Stephen Doyle was in Galway as league leaders Shamrock Rovers defeated Galway United 1-3 on Friday Night in the League of Ireland. He spoke with Rovers Boss Stephen Bradley and Galway manager John Caulfield after the game!

Two early goals conceded proved costly for Galway United in the SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division as their winless run against Shamrock Rovers increased to 40 games at Eamonn Deacy Park (8th May 2026). Michael Noonan and Adam Brennan gave the visitors a 2-0 interval advantage before Matty Wolfe put United back in contention three minutes after the restart.  However, Tummise Sobowale guaranteed the points would go to Tallaght on 73 minutes. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers. == Galway United's next game is away to Sligo Rovers on Saturday, 16th May.  Kick-off at the Showgrounds is 7.45pm.

Dan is reunited with Johnny this week for a remote rundown of the talking points raised by the Bank Holiday weekend. Have Bohs forgotten how to win? Does complacency explain the Shamrock Rovers crowds? What's happening with Cork City? What does Waterford's appointment of Graham Coughlan say about the road ahead? Our mailbag included a fair few Kian Leavy related observations and Johnny spoke with St Pat's playmaker Chris Forrester about the rough treatment handed out to his team-mate and his own personal quest for 100 club goals. It's a serious conversation that's more relevant than irreverent and it's brought to you by our friends at Collar & Cuff, Planify, Future Ticketing, O'Reilly Sports and Rascals Brewing.
