After another double header of what ifs and if onlys, the lads convene to try and make sense of it all. We go from a rear of the year update to allegations of crawling up the backside of a prominent manager as we analyse Damien Duff's woes, the unexpected spat with the omnipresent Stephen Bradley and the aborted Aviva experiment. There's Galway recriminations, another happy week on the Bohsometer, some old and young men to watch and and another unfortunate bout of accidental blasphemy. We then go north to Derry to listen to Mark Connolly explaining why a bit of team bonding helped a season that was in danger of going south. All of this sanctioned fun is brought to you in association with our friends at Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, Sport Cosanta and Future Ticketing.

This weeks podcast does exactly as the title suggests.Ste and Ben are here to look back on a busy Easter Weekend for the Auld Reds. Draws for Damien Duff's side left the lads feeling confident, satisfied and frustrated, while a 7-0 victory for our WPD side certainly boosted morale for everyone involved. We also have our Richie Ranking's, some listener comments and Ben is angry again.

We almost needed 90 minutes to get through a weekend where every club played 180 minutes in a league that is going the full 360 in terms of storylines. Since our last show, we've had several open letters, one managerial departure, two injury time goals for the ages and the death of a pontiff. And that's before we even get to Marc Canham. We eventually manage to do that after hearing a little bit of John Caulfield and Damien Duff and more about the Galway United old lads Whatsapp group. There's a bit of Mauro Picotto, the mandatory Father Ted nostalgia, a Jeff Bezos tribute in Drogheda and Louth being very proud. Throw in Johnny's fine dining update and speculation about a managerial party that will never happen and this Future Ticketing, Sport Cosanta, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewing sponsored bonanza might just qualify for the good 15pc that makes the other 85pc of life worth it.

Hello Rank Squad!Something a little bit different this week, a little bit more out of the old school B/R Football Ranks playbook, as we do a live ranking of the world's footballing superstars in the current day and age - based on both their star power, their influence on their teams, and their form so far in this season. The first debate is what makes a 'superstar' - shirt sales? Goal and assist numbers? Global adoration? Once that's out of the way, we take ten names and try to order them in terms of where they fit in the current pantheon - are the days of Ronaldo and Messi dominating the landscape completely gone? Are the dynamic duo of Mbappé and Haaland now dominant? Or have others like Vinicius Jr and Lamine Yamal disrupted the situation so much that they now sit at the forefront? We discuss it all. Before that though, there's time for Things We Love, where this week we're talking about Fulham's dramatic West London Derby win over Brentford thanks to two stoppage time goals from Harry WIlson, as well as Damien Duff leading Shelbourne to a dramatic League of Ireland title in his first senior job in managament. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

All eyes were on Ireland it seemed this week as Damien Duff led Shelbourne to a historic League of Ireland win, just three seasons after promotion in a campaign which captured hearts around the world.Fresh off of ignoring Duffers facetime post league win, Jose Mourinho was letting loose with an 8+ minute rant on VAR, the Turkish league, the stink of the place and everything in between.In a surprising move Arsenal Director and primary Arteta backer Edu announced he is set to leave Arsenal for his dream job of taking Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos to new heights.Is it time to tell who is going to win the Premier League?And finally, thanks for coming Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but let that be the end of you and your ilk (successful club legends) at Man United.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Could Nottingham Forest get to Europe & as Edu leaves Arsenal what's next for Mikel Arteta? Mark Chapman is joined by Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Shay Given as they focus on Forest, who are third in the Premier League table - their highest league position since the early stages of the 98/99 season. They ask where it is going right for the club – especially after the news that Edu has resigned from his Sporting Director role at Arsenal, with multiple reports saying he is to join the network of clubs spearheaded by Evangelos Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest owner.Attention then turns to Mikel Arteta and what the departure of Edu would mean for him at the club. And the guys look at Manchester City after Pep Guardiola's side lost to Bournemouth on the weekend – and try and dissect where the issues might be. And if that wasn't enough Shay gives the guys an insight into the League of Ireland title race – which was decided on Friday night with Shelbourne winning the league for the first time in 18 years, giving Damien Duff the first trophy of his managerial career….and also how Duff's side is going from strength to strength even after one of their key players left to go on Love Island!Commentaries on 5 live and Sports Extra this week: Tuesday 5 November CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen 2000 KO.

