St Patrick's Athletic moved into second place in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, ahead of Bohemians on goal difference, after a 1-1 draw with Dundalk in Inchicore.
Stephen Doyle caught up with Stephen Kenny, Sean Hoare and Ciaran Kilduff for their post-match reaction!

Phil Egan is here with Friday’s Football Daily, looking ahead to tonight’s live League of Ireland commentary as St Pat’s host Dundalk at Richmond Park — coverage on Off The Ball on Newstalk and the GoLoud App from 7, with kick-off at 8.
It’s also a big European round-up, with Shelbourne hammering Nõmme Kalju 5-2 in John Russell’s first home game in charge to put themselves on course for a potential clash with Ajax, while Derry City fall 1-0 away to Rijeka but remain right in the tie.
Plus Keith Treacy on the unique feel of European nights, Dundalk’s season under Ciaran Kilduff, and Sligo Rovers naming Darren Purse as their new manager.

Stephen Doyle is back with Vinny Perth and super-sub Keith Treacy on the LOI Pod, with a big announcement: we’re going live from the All Together Now Festival, with Brian Kerr joining the lads in the Go Loud Lounge.
The panel digs into Bohemians’ dramatic European night at Dalymount — Ross Tierney’s stunning late winner, James-Taylor’s impact, and what has to tighten up before the second leg with Ballkani.
They also assess Shamrock Rovers’ “sloppy” moments in Europe, and look ahead to Friday’s live commentary: St Patrick’s Athletic v Dundalk, plus the latest FAI Cup draw and the shifting title picture.

Phil Egan is in for Thursday’s Football Daily, with all the latest from Europe and beyond.
Bohemians come from behind to beat Ballkani 2-1 at Dalymount Park, with Douglas James-Taylor levelling late before Ross Tierney’s stunning 90th-minute volley seals a first-leg lead. Hear from Alan Reynolds on brave substitutions, and Tierney on feeling the winner was coming.
It’s a big night ahead too as Derry City travel to Rijeka, while Shelbourne host Nõmme Kalju in John Russell’s first home game in charge.
Plus, Mick McDermott on working with Ghana at the World Cup, Jonathan Wilson on FIFA accountability, and more headlines.
