Over Eight Thousand Reasons

2023/03/28

Linfield rolled back the year (or months) as they showcased their title credentials. They've duffed two of the leagues bottom teams, but could those just be warm ups for what's to come. Doesn't help that sense of the inevitable happening once again as league leaders Larne fail to dispatch a 10 man Coleraine. It's Irish Cup semi-final weekend coming up so we preview that, and use the lack of games as a chance to question what the league could be doing to grown and engage new fans. My

Larne are acing every test the Gibson cup has been setting them recently and it's made all the better for them that title challenges continue to slip and fall away in pursuit. Perhaps Dungannon will be on their end of season greeting card, another double at Solitude crushing the North Belfast faithfuls' hearts for the second time the season. Where does this leave Cliftonville and their campaign to be champions? How important could those be for the Swifts at the bottom of the table. And lets

We take a look back at the showpiece League Cup Final which left Coleraine devastated and Linfield hoping for more. In league action, we may have seen the game of the season as Portadown left it until the final minutes of their match against Newry to pull themselves out of the darkest of relegation threatened holes, at least for now. Plus, could Friday football be the future of the Irish League? We double up on guests this week to cover it all as Peter is joined by Ross Welsh and Josef McCallion of

Kicking Match: An Irish League Podcast ·

2023/02/20

The Irish League is in full flow, but our cousins in the League Of Ireland have just kicked off their new season for 2023. And to be honest, we have a lot of questions. So we called up fellow podcaster and football journalist Kieran Burke to give us an insight into what's been going on while the league was away, who are the favourites for glory and do they talk about the idea of an All Island League as much as some within Irish League circles do? --- Send in a voice message:

The title race isn't just heating up, it's not bubbling away either. It's on full power boil, and the only thing holding it back from complete overflow is a metaphorical wooden spoon hanging on across the pot. Add in the rather spicy pepper that is Kyle Lafferty signing for Linfield into the pot and we have a concoction you can't take you eyes off. We chat to a man repping the team currently leading the pack, writer and commentator from the Larne Media team Mark Strange. We talk the team's rise to

Sports Journalist Mark McIntosh (The Sun) returns to the pod for a frank discussion on Irish League finances. In a week which saw reports of Ballymena United looking to potentially cut costs and increase revenue to make the club more financially sustainable, we ask if we should be concerned about the chance some clubs are over extending themselves? What lessons should we learn from the past? And is the current market of transfer fees and wages truly the new normal or a bubble that could burst? Plus,

Admin mishaps once again plague Portadown as their appeal against NIFL's decision to award Newry City a 3-0 victory from their key meeting in December is dismissed by Irish FA. We spend time talking to the Belfast Telegraph's Keith Bailie, the man who originally broke the story, to get down to the roots of this case and decipherer what Portadown have been punished for. Could it have been avoided? What did the Mid-Ulster club base their appeal on? And does the punishment fit the apparent law