The lads have their say.  One team who won't be winning the title is Derry City, the lads discuss the fallout from their title flop.  Meanwhile, Finn Harps chairman Ian Harkin joins the lads for a long overdue serious discussion on the proposed slashing and perhaps even total removal of UEFA solidarity payments to First Division clubs.  In BTS's continued commitment to the First Division, the lads also discuss the latest goings on in the playoffs!  Sponsored by QuinnAv.ie

It's Jerry Maguire time in the League of Ireland and before we run away with ourselves it's also awards time as the Premier Division team of the season as voted by the players is revealed by Stephen McGuinness on his annual trip into the Oliver studio. He's brought a happy Mark Coyle in with him and we chat about his journey to recognition before we dust down the phone line to dial up some other team members. Around all of that we jibber jabber about the greatest run in of all time, fights in Oriel, Damien Duff on muddy ice, Galway's trip to Rascals, and THAT goal in Drogheda in front of THAT housing estate. There's a guest reveal for the sold out live show, news on how you can compete for the two final tickets, and a broader debate with Stephen about the financial landscape of our league. Thanks, as always to Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Lily's Childcare and Future Ticketing for bringing us this far. It's episode 37 and we hope it gets your vote.

Who'd have thought we could do such a weather dominated show without Johnny? Our spiritual leader is absent but there's plenty to rabbit on about this week, with Graham Gartland stepping in to shoot the breeze with Dan about the dark clouds that hovered over Dundalk. In a Dundalk dominated mailbag, Dan warns that the future forecast remains uncertain. Then, we go Stateside for some hailstorms, or to the manager of Northern Colorado Hailstorm to be precise with Eamon Zayed dialling in for his LOI Central debut to discuss his new life in the USA, and a stormy relationship with Garts during their Hurricane Doolin years. Beyond that, there's a few drops of Damien Duff and the closest thing to Malen Head to Mizen Head in terms of guest representation with voices from Derry, Sligo and Waterford drizzled across a busy show that we couldn't do without being under the umbrella of Lily's Childcare, Rascals Brewing, Future Ticketing & Collar & Cuff. It's episode 32 and the wind is crying Mary, or at least that's what it sounds like!

Galway United take a break from the league this weekend when they travel to Shelbourne in the last-16 of the men's FAI Cup on Friday (16th August 2024). United were semi-finalists last season but the Reds reached the decider in 2022. They've met three times in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division already this season and Damien Duff's charges have taken the two results at home - the last in June when first half goals from John Martin and Evan Caffrey secured a 2-0 win. Leading up to the Galway, John Caulfield, whose first game as Galway United manager was a  5-2 FAI Cup defeat to Shelbourne back in 2020, chatted to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at Tolka Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' here on Galway Bay FM. The 'Over The Line' weekend preview show with Darren Kelly broadcasts every Friday evening from 7pm on Galway Bay FM.

Send your your thoughts, opinions or feedback on any topics discussed on our podcastsOn this week's podcast with Luke Jordan, Macdara Ferris is back on once again to discuss the latest action in the League of Ireland.  A slightly different opening to the show this week as Macdara discusses his time in Paris at the 2024 Olympic Games, giving his thoughts on the games, the events, and the overall spectacle. You can read all about it in his latest postcard on extratime.com. The lads then dissect the latest action from Irish teams in Europe as Shamrock Rovers and St. Pats both have huge games this week with a chance Europa League and Conference League play offs on the horizon. With Shelbourne, Derry, and Shamrock Rovers all stuttering, does anyone want to win the Premier Divison this year?We also hear from Stephen Bradley, Kevin Doherty, and Damien Duff this week. Finally, to get in touch, send your thoughts to the new extratime.com WhatsApp number - 089 429 5932.Support the Show.

