Matthew Brown joins the podcast to react to the bombshell that VAR is coming to the Irish League...kinda. The League Cup final is set to be the first game in domestic football to use some form of VAR. There has been a backlash, but is it fair? If VAR is to come, what would it look like?
On top of that, significant results at the top of the league and a seismic week at the bottom. Are Glenavon in prime position to make the great escape? If so, who is set to suffer in their wake?
