Yes, you are. Welcome to the LOI pod on Off The Ball. Stephen Doar here with you again. St. Patrick's Athletic are back at the summit. Let's listen back to what happened on Off The Ball last Friday. They definitely have a team capable of putting up the Shamrock Rovers, but I just wonder about the depth of the St. Patrick's Athletic squad. And I would imagine that Stephen Kenny would like to get a couple of players in, maybe in the summer transfer window. But to lose like that when you had a chance to go toe-to-toe with the champions a couple of weeks ago, they'd be really disappointed with that. I think this is a really big game for Bohemians because if they were to lose this, lose three in the trot, you know, I'm not going to say Alan Reynolds is going to be under pressure, but the supporters definitely won't be happy with him.
And I think Bohemians really need to win this game tonight.
And it is time for another huge night of live League of Ireland action. Shamrock Rovers have the chance to power on at the top of the table up in Derry. But we're locked in on the Dublin Derby at Richmond Park. It is St. Pat's against Bohemians. And your commentary team is Richie Towle. And first, Stephen Doyle.
Ross Tierney goes back to his goalkeeper, Kasper Hraska. And he knocks it long. Up for James Taylor. Knocks it down. What's a good run in here for Strauss. Has a shot. Oh my goodness. It's a goal for Bohemians. I don't believe it. That is absolutely incredible. Bohemians have taken it. Bagley, he's trying to get around Pat Hickey, just put a ball into the box and it was a dangerously low ball. Sam Todd was down on his knees heading that away. It's cleared up to De Rooney, but he loses possession there. And there's a shot from the edge of the box and it's Edmondson with the goal for St Patrick's at Lennon. They've got an equaliser. Game back in play here. It's out with Del Bazzetti. Nice pass out from Bagley. Del Bazzetti, oh, it's a lovely ball through.
Two defenders there for Keane Leib to pull it back to the end line. Oh, Todd gets the block, comes out to Lennon.
It's a goal for St Patrick's at Lennon.
Jamie Lennon flying in there. He's got the lay-off. It has been a brilliant game here at Richmond Park tonight, Owen. At half-time, it is St. Patrick's Athletic 2, Bohemians 1. With the corner kick, picked on the front post, and it's another goal for St. Pat's. And it's Ryan Edmondson at the back post. A brilliant move from the corner kick. But tonight, it has finished here. Three points going to St.
Patrick's Athletic, who, as it stands, are top of the Premier Division.
What challenges are Bohemians facing this season?
We've been here before. I would say, you know, we're just having a bad spell. We had a great spell at the start of the season. We didn't get ahead of ourselves now. We just need to stick together. Stick together and, you know, focus on next week. There's a lot of young players in there and they're getting to see that it's not easy to play for Bowes.
It's very badly of an exhibition in recovering and tackling.
Yeah.
Where it's speed over the ground to actually... He looks second. Best likely to be behind a player to actually run so quickly and retrieve the ball with the outside of his left foot. It's a sort of art, isn't it? It's a skill. Brilliant. And certainly Jamie in the position was very influential. And Cain's just a joy, isn't he? Cain Levy's just a joy to watch, isn't he? Every time he gets on it.
Yeah, absolutely. Stephen Kenny there speaking about his wonderful midfield trio's performance on Friday night as they beat Bohemians by three goals to one. So after the weekend's result, the Hoops are second just ahead of Dundalk and third. Then it's Bowles being chased by Derry City in the top half of the table.
