What happened with Jon Daly's appointment at Waterford?
Football on Off the Ball.
I definitely have a question about you. Am I OK saying you're committed to Ireland? And he said yes, no problem. So he is in our frame. He might be one that we would call in in June.

Hello and welcome to this week's LOI pod on Off The Ball. Stephen here with you once again. It's been another interesting bank holiday weekend of double-headed fixtures. Some teams happy, some not so happy. We've had a new managerial appointment down at Waterford, so we will be getting into that with the lads in the next few moments.
Can Graham Coughlan replicate his success in the League of Ireland?
But first up, let's have a listen to what happened on Off The Ball last Friday night.
our live game in the League of Ireland Premier Division this evening is Bohemians versus Derry City. Kick-off is at 8pm.
having won in seven so they've gone with colin whelan and douglas james taylor in attack looks like it's going to be a four four two i think at the top end of the park we need to see bows clicking to really wet the apple going to think that they could get us into a title race i i think we all look at dirty and think on paper they look an awful lot better than they are but two wins on the bounce if they can win this game tonight that'll be seven games on the bounce unbeaten with a couple of wins thrown in there and all of a sudden the James McLean stuff not having Michael Duffy in the team it doesn't seem as bad as it was for Tiernan Lynch 38 minutes gone still scoreless at Dalyman Park as Derry City come down the right hand side a marquee body check there by Sam Todd but now it comes out to Ollie Ink on the edge of the box it's time to shoot oh it's gone in
Derry City have taken the lead and Kasper Tchaikovsky is on the ground with his head in his hands. He'd be disappointed if he let that one in. Ball played in. Strauss is into the box. He's onside. He shoots with the right and he scores. Bohemians are level. Marcus Strauss makes the 1-0. He had all the time in the world. He picked his spot in the bottom corner.
What challenges does Shamrock Rovers face without Pico Lopes?
And just like that, Bohemians are level. Oh, that's the full-time whistle from Rob Harvey. A share of the points at Daly Mount Park. Two halves. Second half. They were probably the more dominant team and I think young Ross Tierney came in there and made a huge difference for them. He put his foot in the ball and made them play. What probably didn't help us was losing Kyle Winchester as early as we did because Kyle's the perfect person to deal with that. So, listen, there was lots of things happened there and some really, really positive things. Some things we've got to go back and look at again. Ross Tierney comes on at half-time. How does that conversation go before the match? It's a tough call to make.
We haven't won in so long, so people are obviously going to make changes. People are knocking on their door to get in and play, so you have to be fair to say nothing more than come down and play.
How is Galway United's John Caulfield perceived by fans?
It does really well tonight.
Yes, there you have it. It was Bohemians at home to Derry City last Friday night. And looking across the two nights of fixtures, it is interesting to see that nobody lost both games across the weekend. But, of course, the only side to win both matches at the weekend were Shamrock Rovers. And they keep their place at the top of the Premier Division table. Still behind them are St. Patrick's Athletic. And they are currently sitting three points behind Shamrock Rovers. And then further back, you've got Bohemians And Bohemians and Dundalk, who are tied on 22 points each. They are six behind St. Pat's. And then it's Derry City on 19, Shelburne on 17, along with Galway United. And then Droddy United in eighth position on 16, just a point ahead of Sligo Rovers.
What makes Ciaran Kilduff a successful manager at Dundalk?
And Waterford on six points, propping up the table. Now, we've got Finny Perth, as ever, with us here on LOI Pods. every week.
