It's a very sombre pod as Kathleen & Karen bid farewell to our one and only Emma Byrne, who was today named as  part of Eileen Gleeson's permanent Ireland background team... much to our desperate sadness... but also great pride! There was still a full weekend of FA Cup to dissect though, so we swapped an Ireland legend for an English one, Gilly Flaherty! Got a question for the pod? Email TheCOYGIGPod@offtheball.com!
