Gavin Cooney is joined by Shane Keegan and David Sneyd to discuss another week in Irish football.

Roy Keane is being linked with another job in management - Tom English of BBC Scotland gives us the lowdown on the possibility of Keane taking charge at Hibernian. His name-sake Robbie, meanwhile, appeared on Monday Night Football and made it clear he wants to break into management himself: we discuss whether he’d make a good manager, and where realistically he might find his first job.

We also reflect on the international careers of Stephen Ward and Andy Keogh, both of whom have announced their retirements, and we also look back on another round of action in the League of Ireland: What’s happening with the Bohs captaincy? Can Shamrock Rovers be stopped? And why was Vito from the Sopranos at Oriel Park?

Gavin, David and Shane review another week in Irish football. All of a sudden, Derry City’s lead is down to a single point: are they wobbling? And is Jack Byrne back to his best at Shamrock Rovers? Meanwhile, after another home defeat, does Damien Duff need to change how he’s working at Shelbourne? And is Keith Long getting unfair criticism from Bohs fans?

We ponder what’s next for Jason Knight, get the lowdown on Newcastle-bound Alex Murphy, and then Shane tells us of how close Galway United came to being bought by Saudi businessmen in 2018, and recalls some of the stranger parts of that tale.

Emma Duffy is on the line from Gothenburg to look ahead to tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier against Sweden. Shane, David, and Gavin then pick through the implications of Matt Doherty’s season-ending injury, and ask if it’s the one injury Stephen Kenny cannot contend with.

We salute Troy Parrott’s one-fifth-of-a-Van-Basten-volley against Wimbledon and then review the LOI action. David reports from St Pat’s ‘Whacking Day’ against Dundalk, and we ponder whether the Premier Division has already sorted itself into the runners and riders for the title, Europe, and relegation.

We also debate Offaly GAA’s decision to drop three U14 players from their development panel after they missed a training session to play a soccer game.

Gavin, Shane, and David reassemble to discuss another week in Irish football. Damien Duff bites back at some very minor criticism from Karl Sheppard: was he right to do so? And why did he do it?

Emma Duffy joins us from Abbottstown to report from the WNT camp ahead of next week’s World Cup qualifier in Sweden, and The Athletic’s Spurs correspondent Charlie Eccleshare joins us to discuss the rise of Matt Doherty and the future for Troy Parrott.

Gavin, David and Shane get stuck into a review of the 2-2 draw with Belgium. Hear why Stephen Kenny wasn’t quite right to say victory wouldn’t have flattered Ireland, why Callum Robinson remains the team’s most important player, and what went so badly wrong on the second Belgian goal. Is set-piece defending becoming a problem?

We also hear from Ireland assistant manager Keith Andrews, along with defender John Egan, before looking ahead to the Lithuania game. What changes should be made, and, in a strange way, is this the more important of the two games this month?

Plus: The Booing of Henry, a Zelensky cut-out, and Red Rum RIP.

Gavin Cooney is joined by Shane Keegan and David Sneyd to discuss the latest week in Irish football. David recalls his trip to Ballybofey with a couple of the Finn Harps players, and we run the rule over Friday’s Dublin derby.

We also discuss Connor Ronan, and his chances of being named in Stephen Kenny’s squad on Friday. There’s also discussion on the FAI’s one-off U20s squad, and some of the names to watch out for.

Kenny brought journalists behind the scenes and into the FAI’s analysis room last week for a video presentation on Ireland’s play in 2021. We explain what was said and discuss whether it was a good idea.

And then there's coaching idols, programme notes, and should the Irish football team be boycotting teams other than just Russia?
