LOI Central

This week, a momentous nil-nil in Atlanta, the biggest bug scandal since Watergate, a goalkeeper elopes mid season, Liam Boyce gives us his 2c and the Bohs bodhrain bangs on. We got the man who wasn't there in the studio, as Ruaidhri O'Connor keeps Johnny company in Glasnevin before dialling out to an airport bound Dan somewhere in the southern states. But the story is really only about a small African nation and it's Crumlin born defender keeping the world champions at bay. Zlatan couldn't make it, but Rascals, Collar & Cuff, Planify and Future Ticketing all showed up to bring you episode 18!

We’re back in business with a slightly different show this week as Conan Byrne dials in to join Canadian based Dan to reflect on the season so far and magic moments in Montreal for Dawson Devoy, Kian Leavy and Adam Brennan. We hear from Kian in a shameless Ardee themed segment before discussing the challenges faced by Dawson in an appearance where he was occasionally left up shit creek. There’s a mid-season themed mailbag with some Derry angst, more Robbie Benson goal nostalgia and a farewell to the verucas. There’s also the quiz question that wasn’t and some Conan halfway line goal nostalgia, all made possible by our friends at Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Planify and Chido, our favourite Mexican themed lager.

More game time for Paul O'Hehir this week as he sits in as a number 6 keeping the house for Johnny and a true League of Ireland legend, Robbie Benson. Benson goes wide in this weeks episode and laments the lost final year of his career whilst contradicting Johnny on his finest moments in front of goal. There's Dublin Derby summaries, Derry City woes and a lot more summer beer garden chat that Rascals new Chido six pack could aid and abet. Yes, tune in, suncream up and drop out with Future Ticketing, Collar&Cuff, Planify.ie and Rascals while we take you towards the real summer which everyone knows only starts when the leaving cert does!

Decisions, decisions, decisions! Whether it be where to have a sneaky joint in Alkmaar or whether its a late penalty in Waterford, there's no better man than Johnny Ward to seek advice from. This week we have another welcome co-hosting nixer for Paul O'Hehir as Dan slips off on holidays, but still manages to keep the quiz business in order after talking to both Daryl Horgan and Ciaran Kilduff. The mailbag is chock a block with talks of the same penalty as well as a left field take on New Zealand's chances in the World Cup. It's episode 15 and there's way too many topics to mention here and it's all done in tandem with Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff, Planify.ie and Future Ticketing. Oh and the big lad from Alkmaar they couldn't remember? That was Wout Wegorst.

Johnny is away in sunnier climes this week so Dan skips out to the southside of Dublin to catch up with friend of the show Eoin Doyle to get his impressions of the season so far. They talk best signings of the season and the best finishers in the league before unpicking the problems with Shelbourne and Derry City and delving into a mailbag that veers from student dilemmas to Graham Coughlan's impressive communication. All of this and more in association with our friends from Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Planify and Rascals Brewing
