Episode 2971: McTominay Alley, Albania’s AirPod Karma, Treaty of Trianon, Guinness Geeks

While the official slogan of Euro 2024 may read “United by Football. Vereint im Herzen Europas”, Europe is a continent of disunity, of forever shifting national boundaries.

So, with that in mind, Ken today speaks to us from Stuttgart where he witnessed the hosts dismantle Hungary, whose black-shirted fanbase seemed more caught up in the Treaty of Trianon (1920).

We also hear from Joe Callaghan who – with his own eyes –  saw the first true Arse of McGinn moment of this tournament as Scotland found their groove right where they left it, on McTominay Alley.

Plus there’s Permutations Man, bloody Chris Sutton, Ken’s AirPod Saviour and more Guinness Geek chat (apologies).

Ken dials in from the game of the tournament (so far), as he breathlessly recalls the clash of Turkey’s home game V Georgiahttps://t.co/GCOnDKdLRB pic.twitter.com/xZjyuZM7MC
