Episode 3528: Schwein Ball, Sicko Semis, Foraging In Derry, Ozhianvuna Boy Wonder, Ken v Science
The Champions League has come up with an enthralling pair of semi-finals: one for the purists and one for the sickos. We look back at Bayern v Real and Arsenal v Sporting.
Meanwhile Ken’s archaic views on sports science receive support from an unexpected source. We also hear from Gianni Infantino who assures us that Iran will compete at the World Cup “for sure”. Judging by current headlines, maybe we should be more concerned about the Europeans’ chances of getting there.
David Sneyd joins multi-award-nominated film director Kevin Brannigan in studio to talk about what’s been happening in the League of Ireland, as James McClean wanders the woods and Rovers take on Bohs tomorrow night.
