After breaking a 630+ day goal drought in the FAI Cup, Longford Town forward Dean George joins us for an honest and emotional chat. But this isn’t just about a long-awaited goal — it's a raw look at life in the First Division: battling injuries, mental struggles, and moments where walking away felt easier than carrying on. A powerful insight into the realities of part-time football.
Elsewhere, Kieran and Gary review the FAI Cup weekend and look ahead to the return of league action and the latest European ties.
