Gavin, David and Emma gather round on the morning after the night before to reflect on Ireland’s incredible World Cup achievement. We discuss Amber Barrett’s iconic goal and her extraordinary post-match interview, and pay tribute to the remarkable improvement of Courtney Brosnan.

We discuss whether we were wrong to criticise the style of play, hail a few unsung heroes.We also discuss the disappointing postscript to the night, as the FAI apologise for the pro-IRA chants sung by some of the players in the Irish dressing room after the game.We then look ahead to the World Cup: who do we want to draw?

Gavin Cooney is joined by the42's David Sneyd and Cobh Ramblers manager Shane Keegan to relive the horror of Ireland’s Euro 2024 qualifying group. Should the campaign just be written off? And is it now wrong to judge Kenny against the campaign?

Emma Duffy is in Glasgow for the WNT’s defining World Cup play-off against Scotland tomorrow night: we catch up with her to build up to a huge game.

At home, Shamrock Rovers’ dramatic victory against Shelbourne has allowed them to put one hand on the league title. Does this justify Stephen Bradley’s mass rotation in Molde? And have we over-estimated the strength of their squad?

Meanwhile, we take a look at two of the most surprising Irish appearances of the weekend: Joe Hodge’s Premier League debut for Wolves and Matt Doherty’s resurrection at Spurs.

Gavin is joined by Cobh Ramblers manager Shane Keegan to discuss another week in Irish football. Matt Doherty has been on the receiving end of some public criticism from his own Tottenham manager: we speak to The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke as to why Conte has been so cruel and whether Doherty’s Spurs career is finished.

We look ahead to Sunday’s Euro 2024 qualifier draw, and pick out the dream and nightmare scenarios for Stephen Kenny’s Ireland. Plus: Shels and Pat’s go mad, Rovers return to Europe, and some upheaval for Nathan Collins at Wolves.

Gavin and David have made it back home from Glasgow and are joined by Shane Keegan  to get his impression of the loss to Scotland. He explains why Kenny asked so much of his midfield trio in Hampden Park, and we debate whether he was wrong to do so. We also wonder about the gap between performances and result, and worry that it’s probably much narrower than anyone has said thus far. Also: why did Kenny say he wanted to top the group? We then size up the changes that should be made against Armenia, and debate if Ireland are good enough to break down deep-lying teams. There’s also some U21s chat, and some praise for the U19s.

Gavin and David are joined by Ken Early on the streets of Glasgow to look back at Ireland’s defeat to Scotland in the Nations League. How should we feel about this? Is yet another defeat still prove that Ireland are going in the right direction? Did Stephen Kenny get his selection calls right but his substitutions wrong? And surely Ireland can’t lose to Armenia again…can they?

Gav is joined by David Sneyd and Cobh Ramblers manager Shane Keegan, who is basking in the glory of his side’s Munster Senior Cup final triumph against Cork City. There is plenty of hardship in this sport, says Shane, so you have to enjoy the good days - though he did give the pink shots doing the rounds at the victory party a swerve.

The lads each pick their Ireland side for Scotland and debate whether Robbie Brady should start and if Stephen Kenny will opt to maintain the promising Troy Parrott - Michael Obafemi strike partnership. Or has Chiedozie Ogbene’s goal-scoring form for Rotherham been too impressive to overlook?

Plus: What’s gone wrong with Bohs? How Treaty United manager Tommy Barrett is outperforming his budget; and Shane explains why you have to scout the character as well as the player.

Gavin is joined by David Sneyd and Cobh Ramblers manager Shane Keegan to review another week of Irish football. Emma Duffy dials in from Slovakia to discuss the WNT’s play-off prospects and permutations. We hear from Andy Lyons ahead of Shamrock Rovers’ Europa Conference League game against Djurgardens, and David looks back on some of the stories from the last time Rovers were mixing it among the group stages. Plus: How worried should Stephen Kenny be about Matt Doherty’s status at Tottenham? And should Aaron Connolly go back to the Irish U21s? Shane also gives us the low-down on the football attribute that everyone is underrating.

Gavin is joined by Cobh Ramblers boss Shane Keegan and The42's Emma Duffy to reflect on Ireland’s history-making 1-0 win against Finland. A great achievement, but is last night’s performance a cause for concern? And does the playing style have to evolve?We hear from captain Katie McCabe, and ask if her contribution to this qualification group is on par with Roy Keane’s to the 2002 World Cup campaign. We explain the empty seats evident on TV, and try to explain the convoluted play-off system.

Plus, we flag some of the Irish deals on deadline day and wonder what’s next for Keith Long and Bohemians
