The LOI Pod returned with another packed edition as Ben Symes sat in for Stephen Doyle, and he was joined as ever by Vinny Perth and Gareth McGlynn to break down all the biggest stories from a dramatic week in the League of Ireland.
The trio examined those names from the League of Ireland who were included in Heimir Hallgrimsson’s squad for the friendlies with Qatar and Canada.
The lads also discussed whether games could be called off to allow the players involved join the squad.
The issue of intensity and playing standards also proved a bone of contention and where the league has come from over the years.
Dundalk and Drogheda United take each other on in another Louth derby this Friday, and are Waterford about to turn a corner with Graham Coughlan in charge?
Also after Shelbourne defeated St. Patricks Athletic last week, can both of those sides turn attentions to hunting down leaders Shamrock Rovers?
