Mayo have a new senior football manager, and it’s RTE pundit and commentator Kevin McStay.

We talk to Michael Foley of the Sunday times and former Mayo footballer John Casey about why the process needed to be as lengthy as it was, the transition from pundit to manager, the culture of secrecy in the GAA and why there’s no such thing as a team in transition.

Ken runs the rule over the Champions League draw with both Liverpool and Madrid in interesting looking groups and an obvious group of death.

 

As well as your guide to the sport on TV this weekend there’s Linfield heartbreak and Ken’s thoughts on the new Luis Figo documentary on Netflix.
