Eking Out A Living In The Ether

On the anniversary of Shane Long's famous winner vs Germany, David Sneyd & Shane Keegan discuss whether Heimir Hallgrímsson's side can find some big results in the upcoming double-header on the road vs Greece and Finland.


The duo also debate if Shelbourne's days on top of the pile are coming to an end, whether Derry City can hold off Shamrock Rovers in the chase to steal top spot and how the table would actually look if it all came down to stats.


We also hear from Ireland and AZ star Troy Parrott.
