Hello, you are very welcome to the LOI pod on off the ball. And thank you as ever for listening to the podcast. Much to discuss as we head back into another weekend of league action in the SSE Artricity Men's Premier Division. Drahaty United take on St. Patrick's Athletic at Sullivan and Lamb Park. Galway United travel to take on Dundalk. Saigo Rovers entertain Waterford, two sides who will be getting to know each other very well over the next couple of weeks. And the feature match on Off the Ball this Friday night comes live from Daily Mount Park, Bohemian's host Derry City. And Ben Simes will be on the mic alongside Vinny Perth for that match, which kicks off at seven forty five on Friday night. Tune in to Off the Ball on News Talk or on the Go Loud app from seven o'clock to have a listen to that one.
And even better news, we will have LOI late night back on the airwaves. At least the social media waves, that one will be back on Twitter X, whatever you want to call it. Just look for the off the ball page. And I know that Shane Keegan will be hosting. I'm not too sure he's going to be alongside him, but uh at last, because we've got a a few fixtures on a Friday night, uh which we haven't had for a long time, so LOI late night back this Friday night from ten o'clock after all the games have finished, and you can have your say on your club whether be in the Premier Division or the First Division thing, certainly hopping hotting up, I should say, in the second flight. Gareth McLean, Finney Perth, great to have you both along uh as ever.
Your Virgin Media colleague uh Tommy Martin, I would say is quaking in his boots after watching the host and chair last week, Finney.
Hundred percent.
I tell you Gary
Leneker.
Uh
Gary Lineker.
Steve,
you're you're as safe as houses, Steve. Safe as houses.
Hi tough, and you did a great job. You're very natural in the hosting chair.
I was that good. I was so good. I was so good last week. Well
unfortunately I do it I do it for a lot cheaper than you do, Vinny. So uh that means that I'll be in the hosting chair for a long time yet. Um listen, on the LOIP can I just ask actually Vinny, what how did the pressure of of hosting the LOIP pod, how did that compare to managing Dundalk through a league winning season?
Yeah, I had to put up with this uh Shy from Gareth and I don't hear, so it's very similar.
Um, lads, uh I was gonna well there was one thing I was gonna mention, uh come to it in a moment, but like what a what a mad world where I remember Vinny when Bohemians were playing Dun Doc earlier in the season, me and you were commentating up at Daily Mount Park and there was a moment of the game and Keith Buckley uh made a big tackle of one of his old Bose colleagues. I can't remember who it was now, but you just like were football. I just love what don't you bloody well just love football?
How does the Bohemians vs Derry City clash shape the upcoming league action?
What a game we have. The potential uh move of a man from Sheriffer to Real Betis in Seville has got to be managed by one of the great managers playing in the Champions League. Where we could have a lad from Betty's town and meade, formerly a Bohemian's could be rocking up at Genoa in Serie A like What a game. What a sport. Incredible. Troy Parrot to Raya Bellis. We could have Euro Pal Evan Ferguson playing at Genoa. And like it's always great as well, I think, to see a lad who broke through in the League of Ireland as a youngster and then keep progressing in their career. We had Jack Moylan getting a lot of applauds uh after his performance for his new club, Cardiff City in the English Championship on Monday night against Wrexham.
I watched that game myself.
