Heimer Hallgrímsson is unveiled as the new Republic of Ireland manager and so the tine has come to christen the name of his disciples.
Recent unsavoury scenes in Oriel Park is a hot topic and Jack and Dave butt heads as a result.
Finally, the episode is rounded out with a look forward to the upcoming round of FAI cup fixtures.
After a couple weeks off, the lads get together and finally record an in-person episode for the very first time. As you'd imagine, chaos ensued.The lads catch up on the latest stories, results and fixtures in the League of Ireland, including the latest transfer news.

As always, the episode is rounded off with a preview of the next round of fixtures in the league.
Hard to believe it, but we've reached the halfway point in the League of Ireland season and the lads look back on what has been a crazy half-season. Jack is still getting over his Richmond Rabies but powers through and comes back for this episode!
In this bumper episode, the lads grade every club's season thus far between A and F. There's also Top 3 players so far, including POTY and MOTY and also an updated League Table prediction.
As always, there's plenty of disagreements and loads of bad takes, nothing new there. Will Shels be able to hold on? Who'll be relegated?
Well well well, another Dundalk loss means Jack is gone to ground again and hasn't been seen, however the show must go on.
The lads discuss whether or not it's actually time to start calling Shelbourne serious title contenders, do they have it in them?
Dave and James also begin to change their tune about Keith Long and his Waterford team, including James aiming his crosshairs at another League of Ireland manager. He also isn't a massive fan of Peamount United's nickname. Who thought a fella from Sligo could be filled with so much negativity?
Despite Bill's best efforts to rebrand as the WWECast, Kerry FC still manages to unite the whole team on one topic and the love connection between the Peilcast and KFC continues, at least until one of their clubs undoubtedly gets dumped out of the FAI Cup by them.
As always, the episode is rounded out by a preview of the upcoming Double Gameweek in the LOI, the fixtures are coming thick and fast so stick with us!
Scheduling issues has things a bit upside down this week and as a result, the podcast is about as organised as Dundalk FC. However where there's a will, there's a way.
This week's episode treats you to two rounds of tenable with Jack and Dave followed by a full preview and predictions for the weekend's League of Ireland fixtures.

Dave, Bill and James discuss the departure of Jonathan Hill as CEO of the FAI this week, the continuation of their love interest with Kerry FC, the importance of regional clubs to the growth of the League of Ireland and who the most unbearable fanbase in the league is. As always, the episode is rounded out with a preview and predictions for this weekend's fixtures in the LOI.
Will James and Dave finally concede that Duffer is indeed in their heads or is he nothing more than "a total spoofer"?
The lads are back after another wild week in the League of Ireland.
