John from Kildare almost blew it for everyone in the audience
Former Westlife melody-maker Nicky Byrne momentarily distracted the nation from tearing strips off the Late Late Show’s new, Americana set.
Byrne, who briefly enjoyed a career as a goalkeeper with Leeds United and Cobh Ramblers, was tasked with stopping three penalties from Kildare native, John. Swank holidays were on offer to the studio audience if the denim-clad Lilywhite could find the net three times from six yards out.

Inside word from Montrose is that a Liverpool scout was spotted, furiously scribbling on an RTE notepad, in Row J.
