This is LOI Late Night, your weekly post-match forum on the night's fixtures - hosted this week by Nathan Murphy. LOI on Off The Ball is brought to you Rockshore 0.0 | #ALeagueOfOurOwn
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.
David and Conor discuss all the action of Matchday 19 of the LOI!

It's Episode 39 and it was live. If you missed out on our Monday night in Rascals, this pod will give you a flavour of the best bits. Like the title race, there was twists and turns in putting our show together and Shelbourne's dramatic success in Derry was the catalyst for a weekend of tracing down prospective guests. We left it late but Sean Boyd answered the SOS to join live show staple Keith Ward on stage to tell us about Mourinho messages, Duff magic and much more with the help of some underrated Shels friends in the audience. Then we give the floor to a pair of pals from Ringsend with prolific title winner Sean Gannon and his injured mate Daniel Kelly opening up on their shared background, Dundalk days and the radically different end to the season for their respective employers. All of this revelry wouldn't have been possible without our friends at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Toir Performance, Lily's Childcare and our friends at Rascals. Nothing beats being there but hopefully this pod is an enjoyable second best.
Damien Duff's Shelbourne have been crowned SSE Airtricity League Premier Division champions for the first time in nearly 20 years. On this morning's Gift Grub, Duffer joined Ian on the line to tell him all about the big weekend and Jose Mourinho joined in on the celebrations. Hit play now to hear the full episode.
Shelbourne's Sean Gannon chats to Shane about their epic title win in Derry; Alan Cawley chats League of Ireland and Premier League with Stephen Kelly; Ruby Walsh chats to Rich Ricci ahead of the Melbourne Cup, plus Eric Haughan reflects on the career of Dublin footballer James McCarthy who retired this morning. Game On.
We are so back. After fears that we were enduring our worst ever season, a Tolka Park game for the ages has filled the glasses to half-full and posed so many questions. Was it the best ever TV game? Are St Patrick's Athletic the best team in the country? Is anyone out there not actually involved in the title race? There's so much to unpack and that's before we get to the mailbag which is full of Shels strife and Saints standards. With all of this excitement, you could be forgiven for forgetting that Shamrock Rovers start a European group stage campaign on Thursday and there's two FAI Cup semi finals to be decided over the weekend. Johnny dusted down the microphone to catch up with Ciaran Coll, Douglas James-Taylor and Ethan Boyle while managing slip a Frank Drebbin reference to gambling completely over Dan's head. In a show supported as ever by our friends at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewing & Lily's Childcare we take the quiz in a new direction but don't fret it isn't a mystery voice return. So enjoy it while you can because the Galway United title celebration party could end us all.

It's not a standard show, as we record on Monday night after Shels scoreless draw with Derry City and it appears that the burning question is - what is the standard? Owen Heary, a multiple league winner with Shels, dials in to offer his take on the panache free situation at the top of the table and mull over what happens from here. There's plenty of love for the League of Ireland from Luke Dennison, the Drogheda United goalkeeper from California, who chatted with Dan after their draw with Bohemians. Aside from those chats, we've got a busy mailbag with more Stephen Walsh jibes, Dublin bias, and a lively instalment of ref chat. Be warned: there's a few questions about the standard. What we have no doubts about is the standard of our sponsors with Rascals Brewing, Lily's Childcare, Collar & Cuff and Future Ticketing giving us the consistency we need to keep this show on the road.
