Stevo is joined as usual by Vinny Perth and Gareth McGlynn for this week's LOI Pod, where they trade memories of the late Ollie Horgan, discuss Shels and Rovers' European runs, and much more! The League of Ireland Pod on Off The Ball with Rockshore 0.0
It's our 2006 season special, with then-manager Pat Scully making a guest appearance in the Four Provinces in front of a live audience. Pat remembers assembling a young team from scratch to take Rovers up from the First Division at the first attempt, training at Stanaway Park up the road in Crumlin, the importance of the opening day win over Dundalk, his speech in Cobh after winning the title, Cup final suits and the Arsenal influence, getting a Bohs and Sunderland B team manager sacked, the Waterford bus story and more, Rovers fans in his taxi over the years and more.
On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 25th and the 29th August (Episodes #11,653 - 11,658). Sorry, we couldn't help it - this episode does get somewhat ranty towards the beginning thanks to Corrie's insane decision to publish spoilers about the massive twist in Friday's episode first thing in the morning, thus ruining the surprise for anyone foolish enough to scroll social media rather whilst munching on their Weetabix rather than switching straight to ITVX. And it was a great twist too! Definitely something that we're interested in seeing the fallout from at Number 13... Anyway, that wasn't even the main focus of the week - that particular spotlight, of course, falls on Asha, who had a bit of a mare of a day to flash back to on Monday, and on the same week that we're saying goodbye to the lovely Aadi, too! Also this week, Theo ramps up his control of Todd when he bans him from seeing Billy, whilst over at the Rovers - praise be! - Christina's back in town, and Jenny's feeling more than a little suspicious of her motives... Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, and we chat a bit about Adam Hussain's latest short film, Spice For Life, which made its way onto YouTube this week, and we round off the show with some feedback, including one listener's personal ranking of all the Rovers owners over the years - now that's a discussion we can really get behind!

Shane Hannon is joined by Keith Treacy and Arthur O'Dea for Friday's morning papers, on the morning after the night before, where Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne created history by defeating Santa Clara and Linfield as two Irish sides reach the group stages of European Football for the very first time. Off The Ball Breakfast is brought to you by UPMC #GetBackInAction
Thursday night could see two Irish clubs qualify for the group phase of a European competition for the first time in the one season. One half of that quest - Shamrock Rovers' 2nd leg of their Conference League playoff with Santa Clara - will be live on Off The Ball. Ahead of that game, OTB's Nathan Murphy spoke to Rovers manager Stephen Bradley and midfielder Danny Mandroiu.
