KENCALL has been brewing for a few weeks now, but it’s finally time to serve up the mayhem! Will this day be looked back on as the beginning of a glorious new feature on the show or will it go the way of Branno’s Look-a-likes slot, and quickly wither and die? Tune in to find out.
As this is our Premier League preview special, it’s time for the official launch of KENCALL!
Please send us your voice notes with what’s grinding your gears about football, about life, about Ken.

It was a great night for the Irish teams in Europe with Shels coming through a hectic penalty strewn first leg in Tolka Park to secure a 3-1 win over Linfield, and Rovers came from behind to win away in the Azores to cap off what Rovers boss Stephen Bradley says was “the best week” of his life after his son Josh received the all-clear from cancer.
