Oh my lucky stars and your lucky days! Join Conor and Jonny this week as they discuss the 2002/2003 season. Blockbuster doesn't even begin to describe it. On the domestic front, John O'Shea has a breakout season with Manchester United where he plays 30 odd League games and... oh yeah... nutmegs Luis Figo in the Champions League in the definition of tekkers. Elsewhere Stephen Carr has the season of the lifetime to make the PFA team of the year and Robbie Keane has begun his Spurs story. Internationally Mick McCarthy steps down from the Republic of Ireland shortly into the Euro 2004 campaign to be replaced by Brian Kerr. The FAI and Scottish FA are also shaping up to try and host Euro 2008. What could possibly go wrong!??

Join Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the history of penalty kicks and then Irishman who invented them! Willie McCrum from Milford Armagh proposed a penalty kick in 1890 to the English FA and, from there... history was made. This week our boys discuss the history of the penalty, the creation of the penalty shootout and Ireland's luck in shootouts. We also devote some time to saving and reforming the penalty for the better. All in a day's work for this Pod. Enjoy x

He played abroad before it was cool... Join Conor and Johnny this week as they delve into the career of Ireland striker David Connolly. Breaking out at Watford, where he played his first game at 16, Connolly was quickly thrown into the Ireland set up where he remained from 1996 to 2005. Quick, and with a keen eye for goal, Connolly was compared with everyone from George Best to Paul Dickov. He had some great moments for the Republic, and nearly cemented his place in Irish history with 'that' miss against Spain in the 2002 World Cup. Criminally under-rated during his playing days - he only played one season in the Premier League - Connolly's long club career is 'expertly' dissected by the boys this week.

At 18 years old Gary Breen declared that he wanted to captain Ireland. Fast forward a few years and the man is beloved by the Green Army! Join Conor and Jonny as they discuss of the hardest working, inspiration, and arguably unlucky Irish superstars in recent memory. Worked his way up from the lower leagues? Check. Had a dream and achieved it? Check. Should have joined Inter Milan but got twarted by a dodgy medical? Check. We trace Breen's rise from lower league obscurity to being the first name on the Irish team sheet (from I to XI etc etc.)

Who is Ireland's greatest-ever midfielder? We put it to the Twitter polls and the results did not disappoint... Johnny. The results did not disappoint Johnny as Roy Keane trampled over Liam Brady and John Giles. Listen as Conor makes an impassioned plea for Giles as Ireland's greatest-ever midfielder and the populist Johnny refuses to change his mind! Never a dull moment eh?

The 2002 World Cup is in the review mirror as the boys go back. How far back? WAAAY back to one of Ireland's greatest ever players... Liam Brady. Learn how Brady forged his reputation at the Arsenal. How he nearly moved to Manchester United for a tidy little fee and, most importantly, how he led Arsenal to three FA Cup finals in year consecutive years (the results were a different story). Chippy arguably made his fame in sunny Italia but his near ten years at Arsenal in the 1970s brought joy and disbelief in equal measure. Follows us on those socials

Okay not a great start... at all. Spain have scored after eight minutes and our lack of pace is exposing Mick McCarthy's men. But fear not, the tide is beginning to turn and the Irish look dangerous in this 2002 knockout match. Will the Irish score? Will we go to extra time? Will we be killed by the ill-fated Golden Boy?  Join Conor and Jonny as they begin to discuss the highs, lows and middles (?) of a heartbreaking match for the Boys in Green.

Mick's men have made it to the knockout stages. This is it... Ireland's greatest chance of a proper run in the World Cup.  Standing in our way is a Spanish side featuring a baby-faced Iker Casillas and an immense combination of Raul and Morientes. But... fret now we have Robbie Keane and Damien Duff pulling up trees in the World Cup. Join Conor and Jonny as they begin to discuss the highs, lows and middles (?) of a heartbreaking match for the Boys in Green.
