      <title>Episode 16: Kevin Kilbane</title>
      <description>A big conversation with the man they call Zinedine Kilbane - Kevin Kilbane!

George and Connor caught up with the 110 cap man to talk about his extensive career both club and international.

Kevin talks about the moment when he got called up for England and he had to tell his then manager Sam Allardyce that he had no interest in playing for England and big Sam's very stern response!

We hear about Kevin qualifying for the World Cup with Ireland and what he actually experienced with Roy Keane / Mick McCarthy in Saipan.

Could Ireland have got to a World Cup Final in 2002? 

George helps an emotional Kevin relive one of his most memorable moments in a green jersey.

      <title>Episode 15: Ireland's Greatest Ever</title>
      <description>With Rory McIlroy once again reaffirming himself as one of the greatest Irish sports stars in history, with his back to back Masters win - George Hamilton and Connor Phillips discuss who else should be at the top table of our best sports stars EVER!

We find out that George is too noisy to commentate on golf, we ask whether MMA is a top-tier sport and whether any football player to come out of the island sits on the top table of world best sports person?

The top 5 becomes a top 6, there are some contradictions and lets just say George and Connor didn't agree on everything!

      <title>Episode 14: Clive Tyldesley</title>
      <description>Its George Hamilton Vs Clive Tyldesley! Two of the greatest commentators to ever do it!

George and Connor sit down with Clive to look at his amazing career that included having a tie bought for him from a disgruntled Brian Clough, forming an unofficial 'wine-drinkers' club with other English speaking commentators, and he explains (in detail) if commentary is better than sex!

Listen out as Clive recreates George's, 'A Nation holds it breath moment' and George returns the favour with his version of what happened that night in Barcelona when Man Utd won the Champions League in 1999 - 'And Solskjaer has won it!'.

      <description>George Hamilton and Connor Phillips are joined by Captain Fantastic - Mick McCarthy.

Of course - Mick being Mick, he is honest, forthright and funny. He talks about Saipan and how the story comes back every 10 years - this time in movie form with Steve Coogan.  But it has never defined him. He is way more than that. He a fascinating interview - hear George Hamilton relive some of his big moments in the commentary box as well - even the goals Mick doesn't actually remember scoring!

      <title>Episode 10: Czechia Build Up Part 1</title>
      <description>George and Connor get ready for Ireland's play-off with Czechia this Thursday. Connor's nerves get the better of him and he needs uncle George to calm him down!

Always the bridesmaid and only the bride a few times - Connor gets a bit wound up about Ireland always being the 'nearly' team. 

George pays homage to broadcasting legend Michael Lyster who passed away over the weekend and Connor talks about the joys of being a GAA fan AND and Ireland football fan in 2026. 

And we hope the Credit Union has enough funds available if Ireland qualify for the World Cup! Contact and Sponsorship: ItsThere@fiocar.com

      <title>Episode 7: The 'new' Jack Charlton?</title>
      <description>With the Ireland Rugby team winning the triple crown at the weekend, George and Connor ask - is Andy Farrell the new Jack Charlton?

The lads discuss the players who will definitely miss out in the Czechia play-off match and those who may make a surprise return to the squad including 38 year old David McGoldrick.

With  Festy Ebosele set to miss out on the play-off, the lads turned their attention to the other member of the Ebosele family who is fighting fit - Cyclone from The Gladiators TV show... who incidentally is Festy's big sister!
