Episode 3704: Carrick Cruelty, American Poch, Legends End, Egomaniac ID, Vasa Visit

The vultures are circling for Michael Carrick, but they are being uncharacteristically slow in swooping in to finish the job – Ken gives us the location, time-scale and guest-list for this decision that Manchester United have somehow still not made.

We also talk to Paul Flynn and Malachy Clerkin about the recent retirements of two all-time greats, Michael Murphy of Donegal and Kilkenny’s TJ Reid.

By any metric apart from his own exacting standards, Murphy’s un-retirement was a success, but TJ Reid was refreshingly honest in his assessment of his own career (he was the GOAT).

Plus there’s American Poch, Vasa visits and an egomaniac goes north.
