Irelanda year ago - Great show just need to lay off the political statements
Great bunch of lads who have a real genuine love of the LOI. Very informative and to the point. Also the chemistry of the two is brilliant, they’ll defo come to blows some day but make up quickly.
At the same time I don’t know if Johnnys been hanging around Hugh Cahill too much or what but leave the personal opinions on politics to one side. We’ve to hear enough from the likes of Cahill on RTE so we could do without that on here.
