What are the highlights from the latest League of Ireland matches?
Football on Off the Ball. People say to me, do you miss football, Keith? It's the days leading up, like a big game against the Czech Republic, being in the hotel, waking up the morning of it and turning on the news and seeing everything on RT and just getting that feeling in your stomach of, it's coming, something big is coming here. They're the moments I miss.
Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join. Off the Ball Daily. Welcome along, folks, to another episode of League of Ireland Late Night here on Off the Ball. I'm delighted to say that I'm joined by my regular co-host, Shane Keegan. Shane, how are you? Not too bad. How about yourself? Very, very good. I'm just coming out of Tallis Stadium here, sitting in the car watching all the fans go home. So if you see me, don't be afraid to give a wave. Run your True Tonight scores very quickly, folks, for anyone who somehow missed out. So we've ended up Derry City 2, Drogheda 2. up in Derry I see we have a few requests in already for Derry so we'll get to you most definitely throughout the evening Derry throwing away the two goal lead and from what I hear from what I saw a little bit of this game on League of Ireland TV maybe James McLean at left centre half
We'll hear thoughts from Derry fans as the night progresses. Waterford 0, St. Pat's is leading 2. Huge pressure now on John Daly. And a big 2-0 win for Pat in Waterford, which leaves him just one point off the top of the table. And the reason why it leaves him one point off the top of the table is because Bahamians were held at home to Dundalk. A goal from Benya Ruby in the second half to level that one up. And then the game that I was at here in Tala Stadium finished Shamrock Rovers 2, Galway United 0. Shane, what game were you watching from home? Yeah, I was watching the live game. All right, Ben. So I see Anthony has requested to speak there as well. Two great requests we have in there at the moment because I'm dying to know what Marty made of events up in the Brandywell and I'd be interested to get Anthony's reflections on a game that I saw all of myself.
So yeah, absolutely. Plenty of interest and talking points again tonight, that's for sure. Absolutely. And that is exactly where I wanted to start. As soon as I clicked up this space tonight, I saw Marty had his request in about two seconds after I went live. And that is exactly who I was looking for when I saw that result in Derry. So we're going to add Marty in now. Shane, first of all, I don't know if you caught any of this, but I believe James McLean played a little bit of a left center half left back role, which I know we had discussions about how Tiernan Lynch maybe needs to figure out how to get him in. outside of that central midfield role but I don't think you were expecting maybe even to play left centre half were you?
it's not the wildest thing to me I think I spoke about it previously that I did think that was somewhere that they might actually try him to be honest with you all I've seen so far is the Warren Davis goal and yeah he's definitely in a defensive left position for that as you say whether it's a left back or left centre half role I'm not too sure but he certainly hasn't covered himself in glory on it anyway one way or another so yeah look let's get the finer detail from Marty Marty, how are you? Good evening, Mads. How's it going? All good. All good. Well, I don't know where you want to start with that. We'll probably hand you the reins on this. I mean, a really poor result for Derry after being 2-1 up.
Overall thoughts on the game, maybe just after it immediately?
Ah, like, it's hard to quantify. I just think things aren't going our way at the minute. I don't want to sound like making excuses, but the defending for the two goals Strada scored was poor, no doubt about that. But look at the two finishes, like, you know, what are the chances, I suppose, two finishes like that and they're all going against you? It's a bit like last week with Shelbourne, you know, should have closed down Henry Francis better for his goal, but the finish is like one in a hundred, maybe.
