from the FAI tonight. A rebellion from football directors on the board, that raises big questions about the MOU with the government. https://t.co/KKMxPCR3JX

What is this latest row all about? Why did Garry Owens and Niall Quinn feel the need to organise a press conference to state their position before tomorrow’s meeting? Do the directors who are opposed to the proposed changes have a case? Gavin Cooney joins us to analyse what is going on.
