Here To See The Shelbourne

It's short and not so sweet this week as we look back at the defeat to Waterford. More defensive errors and was the performance a fair reflection of the year overall? Terrible home form, the fourth-place finish and we assess John Russell's season. What comes next, rebuild priorities, team togetherness and player responsibility.

Join us next week for our full season finale.

The Shels women clinch European football after a tense draw in Galway. Alex Kavanagh's standout display, the club backing and the refereeing flashpoints in a scrappy finish.

Over in Dalymount is Mipo finally hitting his best form and how fans should think about the atmosphere, pyro and supporter behaviour. We also share Dalymount memories, look at late-season improvement and preview Waterford, and close with an honest chat about football, mental health and the importance of minding your mates.

After a huge away win at St Pats, we go through the nerves, the atmosphere and the awful start the team survived, then the halftime tactical change that turned the game. Are the players finally playing for John Russell?

We also cover the big-game mentality, the crowd flashpoints and the rivalry debate, including whether things went over the line at Richmond Park. Then there's Ali Coote's reckless red card, a close look at the defence options.

On the women's side, we look at the draw with Athlone, Becky Watkins' big equaliser and the standout performers, and then preview whether Shels can finish the job against Galway.

We look back at the men's 5-1 win over Sligo. How the team went from an uneasy first half to a ruthless second half. Mipo and John Martin, we also get into injuries, transfer rumours. What has gone wrong for Will Jarvis this season? How much will missing out on Europe hurts Shels finances and recruitment and whether Mbeng is judged too harshly.

We preview the women's clash with Athlone and the race for Europe, and celebrate the big crowds and feel-good factor building around the club.

We look ahead to the Sligo game in Tolka Park, why it's a must-win, the mood in the dressing room, and whether the season has slipped into disaster territory. Plus the bigger-picture rebuild: expectations, structures, youth pathways, and some well-deserved praise for Jack Moylan.

We chat about the women's patient win over Waterford, the standout performers, and why goal difference could prove decisive in the run-in.

The Women's FAI Cup Champions! We break down Sean Russell's tactical masterclass, why the team bounced back from two league defeats to lift the trophy, and the standout performances from Mya Sanchez, Alex Kavanagh and Halle Harcourt.

What the cup means for the league run-in and European qualification, the touchline energy on the day, Athlone's response, and the disappointing attendance — timing, pricing, and the clash with the Ireland game all in the mix.

For the men, another 1-1 draw in Galway. The penalty debate, why Shels keep failing to kick on after scoring, the lack of attacking edge, goalkeeping positives, Sean Boyd's situation, and the case for a squad refresh.

No one ever said supporting Shels was easy, but last weekend certainly tested us all. Tolka home form continues to be a major issue and all of a sudden we're really stuck in the middle. Fran tells us why we're in a real Dogfight. JR isn't blameless but the players must

We talk about both home defeats and the WPD loss to Sligo ends any realistic chance of a league title.

Lots of comments in the mailbag, we do read them all.

The lads unpack the frustrating draw in Galway and ask whether John Russell's shape is actually building toward next season — or repeating old habits. Along the way, we welcome the new Austrian signing, Collie's dispatch from the women's North Carolina friendly and the carnival at Tolka Park, growing worries about mentality, new contracts and what they signal about squad planning, the Paddy Barrett selection question, and a look ahead to Shamrock Rovers. We close on the women's title race and why DLR Waves is a must win.
