Hello and welcome to the Cic Weekly on Thursday the 18th of April

2024. I'm your host Barry Galaher. It's good to be back in the hot seat. I was thinking

it's five weeks since I've last been here so I need a good first touch and I'm going to

play, roll the ball nicely to my good friend Alan Edgar. Alan, how are you? I'm good mate. I'm going to play roll the ball nicely to my good friend Alan Edgar um Alan how

are you I'm good mate I'm delighted to see you back in the in the chair hopefully it's no

I'll do pal my escrit on oh god hope not and also joining us tonight is Eddie Walsh all the way

from Long Island New York Eddie delighted you're here. How are you?

Good man. Good to see you, Barry. All lovely and bronzed from vacation. And yeah,

we'll hope our own doesn't embarrass us here. So. Yeah, we'll try and get each other through it.

Just before we kind of get into the opening question,

I think it would seem like I've come back at a really nice time to come back.

It was a bit pessimistic.

Five weeks ago, I think, my last pod was,

where the title race was seeming as if it was kind of getting away from us. as often as the case these things kind of swine back in our favour and eddie we could never have predicted

probably after the game on Saturday which we'll come on to talk about how good we'd play in that

second half but you can never imagine how catastrophic things would have gone from those across the city on Sunday and then again last night.

I'm going to be honest.

Brian reminded me that apparently I called the game on Sunday correctly.

So I'll take all the accolades for that.

But I think, yeah, I just think they have that in them, you know.

And I guess in the past, you know, other than the 2020 season, they've shown that to kind of crumble in certain situations.

This is probably the closest we've been, I guess,
