The new season of the League of Ireland Women’s Podcast kicks off tonight on FinalWhistle.ie, but the focus has dramatically shifted from our planned League of Ireland season preview to the fallout from Ireland’s 4-0 defeat in Slovenia last night.

Hosts Breifne Earley (@breifneearley) & Aaron Clarke (@aaron_c91) break down one of Ireland’s worst performances in recent years. With players out of position, late injury disruptions, and an overall lackluster display, Ireland’s Nations League promotion hopes have taken a major hit—and possibly their World Cup qualification dreams too. Aaron was in the stadium in Koper and gives us his first-hand analysis of the game, what went wrong, and what must change.

Meanwhile, the President’s Cup showdown between Athlone Town and Shelbourne takes a back seat, though it remains a fascinating clash. Athlone could secure their third straight title, while Shelbourne look to build on their FAI Cup final domination from last season. We also break down all the off-season moves, the managerial merry-go-round, and key signings—including Becky Cassin’s return from Spain, Ellen Molloy’s Wexford homecoming, and Rebecca Cooke’s arrival at Shelbourne.
