Episode 2300: World Cup Draw And Qatar’s Tone Shift, Mol An Óige, Frank’s New Direction
Irish talent was dominating at every level this weekend, with Chiedozie Ogbene lighting up the Papa Johns and Michael Obafemi the Championship; as for the Premier League, at this rate it cannot be long before Tottenham rename their ground The Matt Doherty Stadium.
Antonio Conte has actually done it again… @mattdoherty20 was always a strong wing-back, but how far he has come over the last few months is just amazing. Even playing LWB yesterday. Conte’s ability to transform players is actually unbelievable! pic.twitter.com/7y57tckXZj

We also talk about the World Cup draw, Frank Lampard’s new direction and the challenges Graham Potter faces managing the not-helpful suggestions of Brighton fans.
We then chat to Miguel Delaney about his visit to Qatar for the World Cup draw. Did it leave him more or less convinced that Qatar is a suitable venue for a World Cup?
A lot of talk over progress made in Qatar etc
The more I think about it, Fifa and other federations should not be giving tournaments to countries that aren’t democracies
Not perfect – clearly – but also less likely for a tournament to be politically usedhttps://t.co/lQcWgTTQ19
