Episode 3635: Parrott To Betis, Katie Taylor On RTE, Jose’s Madrid, Rodri’s Sliding Doors

As we go to press Troy has yet to step foot on a plane departing Amsterdam for Seville – but a deal is reportedly imminent.

We speak to Miguel Delaney about the details of the move to Betis, what this transfer would mean for Troy (and Ireland), how Jose will fare in Madrid and if Rodri’s move to Barca could be a sliding doors moment for European football.

What is this “horizontalism” that Troy’s would-be team-mate Héctor Bellerín speaks of?

And as the Katie Taylor ‘Rumble On Jones Road’ build up begins, RTÉ have announced that they will be airing the fight free-to-all. We reflect on how this amplifies the encounter even more and wonder if there will be a pre-fight Croke Park parade.
