What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an Irish Independent Podcast. Hey, welcome bits and bobs. Pumped to be here on a Tuesday. Conor McKeown, also pumped to be here. Conor.
Hi, Joe.
And Ronan Mullen. Pumped.
All energy, isn't it?
Well, listen. People are very excited about Ireland Scotland at the weekend. It's a new Scotland. Mature. Wait, what's this? Darcy Graham. Darcy Graham. Hot off the presses. This is hot off the presses. I think they're there for the taking.
What are the highlights of the Ireland vs Scotland match preview?
Brilliant.
Why would you say that?
Wow.
What good can come of that?
It's hard to say, really. We'll go there full guns blazing, said Darcy Graham. This obviously became a bit of a thing. I mean, they are open to the accusation of certain self-regard and self-confidence in the media. And this came to a head in 2023 World Cup when Ireland were on a heater and Blair Kinghorn said ahead of their game, when Ireland were on a 16-match winning streak, by the way, I mean, they were maybe, give or take, the best team in the world. Give or take. They were not there for the taking at that point. He said...
they've been on a good run good 16 matches they've been on a good run of form recently but we'll end that on Saturday great fair play to him more people should say stuff like this Peter O'Mahony afterwards post-match in 23 had a very grumpy head on him they were in the press beforehand saying they were going to knock us off our winning streak and you know how they had the how they figured us out and worked us out and I don't think they did tonight
We're all so precious, aren't we? Like, it's just nonsense. Of course they're going to think that. That's what they're supposed to think. They're the opposition. Trying to set it, though. Jesus Christ. That's why sports coverage is so bland now. Nobody actually says anything.
How does Darcy Graham view the upcoming match against Ireland?
We're only left with boxers. Does anybody else come out in any other sport and say, we're going to lay waste to these?
No. He also needed a stronger line there, Peter. It ended with, and they didn't.
it needed it like we put them back in their box also more annoyingly we are prone to performatively downplay our chances which and everybody can read through like if we if someone if the retort from an Irish player this week is Scotland are great side we'll do our best we'll be doing well to keep the ball kicked out of them like everybody sees through that as well and then the common refrain of every elite athlete currently is I don't pay attention to what's in the papers hmm unless it suits them. And then they're like, oh yeah, we use this as fuel.
So which one is it like? Yeah, you wrote us off. John Kiley had a good one last year that it was... He's quoted this a couple of times and I like John Kiley, but it goes to show the way they think. He was talking about all the kind of... all the comments that was out there about Limerick being All-Ireland Champions elect, they're going to win in All-Ireland. And he said it was a softening up exercise.
Oh, yeah. All the pundits are softening us up. I remember that.
It just goes to show you how mad these people are, that they actually are that kind of self kind of involved. And I don't mean that necessarily in a bad way, but they think everything is, you know, some sort of Machiavellian plot to kind of undo them.
Legally, I just want to say John Kylie, not mad.
No.
Indosport podcast at independent.ie. We're in a slightly different studio today. We'll try and cope Conor McKeown thrown by being able to see himself as he talks at all times.
Quite unnerving.
Yeah. I was saying to you that when, you know, you look in the mirror, you can kind of, you know, we do that thing. We know we're about to see a reflection.
Flare the nostrils.
We just handsome ourselves a touch. When you're talking, there's no way to control that. I read a thing I was going to say to you. It's a study, basically. And apparently, like when we look in the mirror, there's a bit of delusion going on. We flatten out our asymmetry and we look far more appealing in the mirror to what we do in real life. I think we've all had the experience, obviously, of a selfie on an iPhone going, oh, my God.
