SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Jonathan Higgins after their 1-1 Premier Division draw with Shelbourne

We're back indoors at Oliver Ireland wondering if we're going to be outdoors anywhere this weekend after another interrupted League of Ireland Friday. 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. Season and league structure and the difficulties of recruitment are recurring themes in conversations that prove that it's a test out west. In addition to that we've got a packed mailbag that brings us from killing fields to artificial fields, and gambling partners to Bohs strike partners amongst other talking points that we wouldn't be able to bring to you withour our friends at Rascals, Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing and Planify

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.

Two weeks after they secured their SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division spot, Galway Bay FM commentators Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers joined Darren Kelly on Friday's 'Over The Line' to look back on Galway United's season and what lies ahead for John Caulfield's charges (14th November 2025). They reflect on Moses Dyer's impact and Stephen Walsh's record appearances, the sadness with the passing of Ollie Horgan, the performances that led to a relegation battle, the character shown to survive and what lies ahead in 2026. We were also joined by Galway Bay FM's Sean Carley, LIVE from Budapest, as Republic of Ireland fans travel in their droves to Hungary following Thursday's win over Portugal at the Aviva Stadium.

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. Kerry FC's heroic exploits take top billing, but there's a heavy Sligo Rovers angle to that drama too while Johnny was down at Richmond Park to hear from Kian Leavy and John Caulfield after St Patrick's Athletic got the better of Galway. Dan details a dramatic night in Drogheda and there's a bit of Derry chat too in a crowded mailbag that includes TV statistics, Israel, the DUP and why the difficult child has become the FAI's favourite distraction. In a week of 4-3 wins, we remain grateful to our four sponsors who make this happen consistently - our friends at Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewing, Collar & Cuff and Sport Cosanta

SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their 1-0 Premier Division defeat to Drogheda United

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.

SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Mike Rafferty after their 2-1 Premier Division victory over Cork City

Galway United aim to get back on track after three defeats in the men's SSE Airtricity League Premier Division on Friday (16th May 2025) when they host Sligo Rovers. John Caulfield's side won 2-1 away in April, but haven't secured a home victory over their Connacht rivals since 2017.  Recent back-to-back braces led to Moses Dyer being named the SSE Airtricity League Men's Player of the Month. Leading up to the game, Moses Dyer joined manager John Caulfield at a media event in Eamonn Deacy Park to look ahead to the game with Sligo Rovers and they spoke to assembled media including Galway Bay FM's Mike Rafferty. == Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE on ‘Over The Line' on Galway Bay FM.

Reece Hutchinson's 69th-minute goal condemned Galway United to a fourth straight SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division defeat in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (16th May 2025). It means John Caulfield's side remain in eighth place on 20 points, nine behind leaders Shamrock Rovers.  But they now hold just an eight-point advantage on Cork City and Sligo Rovers. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers. == Galway United's next game is at home to Cork City on Friday, 23rd May.  Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' on Galway Bay FM.

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.

This week we discuss Eric's recent escapades, as well as the incredibly successful Mythic Legions Beyithirr campaign. Join Mike, Noah, Eric, and JoeBro as we go over recent acquisitions, projects and anything else they get distracted by. Buckle up and get your ears ready for the editing magic of John Caulfield of The Euro Legions Podcast fame as he graciously agreed to help us as Wy is out. Thanks John! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Galway United club captain Conor McCormack was this week's special guest on 'Over The Line' (Monday, 31st March 2025). The Louth man has been in Eamonn Deacy Park for five years and helped the Tribesmen gain promotion back to the Premier Division.  The 2017 Premier Division and FAI Cup winner under John Caulfield at Cork City has also represented both Manchester United and the Republic of Ireland at youth level. He was chatting to Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh. == 'Over The Line' with George McDonagh broadcasts every Monday evening from 8pm on Galway Bay FM.
