Tales From The East Stand

After once again inspiring Rovers to come back from two goals down in Tallaght, Jack Byrne takes on Questions From The East Stand alongside Aaron Greene and Dan Cleary (recorded before the news). There's an interview with Ringsend historian Frank Hopkins to kick off our new author series, and, ahead the women's derby with Bohs on Saturday we hear from Hannah Dunne, Jaime Thompson and Paul Donohue on the story of the season so far.

There's Part 2 of our supporter's teams TFTES Hotline featuring Robbie Murphy (replay), Mick Kearns and Ben Stafford from the 80s side and David Linehan, Barry Adams and Brian McKenna from the early 00s, with stories and opinions on All-Ireland Leagues and the new stand at Dalymount Park, from where Gary and Karl recap the Hoops' Easter Rising and a Great Friday against Bohs.

Another obscenely long show but there was an international break catch-up, our 70s Show reaction and finally a win to talk about, and an emphatic one at that at Oriel Park. Lee Grace, Dylan Watts and Darragh Nugent tackle our quiz qualifying round at Roadstone and from the 2 hour mark, there's a club supporters' teams and Dalymount Park theme to the TFTES Hotline, since it's derby week, featuring Pat Tutty, Paul Kavanagh, Neil Prendergast, Noel O'Brien, Wooly and Tommy Kelly, plus a bonus replay of Jason Maloney and Mick Conroy's memories of Duisburg '97. Elfmeter!

It's 'That 70's Show' with John Byrne and Martin Moore, who were just impressionable teenagers in a grim era of League of Ireland football as the crowds seemed to disappear overnight. Part 1, recorded at the Four Provinces Pub in Kimmage/Crumlin, takes us from the end of the six-in-a-row in 1970 through to the 1975/76 season, when the club finished rock bottom of the league table for the first and only time in history. John and Martin recall the highs but mostly lows of a decade that doesn't get enough love, in their view. There's even the Con Murphy narrated story of three FAI Cup replays with Athlone on three consecutive evenings along the way, with contributions by Jim Conroy and Mick Leech.

We have yet another draw against St Pat's to talk about and the debut of 'In Memoriam: My Dad' as six sons pay tribute to their late, Rovers supporting fathers Mícheál Ó Brolcháin AKA Rennie, Brian Murphy, Charlie Maloney, Jim Conroy Snr, James Palmer and Jim McGlone.

Aside from a scoreless draw in Tolka Park, we have 6 goals from the Rovers women's team and an interview with captain Aine O'Gorman, plus Justin Mason remembers the Leinster Senior Cup final against Bohs on Paddy's Day 30 years ago.

We talk the Burke family, 8-goal thrillers and Con Murphy's dreams with another all-female TFTES Hotline starring Sarah Whelehan, Amy Woods, Laura Glackin, Paula Kearns, Ellen Kearns and Emma Wheatley.

Hear all about our trip to Drogheda on the WAC Express, with more red cards, a history of Shamrock Rovers Ladies FC since 1996 by Hannah Dunne, Robert Goggins and Declan Hughes, plus there's an interview with former Rovers and Cork winger Billy Woods ahead of the big Tallaght double header.

There's Saturday's league opener in Sligo to review, Ronan Finn vs Leon Pohls vs Sean Hoare in the quiz and the "Members Only Corner" as Winston Meets The Gaffneys - the return of 70s player Robbie to the podcast along with his son Jason.

We talk the President's Cup defeat in Derry, there's another quiz game between Pico Lopes, Sean Kavanagh and Gideon Tetteh and February's TFTES Hotline: Season Predictions and Valentines Day edition.

We have a cappuccino and a Leinster Senior Cup report from Belfield, and ahead of the President's Cup in Derry, there's an interview with Rovers wing-back Neil Farrugia, who talks his career so far (and more importantly, Matt Damon movies), while Head of Women's Football Jason Carey chats to TFTES' youngest reporter, Hannah Dunne about our new WNL senior team this season.

We have all yizzer news, the return of 'Questions From The East Stand' with Gary O'Neill, Neil Farrugia and Sean Gannon, and a near hour long interview with Darren Dillon, who was strength and conditioning coach for 5 years under Stephen Bradley.

Last month it was Pico Lopes and Robbie Horgan...this time Boccer Bayly, Dave McAllister and Hooperman are among over a dozen diallers into the TFTES Hotline with topics such as World Cup pundits, cooking, pre-season friendlies, bad refereeing decisions, iconic celebrations and how LOI managers would fare in a fight.

It's our last show of the year with lots of news, World Cup chat, the return of Conor's Corner and an interview with former striker Noel Hunt about his career, including the 2001-2003 spell with Rovers.

We have a round-up of all of the off-season news and a number of surprise guests on our winter edition of the TFTES Hotline.

It's our belated end of season wrap up show with thoughts on the Djurgardens and UCD away games and a brilliant TFTES Player of the Year awards night in Liffey Valley. There's also an interview with Ray Kenny, the fireman and 2006 First Division winner for Rovers.

We've got the Gent and Derry games and all the memorable trophy celebrations afterwards. With our last group game away to Djurgardens on Thursday, there's an interview with Swedish goalkeeper Oscar Jansson about his spell with Rovers in 2012.

We talk the Pat's game and the days that followed that saw the club seal a 20th league title. And back again on TFTES, our other two stars, it's Con Murphy and Graham Gartland Part III. Con and Garts talk all things Rovers from the past week and look ahead to hosting the Player of the Year awards on November 11th.

Prof battles Covid coughing over Zoom to give our take on the Molde and Drogheda games and there's a photography edition of the TFTES Hotline with a starting XI of Rovers photographers sharing their favourite photos over the years. Macdara Ferris, David Hoare, Paul Weafer, Mark McDermott, Andrew O'Connell, Luke Faughnan, Jonathan Daczkowski, George Kelly, Bobby Best, Pat Kehoe and Robert Goggins dial in.

Better late than never. We've got thoughts on Molde and Shelbourne, with an epic comeback win in Tallaght, and TFTES In Memoriam: Tony Eustace.
