Here To See The Shelbourne

We look back on the 2026 campaign and ahead to 2027. Injury problems, home form, and John Russell's new chapter in charge. We discuss recruitment, the striker options, the academy players pushing for first-team minutes, and some realistic League of Ireland signings. There's also time for cup-final memories and the cup drought, the women's team's challenge to Athlone, the new jersey, Tolka Park and how the club is growing, before the final thoughts and season sign-off.
Thanks to Dunny, Fran and Nathan for their contributions in 2026 and of course to you for listening and supporting the show.

It's short and not so sweet this week as we look back at the defeat to Waterford. More defensive errors and was the performance a fair reflection of the year overall? Terrible home form, the fourth-place finish and we assess John Russell's season. What comes next, rebuild priorities, team togetherness and player responsibility.
Join us next week for our full season finale.

The Shels women clinch European football after a tense draw in Galway. Alex Kavanagh's standout display, the club backing and the refereeing flashpoints in a scrappy finish.
Over in Dalymount is Mipo finally hitting his best form and how fans should think about the atmosphere, pyro and supporter behaviour. We also share Dalymount memories, look at late-season improvement and preview Waterford, and close with an honest chat about football, mental health and the importance of minding your mates.

After a huge away win at St Pats, we go through the nerves, the atmosphere and the awful start the team survived, then the halftime tactical change that turned the game. Are the players finally playing for John Russell?
We also cover the big-game mentality, the crowd flashpoints and the rivalry debate, including whether things went over the line at Richmond Park. Then there's Ali Coote's reckless red card, a close look at the defence options.
On the women's side, we look at the draw with Athlone, Becky Watkins' big equaliser and the standout performers, and then preview whether Shels can finish the job against Galway.

We look back at the men's 5-1 win over Sligo. How the team went from an uneasy first half to a ruthless second half. Mipo and John Martin, we also get into injuries, transfer rumours. What has gone wrong for Will Jarvis this season? How much will missing out on Europe hurts Shels finances and recruitment and whether Mbeng is judged too harshly.
We preview the women's clash with Athlone and the race for Europe, and celebrate the big crowds and feel-good factor building around the club.
