Episode 3566: Katie Goes To Croker, Kobe’s North Star, An Lú Abú, Konate Slips Away

On today’s show Ken reveals who he’s rooting for in the upcoming World Cup, and in so doing we get an insight into the footballing League of Nations he was a part of as he frolicked among the fjords in the late 1990s. He also tells us what Real Madrid have been up to in the transfer market, and why doing a Trent Alexander-Arnold was never on the cards for their latest recruit.

We talk to Paul Flynn and Dara Ó Cinnéide about Louth’s second half tour-de-force against the Dubs and where the drama will be in the next rounds. We also discuss Kobe’s star quality, where Mayo find themselves, and why we have so many fun teams left in this All-Ireland.
