We are back in Oliver's offices to discuss a week that delivered an unwelcome twist for Drogheda United with the excitement of the European draws leaving the Boynesiders with a bitter aftertaste.

We talk dressing room songs, tinfoil hats, relentless Rovers and much more before we dial up our old pal Ruaidhri Higgins who discusses life in Coleraine, scotches a ‘lazy' transfer rumour and then gives us the rundown on Shels v Linfield before we finish the show with the Grok/Athlone/Ulysses mash up that nobody wanted. This beefy effort is brought to you in association with Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, Future Ticketing & Sport Cosanta.

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?

The Michael Anthony Show returns with a solo Episode for 182, in which a variety of topics are discussed. The US presidential race, education, celebrity culture, parenthood, Damien Duff and Man Utd are all delved into, with music from Bill Fay also featuring. Tune in.Support the show

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.

Here we are then, it's the final week of the Premier Division season and the title will stay in Dublin but will it be a historic 5-in-a-row for Rovers or will Damien Duff deliver the holy grail to Tolka? 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.

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.
