One of the biggest headline grabbing characters in the Irish League has left our touchlines. Recorded before the news broke, this week we spent time with Matthew Brown of the Shout at the Oval podcast to breakdown all the bumps along the way which led to Glentoran manager Mick McDermott stepping away from the post. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kickingmatch/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kickingmatch/support

A cup round short on shocks serves up plenty for us to dissect. From a banner protest by plastic sacks of air to bumper transfer swap deals. 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. Top sports reporter Barry Flynn returns to the pod to break down all the comings and goings in the championship and puts a spotlight on clubs

With the festive period in the rear-view, we bounce into the new year with an abundant title field and a potentially expanding drop zone collective. 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

Festive Fallout - A Boxing Day Recap

2022/12/28

It's great to have Boxing Day back! A couple of thrillers too as the most heated rivals player out on a brisk afternoon. Blues cool heads prevailed at the Oval, Crusaders with a greatest hits performance in North Belfast and Shevlin was the difference on the North coast. Big crowds mean a big podcast, this week joined by Belfast Live reporter and Queen's Radio Sports Editor Lauren McCann. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kickingmatch/message Support this

One of the biggest weeks in the Northern Irish football calendar. With our bellies fully of copious amounts of mini-foods and the head splitting from the Christmas doo, we put all that festive spirt of companionship and unity to one side for 90 minutes, as the annual Boxing Day derby slate welcomes in bumper crowds. We look back at the games that did go ahead this weekend past, preview NIFL's biggest day of games as we dive into all the potential Boxing day drama and highlight every team's biggest

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

That's if the potential suggestions by their owner Ali Pour on a new home for the East Belfast men becomes a reality, we talk to Matthew Brown of the Shout At The Oval podcast.

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.

2022/11/14

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

We're in the peak of Autumn and as the leaves change many clubs in the Irish League are following suit. Be it who's on top of the league to their manager, teams are shaking it up. Niall Currie returns to the Ports as manager but at this stage guiding them to safety looks like a bigger task than a three point turn in the Suez Canal. Could Dungannon be dipping into the managerial market soon as their season continues to stutter. Forget Disneyland, the Oval is the happiest place on earth if you're a

The Away Team In Black

The only thing more scary than losing to one title rival in a week, is losing to a second one. But something even more bone chilling would be to find out you might not even be title challengers yourself anymore!!! Now that is eerie! The fact that there was three 4-2 wins just feels like a coincidence now. With goals galore and a cohort of title challengers emerging, we called up a man who has described more goals than Glenavon has had red cards, radio sports specialist Barry Flynn. Barry fills us in

From a rip roaring BelClassico to a 5 minute hatrick, this Irish League season has officially thrown off the shackles of early season chin scratching, has has now entered the sphere of known quantities. The good teams are looking great and those lagging behind have barely left the traps. What this really means is that Glentoran could not look more impressive, while Larne's glow up from last season is almost complete after a thrashing of title rivals Cliftonville.

These top six teams just can't get out of each other's way, and unfortunately for us this effective truce is creating games more boring than your kids school play. That is except for Glentoran who just keep winning and doing it in style. But a new game week beckons and so does the first BelClassico of the season. Can Linfield jump start their season? Is the split already set in stone and could Portadown fans start thinking about how they'll get to H&W Welders next season? Chief Sports Writer of

One of the most well informed and straight talking journos in the country makes his debut for this jam packed pod as we welcome Mark McIntosh from the Sun.

As the sun sets on this small period of time when we play football during summer, like a screaming schoolchild being grasped by the cold embrace of September, there are those who want it to be a footballing summer all the time. Obviously there's been some rather measured discourse online in reaction to these completely fresh suggestions and in the name of content we're talking about it. We also round up all those who just HAD to wait until the very moments of the Transfer Window and swap clubs on

Clubs in need of some retail therapy have mere hours left to add a wantaway defender or a statement signing. We try to wade through the quagmire of hearsay, double source some transfer drama and speculate where some players could end up. Linfield turned the biggest game in their history into a four day nightmare, how will they recover? Glenavon shock the Bannsiders, Newry shock Glenavon and Glentoran shock nobody by thumping the Ports on TV. Stephen Looney jumps on board as co-captain this week, but
