What were the major headlines the hosts open the show with?
Friends, comrades, welcome. This is Bits and Bobs on a Tuesday in studio on this momentous week in Irish sport. A true gale, Conor Doherty. Hello, Conor. Hello. And a man who can literally tell you how many All-Stars every player in history has to his name, Will Slattery. Hi, Joe. Kieran McDonald. One. See what I mean? Only one. It seems light. Seems wrong. IndoSport podcast for your emails. Lots coming in. Plenty going on. Obviously, we will talk about an extraordinary day in court yesterday in Dublin where... Four of his victims made impact statements, as George Gibney looked on, and it was an extraordinary day in court. He's going to be sentenced now in October. We thought it would be this week, but it's going to be October.
There is a mess, an acrimony in Italian football. The net result is Roberto Mancini returns, but Paolo Maldini has stormed out 16 days into his tenure as technical advisor. So all sorts going on there. And of course, there is mayo, which we're going to come to. There is lots of mayo. Elsewhere, Zizou. Zidane, Zinedine has followed Jurgen Klopp into the international ranks.
How did the hosts describe the courtroom impact statements in the George Gibney case?
Who knows? We may have Zidane's France here in Dublin at Euro 2028. Klopp versus Zidane. Looks good. Sport itself keeps on rolling. Irish football clubs in European action this week. Shamrock Rovers up against it in the Champions League qualifiers tonight. Shelburne and Derry City go again on Thursday in the Conference League. In cycling, Taj Pogacar is the Tour de France winner for a fifth time. The greatest of all time conversation is happening now in cycling about Pogacar. Plenty, though, of course, with crossed arms, unsure as to how cynical slash naive to be about that situation. Maybe we should do a piece on it. in the next week or so. And also to mention in Morton Stadium's entry, Rashida Adedake, of course, booked her place at the Europeans next month in the 200 metres.
Amongst other stories, we're talking to Carl Dennehy tomorrow? Yeah, that's the plan. There are other interesting storylines on the athletics front. Kate O'Connor, just one of several Irish athletes in action at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She's currently in the gold medal position.
What happened in the Paolo Maldini/Pirlo Italy football controversy and who replaced them?
two events in to the heptathlon so five to go and interestingly Rhys McLennan sixth in the pommel horse and in the pool Daniel Whiffen fourth in the men's 800 metre final so all of that's going on but oh I think it's fair to say it's still sort of pale let's get to Mayo why are we listening to you read through all this what am I doing yeah god that was a complete waste of time talk about burying the lead Irish clubs in European action round one of the Europa Conference I just felt I should mention it
Mayo won the All-Ireland, Joe. Mayo have won the All-Ireland. I felt I should mention things. Mayo. So that we could clear the deck for Mayo. Mayo, okay, the deck, you come provisionally clear the deck. Yeah. I think you talked about every single... Stunk the joint out. Every single sporting event going on in the world. Yeah. Mayo, I can't believe that they've actually won the All-Ireland. This is one of the great quests in sports history, if not the greatest we've seen from the kind of worldwide reaction. This is... This is crazy.
I was just talking to a Clare man upstairs. He'd been listening to yesterday's pod, the one where we kind of... You know, all the feels from full time and fans. And he was saying, look, obviously, Claire in 95, we had a famine of 81 years. And I thought he was about to say, so therefore we beat Mayo. And he said, but this is different. We weren't in 11 finals. We didn't have all of that. We just came along and won it after a long time. So the Mayo thing blows even us out of the water.
What jumps out to me is that it was as good as I thought it would be. You know, it was as big a spectacle, it was as emotional, as dramatic, as thrilling, as colourful. Like, there wasn't one iota of anti-climax, like, both the manner in which they won the game, but also all the scenes afterwards. Like, I think that one Mayo fan who, like, collapsed in the stand, kind of...
