It’s match day in Pristina. We hear from Ken who after yesterday’s press conference took himself on a tour through Kosovo’s history – both ancient and recent – encountering the local police force, up and coming citizens, grumpy taxi drivers and Madeleine Albright.

Gavin Cooney is also in town and has been tracking the FAI delegation and looking ahead to the plans the association is making for the Austria game, the only fixture of this window that will take place in Ireland.

Monday’s shows are free to all. To listen to all our programming throughout the rest of the week, join the Second Captains World Service. There’s no contracts, no hidden fees and shows can be listened to on all good podcast apps, on Spotify or through our website. It’s independent, commercial-free and member-led with feature interviews, breaking news, Ken’s Football Show, The Politics Podcast, and lots of added extras. You’ll also be supporting the development of our longer-form work, such as our international series’  ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ and Stakeknife.

Ken dials in from Kosovo as word reaches the United Nations plus we have a US Murph palate cleanser.
