I worked with Gregor since twenty twelve, he's a Glasgow coach then, so fourteen years you're obviously gonna have up one, two, however however many bust ups it is.
I think the f with the way that Finn has dealt with that is to his credit. He doesn't bear grudges, it's just it's been that's gone, move on to the next one.

And good afternoon and welcome to this week's LOI pod. Um you'll notice that I'm in the hot seat. Uh our host, Steve O'Doyle, joins us on the line um from Kosovo. He's done a little bit of work this week and keeping us occupied. And uh very special guest this week as Garrett's away. Dave MacMillan, um one of one of the great people uh I've ever met, um my wife's favourite player. player that I ever coached is David, uh, for some strange reason. So it's brilliant to have him in. I think this is a brilliant week to have him in. David, obviously you've lost a record of being Ireland's top European score League of Ireland's top European score recently. I'm sure that hurt you, I hope it did. Um David is we haven't really caught up yet.
We met down the bottom of the stairs so um haven't seen it in a while but But we're around that reunion time, aren't we, where a lot of talk around two thousand sixteen when I think that team probably captured even probably the the nation's sort of attention and you spearheaded that with front scoring all those goals. So uh it's great to have you on board. And Steve O checking in from Kosovo. Steve oh, how are you?
Yeah, I'm in good form, lads, in good form. Thanks. And uh first question I wanna know is David, what is uh Vinnie Pert's hairdryer treatment like?
Um I don't know Vinny had that tricky role of going from uh assistant manager to manager, I suppose. So we maybe went from best friends to bit of a love hate relationship over the years, but um now Vinny's uh Vinny wouldn't be one for blowing the head off people, I think, just uh a sensible head in the dressing room all the time.
Yeah, he's too probably boring you with uh his tactics uh board probably at half time, he wouldn't have time for the hairdryer, that's the thing.
I didn't even do tactics with them lads, didn't have to. It was so easy back then, wasn't it? So um Da David if funny Dav Steve oh, David probably he's the only player that ever made me cry, but ironically it was probably would would it be you've had some good performances, right? We won't make a Dave Macmillan show, I don't like the under. But the twenty twenty cup final. Uh would that be probably in terms of Your best performance or in time uh what em like what would you your best performance around that time have been? Uh
that cup final was I assume I should know the years, but I'm assuming that's the hat trick cup final. Yeah, hat tri y actually had a terrible So Steve Oh,
do you remember David got a hat trick and an FAI cup finally just blaz about it there and which one are you talking about? And that would be David's sons of that.
Somebody said to me, You're the most unlucky man in the world. You know, you score a hat trick in the cup final, but there was nobody there. It was like that didn't bother me in the slightest. I still score a hat-trick, I was quite happy. Um No, it was a fun that was a weird game 'cause I was I actually was playing poorly. I tell you it wasn't far from coming off and then got one and man just said, Leave it as it is and you go and score a hat trick.
