Episode 57 - The Rovers return with An Leanaimid

On this episode, Ryan Brennan and Adam Casey are joined by Daniel from An Leanaimid, the Irish-language League of Ireland podcast.

We start by getting to know Daniel and finding out more about An Leanaimid. We discuss how the podcast came about, why Daniel decided to cover the League of Ireland through Irish, what it is like creating football content at such a young age and how the project has developed.

We also discuss the wider League of Ireland podcast and media landscape, the appeal of covering Irish football in the Irish language and what independent creators can bring to the game.

We then turn our attention to the latest news around Shamrock Rovers, including Michael Noonan's confirmed move to Nottingham Forest. We discuss what the move means for the young forward, his development at Rovers and what it says about the opportunities available to young League of Ireland players.

We also look at the latest international involvement for Rovers players, including Adam Brennan, Michael Noonan and Roberto Lopes, and discuss the wider question of League of Ireland representation at international level.

Finally, we look ahead to Rovers' return to Tallaght Stadium to face Drogheda United in the Premier Division.

We look at Drogheda's recent form, their record against Rovers this season, the players who could pose a threat and what Rovers need to do to get the three points.
