We heard from a number of different voices on OTB AM today discussing Cyrus Christie's experience of racism within the Irish team.
We had Labour TD Aodhán Ó'Ríordáin, Phelim Warren from fans' group YBIG, and Ken McHugh, co-founder of Sport Against Racism Ireland all on the show.
Darragh McGinley, former FAI Social Media Editor, also took a call to discuss the protocols around dealing with online abuse directed towards players.
Former Celtic star Chris Sutton joined us too for a chat around his new book.
