Spending 43 million on reports. My my my. Join Conor and Jonny this week as they discuss the ill-fated 'Bertie Bowl'. In 1999 the FAI and Irish government began planning for a new football stadium, first Eircom Park and then the 'National Stadium'. The latter became known by another name, the 'Bertie Bowl.' Pushed forward by then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, the Bowl's cost escalated rapidly over a three-year period and, with little fanfare, was discarded in late 2002. In the interim, the FAI attempted to bid for Euro 2008 with the Scottish FA despite having some major issues with the stadiums it could pitch. This entire thing is a hot mess and I love every minute of it.

From 1990 to 2000, the Republic of Ireland featured five one cap wonders which, if we do say so ourselves, make up quite the decent 5-a-side team. Join Conor and Johnny as they discuss they five players good enough to play for the Republic of Ireland but who sadly failed to make it back for a second date. We'll discuss the cult hero goalkeeper good enough to play in a cup final, the centre back who had to fight off nationality suspicions, a cracking Premier League Caption, a Scotsman turned Irishman and a lower league cult hero. Have we given away too much? Nah! Also shout outs for two players who banged around Ireland's youth set ups but never progressed to the internationals—included because Conor loves a tryer!

Far-right agitators, insufficient police numbers and a failure to respond to security intelligence. What could possibly go wrong?!

Join Conor and Johnny as they discuss the immediate aftermath of the Saipan saga. Daddy Roy has gone home to Ireland and the country is losing the run of itself. There's protests outside the FAI headquarters, bishops calling for a resolution and people camping out at Cork airport. Good times eh? Oh there's also the small matter of an underwhelming pre-tournament friendly which injures several players and an upcoming World Cup game against Cameroon for Mick McCarthy et al. to prepare for. Pressure? Pressures for tires!
