December 11, 2017 00:00 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBIt was billed as a classic battle across the Irish Sea, but when three Irish provinces took on the best from the Premiership, the result was 3-0 Ireland. Leinster took care of Premiership champions Exeter on the south-west coast of England, Ulster beat Harlequins in London, and Munster hammered Leicester in Limerick. Gordon Darcy and Shane Horgan are on hand to pick apart a wildly successful weekend for the Irish teams, including what Matt O'Connor the Leicester coach might have learned from...

December 04, 2017 17:29 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MBIt's European Champions Cup week, and after a barnstorming debut from Leinster's new signing James Lowe and the return from injury of Garry Ringrose, the options ahead of their big match against Exeter ‘Moneyball' Chiefs look impressive. Meanwhile, the dark clouds around Peter O'Mahony's future at Thomond Park are casting a shadow down south - we ask Gerry Thornley how the IRFU factor charisma into their balance sheet. Tiger Woods is back, and he looks happy, he looks relaxed... and he look...

December 04, 2017 12:53 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBThe World Cup draw went ahead without Ireland and FIFA President Gianni Infantino left nobody in any doubt that he finds Vladimir Putin very, very funny.Meanwhile, a busy Premier League weekend featured managers learning on the job, Big Sam and Marco Silva already going toe to toe, and an extraordinary admission from former giant of the refereeing scene, Mark Clattenburg.We are joined by Jonathan Wilson and John Brewin to assess the games involving the Manchester clubs ahead of next weekend's...
Ep 1022: Ken’s History Of Violence, Messi Myths, The Fox Outside The Box - 27/11/17
November 27, 2017 16:50 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBEoin and Ciaran realise that Ken, who has until now concealed a violent past, is not the man they thought he was. Meanwhile World Service listeners take Ken to task for spreading fake news about Lionel Messi. We discuss the best-paid teams in world sport and how Mohamed Salah is a new species in football: the fox outside the box. Simon Hughes joins us to discuss Everton's increasingly desperate manager hunt. Is Big Sam the big man the good burghers of Goodison are crying out for? Hosted on ...
Ep 1021: Ireland Unbeaten In November Series, Paul Kerrigan On Winning With Nemo - 27/11/2017
November 27, 2017 15:15 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBThe November series ended on Saturday with 3 Irish wins from 3 games, as Ireland saw off Argentina 28-19 to complement the wins over South Africa and Fiji. But in the absence of a truly hard-fought win over top-level opposition, we're left to wonder just how much we learnt from the month. Shane Horgan and Denis Hickie run the rule over Jacob Stockdale, another explosive Irish winger with possibly a big career ahead of him, as well as the rest of the players who took a step forward, includin...

November 20, 2017 13:51 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBThe returns from injury of Pogba and Zlatan helped Manchester United to enjoy their best day in a while, as Manchester City had another of those now-quite-normal days where they play some of the most stunning football in the history of the Premier League. Are Guardiola's team not getting the credit they deserve? It was a bad day for British football managers, as Tony Pulis was sacked by West Brom and David Moyes started his time at West Ham with a 2-0 defeat against Watford. We discuss their ...

November 20, 2017 00:00 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBIreland have won both of their November Internationals so far - but the game widely expected to be tight they won handily, and the one they were expected to win handily, they scraped through. Where does that leave them going into next Saturday's test against Argentina? Gerry Thornley of the Irish Times and Shane Horgan are on hand to discuss the dilemma Schmidt faces with Joey Carbery at outhalf, and why Los Pumas are the ideal opponents at this stage of the World Cup cycle.

November 13, 2017 16:34 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBKen returns from Copenhagen impressed by the city's sophistication and liveability and slightly taken aback by the rumbustious temperament of its people.We reflect on Ireland's performance in the 0-0. Was this anti-football taken to the Nth degree? Or do we need to recognise the often-unseen effort and tenacity that goes into a result like that?Which Laudrup was the best? Brian, Michael, or father Finn?Martin O'Neill was channelling the great Dave Allen in his press conference today. Between ...

November 06, 2017 00:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBCarl Frampton had pretty much a dream 2016 - he won his first world title, and with it became Ring Magazine's Fighter of the Year. 2017 has been rather gloomier, with a loss in the rematch to Leo Santa Cruz, a farcical return fight in Belfast which was cancelled with 24 hours notice, and a split with his management/training team, the McGuigans. But he's back in the ring on Saturday week, and he's with us on the show to talk about a fresh outlook, moving out of Barry's shadow, and falling in ...
Ep 1002: This Is Chelsea, Man United’s Bumpy Road, McClean’s Revenge, Have A Go Hammers - 06/11/17
November 06, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBAntonio Conte banished David Luiz to the stands and took all three points at home to Manchester United. Such a display of managerial decisiveness would impress most chairmen, but this is Chelsea.James McClean wondered why MOTD focused on his foul on Tom Ince but not the hail of projectiles showering down on him from the crowd. Does McClean also need to think about how he managed to lose the high moral ground against the Poppy people?Slaven Bilic has been sacked by West Ham but is David Moyes ...

October 23, 2017 15:02 - 41 minutes - 38 MBThe European Rugby Champions Cup weekend saw vital wins for Leinster and Munster, a dispiriting loss in France for Ulster, and Gerry Thornley and Eoin Reddan are on hand to talk us through the highlights. Ian Keatley and Cian Healy have both had their struggles in recent years, but as Eoin says, there is no new Ian, or new Cian - they're the product of their recent struggles as much as their own natural ability. And as Leinster's form graph continues upward, there are grounds to hope - not ...

