Robbie Keane is no longer manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli league champions. Does this mean he’s in pole position to take on the Ireland job? We discuss how much blowback could the FAI expect for such an appointment.


It’s provincial finals weekend in the hurling, Jamie Wall is with us, and he’s feeling bullish about Dublin’s chances of an upset in the Leinster final. Limerick/Clare meet for the third time in a row in the Munster final, and there’s also the Joe McDonagh Cup final, with Offaly riding high after last weekend’s u-20 All-Ireland title.
