Heads up for tomorrow nights show for those that might be interested.

President Michael D Higgins and football legends such as Paul McGrath, Niall Quinn and David O'Leary will be among the guests as this week's Late Late Show celebrates the centenary of the Football Association of Ireland.

President Higgins will be live in-studio to speak with Ryan about his passion project, his Machnamh 100 series of seminars on the War of Independence and Civil War, his decade as president of Ireland and his love of football.

This week's Late Late Show marks one hundred years of the FAI (formed in 1921) with some of the greatest players to have worn the Ireland jersey since the split in Irish football.

The likes of Paul McGrath, Niall Quinn, David O'Leary, Packie Bonner and Shay Given will share their memories of the glory days of the international team.

The organisation of football in Ireland even pre-dates the GAA as the Irish Football Association (IFA) was formed four years earlier in 1880.

Following a dispute over the venue for the 1921 Cup Final replay, the game in the then Irish Free State broke away from the IFA and set up its own association.

Also joining the show will be current internationals Gavin Bazunu, Dara O'Shea, Jessie Stapleton and Chloe Mustaki and managers Vera Pauw and Stephen Kenny.

John Charlton will also be joining us to pay tribute to his father, the late, great former Ireland manager Jack Charlton.

Plus, there will be music from singer-songwriter David Gray, who will perform This Year's Love, and Dan McCabe will sing Fields of Athenry.

The Late Late Show, RTÉ One, Friday, May 20th at 9.35 pm

Given Tubridy's lack of sporting knowledge this could be a total cringe fest.
Given that the Late Late show was one of the facilitators of one of the people who has caused the most damage to football in Ireland over the last 100 years, will they reference that??
Or maybe invite a few of the CRISC to reflect on that point also!
Can well imagine a few of the Delaney brigade like Davy Keogh getting far too much air time on this.

If Alan Hunter is not on it then I am not watching it.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Pretty much goes without saying.

Hes an awful "interviewer" whoever he is talking to. Asks a question then immediately speaks over the person trying to answer it putting words in their mouth or trying to finish their sentence for them.

You can put your house on him turning turning the conversations into morbid depressing stuff too. Loves to ask people about deaths of their loved ones or partners or make charity/pity cases out of anyone that has suffered an illness.

Calling it now that the main focus will be on Paul McGraths alcoholism/daemons/addictions/his wife leaving him, Chloe Mustaki's cancer battle and of course speaking to Jack Charltons son about his death.

..and probably something about the late Pete St John since theres a perfomance of the Fields of Athenry.

Still, I thought I should give it a shout out for those into that stuff on a Friday night LOL

He is a train wreck.
I literally have no idea how he keeps his job or who thought it was a good idea he got his job i the first place. They should be fired too
He is really cringe and has so little rapport with guests.

When he finished the interview with current players and management he says "Go forth and be brilliant, one and all." Who even talks like that? 

He asked Dara O'Shea two questions- a fairly thin one about his gaelic background that couldn't draw any insight really and a second one about what he makes of Stephen Kenny. So strange. 

Anyway, Bazunu is forty years of age. I still gleaned that. What a mature, solid and intelligent man.

The line about being up in Dundalk and the locals raving about Kenny....