October 23, 2017 12:41 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBPerhaps it shouldn't have been a surprise that one of the world's most in-form strikers so thoroughly destroyed the Premier League's most-mocked defence. But the shocking manner of Liverpool's collapse against Spurs at Wembley has left Jurgen Klopp facing the most awkward set of questions since his arrival at Anfield two years ago.We talk to Jonathan Wilson and Daniel Storey about how Spurs have surged ahead of their wealthier Merseyside rivals in 2017.Did the sure-footed Ander Herrera blunde...

October 16, 2017 00:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MBWe brave Hurricane Ophelia (or at least, the calm before the storm) to bring you a recap of the first weekend of the European Rugby Champions Cup, a weekend which saw all 3 Irish teams in the competition stay unbeaten.

Ireland need to beat Wales in Cardiff to secure a playoff place for the World Cup in Russia next summer - no other permutations exist, which only serves to simplify the task and magnify the occasion.

October 02, 2017 00:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MBWhen you dream of winning your first event as a professional golfer, it probably isn’t a million miles from what Paul Dunne went through yesterday at the British Masters.

So why does Ken continue to insist that Jurgen Klopp knows what he is doing?We discuss the controversy over the Romelu Lukaku chant, and why some Manchester United fans continue to sing it even though the player has asked them to stop.

Should Mayo have won it, or are Dublin just the best clutch side we've seen in Gaelic Football?The long west of Ireland winter stretches ahead for Mayo, with plenty of near misses, a sending off, and the usual diet of heartache and regret.

Episode 962: Man United Gather Momentum, Doughty Arsenal, Disallowed Goal Celebration
September 18, 2017 00:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBManchester United have another 4-0 win under their belt, and it's not even October yet. With Ken off work today, we see if we can't squeeze in some acknowledgement of Jose's managerial skills - Dion Fanning and Jack Pitt Brooke tell us to hold our horses. And even though the big game of the weekend, Arsenal/Chelsea, was a bit of a damp squib, were there signs of maturation in Arsenal's performance away to the champions?

September 11, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBNot for the first time, English football faces an intelligence crisis. There is evidence that unprecedented levels of ambient cash may be toxic to brain tissue. The hiring and immediate sacking of Frank de Boer is a new milestone in Premier League stupidity.Whose fault is the De Boer fiasco? Was he the architect of his own downfall? Is the Dutch football philosophy in need of an update? Or is the Premier League just the wrong environment to try to put it into practice Priya Ramesh and Miguel ...

September 04, 2017 15:49 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBMartin O'Neill's snippy interview with Tony O'Donoghue was the perfect ending to a drab Irish display away to Georgia. Ken watched it with an unfamiliar crowd and offers a report on what the casual fan and the fans of the future made of it. Ireland had no discernible game plan, a fact that makes them stand out in an age of systems based teams. Dion Fanning joins us to analyse the game and why Irish football just can't seem to get it right.Meanwhile the volley debate rages on - Eoin thinks he ...
Ep 949: Galway's Day, Waterford's pain, Joe's Bus, Derek's Tears - 04/09/17
September 04, 2017 14:01 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBIt was a day awash with emotion and nerves in Croke Park, but in the end Galway were the ones to hold their nerve in near-operatic drama to win a first All-Ireland title in 29 years.

August 28, 2017 00:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBYou know things are bad when rival teams feel so comfortable with the threat you pose that they have a pop at you, through their official twitter accounts. Arsenal’s 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool has resulted in renewed calls for Wenger’s head, and pundits such as Jamie Carragher describing everyone at the club as “cowards”.Richie Sadlier wants to ask angry Arsenal fans, why are you surprised and explains why Wenger is no longer the problem. We ask Richie if Arsenal need to get a bit...

August 28, 2017 00:00 - 52 minutes - 47.7 MBFor the second year in a row, it's Dublin against Mayo in the All-Ireland football final and in truth, after this weekend, there's no argument - they're the two best teams in the country, and the two most likely to provide a dream final. We ask Mike Quirke if Jim Gavin is underrated, and he gives us the downbeat reaction from Kerry as they were out-thought, out-fought and out-played by Mayo on Saturday. Meanwhile Oisin McConville is purring at the thought of a brilliant Dublin display, and t...

August 21, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBNeymar has made a pretty decent start at PSG. His career is shaping up like an anime epic with him as the hero. If Barcelona are all about the beauty of efficiency, Neymar's PSG will feature a bit more of the beauty of showing off. Only two games into the English league season and Manchester United have already built up the momentum of a runaway freight train.

August 21, 2017 00:00 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MBMayo manager Stephen Rochford is getting it in the neck from all quarters after disgracefully opting for tactics that took his team of lowly underdogs to the brink of an All Ireland final against the immortals of Kerry. Eoin delves into the history of tactical masterplans, and Ken asks "did Mayo lose"?Oisin McConville and Malachy Clerkin join us to dissect the wet n wild football on display, analyse Andy Moran's brilliance, and tell us, in no uncertain terms, who will win the replay.

August 14, 2017 15:59 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBEoin, Ken and Ciaran look back at an incredible weekend of football in the Premier League and around Europe. Is it good that Diego Costa at least appeared to be supporting Chelsea when a journalist called to his house in Brazil over the weekend?

July 24, 2017 00:00 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBJoe Brolly told the Sunday Business Post yesterday that capitalism would kill the GAA. Football shows us a sport where the process is already far advanced.

Sid Lowe joins us to talk about how the Neymar transfer talk is being received in Spain, and explains why the FA ...
