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.

Following the concession of two goals in injury time at home to Galway on Friday, Drogheda United boss Kevin Doherty joins us for an extended chat on this week's show. The former Shels boss recaps that crazy game on Friday, updates us on Warren Davis's injury, discusses tactics, the competitive nature of the league and why the LOI is being viewed in a totally different light by younger people these days.

A spirited Dundalk match league leaders Shelbourne but ultimately fail to turn possession into goals leaving the Oriel clash with the league leaders as a 0-0 stalemate. A promising start to the weekend ends deflatingly with a very damaging defeat to 10 man Drogheda United. Jethren Barr's 76 minute dismissal followed by Jamie Gullen's set piece equaliser had the Lilywhites in the driving seat only for Drogheda to steal the points from an injury time free kick leaving Dundalk rooted to the bottoms of the table.

It's already Galway United's fifth game in this year's SSE Airtricity League Premier Division as they host Drogheda United on Friday (8th March 2024). The Tribesmen are currently in fourth place on six points after going down to Shelbourne 1-0 on Monday. Drogheda United picked their first points with a 2-1 victory against Bohemians and are three places behind their opponents. They haven't met in the league since 2020 when Drogheda United beat Galway twice on their way to promotion but both clubs will have a different outlook regarding playing personnel. Killian Brouder is likely to be Galway's only survivor. Stephen Walsh returns from a three-game suspension but Colm Horgan (knee) looks set to miss out. Leading up the game, Galway United manager John Caulfield has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' on Galway Bay FM.
Following last week's success against Dundalk, Galway United are back on home turf this Friday (1st March 2024) when they host Waterford in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division. Both teams were newly promoted this season but have already made an impact. While United are on 3 points in fifth place, the Munster side top the table for the first time in 19 years following their 4-1 trouncing of Drogheda United. The Tribesmen took 10 points from a possible 12 against Waterford in the First Division last season but Keith Long's side boast a host of new signings in 2024. Leading up to the game, Galway United manager John Caulfield has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' here on Galway Bay FM.
Last week's trivia might have been a failure but this week we bring you Trivela, the prospective new owners of Drogheda United who give us their first big interview since stating their intention to take over the Boynesiders. Benjamin Boycott and Wesley Hill dial in from the USA to discuss their plans with Dan, a long call with investors who say they're in it for the long haul. Johnny was dining with our sponsors at the ‘Aviva' but as we try to move past the international window, we hear from James McClean on an initiative that should be relevant to both the LOI and the national team. Beyond that, we've got the usual mailbag japes featuring Canadian club names, political disinterest, Dan's dodgy eyesight and Johnny's attempts to diagnose if anyone involved with Shamrock Rovers is actually happy. Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing and Collar and Cuff have all submitted affidavits that they were not responsible for the burning rice, but they were responsible for episode 36. Enjoy!
