Together, the lads in hats stumble cheerfully through a maze of partitionist football nostalgia, Stephen Kenny-induced anxiety, grassy knolls, lawnmowers, the Rovers revival, and the age-old question: is the league actually done and dusted? The mailbag is in fine form too, curated by Johnny, Garry, and everyone's favourite ball-playing centre-half — St. Mochta's Director of Football, Colin Hawkins — who drops in to throw his lot in with your hot takes from the past week. It's chaotic. It's passionate. It's an hour of football chat that runs the full emotional spectrum. Brought to you by Collar and Cuff, Sport Cosanta, Rascals Brewery, and Future Ticketing — this is Episode 15, and it's not one to miss. Buckle up.

Ahead of the most anticipated night of the year - our live show in Rascals on November 4 of course - Johnny and Dan are in studio to also look ahead to a vintage LOI Friday, which might be overtaken next Friday and overtaken again the Friday after that. The best season ever? Certainly it's the busiest mailbag ever with Derry angst, Bohs anger, Pat's excitement and Breslin at 1.5x. Johnny briefly caught up with Alan Reynolds before an extended reunion with Stephen Kenny ahead of the do or die showdown in Richmond that should cut the title field from five to four. We couldn't do any of this without our fab four, Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Lily's Childcare, the facilitators for an hour that also features a bit of prison speculation, treble barreled adulation and whether the away end in Oriel is the least romantic place on earth? It's episode 36 and it's more lovable than the ex wife!

After a manic week, we've got a Monday show for you as Barry Murphy and Dave McMillan dial in to join Dan to review league, European and FAI Cup matters as most of the league takes a little breather ahead of the final stretch. Once again, it's a show packed with questions. Who wins the league now? Have Shels actually bottled it? Where now for Bohs? Can Drogheda win the cup? Where's Johnny? We do have the answer to one of those questions – our co-host is on a working trip to Kerry but he does send us a note to address the Galway not beating Dundalk sized elephant in the room. In addition to all of that we've got trivia teasers, Stephen Kenny's magic powers, UEFA cash chat and more, all with the help of Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Lily's Childcare. As Susannah and the purple one might say, "It's just another Manic Monday......"

Broadcasting out of the Imperial Hotel in Dundalk for another 'Open for Business' roadshow, Bobby chatted to Stephen Kenny about his love of Dundalk, all things Irish football, and more.

LOI legend Dermot Keely joins us to discuss his new book, the late Jim McLaughlin, his concern for Dundalk FC, and of course, he has plenty to say about the FAI too.  Having attended Weavers Park for one of the most remarkable score lines of the season on Friday, Kieran brings us audio with Drogheda goalkeeper Luke Dennison while listeners will also hear from Stephen Kenny ahead of St.Pat's historic trip to Istanbul this week.  The lads also discuss the eleventh hour postponement of Dundalk v St.Pat's along with a number of other key topics in another riveting edition of the show.  Sponsored by QuinnAv.ie - Hit subscribe/follow wherever you're listening!

Reunited for at least the second time, the veterans of not one but two lengthy group-stages European campaigns join a solo Johnny and a stand in producer for the 27th episode of season 8 from a sunny Oliver studios. First in the door is Ciaran Kilduff, who might be a tad irate about the perception of the women's game, while his old teammate Ronan Finn has his ideas about what a club should be about: winning matches. Even though his student days are behind him and maybe his coaching days in front of him, the veteran midfielder still has ambitions with UCD. But the big debate today is why does nobody want to win the league? In a Bohs heavy mailbag, there's also room for some Shamrock Rovers debate and the extreme contrast in styles between Michael O'Neill and Stephen Kenny. There's Cork splashing the cash, commercial versus football success, and no, the podcast won't be cancelled should Dundalk go down. The business end of the season approacheth and we've Collar & Cuff, Lilly's Childcare, Rascals Brewery and of course, Future Ticketing to thank for getting us this far. Its an early edition, presenter light, episode 27 and it's here now!

