What inspired the discussion about football jerseys?
Off the ball. Rugby.
It's a long time since we accepted moral victories in Morton Stoke considering the history and the success of the club. Players won't feel that way. They wouldn't have gone out to get a victory. They did get two points which is no mean feat considering who they were playing.

And you're very welcome. We have Michael McCarthy and David Wilson with us. You might notice if you're a viewer of this that David is reclining gently to show us his muscles. I mean, sorry, show us the beautiful jersey that he's wearing, which is, of course, the storied Santos of Brazil jersey. Very nice. You'll notice the sponsors of the jersey are our new football sponsors, Novibet. They've kindly sent us this in today and it got us thinking about some of the great jerseys in world football that you might own. Did you already have a Santos jersey?
No, I didn't. But my dad actually has a Santos jersey. Oh, right. Yeah, a blue one. There's a blue one from, I'd say, 15 years ago when Neymar was there. Right. Yeah. So there is a Santos jersey that does exist in our house. Yeah.
I mean, if Kildare want any advice, they could take a look at this. It is nice, the thing of beauty.
It is. Like, it's funny, actually, we were saying, oh, you don't see too many Santos jerseys. You definitely don't. But you actually do see a lot of Brazilian football jerseys around Dublin, I find, these days. A lot of Palmeiras, a lot of Corinthians.
And are they Palmeiras and Corinthians fans or are they hipster Irish people wearing them trying to be cool?
I think in Dublin it's mostly Brazilian people, I think. But there are some Irish people that, you know, think they're cool and wear those jerseys, like myself.
My Instagram feed, and I don't know if I've clicked into all that much. I probably have a little bit and I've explored the outskirts of the jersey collecting, whatever actually going through with it. But I cannot move for being advertised of jersey sites at the moment. It does seem like it is in a complete high point of be it retro or the shirt in the box thing and wearing something random. But I've never, I don't know how, I'd say David could beat us both in the random football jersey stakes.
Which famous football jerseys do the hosts reminisce about?
I have a River Plate jersey that I bought in Buenos Aires. I don't know. Obviously, I should have supported Baca. It was just stupid. But Villa had a River player. I went to a game. They played. I'm like, I have to pick a team here. Is it going to be the one of Maradona and the whole actual proper city? Or is it going to be these like, you know?
But you always make the bad decision when you're a kid.
So I always... No, excuse me, I was 22.
Okay, yeah. Well, I automatically, like I veered towards Real Madrid over Barcelona. I veered towards River Plate over Boca Juniors when I just didn't know anymore. It was just like they probably had a more exciting long-haired curly striker than the other long-haired curly striker who was playing for Boca at the time. You know, and you sort of veered towards that and... you became a River person, then you grow up a bit older and you kind of realise the cult of Maradona and you kind of go, no, I've kind of picked the wrong team. I didn't really want to wear Tipperary colours anyway, to be honest. Because they're so far away from the Clare colours.
Well, they're the opposite. Exactly the same. I know, it's funny you say that. You pick your teams or whatever when you're younger, but in Buenos Aires, I think it's 30 professional clubs.
San Lorenzo di Almagro is the other team that was playing that day. If I, like, give myself a bit of advice, buy some legit, like, five or six San Lorenzo jerseys, the value that they'd have now, you'd be selling them for, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What have you got?
What's your... Yeah, go on. I have some random ones. I have a Uzbekistan one. That's fairly random. I have a Tajikistan one as well, which is also... Are these places you've been?
