What controversies are currently affecting Scottish football?
This is an Irish independent podcast. Welcome everyone. So much to get through in the podcast today. The football world is humming. Later on, we're going to have the great Richard Fitzpatrick with us from Barcelona because Florentino Perez has gone full on. I mean, I hate to use the Trump analogy, but 90 minute press conference, rambling, repeating himself, calling out journalists. I mean, it was kind of as close as Florentino Perez press conferences go. And they are rarities. I mean, it's the first time since 2018 he's done anything like this. It was an extraordinary one on Tuesday.
How is Real Madrid's season unfolding amidst chaos?
So Richard Fitzpatrick will fill us in on the details. He'll also tell us why Mbappe and Jude Bellingham just don't like each other and more besides. So that's on the way. In the meantime, Will Slattery is here. Will, hello. Hi, Joe. And Ronan Mullen joins us from Munich.
What happened during Florentino Perez's unusual press conference?
Ronan, come in.
Hi, folks. How's it going?
yeah very well loads to get through obviously so Spanish football on the way Scottish football first Scottish football first of course have to go there I should say our football coverage is sponsored by Sky Sports with Sky Sports and Sports Extra you can watch every live Premier League match this season so this week all 10 matches live on Sky including Friday night Aston Villa Liverpool there are 6 games on Super Sunday Six. OFA Cup final. United Forest, Manchester United Forest, Newcastle West Ham, and then Monday night is Arsenal against Burnley. And on Tuesday night, it's Manchester City away to Bournemouth with Chelsea playing Spurs as well. You can get Sky Sports and Sports Extra on Sky or stream them with now.
So everybody's good, I presume. Ronan, Munich is bounced back, I hope, after last week.
Yeah, they're celebrating one of their numerous public holidays today. So the people I know over here are having fun with their Thursday. I'm chatting to you guys. Thursday? A different kind of fun.
What's the point of a holiday on a Thursday? So is this like one of their, it's like a national holiday or what is it?
think it's ascension day oh but essentially this is very uh in the weeds so we can potentially skip over but whatever day public holidays fall in germany they just have them on that day rather than our system where it's usually moved to the monday to the monday so if it falls at the weekend Hard luck.
Oh, so you don't get the Monday off if it's a weekend? No, that's German efficiency.
We do not have time to go to Monday.
Why is there tension between Mbappe and Bellingham?
That is shocking. Niamh from Dublin emailed in. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Will for persisting in mentioning the Scottish Premiership title race at every opportunity. It led to my turning on Scottish football for the first time tonight, she wrote last night. And what a first match to watch. I am now locked in for the final match on Saturday.
Like, it was as good as Advert. Like, by all my wildest dreams, I didn't think we'd get drama like we did last night. My wife came in just as injury time was taking place. And then she sat there enthralled. And she agreed that it was a penalty. So, look, we were on the same page in that one. Yeah. I was in an NCT waiting room. So, not everybody had a great time. Yeah. That's the exact opposite to watching this match. Sitting in an NCT waiting room. And how'd you get on? I failed. Oh.
The car's only three years old. Technicality or something serious? Failed. One of the tires, the thread depth. That's how they get you. And the beam on the headlight is apparently slightly too high, which can happen, I think, if you're going over speed bumps. It can misalign. I don't think my dipped headlight has taken out anyone. Another 30 quid for them, though. 40. Oh, it gets worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, it wasn't a thrilling evening for me. But for Niamh, for you, for Ronan, I'm presuming, I'm very happy. Hearts are one point clear going into the final day of the season. 80 points to Celtic, 79. They beat Falkirk 3-0, Hearts. And then had eight minutes on the pitch. Eight minutes as Motherwell 2, Celtic 2 was drawing to a close.
What implications does VAR have on recent football decisions?
But of course, it would not finish Motherwell 2, Celtic 2.
