Episode 2779: Progressive Keeper Watch, Sneyd & Branno, Startling Stats, The Kravitz Of Dalymount

Time for another goalkeeper cost-benefit reward watch after a weekend in which keepers progressed further and further from their boxes to concede sillier and sillier goals. Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger has pinpointed an obsession with their goalkeeper-playmaker as one of the reasons for Manchester United’s lame performance in the derby.

Kevin Brannigan and David Sneyd are in studio to hail four-time champions Shamrock Rovers. What are the issues between Stephen Bradley and the Rovers board? What do other LOI managers make of Ireland’s darling, Damien Duff? Where did it all go wrong for Bohs? And what are the ethics of a guard of honour?

David also talks to us about his great recent interview with Darron Gibson and Ken flexes his Pop-cultural muscles.

The Rugby World Cup final was a tense affair, but maybe not the showpiece we had hoped for.

We chat to Shane Horgan and @RuaidhriOC about how the Springboks got it done, claiming some Irish credit and Eddie Jones’ grand return to Japan.https://t.co/IKpjzKoNZ1 pic.twitter.com/cOA64IyFml
