Episode 3395: Johnny Infantino – A Ken Early Deep Dive, Sneyd And Branno, Pádraic And Pep

Today’s show is a veritable feast of football wherein we touch upon pretty much every topic you could hope for. David Sneyd joins Eoin and Kevin to look back at League of Ireland season 2025: did it survive Damien Duff exiting mid-June, who do the lads think is manager of the year and why are Shamrock Rovers prioritising the FAI Cup over European Glory?

Ken watched Gianni Infantino at the American Business Forum last night – where DJT also made an appearance – and he has grown increasingly concerned for the FIFA President’s well-being. Has he gone completely crazy? We go deep and try to answer just that.

Plus there’s Ireland at the u17 World Cup, Pádraic Joyce talks shop with Pep, and an early Frances Murphy’s TV Guide.
