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.
Last weekend, former Ireland international and premier league star Damien Duff sent shock waves through Irish football when he announced he was resigning as manager of Shelbourne FC.In a statement, the Tolka Park club said it was “regretfully” announcing Duff's departure.“While all at Shelbourne FC are deeply saddened by Damien's decision, we fully respect that he feels this is the right choice for him at this time,” it said in a statement.“His impact on Shelbourne FC was transformational ... we are eternally grateful for the indelible mark he has left on our club,” said the club.Duff steps away from the club four and a half years after taking on the managerial role. During that time, he rebuilt the north Dublin club and delivered last season's League of Ireland Premier Division title – its first since 2006.Duff will also be a huge loss to the League of Ireland having built a new legacy for himself as the man who helped to transform the credibility of league.Why did he suddenly leave and what does it mean for the future of Shelbourne FC?

We are back in Oliver's offices to discuss a week that delivered an unwelcome twist for Drogheda United with the excitement of the European draws leaving the Boynesiders with a bitter aftertaste. Dan gives the lowdown on the story in a crowded mailbag that also features the content king that always delivers - an outraged Damien Duff. We talk dressing room songs, tinfoil hats, relentless Rovers and much more before we dial up our old pal Ruaidhri Higgins who discusses life in Coleraine, scotches a ‘lazy' transfer rumour and then gives us the rundown on Shels v Linfield before we finish the show with the Grok/Athlone/Ulysses mash up that nobody wanted. This beefy effort is brought to you in association with Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, Future Ticketing & Sport Cosanta.
Two shows this week. Here we've got some reaction to the European draw, and a double author feature ahead of Dalymount Park - although neither man has been to a derby in decades. Paul Howard recalls the smell of Milltown, and writing two of his books, "Gaffers", about Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane, and "The Rodfather", on Roddy Collins and his time at both Dublin clubs, while Donal Cullen tells us about following Bohemians from Canada, and the five new Irish football books he's just released on Bohs, Shels and the first three League of Ireland seasons.
