We react to the U21s Euro playoff draw, reflect on Dundalk’s victory over Shamrock Rovers, discuss the crucial appointments of Marc Canham and John Morling, and Emma Duffy joins us to look ahead to Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Georgia next week.

Ireland round out the Nations League window with another famous 1-1 draw. Gavin, David and Shane drool over Nathan Collins’ goal and then dive into the analysis of the game in Poland. Did Ireland deserve to win? How good is Nathan Collins? Was the team selection right? How good is Nathan Collins? Will Shane Duffy retain his place? And how good is Nathan Collins?

We also hear from Stephen Kenny and Caoimhín Kelleher, and then look back at the four-game window as a whole.

Plus: U21s deflation in Ascoli, Damien Duff’s tactical technique of ratting, and Ukraine’s deliveroo habits.

We also dig deep on Ireland’s problems passing out from the back, and identify another couple of worrying aspects from a much-needed victory.

We look ahead to the meeting with Ukraine, and try to settle the question: what was better, Obafemi’s goal or Obafemi’s assist?

Gavin, David and Shane gather for another post-mortem. Where have all the good vibes gone? Or are things really as bad as they appear? Shane drills into the numbers to identify the biggest problem with Ireland’s set-up. We also discuss whether Jason Knight is taking on too much responsibility, why Matt Doherty is such a big miss, ask why our set pieces have become so predictable, and pick a team to face Scotland.We answer your questions on the Ukraine game, and also hail our one beacon of hope: the U21s.Get in touch -email [email protected], tweet @gcooney93, or or alternatively get involved via the members’ group, by adding our number 0833930229 on WhatsApp and sending us a message.

Description: Gavin, David and Shane look back on Ireland’s terrible 1-0 loss in Armenia, and try to figure out what went wrong. Was the system wrong? Were the players too unfit? Why do Ireland keep struggling against lower-ranked teams?  Or are all of Ireland’s problems in their own heads?

We also look ahead to the visit of Ukraine on Wednesday, ask what what changes will be made and bask in the glory of our U21s. Is Will Smallbone ready for the step up to senior level?

Shane also turns the air blue by telling us about ‘Deep Completions.’

Gavin, David, and Shane look ahead to the Nations League campaign, which kicks off away to Armenia on Saturday afternoon.

Shane, meanwhile, returns to his opposition analysis days to give a scouting report on Saturday’s opponents.

We also preview the U21s triple-header of Euro qualifiers, look back on Friday’s LOI action, and get the lowdown on Newcastle-bound Alex Murphy.

We also have an exclusive chat with Chiedozie Ogbene, as he talks about his club future, career ambitions, and the upcoming Nations League campaign.

Gavin, David and Shane assemble to review another week in Irish football. We reflect on the top-of-the-table clash between Shamrock Rovers and Derry City, and ask whether Andy Lyons is the most consequential inter-LOI transfer in years. Elsewhere, talks reportedly broke down between John Eustace and Watford, but should the Ireland coach be having those talks in the first place?

David and Shane then pick the Irish players who would most benefit from a move this summer, and Shane reveals Portsmouth’s interest in two of the LOI’s top ‘keepers.

Plus: Shamrock Rovers’ star-studded U13 coaching ticket, Shane’s Eddie Howe experience, Mikel Arteta loves Patrick McEleney, and David’s romantic tale from a Tallaght carpark

Gavin, David and Shane assemble to update the state of play with and then discuss Stephen Bradley’s likely exit from Shamrock Rovers to Lincoln City. Is it a good move for Bradley? And where does it leave Rovers? Shane also reveals that Bradley may yet still work with his long-sought after targets, Colm Whelan and Liam Kerrigan.

We also speak with Georgie Kelly after his goalscoring heroics for Rotherham. It’s a fascinating chat, as Georgie discusses his self-doubt and why he very deliberately picked a move to Rotherham, owing to the culture of the club and the dressing room dynamic. He gives his insights into how attitudes in football are changing, how dressing rooms are different, and, while he would like to add some more confidence, he refuses to allow football change the person he is.

Plus: Is Stephen Kenny really about to lose yet another assistant manager?
