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.
