SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Mike Rafferty after their 2-0 Premier Division defeat to St. Patrick's Athletic

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.

Interview by Dee Curran

SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their FAI Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Shelbourne

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.

Boos ring out at the final whistle as a toothless Dundalk slump to a 2 - 0 home defeat to John Caulfield's Galway Utd. Basic errors at the back and an inability to create or convert chances are evident again. With Drogheda's draw with Bohemians further eroding Dundalk lead of their neighbours, fans face an anxious few week to see if the Lilywhites slump in form can be arrested.

The boys are sort of back in town, if not in the same room, as post-Euros Dan reflects on the contrast between the glory of Germany and the survival instincts of Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght on Tuesday night. Johnny was there for the great escape, catching words with Johnny Kenny, the hero of the first half hour, before waking on Wednesday to confirmation that Galway United have eventually tempted one of their wild geese back home. Johnny talks European ambitions with Greg Cunningham and the difficulties of the chase with John Caulfield. In a busy week of storylines, the lads discuss new signings, increased spending, grappling with teams from Gibraltar and whether lawyers or League of Ireland players represent better value for money. All of this is wrapped into a cost effective hour or so with the help of our friends at Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, Lily's Childcare and Future Ticketing.

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.

Galway United are back on the road again this Friday (7th June 2024) when they travel to Derry City in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division. This is the Tribesmen's second trip up north this season and they came back from Derry in March with a 1-0 win thanks to Stephen Walsh's late goal. Despite defeat to St. Patrick's Athletic last week, Galway United have benefitted from a nine-game unbeaten run beforehand to currently sit in fifth spot on on 27 points, eight behind second placed Derry City but with three games in hand. But the Candystripes, who include Loughrea's Pat Hoban (10 Premier Division goals this year), in their attack, and have only lost twice since in their last 14 games (both against Shamrock Rovers). Leading up to the game, Galway United manager John Caulfield has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at the Ryan McBride Brandywell on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' here on Galway Bay FM.

SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their 2-1 Premier Division defeat to St. Patrick's Athletic

Galway United will go 10 games unbeaten in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division this Friday (31st May 2024) if they avoid defeat to Stephen Kenny's St. Patrick's Athletic. It's a repeat of the opening game of the season when the Inchicore side nicked a 1-0 victory in Eamonn Deacy Park thanks to a Jamie Lennon third minute goal. But the Saints have struggled for form since bringing in the ex-Ireland manager three games ago to replace Jon Daly.  And they currently sit in seventh spot on 20 points, seven behind Galway in fourth who have two games in hand. The last time Galway United played St. Pat's in a competitive game away from home, goals from Jonah Aynunga and Eoin McCormack sent the Tribesmen into the FAI Cup quarter-finals following a 2-0 win in August 2017. Goals in either half from Jonah Ayunga and Eoin McCormack sent Galway United in the Quarter-Final of the FAI Cup. == Kick-off at Richmond Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have full coverage on our website galwaybayfm.ie.

The SSE Airtricity League Premier Division reaches the end of the first quarter this Saturday (6th April) when Galway United travel to Sligo Rovers. The Tribesmen have picked up 10 points in their previous eight outings, sitting in seventh place following their 2-0 defeat at home against Bohemians last Monday. Sligo are in second spot but have just two points more than Galway. While the Connacht clubs regularly meet in pre-season friendlies, this is their first competitive league clash since September 2017 when the maroon and white were 3-1 victors in Eamonn Deacy Park.  The teams drew 1-1 at the Showgrounds the previous April. Leading up to the game, Galway United manager John Caulfield has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at the Showgrounds on Saturday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

FOOTBALL: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their 1-0 Premier Division win over Derry City

After a week off, Galway United are back in SSE Airtricity League Premier Division action on Friday (29th March 2024) when they travel to the Ryan McBride Brandywell to play Derry City. Loughrea's Pat Hoban is the league's top scorer with six goals for Derry City, two more than Galway United have managed in total over the six games so far.  The Candystripes are in second place on 11 points, with Galway in fifth on seven points. It's their first meeting since September 2017 when goals from Kevin Devaney and Stephen Folan gave Galway United a 2-1 win in Eamonn Deacy Park.  Derry were 2-1 victors in the Brandywell the previous June. Leading up to the game, Galway United manager John Caulfield caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at the Ryan McBride Brandywell on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

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.

It's antsy managers ahoy in episode four, as we trawl through the Zapruder film of the rainy nights in stadiums around the country. At Tolka, Johnny caught up with one of the less antsy ones, John Caulfield, after Galway United's narrow defeat to league leaders Shelbourne. Our Collar and Cuff mailbag comes chock full of conspiracy theories, manager angst, goalkeeping concerns and refereeing observations from a grassy Donegal knoll. Johnny got his goalkeeper fix in too when he caught up with Conor Kearns from Shelbourne. Before Dan considers if the uncertain climate around goalkeepers has been created by an uncertain climate. Not afraid of tackling the big debates we look at where our LOI stoppers might feature in the Kinder Bueno v Dairy Milk equation, speculate on new gigs for special treats Roddy Collins and Stephen Kenny and wonder if there are any Robbie Williams' out there that wouldn't improve Dundalk's flaky rearguard. It's one of THOSE episodes that continue to be sanctioned by the good folk at Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewery so even though the sky is a hazy shade of winter, put on your headphones in your room and enjoy what was a truly Manic Monday!

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.
