Episode 3639: All Aboard The Rory-Coaster, Golf Seeks Bastards, Pellegrini On Troy, Did LIV Win

Troy Parrott could be in line to make his La Liga debut tomorrow night in the Mestalla and we have some hot off the press Manuel Pelligrini quotes about competition for places and where he sees his new striker fitting in.

Last week Rory McIlroy finished third last at the St. Jude Championship, 25 shots behind the winner Scottie Scheffler. This weekend at the BMW Championship he came within three holes of winning the whole thing. All aboard the Rory-Coaster!

We chat to Mal Clerkin about Rory’s very patchy season, golf beefs, the need for more bastards, LIV”s legacy and if in fact the Saudis were successful at sports washing.

Plus there’s Rory’s floor, Ciarán Murphy’s two point masterclass and Jose knowing his audience.
