The football split in Northern Ireland – who is kicking with the wrong foot?

The Long and the Short of It

Available for over a year

Tim McGarry, a six foot four comedian, joins vertically challenged Orangeman and historian, Dr David Hume, to look at a number of fascinating historical incidents and people in Irish history. The unlikely duo investigates well known historical events from different perspectives, to give the listener the long and the short of it. In this final episode in the eighth series, they pull the goalie gloves off and get stuck into the game of association football in Northern Ireland. Tim and David examine the history of the beautiful game between the two rival associations with the help of some experts who know a thing or two about manoeuvring the pitch, including sports historians Dr Cormac Moore and Professor David Hassan, as well as former president of the Irish FA, Jim Boyce OBE.
