We chat to Dion Fanning and Gavin Cooney about the other cause for celebration today, Ireland’s win against Azerbaijan, one which surely eases pressure on Stephen Kenny… for now at least.
Some bemoan that Ireland don't 'mix it up…but they've been mixing it up all year. Piece looking at how Ireland's style of play has changed/evolved under Kenny

Last week we spoke to Khalida Popal, former captain of the Afghan Women’s Football Team, about how she rescued her team-mates from the Taliban.
Because of the subject matter and the huge reaction we got we are making the conversation free to all. https://t.co/gst44BMhZh pic.twitter.com/pg1Eb8LdTt
