    Episode 78 - Not quite a moral victory
    Oct 24 2024

    I'm joined again by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football to discuss the Republic of Ireland's two Nations League games in October. What did we make of the changes to the side and how the players reacted to going behind, and what does it mean for the final two League B games in November?

    Going into their final two qualifiers for the 2025 UEFA U21 Championship, the Under 21 side knew what was needed, but still fell short of qualification. What players from the squad can look forward to promotion to the senior side, and what does another campaign that finished in disappointment mean for coach Jim Crawford?

    Also, Sideshow Bob's rakes and I do a live countdown math problem!

    Episode 77 - Heimir Hallgrímsson's first games(effectively)
    Oct 8 2024

    I'm joined by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick to preview the Republic of Ireland's two Nations League games against Finland and Greece. With only one competitive win against the former, and having never beaten Greece, what will the changes to the squad made by Heimir Hallgrímsson make in what is effectively his first game in complete charge of the team?


    As the U21s face into their final two qualifiers for the 2025 UEFA U21 Championships against Norway and Italy, can Jim Crawford's team reach the finals for the first time?

    Episode 75 - The shortest honeymoon period...ever
    Sep 18 2024
    I'm joined again by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football to discuss the opening two games of the Republic of Ireland's 2024/25 UEFA Nations League campaign against England and Greece. The results, and performances, have led us to believe that, while things are bad, they can still get worse, and the honeymoon period for the new manager has already ended.

    Jul 24 2024

    I'm joined by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football, and special guest Philip O'Connor or Reuters to discuss the final two qualifiers of the Republic of Ireland's qualifying campaign for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, and look ahead to the play offs*, and discuss what we can expect from the new manager of the Men's National Team, Heimir Hallgrímsson, as well as the ongoing issues in the FAI


    *note this was recorded before the draw for the play offs took place, so we didn't know the opposition for the Women's National Team
