The 1895 Podcast: Recent Episodes
Shelbourne FC
The 1895 Podcast is the official podcast of Shelbourne Football Club, presented by Steven Doody. The 1895 Podcast aims to brings fans closer to the action each week with exclusive interviews from Shels players, staff and legends past and present.
Darren “Dazzler” Cleary is in the chair this week because — shock horror — it’s Ste Doody’s last ever episode on the 1895 Podcast. No scandal, no cancellation… just Doody stepping into a new role at the club and calling time on the pod (before he can be bullied any further).
To mark the end of Doody’s reign of terror, the lads launch the inaugural “Doody’s” awards: busiest beaver, “we’re so back” moments, songs that scream Tolka, best/worst players of the last five years, favourite goals, lowest lows, highest highs, and more.
Expect nostalgia, chaos, and a few all-time stories from Europe, feuds, prank calls, and pitch invasions. Up the Reds.
Ste and Ben are back after a “bare, bare” weekend for the Reds — with the Galway trip ending in the ultimate buzzkill as the pitch takes one look at the ball and goes “squelch”. They break down the late call-off, the pitch inspection protocol, and why there’s no conspiracy here… just a surface that was never playable.
Richie Rankings returns with flowers for a sound Galway official, and a shout for Sean Moore getting minutes (and a goal) after injury, and a proper blast for a certain TD.
Plus: a chaotic one-player-per-season XI draft from 2006–2016, grim nostalgia, forgotten heroes, and why some names still give fans PTSD. Up the Reds.
Ste, Ben and are back after a poor weekend for the Reds — and after last week’s pod mysteriously vanished into the abyss. They break down the Dundalk and Rovers games, the soft goals, the head loss, and why it feels like Shels are getting punished for every tiny mistake right now.
There’s a big chat on leadership, “fragility”, set-piece naivety (yes, that Pico back-post one again), and the danger of pinning everything on Paddy Barrett’s return — even if everyone knows what his voice brings.
Plus: calling out the worst internet takes, the Mipo/Mbeng/Sean Boyd conspiracy nonsense, Shels Women’s 4-2 All-Island Cup win, a heritage plaque unveiling at Tolka, Richie Rankings, and a chaotic “one player per season” best XI draft. Up the Reds.
Ste and Ben are in “express mode” this week — recording on a Friday, trying to make sense of a week thrown off by Monday football and Paddy’s Day, and teeing you up for Sligo away.
They chat Shels Women’s opening-day win over Treaty, the standard in the league rising, and why Mya Sanchez looks like a serious keeper. There’s a good debate on Maggie Pierce at centre-back, and a quick look ahead to Wexford.
On the men’s side: Derry away, injuries piling up, and big praise for Kam’s composure (and proper clearances). Plus the Bohs “schmozzle”, final-third frustrations, a Sligo XI, and Richie Rankings — with a proper rant to finish. Up the Reds.
Ste and Ben are back (just the two of us) after a rough weekend: a President’s Cup defeat, a slow start against Pats, and the mad 2-2 draw with Rovers that had everyone losing the head.
They chat the positives in the performances, the soft goals and set-piece nightmares, and why the panic online is doing everyone’s head in. There’s love for Harry Wood (again), Jack Henry-Francis being a massive miss, Wes’ big moments, and a solid debut for Zeno Ibson Rossi.
Plus: Steven Bradley’s moan-fest, Richie Rankings returns, women’s league kicks off in Tolka, Derry and Bohs previews — and a chaotic “who are you going on holidays with?” draft. Up the Reds.
Ste and Ben are back to break down Friday’s huge 2-1 win away to Drogheda — a come-from-behind job that finally puts the first three points on the board, even if the first half “didn’t really work” and Shels started slow again.
They chat the big half-time calls from Joey and the staff, Bone and Ledwidge putting bodies on the line, Wes pulling off a ridiculous save, and Boydie doing what Boydie does: battling, pestering, and somehow staying out of trouble.
