The Buildup Football - Kevin Doyle On Christmas Football And Strikers' Droughts

Published: Dec. 20, 2019, 12:10 p.m.

The Buildup is Balls.ie's weekly podcast, with Ladbrokes, where we preview all the major sporting action for the weekend ahead. We'll be building the hype, whetting the appetite and making some bold predictions for everything that's happening.

This is the football section of the show where we talk to former Republic of Ireland striker Kevin Doyle about his memories of the hectic Christmas schedule as well as the goal scoring drought of Shane Long and how strikers handle these situations. 

As well as speaking to Kevin, both lads also make their 1-2-Free Picks for the weekend, trying to get three correct scores and win €100 cash.

If you want to listen to the entire show, which includes a look ahead to sport in 2020, a comprehensive guide to your binge watching of sport over Christmas, our NFL picks and much more, subscribe to The Buildup on Balls.ie podcast feed or the general Balls.ie feed.
