Between the Stripes LOI podcast episodes

February 24 S10 Ep4: S10EP4: Gareth McGlynn, Louth Derby Violence & Joanna Byrne v Trivela
There's only one place to start this week as Kieran & Gary host an honest discussion on the dark scenes that marred Friday's Louth Derby. It's been an awful week for Drogheda United, with a public and bitter boardroom fallout taking its toll on manager Kevin Doherty, who we hear from on the show.
We also hear from Gareth McGlynn as the former Candystripes chats all things Derry City. Cobh Ramblers manager Fran Rockett also features on a jam-packed pod.
We've got a very busy BTS Hotline, the BTS Predictions League and our BTS Charity bet sponsored by BAR 1 Betting (18+, gamblingcare.ie)
As ever, we're brought to you by QuinnAv.ie

February 18 S10 Ep3: S10EP3 Rain Rain Go Away
Another weekend of disruption isn't enough to stop Kieran & Gaz from rambling on about the League of Ireland for almost 90 minutes.
Derry's less than convinving start, the late penalty given against Dundalk, Jon Daly's sluggish start at Waterford, and the opening weekend of the First Division are all covered in depth.
As ever, there's the BTS Predictions League, BTS Hotline and BTS Charity bet.

February 11 S10 Ep2: S10EP2 with Jack Brady : Opening weekend review & First Division Preview
The League of Ireland roared back into life last week, with late drama in Derry and Galway grabbing the headlines. That momentum took a hit on Sunday at the Aviva, though, raising fresh questions about hosting league games at the national stadium — something Kieran and Gaz get stuck into.
Alongside our 2026 First Division preview and a chat with Treaty United goalkeeper Jack Brady, the lads also react to Roddy Collins’ comments on James McClean.
There’s plenty more too, with a bumper BTS Hotline, the latest BTS Predictions League, and our new charity bet feature, sponsored by BAR 1 Betting (18+, Gamblingcare.ie).
Another man excited for the return of the First Division is our long-term sponsor, Anthony Quinn of QuinnAv.ie.

February 04 S10 Ep1: S10EP1 with Alan Cawley!
We're back with series 10 of Between the Stripes LOI podcast! Alan Cawley is our first guest of the year, as he runs the rule over the pack for 2026, and offers us an alternative title selection.
Kieran & Gary reflect on the main lessons to be taken from the Presidents Cup, and offer their own views on what may be to come in the league this year.
The BTS Predictions League and BTS Hotline are back, while we have a new charity bet feature with thanks to BAR 1 Betting.
It's great to be back, we really hope you enjoy this special 10th season of the pod, which is brought to you by our long-term sponsor QuinnAv.ie, and BAR 1 Betting.

November 11, 2025 S9 Ep37: Season Finale with Oisin Hand
The curtain comes down on another season of the pod as Shamrock Rovers complete a historic double and Waterford FC secure their status as a top-flight team for 2026.

Kieran & Gaz reflect on the year that was by dishing out their cup final and play-off reflections and their club by club season report cards, who were the star students and who flunked out?

The BTS end of season and team of the year awards should spark a debate or two, while Oisin Hand is our final guest of the year. Hand discusses his cup final emotions as an Ex-Rovers youngster who didn't make the grade in Tallaght, despire captaining a Hoops youth team containing the likes of Cory O'Sullivan, and why he's switching Longford for Athlone next term.

A huge thanks to our sponsor again this season - QuinnAv.ie

November 05, 2025 S9 Ep36: S9EP36 Baz Murphy, Xmas Tree Chaos and Cup Final Preview Pod
Our penultimate pod of the season is a big one — and maybe our best yet!

Barry Murphy joins us to preview Sunday’s FAI Cup Final and reflect on a dramatic Premier Division campaign.

Kieran and Gary dive into all the major talking points from the final day — from Rovers’ fifth title in six years, to Alan Reynolds’ candid response to fan criticism, Stephen Kenny’s struggles at St Pat’s, and plenty more.

The BTS Hotline is buzzing like never before, plus we’ve got honourable mentions for Jack Crowley, Ivan Yates, and Ciara’s Christmas tree chaos.

October 29, 2025 S9 Ep35: S9EP35 Statements, Statements, and More Statements
It's the final week of the season in the LOI Premier Division and everything is still up for grabs. Meanwhile, Dundalk are once again on the brink of implosion as a very bitter and public ownership battle plays out, the lads have their say.

October 22, 2025 S9 Ep34: S9EP34 Does Anyone Want Europe?
It’s another packed episode as Kieran and Gary open with a scathing assessment of Ireland’s lacklustre showing against Armenia.

Did Bohemians act too soon handing Alan Reynolds and his staff new two-year deals before securing European football? And does anyone actually want those final European spots?

The relegation scrap is heating up with Galway, Sligo, and Waterford all level on points, while the First Division play-offs are overshadowed by Mick McDermott’s bizarre exit from Cobh.

All that and plenty more in this week’s episode — proudly brought to you by our sponsor, QuinnAv.ie.

October 14, 2025 S9 Ep33: S9EP33 Lovely Lisbon & Dervin Delight
The lads are back from Lisbon and are keen to catch up on the latest LOI talking points from Dundalk's return to the big time to St.Pat's FAI Cup horror show and the launch of gov support for LOI acadmies.

Dundalk Vice Captain Aodh Dervin joins us to reflect on the Lilywhites title success and how he aims to silence the doubters (us included) next season.

October 01, 2025 S9 Ep32: S9EP32 The Final Stretch
As the 2025 League of Ireland season enters the final stretch, Kieran & Gary break down Friday’s thrilling Dublin derby, John Coleman’s sacking, more unrest at Turners Cross, and the battle to beat the drop.

In the First Division, Dundalk look to have one hand on the trophy – but how will they handle life back in the top flight, and will they be the only side going up?

After finding their shooting boots in last week’s predictions league, the lads go again with picks for this weekend’s domestic and European action.

There’s also a packed BTS Hotline, plenty of Twitter reaction, and a look ahead to Ireland’s upcoming international window.
