Shelbourne legend Owen Heary and ex-League of Ireland goalkeeper Barry Murphy joined Colm Boohig and John Duggan on Thursday's Off The Ball Breakfast. Following last night's 1-0 win for Shelbourne against Linfield in a Champions League qualifier, the lads assessed what was ultimately a good result for the League of Ireland champions.

The lads also got stuck into the differences that exist between playing and management, and how the former can influence the latter.
