Football on Off the Ball. How many times did you see a long ball going up to Yocker Hez and the two centre-halves for Adleti letting it bounce and then him backing in and winning fouls?

Hello and welcome to the LOI Pod on Off the Ball. Stephen with you again this week as we look ahead to another weekend's action in the SSE Articity Men's Premier Division. Before we do that, let's listen to what happened last Friday night on Off the Ball.
Go to Margaret, Megan, yes, you are welcome to Aime at DC Park, it's the home of Galway United where the Triesmen are taking on Shamrock Rovers tonight. Ball knocked long to Sabo Ali, heads it inside to McGovern, McGovern then knocks it forward to Michael Noonan, running down the inside right channel, he's on the edge of the box, he's got a shoot and it's that boot and it's a goal for Shamrock Rovers! Would you believe it? Just 50 seconds on the clock here at Aime at DC Park. and the club from Tata have got the lead, it's Michael Newland scoring just his third goal of the Premier Division season, and that is a huge blow for the home team, conceding so so early, Healy gives it to Jack Byrne, Byrne out to Subwali again, the right hand side, puts it across, oh it's come off the post, and Brendan is there, still took it home from close range, it was a mistake at the back, I think it came off Kasim, he wasn't ready for it,
And as it deflected off his head. It hit the post on this near side. And it came out to Adam Brennan. Who had the easiest finish you will ever see. To make it after 25 minutes. Galway United 0. Shamrock Rovers 2. Here is the corner kick towards the near post. And it's into the back of the net. It's a goal for Galway United. A header at the near post. A brilliant header. And as they celebrate here, Matty Wolfe who came off the bench was the man to rise and meet the corner. Unchallenged, a brilliant header from a bullet corner kick. Brennan puts the cross in, but it's headed away only as far as Matt Healy. Josie Mbuna tries to tee him up, he has to go out to Saboali. Saboali is the shot and it's a goal for Shamrock Rovers.
it's an absolute ripper of an effort there from Saba Wally he was inside the box probably about 10 yards away from the goal line he whacked it with his right foot and Evan Watts would have no chance of saving that one it's into the back of the net it's goal with United 1 Shamrock Rovers 3 with 73 minutes on the clock and it has finished in a victory for Shamrock Rovers away to Galway United three goals to one Galway United were actually very competitive for large parts of the game and as I said particularly when the game was 2-1 they looked like they could put Shamrock Rovers in a little bit of trouble but I suppose the market champion Shamrock Rovers when they really needed it when they really needed their players to step up they managed to get themselves out of it these aren't the games that are going to define Galway United's season any result tonight I suppose would have been a bonus for them but both managers to some degree will be content with their night's work
How damaging was it to lose your two centre-backs like Bruder and Fletcher Nair? You have been that partnership.
It was such a blow because both of them have played every minute of every game. And it's such a good partnership built up. But look, Williams came in and he was brilliant tonight. And in fairness to Conor McCormack, we all know he was a midfielder, but he was in the centre-back. We knew Frankie was out during the week. He should be back for next week. And Bruder had a bug. When Roberto Lopez goes to the World Cup,
It's almost like a dress rehearsal, getting those different back three combinations.
