Episode 34 - Burke stunner continues Dublin derby t streak

Shamrock Rovers head into the international break six points clear at the top of the League of Ireland Premier Division after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St Patrick's Athletic in Tallaght Stadium.

We discuss Burke's wonder goal, Jake Mulraney's positive display, the defensive performances of Lee Grace and Roberto Lopes, Ed McGinty's contribution to another clean sheet and how Stephen Bradley's side managed to withstand late pressure from Pats to secure all three points.

With back-to-back derby wins over Bohs and St Pats, we also assess what this latest result means in the context of the title race as Rovers extend their advantage at the summit.

Elsewhere, we discuss the Republic of Ireland squad after Ed McGinty and Adam Brennan were both included for the friendly against Qatar but remained unused substitutes. We also look ahead to the upcoming trip to Canada, where McGinty and Brennan remain in the squad, and Matt Healy has since earned a call-up.

Is the international break arriving at a good time for Shamrock Rovers? Should League of Ireland players be getting more opportunities in friendly internationals? And just how significant could this latest derby victory prove in the weeks ahead?
