  • Ep 2341: Waterford Sink, Can't Buy Me Liam, GAA Move Fast And Break Things

    Last month, Waterford were the number 1 contenders for Limerick’s All-Ireland crown. Today, they’re out of the championship. Did expectation and big talk kill them?


    Ken wants to know why the Dublin hurlers haven't bought the Liam McCarthy Cup, and with the All-Ireland finals no longer in September he accuses the GAA of ripping up the fabric of Irish life.

  • Ep 2340: City Clench And Clinch , Football's Dictators, Mbappe's Staying Power, Saipan Fresh

    Manchester City are the Premier League champions, again sealing the title with a 3-2 comeback win at home. 


    We talk about City's win and how in the end the players carried their manager over the line.


    We are joined by Miguel Delaney and Jonathan Wilson to talk about City's win. The last day provided the drama, but is the competition in a healthy state? Is the billionaire-worship of football fans an ominous sign for wider society?


    Plus there's Mbappe's staying power and who was right in Saipan, anyway?

  • Ep 2335: Now That’s What I Call Hurling, Meath Spurn The Hayes Way, Eoin Is Talkin' Italian - 16/05/22

    Cork were mad as hell and they just weren’t gonna take it anymore… and their defeat of Waterford yesterday has blown the entire championship wide open. 


    Waterford are now relying on winless Tipperary to do them a favour next week, otherwise the league champions won’t even qualify out of Munster. 


    And a packed Cusack Park in Ennis was a stark contrast to how spinelessly Meath exited the Leinster football championship – a situation which moved Ken almost to tears.

  • Ep 2334: City Slip, Treason At Wembley, Newcastle Fly The Flag - 16/05/22

    There was little in West Ham’s record against Guardiola-era Man City to suggest they would cause many problems to the aspiring champions yesterday, but it turned out Jarrod Bowen and Lukasz Fabianski had other ideas.


    Meanwhile Liverpool won the FA Cup yet defiled the occasion by booing both the anthem and the second in line to the throne. 


    Dion Fanning and Gavin Cooney join us to analyse the weekend’s action. How confident can Jack Grealish be of getting his hands on the league trophy next Sunday? Why can’t Liverpool beat their closest rivals? Why are Everton’s matches now appointment television? And we also discuss the controversy around Newcastle’s Saudi Arabia-style change kit.

  • Episode 2329: Munster Heartbreaker, Zombie Comes Alive, Leinster Tame Tigers - 09/05/22
    Munster had 41,000 fans roaring them on to what, after 65 minutes, looked like being a famous victory over Toulouse. In the end they lost it in the most heartbreaking way, by shanking a few kicks in a penalty shootout. It had ,however, all the drama, atmosphere, desire and great play shown by the teams in the 2000's, but will that be of any solace this week?We also discuss Leinster doing just enough against Leicester, their date with the French double winners, Zombie coming alive at the Aviva and if there's a better way to finish games than penalty shootouts.

  • Ep 2318: Galway Bate Mayo, Murph TV, A Western Weekend - 25/04/22
    It was a beautiful weekend to be out west, especially when your team silences all the losers and haters out there, as Murph's Galway tribe did on Sunday by beating a much fancied Mayo team. Murph also details his very western weekend which involved football, a funeral, and some booze, and Ken wonders why his colleague keeps appearing on TV.
