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

A Guide to League of Ireland 2023 W/ Kieran Burke /...

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,

Sports journalist Stephen Looney jumps on the pod to help pick our way through the final throws of one of the biggest January transfer windows the league has ever scene. What impact could these moves have on the destination of the Gibson Cup and which teams are still in the league next year?

2023/01/24

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

We pick through the big moments of the Irish Cups 5th round, react to a rather tasty last 16 draw and give you all the latest from what is already one of the most significant January transfer windows the league has seen.

The season of dark horses is over, and it's now time for teams to show their spots. With the new year comes a chance for teams to refresh their squads, and some have been more keen that others early doors. We take a look back the the NYD +1 results, review the latest transfer news and musings. Plus, consider NIFL Chief Executive Gerard Lawlor's recent

Pitch On Fire

Kicking Match: An Irish League Podcast ·

2022/12/14

Where there is a will there is a way. And sometimes 'the will' looks like a large cannister of propane. Plastic pitches came up trumps this weekend for the three games in the NIFL Premiership, while Portadown's pitch proved it may be the Bear Grylls of the league by pulling through to host their first home win since March. Shamrock Park has seen more adversities over the years than some merger frost. While Portadown are set to appeal their lost points against Newry City last week, Dungannon kept

While the weather might make you think of jumping into a set of skiing overalls and swagger your way down to a game, the action on the pitch provided plenty of fire as the title chase continues to heat up. Crusaders claim supremacy over Glentoran as the East Belfast side's form continues to slide. Linfield make it ten unbeaten over the weekend as Cliftonville get a front row seat to the McDaid show as they tumble at Warden Street. Portadown on the other hand not only get their first goal of the

It was a category 5 baltic weekend just past, and while most fans are wrapping themselves up, Glentoran thought wrapping Conor McMenamin in cotton wool this winter was for the birds. With the icy air it was up to the leading pack to not slip and fall as we stake towards the busy festive period. Matthew Brown from the Shout at the Oval podcast is our guest this week and tackles all the tough topics. Like which team has the best social media graphics, can a club have too many R.

A week of drama on and off the pitch, with the league's premier player facing a potential multi-month lay off due to an injury sustained from a controversial tackle which only resulted in a yellow card. Fans and manager were furious, but did some heat of the moment comments cross a line? With Glentoran stuttering this week, the chasing pack have remained unrelenting with Larne claiming top spot after blasting nine goals in two games. Cliftonville and Linfield take care of business as Newry earn what
