Show Notes
Doody and Ben sit down with the man you've all calling for: Dickie Kelly. Fresh off a big Friday night win in Dalymount, Dickie chats about the atmosphere, and why the form lately feels like it’s come at the wrong time.
Then it’s proper “behind the player” stuff — Ringsend roots, the long road through the Leinster Senior League, the FAI course, and breaking into the League of Ireland through the madness at Bray.
There’s honest talk on injuries and the mental side, the Ajax goal and the family moments, plus PlayStation, FIFA/COD quickfires, cut socks, hairband superstition, and an interesting teammates segment. 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.
