But all together now, Vinnie Perth, I think, is good enough, Nick, to join us this week. And we do, of course, have Gareth McGlynn, who is the perfect man to discuss the big news that has just broken within the last hour. of us recording the podcast. Derry City have let go of their manager, Tiernan Lynch. We will be discussing that one big time over the next hour, plus all of this week's fixtures and much, much more. But before we do that, let's have a listen to what happened on Off the Ball last Friday night. Well, Shamrock Rovers are certainly reeling after their Champions League exit and head coach Stephen Bradley will be demanding a response from his players tonight as they look to widen the gap between themselves and the chasing pack.
They come up against a drug side that has been rejuvenated over the last couple of weeks. The Boyntsiders need points though with just four points separating them and Waterford. comes in field thinks the ball into the area he's coming to the end line he's going to be pulled back and it's a header on right on the line there by Aaron Green and somehow United get it away he thinks the ball into the box here for Aaron Green Aaron Green avoids the tackle then plays a short pass for O'Sullivan and it's come off the post and then it's put out of play for a corner kick was John O'Sullivan hit that first time the ball came at him with pace the ball down the right hand side Will Fitzgerald's going to run to this he nods it into the box fires it in towards the goal oh it's just gone past the back post

Will at the Sheralds. Just played on the shoulder of Conor Cain. Got in behind him. Great ball over the top by Lopez.
just takes a little balance of this hits over again destroys it right across the box inches wider the far post should I say there would be Lopez in the air stopped at the feet of answering answer now plays out to a Lua robbers player scrambling back to defend this one the Lua running towards the end line and he square it gets around the finger oh it's saved by epic AT that was a brilliant chance a Lua did so so well to create the opportunity and answer him Couldn't get past Ed McGinty. It remains scoreless just inside the last five minutes which have been added on.
That is the best chance of the game by far. And Healy then got and plays a four to Aloua.

What is the opening preview and who are the hosts of this LOI Pod episode?
He gets taken down by Roberto Lopez. I think he could be off. And it's got to be a red card I think here. Laid on for Shamrock Lovers. It's a straight card. A straight red card for Pico Lopez. And Keely and Lopez are going at it here now. And Lopez really needs to get off the field here.
I don't think he needs to make the challenge. Well, he does need to make the challenge. I don't think it's a red card. I think the referee has acted far too quickly. I think he's got caught up in the crowd. The feedback is it's final conduct. I don't think it is. Is it a booking? Yes. Is it a free kick? Yes.
I don't think it's a sending off.
Why did Derry City part ways with manager Tiernan Lynch?
But do we need to make the challenge? Probably not. He's going to be out for some important games, I suppose. He's going to get a three-match suspension. But do you feel he'll be able to weather that storm in a way? We've done it. He's been away for seven weeks in the World Cup, you know, and we're top of the league.
So this team and this squad is not built on any one person or individuals.
