Episode 21: Stephen Hunt On Mike Dean And Defending Waterford's 5 A Side Honour

Published: Jan. 4, 2017, 6:43 p.m.

It's a new year, but it's the same old story for Gavin Cooney as internet commenters find fault with his writing. His story on the Irish county with the best 5 A Side team (link below) claimed Waterford would be the weakest, and former Irish international Stephen Hunt tweeted his displeasure. Stephen was happy to argue his cause on air, so we were delighted to have him on.  He also spoke about referee Mike Dean, whom he calls the most arrogant man he has ever met on a football pitch.  Elsewhere, we cast our eye over the Congested Punditry Period, with Chris Sutton playing a starring role.  We have our Ladbrokes Bet of the Week, and we answer your questions, including the Worst Bald Manager in the Premier League and the best/worst Christmas Cracker jokes we saw over Christmas.  Get in touch: Twitter: tweet #TheBallBag to @ballsdotie, @Mikeyt086, @GavanCasey and @gcooney93.  Or send us a snap/comment on Snapchat and Instagram: both are @ballsdotie Email: thegaffer@balls.ie.  https://www.balls.ie/football/irish-internationals-from-each-county/355744 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
