Show Notes
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.

Positivity is (finally) back on the 1895 Podcast. Doody and Ben soak up Shelbourne’s first league win since July — a mad, dramatic night in Dundalk where the Reds were full value, showed real urgency, and somehow still had to do it the hard way.