On this week's pod the lads look back on Shamrock Rovers defeat to Sparta Prague, is it the end of the European dream for the Hoops?  Derry's embarrassing Euro exit to Bruno's Magpies is discussed too but did Sunday's big Cup win rescue the week for the Candystripes? Speaking of that cup game at the Brandywell, just how big of a job does Stephen Kenny have on his and can he work his magic in Europe against Vaduz?  Damien Duff's extraordinary post-match interview following Shels cup win in Bray is dissected as is Tim Clancy's comments on wage inflation across the league.  All of this and much more is brought to you by our sponsors QuinnAv.ie  

It's just after the final whistle in Iceland, and no, not the one Mum's go to, so we look at the game with old friend Barry Murphy who married his debs date and ain't happy with certain goalkeeping pundits. We've also got a Derry double act with Hoban and Higgins and Dan stops by from the semi to pose a perplexing quiz question. No Collar & Cuff mailbag this week because our announcer is too busy writing Bob Dylan's liner notes, but we do have the saves of the season so far, the Caoimhin Kelleher question, Stephen Kenny's rebuild from number 1 up, keepers and beauty queens, and how good is Ed McGinty? All served up with a hanky in your pocket by Collar and Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing and Lily's Childcare. It's episode 22 and it's under an hour.

Galway United will go 10 games unbeaten in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division this Friday (31st May 2024) if they avoid defeat to Stephen Kenny's St. Patrick's Athletic. It's a repeat of the opening game of the season when the Inchicore side nicked a 1-0 victory in Eamonn Deacy Park thanks to a Jamie Lennon third minute goal. But the Saints have struggled for form since bringing in the ex-Ireland manager three games ago to replace Jon Daly.  And they currently sit in seventh spot on 20 points, seven behind Galway in fourth who have two games in hand. The last time Galway United played St. Pat's in a competitive game away from home, goals from Jonah Aynunga and Eoin McCormack sent the Tribesmen into the FAI Cup quarter-finals following a 2-0 win in August 2017. Goals in either half from Jonah Ayunga and Eoin McCormack sent Galway United in the Quarter-Final of the FAI Cup. == Kick-off at Richmond Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have full coverage on our website galwaybayfm.ie.

We've a warchest of stories and an infusion of intellectual capital in this weeks episode. Johnny introduces the Right shoe diaries to Damien Duff in between bouts of cat strangling orgasms and earth burning Gaza rants on short lived marriages. Dan ruminates on what a world would look like if football was golf, introduces Shelabrations to a new world lexicon and takes Louth Dad jokes to another level. A not quite sexagenarian Johnny McDonnell drops by our Oliver Studios to weigh in on the Stephen Kenny at St. Pat's story and why O'Donnell at Bohs is a logical move. There's the usual mailbag dissections and presidential ruminations and although none of our sponsors do custom made laptop bags, the good people at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Lilly's Childcare and Rascals Brewery do, to their utmost credit, make all of the chaos seem a little bit ordered. It's episode 16, it's nostalgic, it's giddy and, as always, it's striving for relevance.

It's Saint Stephens Day and he's back on the grass. Our unexpected Episode 15 captures the events of the last 24 hours with analysis of the Stephen Kenny appointment, his opening press conference and badly photoshopped send ups of a certain Independent sportswriter. There's old magazines, more Brian Kerr chat, Stephen O'Donnell not in the nip, the importance of big personalities and the pressure that extra attention brings. It's a hastily produced bitesize episode here to feed your news addiction with the help of Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff and Lilys Childcare. Hopefully it makes your Friday at work a little less difficult.

So where do we start? The lads reflect on the maddest week of League of Ireland news since last week, with the Stephen Kenny flirtation with a League of Ireland return prompting a review of our St Patrick's Athletic perceptions. Noel King's 25 day stint as Dundalk manager is over, but the legacy of the day may be a tweet that the internet will never forget. In another bulging mailbag, there's talk of political football and Dail visits, the saving of Tolka Park, a new spate of ten match bans and the mystery of Aurora Borealis - and no you won't find him on Wyscout. We then divert to a man who lit up the league before his departure last year with Jack Moylan dialling in to discuss Damien Duff, LOI watch parties in Lincoln & the truth about League One. As Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Lilly's Childcare and Future Ticketing scramble their lawyers to pore over the transcripts, our advice is to listen now before something else happens or everything is deleted!
