Between the Stripes LOI podcast

There's only one place to start this week as Kieran & Gary host an honest discussion on the dark scenes that marred Friday's Louth Derby. It's been an awful week for Drogheda United, with a public and bitter boardroom fallout taking its toll on manager Kevin Doherty, who we hear from on the show.
We also hear from Gareth McGlynn as the former Candystripes chats all things Derry City. Cobh Ramblers manager Fran Rockett also features on a jam-packed pod. 
We've got a very busy BTS Hotline, the BTS Predictions League and our BTS Charity bet sponsored by BAR 1 Betting (18+, gamblingcare.ie)
As ever, we're brought to you by QuinnAv.ie

Another weekend of disruption isn't enough to stop Kieran & Gaz from rambling on about the League of Ireland for almost 90 minutes. 
Derry's less than convinving start, the late penalty given against Dundalk, Jon Daly's sluggish start at Waterford, and the opening weekend of the First Division are all covered in depth. 
As ever, there's the BTS Predictions League, BTS Hotline and BTS Charity bet.

The League of Ireland roared back into life last week, with late drama in Derry and Galway grabbing the headlines. That momentum took a hit on Sunday at the Aviva, though, raising fresh questions about hosting league games at the national stadium — something Kieran and Gaz get stuck into. 
Alongside our 2026 First Division preview and a chat with Treaty United goalkeeper Jack Brady, the lads also react to Roddy Collins’ comments on James McClean. 
There’s plenty more too, with a bumper BTS Hotline, the latest BTS Predictions League, and our new charity bet feature, sponsored by BAR 1 Betting (18+, Gamblingcare.ie). 
Another man excited for the return of the First Division is our long-term sponsor, Anthony Quinn of QuinnAv.ie.

We're back with series 10 of Between the Stripes LOI podcast! Alan Cawley is our first guest of the year, as he runs the rule over the pack for 2026, and offers us an alternative title selection. 
Kieran & Gary reflect on the main lessons to be taken from the Presidents Cup, and offer their own views on what may be to come in the league this year. 
The BTS Predictions League and BTS Hotline are back, while we have a new charity bet feature with thanks to BAR 1 Betting. 
It's great to be back, we really hope you enjoy this special 10th season of the pod, which is brought to you by our long-term sponsor QuinnAv.ie, and BAR 1 Betting.

The curtain comes down on another season of the pod as Shamrock Rovers complete a historic double and Waterford FC secure their status as a top-flight team for 2026. 

Kieran & Gaz reflect on the year that was by dishing out their cup final and play-off reflections and their club by club season report cards, who were the star students and who flunked out? 

The BTS end of season and team of the year awards should spark a debate or two, while Oisin Hand is our final guest of the year. Hand discusses his cup final emotions as an Ex-Rovers youngster who didn't make the grade in Tallaght, despire captaining a Hoops youth team containing the likes of Cory O'Sullivan, and why he's switching Longford for Athlone next term. 

A huge thanks to our sponsor again this season - QuinnAv.ie
