Episode 02 of The Long Ball Podcast tackles two of football’s biggest stories.

First, we break down the Manchester City charges, what the club is accused of, the potential punishments and what the outcome could mean for the Premier League.

Then we turn to Ireland v Israel, the FAI’s decision to play, the position the players were placed in, the UEFA implications and the match itself.

The Charges and The Choice. Two difficult stories, plenty of questions, and no easy answers.

The Long Ball Podcast | Season 1, Episode 01 — Kick Off

The first whistle has blown! Frankie Kelly and Lee Kelly kick off The Long Ball Podcast with big opinions, bold predictions and plenty of football banter.

In our opening episode, we get stuck into the Manchester Derby’s VAR controversy, unpack the weekend’s Premier League results and ask what the early table tells us. Who’s looking the real deal—and who’s already reaching for the excuses?

We assess the summer spending, debate which new signings are delivering value and put the traditional Big Six under the microscope. There’s also time for our biggest surprises and disappointments, predictions at both ends of the table, and a look ahead to the next round of fixtures.

New season. New podcast. Nobody’s getting an easy ride.

Follow The Long Ball Podcast and join the debate—because football doesn’t end at the final whistle.
