Episode 2755: Ryder Cup Comes Rome, Rory Aurelius, Cantlay’s Cap, Scottish Permutations

All we ask of the Ryder Cup is that it be close… and if it’s not close, can we at least make sure that Rory McIlroy is picking fights in the car-park on the Saturday night?

Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times and Gavin Cooney from the 42 are back in studio to talk to us about Rory’s fightin’ talk, Patrick Cantlay’s cap, and why these things keep finishing in crushing wins for the home team.

There’s also a triumphant/boring return for Permutations Man, Marcus Aurelius, and five-team groups in the Rugby World Cup.

We pick through the entrails of Spurs v Liverpool with @MiguelDelaney & @dionfanning

Is this the biggest VAR mess yet?

Are there solutions that can improve the current situation?

Is the obvious fix not just to… bin it altogether?@acast https://t.co/Bk8BaYElyy pic.twitter.com/FGKUkIQt2x
