LOI Central

The lads are back in Oliver for a hectic show that might just be as breathless as the remainder of the League of Ireland season. Aside from fiscal and physical fears, Johnny is on board with the apparent Pat’s rebirth and Bohs momentum while Rovers questions persist. Johnny McDonnell dials in to discuss a Saints prediction turned premonition while we also hear from Stephen Kenny and Darren Purse who were in contrasting form when speaking to Dan. There’s a bit of Shels hell in a crowded mailbag where Dan is put back in his box with a few Simpsons references and a Zapruder shout tossed into the mix. All of this and more with the support of Future Ticketing, Planify, Collar and Cuff and Rascals, the hosts of Rocktoberfest on Saturday October 10

Dan is back in Oliver this week but with a twist as Paul O’Hehir joins us with Johnny off in London, searching for a town centre he can eventually take over with his aul lads WhatsApp group. With the help of some Alan Reynolds audio, the lads pick over the cup weekend, the Shelbourne dramas and title race optimism. There’s also Belgrade memories, Kazan tales, Dublin pubs, unlikely Celbridge venues and more in a crowded mailbag that will hopefully keep you conscious even if you have a bias. All of this and more in association with our friends at Planify, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals, the host of Rocktoberfest on Saturday October 10

Where there's a Will, there's a way. Dan and Johnny relocate to a stadium in Dublin 4 this week to catch up with the League of Ireland Academy Director to chat about the state of play post government investment and what needs to happen next to make encouraging investment sustainable. Before that, the lads pick over the week that was, with Dan wowed by Waterford before making a first pilgrimage to Mayo while Johnny speaks wistfully about Warsaw in a wider discussion that precedes a mailbag with a bit of Rovers fallout, more Galway in Europe speculation and the conflict between a perfect 10 and a bloated 12. All of this and more with thanks to Planify, Future Ticketing, Collar and Cuff and Rascals Brewing, the host of Rocktoberfest on Saturday October 11

We are back in the familiar setting of Oliver Marketing to pick over the week that was without needing a wifi connection. The lads discuss the low key vibe around a huge Shamrock Rovers game, the implications for the idea of a title race and the questions spinning out of it as pre-LOI Central hire Stephen Bradley heads into his second decade in charge. We also hear from Garret Higgins on the new National League and debate it's relevance to the LOI while we also hear a snippet of irate Mark Connolly after Derry were destroyed in Dalymount. On top of that, there's a crowded mailbag with the usual combination of revelry and angst before the irony levels go through the roof as a giddy JW ponders if his Galway Whatsapp group could bring European banter to another level prior to them taking on Shels in their first game since Live Aid! All of this high jinks is in association with Planify, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals, the host of Rocktoberfest on Saturday October 11

The lads are in Dan's gaff this week for live reaction to the FAI Cup quarter final draw after a weekend where every Premier team was a winner apart from Shamrock Rovers. What went wrong in Albania? Can they turn it around against KuPS? What's the best result for the league? The lads discuss that before reflecting on Sam Rooney, Ryan Sheridan and the supersub Saints who stole the show on Sunday. The mailbag includes more questions about Dan's holiday, the McClean situation, the good side of Graham Burke and a hypothetical debate around plane evictions. All of this and more in association with our friends at Planify, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewing where Rocktoberfest on October 10 is the big date in the diary
