Sometimes in football the question comes down to; do you want a Zinger Burger or a Ballon d’Or? Sometimes the answer is you can have both.

Shelbourne travelled to Troy Town last night to take on AZ Alkmaar and a National Hero. But their fans were there to see the Aul Reds, who once again missed chances and slumped to European defeat.

Meanwhile in Tallaght, despite putting in what some are describing as their best European performance to date, Shamrock Rovers also fell to another Conference League defeat – we speak to David Sneyd about what it all means.

Ken reacts to some feedback from his Slot In Translation takes of yore as Arne survives for another day. Ciarán reports on some unsavoury scenes at the Book Awards and we wish friends of the show Ciarán Cassidy and Amy O’Connor all the best on their wedding day (from which Ken will be re-telling the Vasa saga later this evening).
