Ep 71 - Selling People

We are in peak LOI in Europe time, which means the annual state of the nation debates about our league although this week’s pod veers off into a discussion on the state of several other nations. Dan has declared Derry’s defeat to Bruno’s Magpies the most damaging in recent league history but Johnny thinks the pub talk will disappear from memory and wonders if some of these UEFA countries should do the same. Conan Byrne stops by after watching Shamrock Rovers lose to Sparta Prague to offer a slightly surprising Hoop themed end of year prediction before we enter the thorny topic of wage inflation – with a bit of St Pat’s nostalgia thrown in - and ask if any of our clubs are really getting bang for their buck. We hope that our friends at Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Lily’s Childcare and Rascals Brewing never find themselves asking the same question. It’s episode 24 and its worth Kuwaiting for.

S08E24 State of the LOI Nation with Conan Byrne

The boys are back face to face in Oliver after a weekend of mixed emotions with JW mourning Galway disappointment and Dan energised by a casual Friday of tram and pram pushing in Dalymount. After a giddy reunion featuring urinal banter, the perils of pissing money down the drain, and tales of wrong weddings and inaccurately named children, Paddy Kavanagh stops by to talk football, agents and modern wages before offering his two cents on the state of the game. We’ve also got the return of Pat’s chat to the mailbag, Drogheda artistic impression analysis and the Stephen Walsh Olympics question that needed answering. All of this is facilitated by our friends in Lily’s Childcare, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewery so bí ciúin and yes, there is a bar in Dalymount!

Episode 25: Dalymount Days & the LOI’s Financial Haze with Paddy Kavanagh

It's not a standard show, as we record on Monday night after Shels scoreless draw with Derry City and it appears that the burning question is - what is the standard? Owen Heary, a multiple league winner with Shels, dials in to offer his take on the panache free situation at the top of the table and mull over what happens from here. There's plenty of love for the League of Ireland from Luke Dennison, the Drogheda United goalkeeper from California, who chatted with Dan after their draw with Bohemians. Aside from those chats, we've got a busy mailbag with more Stephen Walsh jibes, Dublin bias, and a lively instalment of ref chat. Be warned: there's a few questions about the standard. What we have no doubts about is the standard of our sponsors with Rascals Brewing, Lily's Childcare, Collar & Cuff and Future Ticketing giving us the consistency we need to keep this show on the road.

S08E26 Shels/Derry review with Owen Heary & Luke Dennison Chat

Reunited for at least the second time, the veterans of not one but two lengthy group-stages European campaigns join a solo Johnny and a stand in producer for the 27th episode of season 8 from a sunny Oliver studios. First in the door is Ciaran Kilduff, who might be a tad irate about the perception of the women’s game, while his old teammate Ronan Finn has his ideas about what a club should be about: winning matches. Even though his student days are behind him and maybe his coaching days in front of him, the veteran midfielder still has ambitions with UCD. But the big debate today is why does nobody want to win the league? In a Bohs heavy mailbag, there’s also room for some Shamrock Rovers debate and the extreme contrast in styles between Michael O’Neill and Stephen Kenny. There’s Cork splashing the cash, commercial versus football success, and no, the podcast won’t be cancelled should Dundalk go down. The business end of the season approacheth and we’ve Collar & Cuff, Lilly’s Childcare, Rascals Brewery and of course, Future Ticketing to thank for getting us this far. Its an early edition, presenter light, episode 27 and it’s here now!

S08E27 with Ciaran Kilduff and Ronan Finn

It’s hosts with notes this week as Johnny is overwhelmed by the sheer professionalism of his co-hosts who ably step in for a paternity left Dan McDonnell in the sunny surroundings of Oliver Marketing. Yes, it’s a full studio this week as Johnny is joined by the Robin to Dan’s Batman in Sean O’Connor, a fledgling journalist who’s more than finding his feet in this years league press boxes. Alongside Sean is another Boy Wonder in Keith Treacy who’s commentating skills were pushed to the limits this week and still had the energy to tackle the show that delved deeply into the European saga, RTE gates, the beauty of a lumping Galway, air raid sirens at Lincoln, stag parties in Phibsboro, the Waterford 9, and another mailbag heavy with Bohs woes. We also cut away to Harry Kenny and Paul Doolin for a tribute to the late great Jim McLaughlin who sadly passed this week. All of this bumper, bumper, edition is brought to you by the ever forgiving and always encouraging Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewery, Collar & Cuff and Lillys Childcare. Yes the sponsors are getting value for money this week. Pray for traffic jams on your commute because it’s episode 28 and it’s a marathon!

