John Caufield joins us from Galway where a frustrating start to the season has followed a challenging winter, while Tommy Barrett dials in after an an agonising loss to Cork City on Friday.

Following their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Drogheda United last week, Galway United are on the road this Friday (13th February 2026) to St. Patrick's Athletic. It's not been a happy hunting ground for John Caulfield's men in recent times, having drawn twice and lost three times in their last five visits, including last year's FAI Cup quarter-final after extra-time. Galway United last won in Inchicore in the FAI Cup in 2017, but their last league victory was a 3-1 success in March 2026 thanks to goals from Vinny Faherty, John Sullivan and Enda Curran. Vinny Faherty, who represented the club in four spells between 2007 and 2020, scored nearly 50 goals during his Galway United career and also represented St. Patrick's Athletic on two occasions.  He's been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and they started by looking back on the Drogheda game. == Kick-off at Richmond Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' on Galway Bay FM.

We are back after an international break to forget and savouring a weekend to remember in the FAI Cup unless you happen to be from Connacht.

Won't somebody think of the football? After a day dominated by the latest Bohs jersey launch and another famous face performing an acting masterclass at the Cross, Dan and Johnny try to merge Tuesday's box office activity with the oft forgotten events on the pitch. This wide-ranging session brings us from Oasis to Odubeko, and from Keane to Keena while there's also enough there for the obsessives – be they journalists or non-Shels fans – who can still hear the sound of Duff. We hear from Joey O'Brien about a relationship that will live forever, while John Caulfield tells us the story behind Moses relocating half the world away and the lads also analyse the reasons behind Douglas James Taylor just yesterday morning letting Drogheda know he was gone. All these shoehorned song lyrics are brought to you in association with our friends at Sport Cosanta, Collar and Cuff, Future Ticketing and Rascals Brewing. Lame jokes? Yes but, by now, you should have somehow realised what we were going to do.
