Former St Pat's, Shelbourne and Drogheda United manager Johnny McDonnell and RTÉ Sport's Conor Neville join Raf Diallo to review a losing start for new Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson against England and Greece, with a focus on the issues underpinning the defeats both tactically and in regard to waning confidence levels among the players and fanbase.
They also talk about the Ireland Under-21s' two September qualifiers, the situation at Dundalk amid financial concerns, the upcoming FAI Cup quarter-finals and Cork City's promotion from the First Division.