S08E28 with Sean O'Connor, Keith Treacy, Harry Kenny and Paul Doolin

It’s a double act this week but not the usual one. Taciturn northerner Garry Doyle joins our normal “fan with a typewriter” Johnny Ward as we trawl through the week’s news which is not too harsh on Pats, but harsh on RTE and rugby fans. But isn’t rugby a popular sport? Not before 1987 apparently and Andy Farrell raises some questions too. Back with the roundy ball and we dip into the U19 league which has a Drogheda team flying, and United Park (or is it Weavers?) gets a thumbs up from the lads too, even though Sky don’t like it. But even with the increased depth in the Premier Division we ask is it the coaches and the coaching that has generated the most fascinating league in recent memory? We reign Johnny in on Tangets, refuse to rule out Shamrock Rovers, and is Waterford the story of the season? All this and much much more as Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Lily’s Childcare and Future Ticketing bring you episode 28 of a season that may be getting longer!

S08E29 Johnny and Garry’s mad mad mad season so far!

In a week of reunions this is really the one you’ve been waiting for. A surprisingly energised Dan returns to clean up after Johnny’s ‘you let Dougal do a funeral’ interim stint in charge. Amid the wreckage, we lament Northern accents, misinformed ministers, analogue opinions, and Larne  before Dan tries to bury some inaccuracies in the interminable TV and standards debates. In our Galway United segment, Johnny gets hold of Ollie Horgan to discuss their top four chances amongst other things and with the financial fair play committee still looking at Collar & Cuff, Lily’s Childcare, Rascal’s Brewery and Future Ticketing as we approach episode 300, we ask why oh why should football be still dealing deals like its 1981. Yes folks, it’s episode 30, it’s 90 mins, it’s early so just Roll with It!

S08E30 The Big Reunion and a bit of Ollie Horgan

Interesting standards of rabbit pulling and random phonecalls a-go-go, as episode 300 takes you on a seat of your pants ride through the last eight years of football on this fair isle. The honeymoon period feels definitely over as middle age approaches and our hosts get showered with accolades from all walks of footballing life, well in Johnny’s perfect world they would. But in this imperfect topsy turvy world it would be remiss not to turn our attention to the Dundalk crisis and FAI Cup matters amongst other things with the help of some special guests and old friends who we dial up Ryanline style. On a growth curve from banana sambos to Uno Mas , we’ve touched on ring tone interpretations, getting sacked, lobsters, horse fighting and Brendan Gleeson’s next big role as a midfielder. Confused? The great people at Future Ticketing, the awestruck Collar & Cuff , Lily’s Childcare and Rascals Brewery certainly hope you make enough sense of whats happening here so we can go on for another 300. It’s a whole different show and it’s almost two hours!

S08E31 300 Not Out.....Yet?

Who'd have thought we could do such a weather dominated show without Johnny? Our spiritual leader is absent but there's plenty to rabbit on about this week, with Graham Gartland stepping in to shoot the breeze with Dan about the dark clouds that hovered over Dundalk. In a Dundalk dominated mailbag, Dan warns that the future forecast remains uncertain. Then, we go Stateside for some hailstorms, or to the manager of Northern Colorado Hailstorm to be precise with Eamon Zayed dialling in for his LOI Central debut to discuss his new life in the USA, and a stormy relationship with Garts during their Hurricane Doolin years. Beyond that, there's a few drops of Damien Duff and the closest thing to Malen Head to Mizen Head in terms of guest representation with voices from Derry, Sligo and Waterford drizzled across a busy show that we couldn't do without being under the umbrella of Lily's Childcare, Rascals Brewing, Future Ticketing & Collar & Cuff. It's episode 32 and the wind is crying Mary, or at least that's what it sounds like!

S08E32 Dundalk Survive, Zayed/Gartland Reunion & Around the Grounds

Dermot Keely denies and then agrees that he was better without the ball but we are certain this podcast makes an argument that your life would be better with his new book.  Dermot dropped into studio with the Irish Sun’s Neil O’Riordan, his long term partner in prose, to discuss the many strands of his life in the league he loves. It’s hard to summarise them under one heading so, just like a player in his dressing room or a student in his classroom you just need to strap in and see where the journey takes you. Before that there’s a wrap of the weekend that was at the top and bottom of the table and there’s also a getting to know you interview with St Patrick’s Athletic’s Romal Palmer, all facilitated by our friends in Future Ticketing, Lily’s Childcare, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewing.
