Stephen Doyle is joined by Vinny Perth for this week's LOI Pod as they look back on a dramatic FAI Cup Final day at the Aviva.

They replay the key moments from commentary, including Darragh Burns’ brilliant winner for Derry City, and dig into the detail behind that finish – plus the big calls, big performances, and why cup finals can so often come down to one moment.
