LOI Central

We are ten games into our tenth season and whether you're in Vietnam or in the shower, we hope there's something for you here as we wrap on a dramatic weekend where there was courage and controversy in Dundalk, more Galway joy, a bit of Bohs and Shels angst and unexpected days off in Derry. Dan was at Oriel Park and brings some Ciaran Kilduff and Stephen Kenny into our discussion with some praise for Johnny and split opinions around a tackle. There's more cat content, Meath FC's unveiling, Cillian Murphy, Daniel O'Donnell and a bad weekend for pirates. All of this legal content is brought to you in association with Planify, Future Ticketing, O'Reilly Sports, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewing

Some walk by night, some fly by day, nothing can change us, 'cept and sure of the way. We are moonlighting back into the LOI scene as the Prague hangover looms over all strands of Irish football. This is the show you've kinda all been expecting. The one where Agnes Dipesto and Burt Viola call Gary Cole about a murder involving an out of breath Brian Lenihan. The perfect hangover cure at midnight on BBC 2 as the boys discuss the national fervour, how it's relevant for the league's next step and begin the countdown to Saudi 2034. Johnny dials Derry to check in with Carl Winchester ahead of a big week on the road for a club that could do with an Easter rising. There's also lunchtime pints, bridesmaid free weddings and the latest update on the passing of time. All of this philosophising and more is brought to you in association with Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, O'Reilly Sports, Future Ticketing and Planify

It's St Patrick's Night and Dan and Johnny are just two fortysomething dads recording a pod and debating the mechanics of the passing of time. They spend less than a hour of their existence picking over the talking points of the double header with Johnny enthused about his Galway PALS and Dan wondering if Dublin dominance is an inevitable consequence of a season where supposed regional powers are underperforming. We hear a snippet of Derry City's Tiernan Lynch who is struggling to get fans on board but did get a 12th man on the park on Monday. There's birthday shoutouts and Waterford's Blues in a relatively serene mailbag with all this philosophical fun brought to you by our friends at Collar and Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Planify, O'Reilly Sports and Future Ticketing

The lads are remote this week, and a bit distant at times as they struggle to process the big questions floating around their heads at this early stage of the season. What is a title race? Who will Galway United finish ahead of? What's wrong with Derry? Is Stephen Kenny back in the game? Who will win at Cheltenham on Friday? And where have all the Bohs fans gone from our mailbag? Shels are on the brain too, and we briefly hear from Joey O'Brien after a dramatic Tolka double header that reflects that 'The Reds' are still finding their way after a gruelling 2025. It's an hour long catchup after the benign Paul O'Hehir takeover and it's brought to you in association with our friends at Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff, Future Ticketing, Planify and O'Reilly Sports.

When you've spent your last nine euro on a curry cheese chips in Inchicore and been presented with a bag of promised vinyl and a sauna is the only cure for a hangover then you know it has to be another episode of your favourite podcast. Dan is away this week so we took our chance to see if Paul O'Hehir would reprise his performance from last week and you could have knocked us down with a feather when he agreed! To aid and abet in the days post Dublin Derby we got the poetic Paddy Kavanagh away from a Data Centre to join us, as he was apparently, "in the area". Without a Dan to stamp out the tangents we spiralled from a soul legend's header to Derry's maybe inadequate back five, to bar room filing in Iceland and eventually ended up with Stephen Bradley's new version of that old dancehall favourite, "Speak To The Club". Even though he wasn't in studio Dan spoke with Jon Daly and we had Niamh O'Mahony's take on the pyro debate. It was definitely a differently structured show which Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff, Planify, O'Reilly's Sportswear and Future Ticketing all conspired to help create. It's episode 5 and it's all yours!
