Hello, yes it is the LOI Pod on Off the Ball. Stephen Doyle with you again this week and there's a whole lot going on with European football. Some signings in a quiet enough transfer window in the summer and a new man in the dugout at the showgrounds. Just a reminder that there will be a live League of Ireland Pod at All Together Now. That is the Absolutely brilliant music festival on Denham Waterford this bank holiday weekend. We will be in the Go Loud Lounge at six o'clock on the Sunday of the festival. Vinnie Perth and I will be joined by Brian Kerr on the night. Many stories to hear from the great man, including getting his arse burnt by one of Billy Baxter's cigarettes. So to hear more about that, join us at six o'clock this Sunday in the Go Loud Lounge, the yellow-white pod.
is going live now. Just before I bring the lads in, let's have a listen to what happened on Off The Ball Unused Talk last Friday night. They only have 12 games to go this season. St. Patrick's Athletic sitting in third place in the table above tonight's visitors. It's vital for the home team, St. Pat's, to get a positive result. If they want to keep the pressure up on the reigning champions, Shamrock Rovers... Dundalk, meanwhile, have dropped off the pace set by the top three, having lost their three matches in the league. Most recently, the loud derby plays out to Horgan on the left-hand side. Horgan goes around the outside of Joe Redman, puts it across towards the back post.
Well, he gets a smack in the face and he's down and the referee says penalty. He agrees with De Ritchie.
I think it was Anto Breslin that collided with him, but he did seem to lead with the elbow. Clarke took a really hard knock to the face there, and he went down straight away.
Joe and I, he saved five out of 12 penalties in the League of Ireland, but he's not saving that one because Daryl Horgan has whacked it into the roof of the net. That is a superb penalty from one of Dundalk's most superb ever players, Daryl Horgan, the skipper, leading by example from the spot.
He's put his team in front here in the 35th minute. It's a Patrick's Athletic now, Dundalk 1. A kick to come here, Keane Levy's gone down for the short one, Keane fires it in!
And there's the leveller. A brilliant, classic Sean Hall finish with the head. He rose up unmarked. It was a super delivery from Aidan Keener. He had all the pace he needed for that header to be directed past the goalkeeper with pace.
Mano did have a chance. Went right through his hands. 55 minutes here and into goal. St. Patrick's Athletic won. Dundalk won. A wriggle away from the St. Pat's defence. and eventually there is the full-time whistle blown by Kevin O'Sullivan and the spoils are shared by the two teams Stephen Kenny up against his old love Dundall tonight with so much riding on this game how frustrated do you think Stephen Kennedy feeling tonight Richie?
That's a missed opportunity, Stephen, if you're looking at it from Stephen Kenny's point of view. Obviously, the Bohemians and Sean McRoberts are not playing tonight. It's a big, big chance to get three points on the board and put serious pressure on the ones that's ahead of them.
It was your last game at hand. How frustrated are you that you haven't closed the gap a bit more on Sean McRoberts?
I'm pleased that we came back and didn't lose the game. I think that was important. I think it's a brilliant goal from Sean Hoare. An absolutely astounding header. Good corner from Aidan Keane. You know, obviously, everyone was disappointed. The fact that... We were nowhere. People at the start of the season didn't really fancy us to do much.