Plus: the ref chat (and that penalty), Kev Doherty’s meltdown, the LOI hot mic drama, the Presidents Cup, Pats at home, Rovers on Monday — and the strangest things you’ve ever seen at a Shels game. Up the Reds.
The band’s back together on The 1895 Podcast as Ste, Ben and Darren break down Friday’s 1-1 draw with Galway — the possession, the xG, the instant response to going behind, and why the real worry isn’t goals… it’s conceding bad bad goals.
There’s plenty of love for Lundgren’s electric work-rate, flashes from Jarvis as he plays himself back to sharpness, and a reminder of just how much quality Shels can bring off the bench.
Plus: injuries, Roach recalled, Zeno Ibson Rossi in the door, women’s team updates (including the bus to Athlone), a sold-out away end for Drogheda — and an all-timer rant on flares, outrage, and League of Ireland nonsense. Up the Reds.
No Dublin Derby last week as Tolka did its best to fight off the biblical rain — but The 1895 Podcast is back, with Ste and Ben (just the two of us) looking ahead to a gritty home tie with Galway.
The lads chat pitch call-offs, floods and why even “the best pitch in the country” can’t beat February weather, before getting into how Shels should handle Galway’s direct 5-3-2 approach: outplay them on the deck, or go full battle with Boydie and Juan Martin?
Plus: the new stand buzz, a rapid-fire Mount Rushmore debate, favourite Shels goals, women’s team news, and Richie Rankings returns. Up the Reds.
Shels are finally back on the pitch, and Ste, Ben and Darren are here to review the weekend.
The 1-1 draw brings about a lot of questions. Are we now a crossing team? Is Mipo criticised unfairly? Is Kerr McInroy the complete player? Most importantly, are the omens good for this season?
The lads also debate the Aviva experiment, media reaction to that game, and they try, and fail, to predict Fridays starting XI
Ahead of the Dublin Derby, they also reminisce on their favourite Shels vs Rovers memories. (Spoiler Alert, Philly Hughes vs Rovers is the correct answer)

Plus: cutting out the “poxy goals”, in-house predictions, Richie Rankings, and Ben’s internet packing it in right on cue. Up the Reds.

10 years on from the original release, we are delighted to bring you a chance to hear ‘Never Ignored: Ollie’s Reds’ once again. This documentary from award winning producer Eoin Brennan brings us the story of one of Irish sports’ most remarkable figures, and perhaps the most dramatic tale of rise and fall in Irish sporting history...
This is the story of Shelbourne Football Club’s rise from a destitute club in the 1980s to coming within 30 minutes of the Champions League group stages in 2004, before an unprecedented, rapid fall in 2006 left the club drowning in debt and struggling for survival.
The programme examines how Shelbourne’s fate was intertwined to the bold, revolutionary and ultimately doomed vision of Ollie Byrne – the club’s owner, one time saviour and its most passionate supporter.
Going beyond Byrne’s time in football, ‘Never Ignored: Ollie’s Reds’ also tells the life story of Byrne, from his time managing bands, including Phil Lynott’s Skid Row, on the Dublin rock scene of the 1970s, to running nightclubs and a spell in prison.
A parable of Ireland in the Celtic Tiger years, Ollie Byrne and Shels displayed unbridled ambition and fuelled it with borrowings far beyond their means, and this story tells us not only about sport, but also wider Irish society during those years.
Through interviews with former players, managers, Shelbourne board members, staff and supporters, and Ollie Byrne’s family, this documentary brings us the story of one of the most colourful characters ever to grace Irish sport.
‘Never Ignored: Ollie’s Reds’ was written and produced by Eoin Brennan. Presented by and sound design by Neil Kavanagh. Edited by Eoin Brennan and Neil Kavanagh. Additional research and reporting by Shane Dawson.
The project was supported by a grant from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, as part of the Sound And Vision Scheme.
Archive audio supplied by RTE Archives and Libraries. The documentary originally aired on Newstalk in August 2014
