Keith Treacy

I know they've lost Mason Meady.

That would be a big thing to replace.

But he held his end up with the bargain.

Meady, he scored a lot of goals last year.

Will they struggle this year?

Do you expect them to do better?

Are there lower expectations?

I'm kind of fascinated by Pats.

At times, Barry, and I want to hear you being here too, we'd be celebrating the football that Pats were playing.

But then they'd infuriate you if you were a fan of theirs and they'd bemuse you objectively that sometimes they just wouldn't show up.

Pats can get a head of steam up going into those games I think they've got a great chance of being up and around Just to follow on from that story I was telling you that he went to see Keith Andrews at Brentford and Eustace at Derby Stephen Kenny was saying just to make sure we improve all aspects of what we do to make sure we can do

you could see them looking Brentford light I would say why not I like that from Stephen though always learning he's obviously a really good CV being the oil manager but there's a humility to what yeah I'm still learning I'm still trying to uncover things I like that well Bose right so do you remember they were linked there with Dele Alli a few weeks ago we all got very excited what's going on here but the man to look out for the young boy I should say the 16 year old Hugh Martin this could be very exciting the next Melia

Oh, that was the only excitement around the Aviva with the Moose.

Shamrock Rovers, right, so you touched them there at the start, Barry.

They're your favourites, right, are they, to retain?

I mean, it's a huge coup, I suppose, that they managed to keep hold of Michael Noonan.

I think we all did, going to the Bundesliga side half an hour.

They're third in the league for €2 million.

But he's sticking around, and then they've added that wealth of experience and quality with Enda Stephens as well.

That'll be really interesting.
