Episode 2677: Elon’s Hate Hose, Booing And Bazball, Irish Boxers Win Again, Kellie’s Information Vacuum

Murph is of course a true gael, but also the only known link between the GAA world and the cricket world. So with bazball, Bairstow, booing, allegations of cheating and four QF’s in croker, he’s had a busy weekend.

Twelve boxers, five medals, two champions; it was a very good trip to the European Games in Poland for Ireland’s boxers with five now qualified for next year’s Olympics in Paris, including Olympic and world champ Kellie Harrington.

We chat to The42’s Gavan Casey about the fallout from Kellie’s controversial tweet in October 2022 and her tetchy, awkward interview on Off The Ball in March of this year. In the absence of any real clarity from Kellie on that tweet, we wonder is her reputation treading water until she speaks about it again.

We also discuss Zaur Antia’s incredible record as a coach, Aoife O’Rourke’s talent and what Amy Broadhurst – who failed to qualify for Paris through these Games – has to do now to get to the Olympics.

And Ken and Murph discuss Elon’s hate hose and pray that one day he will switch it off.
