Walk It In

We take to Paris to cover the last remaining medal hopes for Team Ireland at the 2024 Olympics. 133 athletes will be representing Ireland in the next three weeks, with a record medal haul hoped for and predicted in many quarters. Our Instagram will be the best place to follow all the Irish action. Formula One has some life in it still. Max hasn't won a race in three meetings for the first time...

BAD NEWS: The football has ceased. GOOD NEWS: The football is back in less than a month. Who knows what we'd do in a non-tournament summer. We wrap up the 2024 Euros and ask how it will be remembered. While Georgia vs Turkey will live long in the memories of the privileged few who witnessed it, will Cian and Conor reminiscence fondly of this Euros edition as they take their last breaths in the...

We may be 2,000 kilometres apart but sport, as always, has brought us together. Our first episode not in the same room - expect some teething issues (but not from our side). The FAI is smiling with the announcement of part time football manager full time dentist Heimir Hallgrimsson as the MNT top dog. Rumours that the HSE have contributed to his weekly wage remain unproven. His appointment will ma...

Rugby tours used to mean something. Heading to an opposing hemisphere before engaging in a nonstop, action packed expedition through the best that a country had to offer in rugby terms (once you had adjusted to being upside down). Now a rugby tour is two games. Thankfully, when it comes to Ireland versus South Africa, two games is more than enough to get our fill of bruising rugby action. We previ...

The past 12 days have been a blissful escape into the all-consuming world of tournament football, but tonight's games will be the last actions until Saturday evening. The Euros approaches the knockout stage - it's fair to say we almost have less of an idea of who will go onto to win the whole thing than pre-tournament after a strange group stage. The Tour De France begins this Saturday and...

Watching every game of the Euros is not for the faint of heart - luckily for you, we're here to do just that. So far in Germany, there's been a mix of incredible attacking prowess and incredible boring games (looking at you, England). A couple of pre-tournament favourites are looking strong, with Germany and Spain winning by a three goal margin each in their opening games. Late on Sunday n...

The European Championships are here with the 2024 edition sure to enthral and delight football fans. We at Walk It In are looking forward to watching tournament football three times a day for the next two weeks. We chat through the groups, the significance of the tournament being hosted in Germany and discuss our favourites, with a few dark horses alongside the established teams. This episode will...

It's Dunkin Donuts vs Whataburger in the NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics facing off against the Dallas Mavericks. Our NBA correspondent Iggy Delaney joins us to give us a full preview of the main storylines. The real NBA genius on the show (Cian) has correctly predicted that they would reach the finals - will he change his mind or stick with his boys? This could be one of the most exciting...

The Premier League might be over but there's plenty of action to keep us busy this month. Roland Garros has kicked off and the king of clay has already been knocked out in what was billed as his last dance in the competition. Rafa Nadal bows out after winning 14 titles, losing only one match at the French Open. The hurling action is underway in earnest, with the provincial finalists confirmed...

Join us as we dissect the biggest storylines from the year, including: City's quadruple Villa's CL run The promoted teams boomerang Klopp's goodbye VAR's role. We receive some breaking news midway through the episode that stunned Cian - you'll have to listen to fin...

The Imperial March of Manchester City has steadily increased in volume the last few weeks. It's officially their title to lose on Sunday. We'll be chatting about the Premier League in-depth next week, but our eyes are elsewhere for this week. Starting with the Champions Cup final of Leinster vs Toulouse, this game is a proxy war between Ireland vs France. Fantastic players on both teams wi...

Huge weekend for Irish athletics with the mixed and women's relay team setting national records at the World Relay Championships. Both teams secured qualification to the Paris Olympics and will be hoping to make a big splash at the competition. Newcastle, Man United and Chelsea are set to battle it out for the Europa League places in a season that has held highs and lows for all three teams. I...

In the time since Stephen Kenny was not asked to renew his contract as Ireland manager, Jurgen Klopp stepped down from Liverpool, Xabi Alonso, Rúben Amorim and Robert De Zerbi were all heavily-tipped to take over, before the job ultimately went to Arne Slot. Is Slot's hiring a gamble or have Liverpool got the right structure in place to move on from the Klopp era? The NFL Draft gave us an inte...

