Yes, you are welcome to the LOI Pod on Off the Ball. I'm Stephen Doyle and here's what happened last Friday on Off the Ball.
And Shelburne have taken the lead here at the RSC against the home team Waterford in the 13th minute. put it back in the net it's an equaliser for Waterford Tabby Lonergan who goes over to celebrate with the Waterford fans over that first time in the pitch really point of failure in the box it must be said by Shelburne and Lonergan rose up to just flick that one on with the tap of his head into the roof of the net and an equaliser has been put into the goal after 56 minutes here at the RSC it's Waterford 1 Shelburne 1 And the Waterford supporters absolutely elated with that one.
Yeah, great atmosphere at the RSC where myself and Vinnie Perth were sent at the last minute due to that waterlogged pitch at Tallis Stadium. We were watching Shelburne against Waterford. How are you, Vinnie?
Yeah, I'm really good, Steve-O. How are you?
All good, all good. And hello, Gareth McGlynn. You were up at the Ryan McBride Brandiwell Stadium. What was that like?
It was decent, yeah. A bit of excitement as well. Last-minute goals. Plenty of people sold out. Stayed in. Good night.
Yeah, it was Derry City coming from behind to beat Sligo Rovers by two goals to one. So, yeah, really looking forward to getting stuck into what we have coming up this week. I should say as well, we have a couple of emailers who have contacted the podcast this week for our new Ask the Experts slot. So we'll have a look at those later on in the pod. First, though, let's look at our first, or next, I should say, live and exclusive match on Off the Ball this Friday. Jonathan Higgins will be with Richie Tell to bring you all the action from Talca Park, where Shelburne host Shamrock Rovers. Always a really, really exciting Dublin derby to look forward to. Vinnie, let's start with Shamrock Rovers. Are they at a big disadvantage this Friday night due to the fact that they didn't have a match last Friday in the league?
No, probably not. I think they probably, as much as they'd like to play, they have to remember last season dragged on so much for them because of the European adventures they had. So the actual week may have done them the world of good.
How did Shelburne perform against Waterford last week?
they have played a couple of friendlies obviously and they played one during the week so I think it's probably in one sense a bit of an advantage to them that they got the extra week in but there's nothing beats competitive games so for all of that it's probably a 50-50 split as you fall on it but from Robert's point of view an extra week is probably huge for the players for the squad particularly being such a big game But, yeah, there's much of muchness, but I'm sure Bradley wasn't overly disappointed last week for the game to be called off in the sense of another week prep for them, because I imagine it's been so curtailed because of finishing so late into December last year.
Yeah, we were chatting to Mr. Bradley and Glenn Cronin up in the press box down at the RSC. So I suppose he did get to see Shelburne in the flesh, which is probably something that he would have taken a lot from. And I know, Gareth, you were looking at the team from the friendly match on Saturday that they played against UCD. Ed McGuinty and Golo was out. Let me see here. Lopez, Cleary, Corey O'Sullivan was there as well. Jack Byrne, Jake Mulraney, Trevor Clarke, Matt Healy, Dylan Watts, John McGovern. Is that looking like a starting team, do you think, for the match against Shelburne?
Not a bad side, is it, Stephen?
