It's now 2 defeats from 2 for Stephen Kenny's boys. A one-nil home defeat to what was essentially Ukraine's "B" team adding more pressure to the manager. But we won't dwell on the Armenia game and instead we're looking forward to our match with Scotland this Saturday. We were joined by Gordon Sheach from The Tartan Scarf and Adam Miller from Old Firm Facts to discuss Scotland's WC play-off defeat, their Nations League aspirations, "classic" Ireland vs Scotland moments from the past, Stephen Kenny's time in charge at Dunfermline, 3 degrees of separation, and more.

After the disappointment of Saturday, we caught up with David Sneyd from the 42.ie to look back on what went wrong, and how we might address the shortcomings against Ukraine. We also spoke to Andrew Todos last Friday to discuss how the Ukraine squad is shaping up for the Nations League and their WC play-off games against Scotland and Wales.

Ireland's first match sees them head to Yerevan to take on Armenia, and I caught up with Armen from the Football Kentron podcast on Thursday to get an Armenian view. We'll also hear some of what Stephen Kenny had to say ahead of the opening Group B1 match.

Today we caught up with @scott_coyne from @BelgianPodcast to discuss the @FAIreland vs @BelRedDevils friendly international. We're calling this one Episode 0.5 as we see this as a taster of what's to come when the Nations League starts in June.
