Episode Ep 3476: Ireland v Israel, Baden-Baden 20 Years On - 16/02/2026

0:00 55:50

Last week, while the rest of the team worked desperately to cover a series of world-shattering football stories, Ken was peacefully wintering at Baden-Baden. He returns with news of the Upper Rhine, where people are, as ever, keeping themselves to themselves.

Today we talk more about the implications of Ireland’s Nations League draw against Israel. The matches currently look likely to go ahead as scheduled in late September and early October. But should they go ahead? And can such a decision be made without putting the question to another General Assembly vote?

We also talk Troy Parrott, Harry Kane, and Keith Andrews finally getting the credit he deserves.
