Episode 2587: It’s Ireland, It’s Football, It’s…
Today Gavin Cooney joins us to talk about how Ireland Football is emerging from the long winter hibernation. A fresh look, an exciting new brand concept… a new dawn?
We’ve had a few of those, but as these WCQs are Stephen Kenny’s fourth tournament in charge of the team, is it about time we started feeling some sunshine on our skin?
We also discuss FIFA’s planned changes to the gigantic new World Cup format, and peruse some of the latest details emerging from the investigation into Barcelona’s mysterious payments to a senior official in the Spanish refereeing system.
