A short, special episode this week, with Bobby Best: In Memoriam. Eight good friends of Bobby - Giggsy Hand, Mark Butler, Mark Turner, Mick Byrne, George Kelly, Robert Goggins, Jim Conroy and Mick McCarthy share their memories of the great man.

There's a recap of the home wins over Waterford and Cork, Pico's fatherhood and Greener's 100 Club, and the Members Corner with Rovers website and internet pioneers Paul Thomas and Gerry Matthews, and a cameo from Forkie on the SRFC Ultras forum (2018 replay). Christine Allen reports on the women's team, including another Ruesha Littlejohn free kick.

We got the Galway trip from the perspective of two different buses, and an inevitable 14th consecutive win out west, and a new edition of the TFTES Hotline with Jimmy Maguire, Dunster, Aidan O'Reilly, Dean Creevey, Eoghan Rice, Macdara, The Gent and The Hogg.

We talk the Shels and Sligo games, Rory, Roddy and Ian Harte. There's an interview with St Pat's fan 'Dodge' as Rovers look for their first league win of the season on Friday night.

We've got one of the worst games of all time against Derry and one of the most interesting editions of the Members Corner ever with Lighting Designer Steven Douglas joining us in the Lair. Steven has toured with the Killers, Hozier and The Corrs for many years and worked with a number of famous performers all over the world.

It's the beginning of the 2000s series with Brian McKenna and Tony O'Dowd, who was a goalkeeper at the club for the five seasons covered in another special show recorded at the Four Provinces Pub. From Santry to Bertie turning the sod to Odra and a dry cleaners' bill, we've got it all in this deep dive into Hoops history.

We talk the win in Drogheda with Ed McGinty's injury-time penalty save, and, in an international week there's another double author feature with "Shades of Green" by Chris Lee, and "Lansdowne Road", co-written by Gerrard Siggins. The 30th anniversary of the Lansdowne Road Riot passed by recently, so Ger, along with four Rovers fans - Bill Gleeson, Phelim Warren, Graham Merrigan and Con Murphy - recall the events of that day against England.

We talk our first league win of the season against St Pat's, and although we're a week late for International Women's Day and World Book Day, Hannah Dunne interviews Rovers players Melissa O'Kane and Fiona Owens ahead of the women's team's first home game in Tallaght on Saturday, and there's a double author feature with two Rovers fans who have written non-football books. With Friday's trip to top of the table Drogheda, Dr Thomas Tormey, who has been Historian in Residence with Louth Library Service since 2021, tells us about "War and Peace in the Wee County", his year-long 90s series with Juz on the podcast, ranking our best ever European results and more. First, Karl catches up with his old primary school classmate Aaron Rogan, author of "Punters", a book about the rise of Paddy Power and the online gambling industry.

We've a lot to catch up on but the first hour and a half relates to tonight's game against Shelbourne at Tolka Park, with some chit chat about recent podcasts, the LIST OF HATRED, starting XI and predictions and an interview with League of Ireland legend Mark Rutherford, who played for both clubs. There's penalty shootout heartbreak in our Conference League knockout tie with Molde, a Dublin Derby loss at Lansdowne Road and then a home game against Cork that was rained off. Our other interview is the curious case of the Scandinavian Hoops, a Rovers supporters' club based in Norway.

It's the fifth and final part of our 1990s series with Justin Mason and Tommy Tormey. We relive the 1998/99 season, with a guest appearance from Jim Conroy about being in Turkey in the summer of '98. We talk the FAI Super Cup, Jason Sherlock's helicopter, the hole in the net at Oriel Park and more, before a new era under Damien Richardson in Santry begins. On the topic of programme notes...Con Murphy reads a sample from Rico.
