RTÉ Soccer Podcast: LOI title climax, Tbilisi takeaways, Erik Ten Hag sacked, Irish goals and injuries woes

Former Republic of Ireland winger Keith Treacy, ex-St Pat's and Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Barry Murphy, former Girls in Green midfielder Méabh De Búrca and RTÉ Sport's Anthony Pyne join Raf Diallo as the LOI title race reaches its climax with Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers left standing ahead of their respective final games which will be both televised and streamed simultaenously on RTÉ this Friday night.

The Ireland Women's 6-0 win over Georgia in the Euro 2025 play-off first leg is also analysed as well as Shamrock Rovers' 4-1 triumph at Larne in the UEFA Conference league. The Hoops' reclassifying of their academy as a Tusla-regulated childcare service is also discussed in terms of the potential implications for revolutionising the funding of youth sports in this country.

There's also reaction to Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United sacking and a weekend of Irish goals for Evan Ferguson, Sam Szmodics and injury woes for Chiedozie Ogbene and Robbie Brady.
