There's been difficulties between Finn Russell and Gregor Townsend going back a little while. Catastrophic news for Scotland. I worked with Gregor since twenty twelve, he was a Glasgow coach then, so fourteen years you're obviously gonna have uh 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.
I'm Finn

LOI wrapp-up. Live and exclusive commentary of the League of Ireland men's Premier Division. All season on off the ball. Welcome along to this week's edition of the LOI wrap-up. I'm Ross Vanigan. On this week's episode, the title race heats up, Shells end the bad streak, and Derry getting themselves a safety net. But first, Bowes almost saw their chances at a first lead title on 17 years slip away in Daddy Man Park last night, but it was Captain Dawson DeVoy who scored the crucial goal to get them all three points in an increasingly exciting title race. Bowes opened the score on McConnor Paris instead in the opener just three minutes before the half. However, draw the Held tough and Andrew Quinn leveled the game halfway through the second half.
Draw to manager Kevin Daugherty got sent off shortly after the close balls missed by Douglas James Tedder, with Duy scoring the winner and sending the Pittsburgh ground into a frenzy. After that 2-1 win, Bohemian still sit in third on 56 points, level with Patsen second and three points behind league leader Shamakrowers. And when his LOI pod Gartman Glenn and Ben Simes discussed what could be a special season for the North Dublin Club. Of course, that was before it was announced, Bows would continue. Continue to play in Daddy Mont Park until May next year. The other thing that I I think I th I think I might have said it last week, lads. There was a moment throughout the season where you kinda just you just kinda remembered this is their last season at Daily Mount Park.
They're into a cup semi final. They're back in a title race. Are we just in the middle of watching something? I don't wanna say something special. And I know we could be a dreamer. But that moment on Friday night certainly felt like a moment where pfft, maybe we're meant to have this. We've all been yearning for a for a three team title race and the gods have given it to us. It feels weird. Like if you're if you're another team in the league and I know look, Gareth, if if people are a Derry Persuasion or you know, would have ambitions of being in a title race this season Like how are other teams looking at this? Are you looking at this going, We're glad to see the end of Shamakrovers? We're happy to he see maybe another team do in the league Or are you looking at it going, God, that could have been us?
This is the year where Shamakrovers slipped
us and this could have been us. Everybody said at the year Shelburne won the league. Everybody said, and and people in Derry in the club asked me, Oh, are we going to every year are we going to win it? I said, it's not about winning the league. It's about being ready when Sham McGrovers aren't at their best. And Derry said he weren't ready, Pats weren't ready, bows weren't ready. You look at the way the Bows have recruited over the last four or five years, all the good young players that they bought into the club, just one or two, not mass changes, one or two. Certain positions needed to be strengthened, they strengthened them. They just kept going and building. Now they're seeing the fruits of that. And these players are still in their mid-twenties a lot.