Send your your thoughts, opinions or feedback on any topics discussed on our podcastsIt has been a busy week of football action, and Friday night saw a number of interesting ties in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division as well as a full round of fixtures in the First Division. Meanwhile, in Norwich, the Republic of Ireland Women's Team faced England in a Euro 2025 qualifier.The latest episode of the Extratime.com Voice Notes podcast, hosted by Oisín Langan, provides a round-up of all of Friday night's action and reflections from reporters at some of the games.With three Irish teams in midweek European action, there was a reduced number of matches in the Men's Premier Division, but fewer games certainly did not mean less drama, and there were plenty of moments of magic across the evening.In Dalymount Park, with newly appointed Republic of Ireland Men's Manager Heimir Hallgrímsson as an interested spectator, Sligo Rovers (playing with 10 men for almost an hour after Stephen Mallon was shown a second yellow card) claimed a 2-0 victory over Bohemians courtesy of an Ellis Chapman brace.The second goal for the Bit o' Red was a memorable one and sealed a third win on the bounce for John Russell's side, following recent victories over defending champions Shamrock Rovers and second-place Derry City. Extratime.com's Patrick O'Connor was reporting from Phibsboro, and he spoke to Oisín on the podcast.Meanwhile, Paul Corcoran joined Oisín from Eamon Deacy Park in Galway, where there was joy too for the other team in the West as John Caulfield's Galway United defeated an in-form Waterford side by one goal to nil.The Blues had started well since the mid-season break with two victories and two clean sheets against Dundalk and St. Pat's, but a 24th-minute goal from Patrick Hickey - his first of the season - was the difference between the sides in Galway. Both teams have impressed in their first season back in the top flight, and as it stands, Waterford occupy third spot in the league table with Galway United in fifth (although The Tribesmen do have a game in hand).It proved to be a great night for those in maroon and white as Galway FC women's star Julie-Ann Russell scored Ireland's only goal at Carrow Road - one that will be important for the team's seeding for the playoffs.Elsewhere, the night's only other Premier Division clash saw the league's bottom two sides meet in what was billed as one of the biggest-ever Louth Derbies.Both Dundalk and Drogheda United are battling to avoid relegation, and this match took on huge significance with both teams seeking to secure a valuable three points. Dundalk, having succumbed to two successive defeats, knew that a win would extend the gap between themselves and their neighbours to five points, whilst for Kevin Doherty's side, a win would see them leapfrog the Lilywhites.The game produced six goals, and former Dundalk captain John Flanagan, who was on co-commentary duty for LOI TV, gives us his thoughts on the game in this week's Voice Notes podcast.Oisín also caught up with Extratime.com's Ronan MacNamara, who was in Tolka Park on Thursday night as Shelbourne made a long-awaited return to European action.After 18 years without a game in a European Competition, the Reds hosted St. Joseph's of Gibraltar. Damien Duff's side emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, with goals from Mark Coyle and Will Jarvis. The Reds got off to a dream start with Coyle's goal coming after just 27 seconds.Having conceded a corner approaching the end of the first half, the sides were level at the break, but a Will Jarvis spot-kick in the 57th minute earned The Reds an important win.

This week on Inside Southern Miss Athletics, the Voice of the Golden Eagles, John Cox, visits with Lee Applewhite, the Associate Athletic Director for Development, to discuss a number of things that are happening in and around Golden Eagle athletics. Cox also sits down to talk with Damien Duff, the Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and head basketball coach Jay Ladner.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 17 sees Johnny flummoxed by a 'Legal Blonde' from a Sunday night on the northside that plunges him into a Monday morning Big Brother dystopian reality. Unlike Clough and Taylor, it's a big week for Damien Duff and his football wife as they keep on keeping on to stay ahead of the posse at the top of the league, we discuss can they stay there and try not to keep mentioning Galway. We welcome Dundalk legend Jurgen Klopp - sorry it's Dane Massey - into our Oliver studios to ask where his 2016 team would finish in the 2024 table, analyse the state of his former club and take a trip down memory lane ahead of a Kenny v Caulfield reunion. There's cycling in Kerry, pints on the over 35 circuit, Portuguese training camps with Cork City, and a mailbag that includes Shamrock Rovers' loan policy, LOI Central's erratic social media strategy, and a fresh slant on Johnny's inability to haggle in a designer store. All of this bumper episode is brought to you under the supervision of Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Lilly's Childcare and not any overpriced, over-marketed, over hyped designer label. Overhyped, is just something we wouldn't do!

We've a warchest of stories and an infusion of intellectual capital in this weeks episode. Johnny introduces the Right shoe diaries to Damien Duff in between bouts of cat strangling orgasms and earth burning Gaza rants on short lived marriages. Dan ruminates on what a world would look like if football was golf, introduces Shelabrations to a new world lexicon and takes Louth Dad jokes to another level. A not quite sexagenarian Johnny McDonnell drops by our Oliver Studios to weigh in on the Stephen Kenny at St. Pat's story and why O'Donnell at Bohs is a logical move. There's the usual mailbag dissections and presidential ruminations and although none of our sponsors do custom made laptop bags, the good people at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Lilly's Childcare and Rascals Brewery do, to their utmost credit, make all of the chaos seem a little bit ordered. It's episode 16, it's nostalgic, it's giddy and, as always, it's striving for relevance.

