We reunite David Sneyd of the42.ie and Kevin Brannigan to talk to us about Rovers’ domination domestically, Damien Duff’s quick temper on the sideline as Shels manager, and how much importance Rovers have placed on European progression.

Plus there’s Brian Kerr being even more of a Pats legend than you thought possible, Branno’s new role as Bohs’ style guru, and an apology for Roddy Doyle.
