Poslanke in poslance bo na današnji več kot 14 ur trajajoči seji zaposlovala interpelacija zoper ministra za solidarno prihodnost Simona Maljevca. Predlagatelji interpelacije, Nova Slovenija in SDS, ministru Maljevcu očitajo neučinkovitost pri izvajanju dolgotrajne oskrbe in stanovanjske politike. Minister očitke pričakovano zavrača, saj meni, da je vlada na omenjenih področjih naredila ključne premike. Sicer pa ministrska usoda Maljevca kljub interpelaciji ni ogrožena, saj ima podporo poslank in poslancev koalicije. Drugi poudarki: - Odločanje voditeljev Unije o posojilu za Ukrajino z uporabo zamrznjenih ruskih sredstev je odloženo, pravna vprašanja ostajajo odprta. - Generalni sekretar Združenih narodov Guterres ob dnevu svetovne organizacije svet poziva k skupnemu reševanju težav. - Celjski nogometaši so v Dublinu premagali Shamrock Rovers; po dveh tekmah zasedajo tretje mesto v konferenčni ligi.

The finishing line is in sight for everyone apart from Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne as the closing stretch of the league clashes with the beginning of European league phase excitement. Dan and Johnny convene to discuss a busy week on a variety of fronts; and return to the familiar theme of Shamrock Rovers levels and Shelbourne's 2024 standards, discussions that might just happen more frequently than Waterford changing managers. Our mailbag listeners do ask us to go there in the search to put respect on names, while there's also talk of Damien Duff sightings, ungentlemanly transfer speculation and Derry dramas amongst other things. Johnny hears from Cork City's Seani Maguire ahead of a big weekend for the final four in the FAI Cup.

The boys are back in Oliver Ireland for a quickfire review of a double header that could prove very significant come the end of the season. Johnny has Galway's woes on the mind, while Dan debates the potential legacy of this Shamrock Rovers side before we hear from Andrew Quinn and Joey O'Brien about another Drogheda v Shelbourne meeting where possession equals defeat. On top of that, we've got a mailbag searching for new words on Mason Melia, some worries about Waterford's slump and a call for European predictions that the lads skilfully manage to swerve before Dan changes course with a big call for 2026. All of these definitive guesses are brought to you in association with Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Sport Cosanta and Rascals Brewing.
We're back with the Conference League league phase preview bonanza! We begin with who received the toughest draws (Aberdeen), which of the big boys could have the most trouble with the 6-game fall slate (Mainz), and who we think will coast through to a top 8 seed (Rayo). We discuss the tournament favorites in detail, including whether Palace has enough to challenge Fiorentina for the title, or whether their summer of inactivity will cost them across all competitions — plus what we think of the Marc Guehi situation. We also debate the merits of Strasbourg and AZ as actual contenders. Finally, we tackle the likely bottom dwellers, including what we can expect from the like of Hamrun Spartans, Lincoln Red Imps, and Drita, as well as some possible long-shot hopefuls for the title (looking at you AEK Athens). And of course, we couldn't go a whole Conference League pod without fanboy-ing out on Celje and Shamrock Rovers! Cheers to Mirel Rădoi!
Athlone Town's newly-appointed CEO, Steven Gray, sits down for a frank and wide-ranging chat. The former LOI player and Shamrock Rovers academy coach gives his take on Colin Fortune's controversial exit, the growing fan pressure on Ian Ryan, efforts to reconnect with the local community, and his plans to put the Midlanders on a sustainable financial footing. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we can't bring you our usual show this week. After recording late into the night, the lads discovered their equipment had let them down even worse than Ireland did in Yerevan. If you missed it, make sure to check out last week's fiery emergency pod from Armenia—and we'll be back in full force next week. Sponsored by QuinnAv.ie