The Premier League title race approaches its end, the GAA championship has kicked off in earnest and a multitude of other sports continue to tick away in the background. This is what Walk It In was built for - to bring you through these tumultuous times with grace and clarity. Gaelic Football's latest trend of bringing the keeper out for anything and everything was dealt a swift rebuttal over...

Busy weekend of sports to round up with Scottie Scheffler collecting his second green jacket in an awesome display, Leinster knocking out La Rochelle in Champions Cup action and Manchester City have ominously moved to the top of the Premier league after Arsenal and Liverpool dropped points. We discussed UFC 300 and why Max Holloway is the undisputed BMF belt holder. Elsewhere, Conor McGregor has a...

Augusta is the setting for golf's greatest Major, the Masters. We preview the in-form golfers looking to make a splash, talk about the illustrious lore around the tournament that helps make it the favourite competition for many golf lovers and if the Irish boys (Lowry and McIlroy) have a chance this year. The gaelic football championship kicked off with a couple of upsets in the mix alongside...

Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool are going blow for blow in the last nine games of the Premier League season. The run in promises to be the closest in years, with all three clubs dying to get their hands on this season's title. We preview each team's remaining fixtures, talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each and give our prediction. The NFL's International Player Pathway has se...

114 days after Stephen Kenny was sacked, Ireland's MNT team have entered an international window with John O'Shea as interim manager. O'Shea will manage a team for the first time in his career (!) when Ireland take on Belgium this Saturday. Tune in to find out why this is a bad idea. Note: Sky have come on board as a shirt sponsor since the podcast was recorded. Despite Ireland winning...

Cian is joined by returning contributor Ben 'Iggy' Delaney to discuss and dissect the week's sporting stories. We take a cruise through NBA, NFL, Formula 1 and golf this week at a breakneck speed. Ben has a crash course on the playoff picture in the basketball, while Cian finally gets to discuss the best hole on the PGA Tour. Russell Wilson's move to the Steelers has been confirmed...

Join us this week to discuss everything you need to know in the world of sport. Instead of tipping winners at Cheltenham, we've zeroed in on some of the horses with funny names, ranging from the mundane to the insane. AJ is back in the ring, coming up against MMA champion Francis Ngannou. The fight takes place on Friday and should be a cagey affair with a lot on the line. Lastly, we check in o...

From a double world champion to a new college football video game, as well as laughing at Chelsea, it was a busy week for us at Walk It In HQ. We discuss Daniel Wiffen's achievements in the swimming pool, and why his run of excellent form is coming at the right time. EA Sports College Football is a win-win for all, from the players to the fans. Why did it take so long to make a new installment...

Formula 1 is soon to return and we cover everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 season. Will Max win again? Probably. Saved you a listen. Cian is incredibly apprehensive about the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, but still believes Chelsea have turned "a" corner. Who knows what that means. On the golf front, the Genesis Invitational was won by Hideki Matsuyama. Tiger had to retire due...

Staying up for the Super Bowl was a terrible idea, but we did it for you. The Chiefs prevailed in the big game, winning their 3rd ring in 5 years. After two games into the 6 Nations, Ireland look on course for a successive Grand Slam. France are worse than we expected and got out of jail on Saturday against the Scottish team. England are playing scrappy rugby but making it work for now, while Wale...

It's Super Bowl week! Chiefs vs 49ers is on Sunday night, pitting the two best teams in the NFL over the last three years against each other in The Big Game. Andy Reid vs Kyle Shanahan. Kelce vs Kittle. Mahomes vs Mr. Irrelevant. It begs the question: Is there a Mrs. Irrelevant? Elsewhere, Ferrari pulled a rabbit out of the hat, taking us all by surprise by signing Lewis Hamilton on Deadline D...

Bumper week for football with Jurgen Klopp and Xavi both set to resign at the end of the season.

Mark Keegan, ex-Connacht underage and current Barcelona Lions stalwart, joins us for an insightful chat about the upcoming Six Nations. How will Ireland cope without...
