Ireland take on Finland tonight in the Nations League, and we could really do with a goal. We have Adam Idah and Aaron Connolly back in tow at least, and at least one of our presenters predicts a 5-2 win.

Oisin McConville is back to talk to us about the return of the inter-county GAA season, picking up where we left off 7 and a half months ago. Jim McGuinness was spotted in Tuam Stadium helping out Padraic Joyce and the Galway footballers – what impact can he have in two months, if he even sticks around longer than that one session?

Plus there’s the natural advantage that pig farmers will have in this winter All-Ireland championship, the Dubs in turmoil, and Ken rails against Brighton for some reason.
