Shamrock Rovers fan Jason Maloney joins More than 90 Minutes Editor Andrew Milne. The last time Jason was on the podcast he described himself as married to Rovers and his lover is Celtic and nothing has changed since.
The bhoys chat about Shamrock Rovers captain Pico Lopes who has been making a name for himself with Cape Verde and now finds himself coming up against Messi and Argentina in the knock out stages of the World Cup. Dublin born Pico came through the youth clubs in Dublin before joining Bohs before making his move across the city to arch rivals Rovers.
Hibs were in town this week to play Rovers. The Dublin club sit top of the League and play Sligo Rovers away on Friday, followed by the big World Cup game for Cape Verde v Argentina. Jason will be back on the road when he travels on the club charter to Malta for their Champions League game v Floriana next Tuesday.
The bhoys also chat about the state of play at Celtic last season and in particular the excitement of the last week of the season. Jason also talks about Rovers old bhoys Liam Scales and Johnny Kenny and who the next Rovers player to make the switch to Glasgow may be.
Jason goes back down memory lane and shares many of his great European nights watching Rovers and his favourite World Cup memory of Maradona against England.
US based Dublin publican Johnny Vaughan joins More than 90 Minutes Editor Andrew Milne for a catch up on all things Celtic, the League of Ireland and to get his take on the World Cup Stateside.
Johnny arrived in the States on a Soccer Scholarship during the 1990 World Cup in Italy. He followed Ireland during the 1994 World Cup which was also held in the US.
He has a contact in the Ghana camp his pal and fellow Irish man Mick McDermot who also went through the Soccer system in the States and is now part of Carlos Queiroz coaching staff.
The lads chat about Martin O’Neill , the dramatic end to the season and the failure in the Celtic board room and their continued contempt for the Celtic support.
They look back at Tommy Burns Celtic team and the brand of football those Celtic players played and they also look back at European away days together in Munich, Madrid and Philadelphia.
Johnny was a regular contributor to the letters pages in the early issues of More than 90 Minutes and he is emotionally connected to Celtic like so many Celtic fans who live on the other side of the World who travel from the US and beyond to attend games.
The lads go back down memory lane and look back at Ireland’s past World Cup journeys and the Irish players who lined out for Jack Charlton in those tournaments in Italy and the US back in the 1990’s.
