Episode 3631: Mark English Gold, Rhasidat Is Cooking, Worst Ever Rovers, Shels Redeem Dublin, Battling Bohs
There were just 23 minutes between Mark English’s gold and Rhasidat Adeleke’s silver at the Europeans in Birmingham last night – Irish athletics has rarely had it so good.

We talk to Michael Foley of the Sunday Times about Irish glory, Rhasidat’s new mental approach, and the possibility of a couple of medals in the pool between now and Sunday evening.

Ken was in Tolka to see Shels get a very respectable draw with Ajax but the big story was “worst ever” Rovers getting dumped out of the Europa league, conceding 5 goals against 10 men.
Plus there’s Rhasidat the media performer, Branno on Bohs and Frances’ Tv guide.
