Episode 74 - France, England, and a new manager

I'm joined by Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football, and special guest Philip O'Connor or Reuters to discuss the final two qualifiers of the Republic of Ireland's qualifying campaign for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, and look ahead to the play offs*, and discuss what we can expect from the new manager of the Men's National Team, Heimir HallgrΓ­msson, as well as the ongoing issues in the FAI

*note this was recorded before the draw for the play offs took place, so we didn't know the opposition for the Women's National Team
