S4E19: The Final Crescendo of the NIFL Season: Irish Cup Review and Split Discussion with Callum McFadden
World Football Index writer Callum McFadden joins Grant for a bumper Campbell's Footballs episode.
It's the final countdown to an enthralling NIFL Season. The Irish Cup will be between Cliftonville and Linfield. How did the Reds secure a magnificent win over high flying Larne. How did Jim Magilton's side get it done? Why did it not happen for the Inver Men?
We turn to events at The Oval. Linfield exact revenge on Glentoran for December's hammering. How massive is Kyle McClean? Did Glentoran freeze in their "cup final"?
Who will win the Irish Cup 2023/24?
The Split is about to kick off with a lot of mouthwatering games and plenty on the line. Larne exact revenge on the Reds with a great win at Solitude. What did they do differently from the Irish Cup defeat? Are Tiernan Lynch's men favourites for back to back titles?
Linfield aren't going away. Another gritty win for Healy's men but do they still have deficiencies that can be exploited? How massive has Ethan McGee been?
We examine the split run in on both sides with the bottom half also discussed. Who will win the title? Secure 4th? Secure 7th? Go down? It's all discussed!
This show is dedicated to Barry Gray as he battles with cancer and has had to step away as manager as Newry City for the time being. Barry, we all wish you a speedy recovery here on Campbell's Footballs.

Customer Reviews
Some of the best Irish league content around
A fantastic show that covers the Irish league across all levels. A great listen every time.
Excellent podcast with a top class presenter!
Campbell’s Footballs is an entertaining podcast with a wide range of guests from the world of football. I always enjoy hearing from the lower level footballers all the way up to the professional players and pundits. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it 👍
Graham Hunter
As a huge dons fan I’m extremely disappointed with the Graham Hunter episode. I recognise that your a budding podcaster who’s just starting out but how on earth can you expect people to listen to such a poor quality broadcast. It’s staggering really. I’ve tried a few of your other episodes, although slightly better still of a very poor quality. Your style is also very off putting tbh, you’d be better hosting a 70’s game show.
