SCORCHIO.
As the mercury rises past the heady heights of fifteen degrees, consider Adrian Barry and Dave McIntyre as your fan-wavers in chief this morning. With European rugby titans set to square off this weekend, we have put the lads at CERN on standby to avert a rugby-induced black hole. Matt Williams was in studio to discern which stars to look out for this weekend.
In a former life, Kevin Kilbane was an international footballer. His current form is one which showcases the kitchens of both Ireland and England via Skype. Kev joined us to pick apart the FA Cup semis, with Tottenham due to play Manchester United in the in-no-way-neutral venue of Wembley tomorrow afternoon. Southampton will scrabble around for some semblance of respectability against Chelsea in the other tie on Sunday. Check out his thoughts in this morning's OTB AM video on YouTube.
Nathan 'Tiger Mk 2' Murphy was on to have his golf swing forensically dissected by Adrian and Dave, as well as the business of the JP McManus Pro-Am tournament in Adare. The salubrious surroundings have given Nathan a glow to his cheeks that needs to be seen to be believed.
Below are a few picks from the last day from Off the Ball, including Jonathan Walters decision to continue with Ireland, boxer Paulie Malignaggi on the show and John Giles who told us his team of the year.
OTB AM is brought to you in association with Eir, and can be found on the Off The Ball YouTube, Facebook and Periscope channels.
