    This week's special guest is Cliftonville defender Jamie Harney. Jamie joins Gareth Fullerton, Barry Johnston and Gerard Lyttle in the virtual studio to chat all things Irish League. We look back on the Reds' comeback win over Bangor in the Co Antrim Shield on Tuesday night and reflect on the North Belfast club's season so far. We also discuss Saturday's controversy surrounding Glentoran goalkeeper Aaron McCarey.
