  • Disrespect for the FAI Cup??!!

    Put me right here. This is an RTE podcast right? How can an RTE pundit point the finger at a). either Bohs or Waterford b). The legitimate sponsors of non-top flight football or c). Anyone involved in LOI football? RTE - people in glasshouses don’t throw stones! You provide little or no support for local football, get off your high horse.

    Such disrespect towards other clubs, so unnecessary and so low, absolutely ashamed of hearing so-called Irish football fans/pundits whatever, talk about other... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shamrock Rovers' road to glory, LOI chasers' challenge and Josh Cullen closing i
Q: Do you bring him straight back in or do you just see how he gets on, if he gets a few minutes for the Burnley first team first?
Cawley expects Cullen's return to be closely monitored. If he plays for Burnley and is fit, he should be called into Ireland's squad, but is unlikely to start immediately.
Shamrock Rovers' road to glory, LOI chasers' challenge and Josh Cullen closing i
Q: And Alan, do you feel he is underappreciated in terms of his individual contribution over this seven year span?
Cawley says Stephen Bradley gets the credit he deserves, pointing to his management of a deep squad, European campaigns and the challenge of sustaining the players' hunger.
Unwanted breaks, title race twists and Jack Moylan's new ceiling?
Q: Do you see Jack Moylan's level as higher than people might have expected before this season?
Paul Corry says Moylan's recent performances and confidence suggest clubs will take notice, though a move to Brentford would be a major step. Alan Cawley thinks his athleticism and connection with people at the club could help him make a jump, provided he sustains his form.
Unwanted breaks, title race twists and Jack Moylan's new ceiling?
Q: Where do you stand on Stephen Kenny's comments that the 27-day break was unfair on his players and that a cup round should not have followed the longest international break?
Alan Cawley agrees that a near-month-long gap late in the season was unacceptable because it interrupted momentum. Paul Corry says organisers may learn from the unusual extended international window. Both distinguish the break from the reasons St Patrick's Athletic lost the match.

Q: How does Carla Ward view the travel and preparation for facing Kazakhstan in October?
Ward suggests that travel time will be a major factor but notes that Ireland should manage the two-legged tie by leveraging home advantage and maintaining momentum, with focus on tactical discipline and fitness to handle the long trips.
