What is the overall context of the Nations League match between Ireland and Kosovo?
On the latest episode of Real Health at me, Carl Henry. I'm delighted to meet Professor John Nolan, chatting all things eye health, brain health, and a
whole lot more. There's positive movement in EU. With respect to specific labelling, if I was to say to you today that, say you're interested or your listeners are interested in carotenoids today, and they might just go out to a health store or pharmacy and buy a carotenoid supplement, 70% of those supplements will not have in them what it says.
Whoa.
Seventy percent. Seventy percent. I can show you the data on that. This was a shock to me too. As
ever it's available on all podcast platforms.
This is an Irish
independent podcast. In hindsight, it was definitely naive for us to expect an Ireland UEFA Nations League B fixture to provide a welcome distraction in midwater. It's a very controversial window. Cosmo won Ireland nil last night. Now talk turned towards Israel on Sunday. I'm delighted to be joined by Connor McKeon Studio. Connor, how are you? All right, well, how are you? I'm doing very well. I'm delighted to be joined by a very stressed-out Ronald Mullen who is kind of merging his personal professional lives right now. By applying for Oasis tickets while also recording a podcast. This is this is very, very committed producer behaviour.
Never again can anybody question my commitment to the cause here on this podcast. How many minutes left in the waiting room until you're twenty seven minutes. So the tickets go on sale at twelve PM C E S T, which is Central European Standard time, summer time. Mm, which obviously I'm quite familiar. Uh we're an hour behind here in Ireland, so
Ready to go. You got one of the lucrative college, myself and Connor, empty handed.
Oh, from Munich that I bury the lead there? Yeah. It's for the One of the three concerts in Munich, hopefully. And you were part of Munich as well, did you?
I think so, yeah. Can't remember. I think Barcelona and Amsterdam or something like that. I saw them in Edinburgh the last time and it was great to go somewhere else to
I think anyone who went last year should have recused themselves from this. It should be left for people like myself who missed out last year for circumstances beyond their control. And now I just feel like people feasting on a second go around who went multiple times in your case and multiple times in your case. Was the baby Mexico, Dublin, Dublin and Edinburgh leave some for the other people. It's so
greedy. Outside your control. Was the baby brought to you by a stork or
I'm actually glad he arrived the day before I was meant to go, 'cause if if he had arrived like three days later, I would have just been sitting around watch like I didn't actually get to I didn't have to like put up with seeing all this stuff 'cause I was in the throes of a baby arriving. But yeah. I don't blame him necessarily, but I did I I did miss out on a seminal cultural event. Um I'm glad we had that little oasis digression 'cause um nothing can push politics to the side quicker than Ireland returning to UA for Nations League B kind of where we We've been trapped since its inception. We've played five opening games to a Nations League campaign. We've never won any of them. Such great episodes as Wales four Allen one, Armenia won Allen nil.
Our only point that we got actually came courtesy of a ninety third minute equalizer from Shane Duffy against Bulgaria. I think it was Stephen Kenny's first game, potentially, or first competitive game. Um so that was our twenty third League B game last night. How many do you think we've won out of those twenty three games? Seven?
I'm gonna go low just based on the tenor of your question. Five.
Four wins, six draws and thirteen losses. Our two victories over Bulgaria where the basometer was beeping like crazy. Don't actually count 'cause they were in a playoff game. But yeah, we played twenty three games in League B. If you want to try an exercise, try explain to someone who's never seen a nations league game what League B is and how come we've been trapped there for five years despite never winning any game seemingly.
