Episode 2096: Revenge For ‘Ireland 0-1 Luxembourg’ Is A Dish Best Served By Bohs, Irish Teams In Europe, Why Domestic Football’s Disappeared From Our TV Screens

We talk to David Sneyd and Kevin Brannigan of the42.ie, the dynamic duo of domestic football, about Irish teams in Europe, Bohs’ young guns, Richie Towell’s instant impact with Shamrock Rovers, and why the League of Ireland has disappeared off our TV screens for the summer.
