S9 Ep30: S9EP30 with Steven Gray - Athlone Town CEO
Athlone Town’s newly-appointed CEO, Steven Gray, sits down for a frank and wide-ranging chat. The former LOI player and Shamrock Rovers academy coach gives his take on Colin Fortune’s controversial exit, the growing fan pressure on Ian Ryan, efforts to reconnect with the local community, and his plans to put the Midlanders on a sustainable financial footing.
Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we can’t bring you our usual show this week. After recording late into the night, the lads discovered their equipment had let them down even worse than Ireland did in Yerevan. If you missed it, make sure to check out last week’s fiery emergency pod from Armenia—and we’ll be back in full force next week.

EMERGENCY POD - No Plan In Yerevan
The lads are still fuming after Ireland’s disastrous night in Yerevan. Emotions are running high, and it’s gotten so bad that they’ve had to call an emergency pod. From the performance to the tactics (or lack of them), nothing is off-limits in this raw reaction.

S9 Ep29: European Euphoria & Remembering Ollie
This week’s episode comes with mixed emotions as we celebrate Thursday’s historic European achievements by Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers, while also paying tribute to the late, great Ollie Horgan.
Elsewhere on the show, Kieran and Gary clash on a few hot topics, including whether Josh Honohan deserves a place in the latest Ireland squad and Ciaran Kilduff’s comments on underage call-ups in the First Division.
Tune in for passion, debate, and a look back at an unforgettable week in Irish football.

S9 Ep28: The Greatest Day Of Our Lives?
Are we about to witness the greatest week in the history of the LOI? We certainly won't be viewing it on the national broadcaster anyway, but Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers get the big game treatment on this week's Between the Stripes.
It's a fiery BTS Hotline this week with Treaty United and Tommy Barrett coming in for plenty of flak from contributers after the Limerick men's 7-0 hammering at home to Dundalk.

S9 Ep27: S9EP27 Euro Extravaganza
Two League of Ireland sides are just one step away from the Europa Conference League group stages, so we’ve called in the experts.
Peter Cinnamond of the Kicking Match Irish League Podcast gives us the view from Belfast ahead of Shelbourne v Linfield II, while Kevin Fernandes from Long Ball Futebol breaks down what Shamrock Rovers can expect when they head to the Azores to face Santa Clara.
Kieran & Gary also look back on the FAI Cup last 16, including an unlucky night for Longford in Tallaght. No BTS kebab review this week, but there’s chat about McDonald’s Arch Burger and spicy nuggets—plus plenty more serious (and not-so-serious) business on another bumper pod.
