Our penultimate pod of the season is a big one — and maybe our best yet!
Barry Murphy joins us to preview Sunday’s FAI Cup Final and reflect on a dramatic Premier Division campaign.

The BTS Hotline is buzzing like never before, plus we’ve got honourable mentions for Jack Crowley, Ivan Yates, and Ciara’s Christmas tree chaos.

S9 Ep34: S9EP34 Does Anyone Want Europe?
It’s another packed episode as Kieran and Gary open with a scathing assessment of Ireland’s lacklustre showing against Armenia.
Did Bohemians act too soon handing Alan Reynolds and his staff new two-year deals before securing European football? And does anyone actually want those final European spots?
The relegation scrap is heating up with Galway, Sligo, and Waterford all level on points, while the First Division play-offs are overshadowed by Mick McDermott’s bizarre exit from Cobh.
All that and plenty more in this week’s episode — proudly brought to you by our sponsor, QuinnAv.ie.

As the 2025 League of Ireland season enters the final stretch, Kieran & Gary break down Friday’s thrilling Dublin derby, John Coleman’s sacking, more unrest at Turners Cross, and the battle to beat the drop.
In the First Division, Dundalk look to have one hand on the trophy – but how will they handle life back in the top flight, and will they be the only side going up?
After finding their shooting boots in last week’s predictions league, the lads go again with picks for this weekend’s domestic and European action.
There’s also a packed BTS Hotline, plenty of Twitter reaction, and a look ahead to Ireland’s upcoming international window.
