What insights does Shane Keegan share about League of Ireland players?
I always feel like the best players were able to grab a game by the scruff of the neck when an opportunity kind of presented itself. Great players and great teams were able to kind of seize that moment. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join.
So a chance now with less than two minutes to go. Kempis versus Shelton. No chance. 2-2. Kept his second goal. And Shilton was left without a hope.
Mario Kempez, the star of Argentina's first World Cup triumph in 1978, scored a whopping 303 goals over the course of his career, which included spells at Valencia, Rosario Central, River Plate and Instituto. But what if his career had taken a different path and ended up at Spurs? Well, just years after helping his nation win their first World Cup, he nearly joined his fellow countrymen in Ozier Diles and Ricky Villa at the North London Club. But why didn't the deal get over the line? Well, in episode four of Richie McCormack's Sliding Doors, Richie explains why the transfer didn't come to fruition for one of the best strikers in the world of the 70s and 80s.
How did the recent LOI fixtures impact team performances?
Off the Ball Off the Ball Folks, hello and welcome to tonight's Late Night League of Ireland with myself, Shane Clegan, back in the presenting chair. Our intrepid news talk reporter, Ben Sims, is out and about. Dundalk, I believe, at the Dundalk game. So the hopes to join the offense, of course, even without jumping into the hot seat first. Much like tonight's League of Ireland, we're slow to get started, slow to get moving. But in fairness, we did have a good excuse. Double jobbing as ever for Mr. Barry Murphy, who has quickly sprinted straight out of Tala Stadium to jump on board here for a chat. Barry, how are you? Shane, not too bad.
Can you hear me okay?
Yeah, not too bad there at all. Not too bad. Barry, I'll run through the results here quickly for everybody and then we'll get into the chats. So quickly through the Premier Division, we had Derry City being defeated at home by Bohemians 1-0.
What was the significance of the triple substitution mentioned in the episode?
1-0 draw, Watford and Sligo Rovers remain the stalemate at 0-0. We had Dundalk 1-0 at home with Drogheda United. And we had a 2-0 win for Shamrock Rovers at home to St Patrick's Athletic. In the first division, we had a 2-1 win for home side Finn Harps against UCD. Kerry 0, Athlone Town 1 down at Kerry. Treaty United 0, Bray Wanderers 1 at Treaty United. And Wexford won Cork City four. So three away wins on the bounce in the first division. But we'll jump back to the Premier Division as ever. Anybody who is on the call who has something to say or a conversation to start for us, we'd love to hear from each and every one of you. That's what keeps the show going. But Barry, we will start with yourself. I got a good majority of the game you were watching in myself.
talk to us camera grover st patrick's athletic i suppose my headline statement is uh have we seen the birth of a new league of ireland star in uh the appearance of left winger adam brennan how impressive was he absolutely incredible shane and the league of ireland veteran now and michael newman as well has made the difference the triple substitution come on the hour mark jack burn grainberg and michael newman all introduced and
To say it was quite 50-50 before that, it passed him over.
How did Adam Brennan perform in his debut match?
It's passed him a great chance in the second half. Edmondson found himself on the edge of the box free. Nobody around. Kipped around Ed McGinty and hit the outside of the post. Really should have done better and passed another chance just before that as well. Ed McGinty made a great save. But Adam Brennan, what can you say? I don't think I've seen such a good Dave in the League of Ireland in years. Absolutely incredible. To fill the boots of...
It was because you see the starting lineup and you're looking and you're going, right, you know, Enda Stephens, they're both coming to a certain point and Adam Brennan have got to start ahead of Enda Stephens. Maybe it's just because of, you know, pre-season fitness and all of that kind of stuff. But I'll tell you what, best of luck to Enda Stephens trying to get into this side.