So where do we start? The lads reflect on the maddest week of League of Ireland news since last week, with the Stephen Kenny flirtation with a League of Ireland return prompting a review of our St Patrick's Athletic perceptions. Noel King's 25 day stint as Dundalk manager is over, but the legacy of the day may be a tweet that the internet will never forget. In another bulging mailbag, there's talk of political football and Dail visits, the saving of Tolka Park, a new spate of ten match bans and the mystery of Aurora Borealis - and no you won't find him on Wyscout. We then divert to a man who lit up the league before his departure last year with Jack Moylan dialling in to discuss Damien Duff, LOI watch parties in Lincoln & the truth about League One. As Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Lilly's Childcare and Future Ticketing scramble their lawyers to pore over the transcripts, our advice is to listen now before something else happens or everything is deleted!

Like Eric B. and Rakim, Sonny and Cher, and The White Stripes, all good duets must come to an end, if even only for a week. Don't fret listeners as soon as the sponsorship cash rolls in Dan will be back strumming harder than Garfunkel in Central Park next week. So for one week only Garry Doyle steps into the virtual studio to mull over the season so far, the always growing Damien Duff phenomenon and his formative years as an Arsenal fan in the six counties. The Collar and Cuff mailbag is bursting with opinions from Galway for Europe, Roblox LOI, and whether or not Dalymount is more political than Kildare Street. Johnny gets feedback on his stance on chicken rolls, and his quality of football tips, and we have a chat with Finn Harps chairman Ian Harkin on the new stadium plans that were just announced. At just over an hour we're certainly not the never ending story and if you've any complaints please direct them to the lovely people at Collar and Cuff, Future Ticketing, Lilly's Childcare and Rascals Brewery. It's an even dozen and it's live!

As Hildegarde whips up a storm in Leinster house, storms play havoc with pitches and we finally realise that 8 seasons of this malarkey is completely redundant in the face of the Damien Duff renaissance, there's a gloomy outlook to this weeks pod. Ciaran Kilduff drops in to our Oliver Marketing studio to dissect the big news story of Stephen O'Donnell's termination as well as turning down numerous job offers from Johnny to stay at Athlone. Our Collar and Cuff mailbag is full of your opinions on pitches, Dundalk and the identity of our American continuity announcer who just released a new album. There's a 'best finisher' debate, institutionalism in dressing rooms, the value of an away fan and when public conversations should be private. All of the round ups and previews are in partnership with our sponsors who now have grown to include Lily's Childcare along with the stalwarts of defence, Future Ticketing, Collar and Cuff and Rascals Brewery. It's episode 9 and its a wee bit later than normal..

March of many weathers hasn't really lived up to its reputation and the constant rain has left sodden pitches countrywide for an Easter double header. While Duffer, once he gets out of Johnny's head, bemoans the state of said pitches, and threatens to produce his own "straight story" on his Da's ride on, there's a missing interview and a catch up with Jon Daly and Ruaidhri Higgins before we welcome Barry Murphy and his geometric geographical analysis of when a goalkeeper is not a goalkeeper and when 53 degrees north of the penalty spot isn't spot on. In the Collar & Cuff mailbag the lads discuss the biggest LOI crowd this century and explain why 'These Are Days' we'll remember even though 10,000 maniacs weren't in attendance and offer their take on O'Donnell and why Dundalk needed a UCD this season. As Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewery continue to nonchalantly sign off on this pod we also ask whats more relevant than a Damien Duff nothing story, what's it like to be a number 2, and what is Bob Dylan whispering to Johnny's unborn child. The Times they are a-Changin' but episode 8 is just more of the same.

Here's another chance to hear my interview with Damien Duff from season one.In part two, Damien describes working under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, and scoring in an incredible battle with Barcelona. Mourinho's seven-page dossiers on his opponents were grist to the mill for this keen student of the game. There's also great stuff about how Fulham manager Roy Hodgson plucked him from an unhappy spell at Newcastle and gave him a new lease of life at the wonderful Craven Cottage.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.

Here's another chance to hear my interview with Damien Duff from season one.In part one, Damien describes how as a kid he instinctively knew to practice for hours alone to develop his ball skills. He tells about cleaning Tim Sherwood's boots and struggling with homesickness as a youngster at Blackburn. It was all character building, and at the FIFA World Youth Championships in 1997, where Ireland finished third, Damien knew in his heart that he was going to make it.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.
