Costa del Longford - Peilcast #43
Dave has disappeared to celebrate Drogheda's win over Sligo Rovers so the other (other) three amigos are let loose on their own for this week's episode.
This week, James, Bill and Jack discuss Derry's 'suspended partial stadium ban'. Is it a gimmick or does it actually serve a purpose?
The opening of the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund and its' importance to the development of the League of Ireland is also one of the topics for debate as well as attendance issues at Longford Town. Jack also coins a name for the newest LOI rivalry; the infamous 'In your head' Derby.
As always, the episode is rounded off with a look forward to the upcoming double gameweek in the League of Ireland. The lads give their score predictions and Dave takes time from his crazy celebrations to send his predictions via voice note!
King of the Town - Peilcast #42
The lads discuss yet another manic week in the League of Ireland.
-Dave brings more weekly headlines, here's hoping it's the last week we've to endure them
-Jack lets off some steam and aims his sights directly at his club's owner following the appointment of Noel King as manager of Dundalk FC
-All 4 lads clash on the Damien Duff/Shane Farrell drama from Monday night
-James has a rant regarding television coverage and the changing of schedules
Hill or High Water - Peilcast Episode #41
On this week's episode of the Peilcast, Jack has decided to go back part-time as a podcaster but the other 3 soldier on regardless.
Dave, Bill and James discuss the departure of Jonathan Hill as CEO of the FAI this week, the continuation of their love interest with Kerry FC, the importance of regional clubs to the growth of the League of Ireland and who the most unbearable fanbase in the league is. As always, the episode is rounded out with a preview and predictions for this weekend's fixtures in the LOI.
Will James and Dave finally concede that Duffer is indeed in their heads or is he nothing more than "a total spoofer"?
Turners Cabbage Patch - Peilcast Episode #40
The lads are back after another wild week in the League of Ireland.
In this week's episode the lads discuss the departure of another LOI manager, the use (and misuse) of flares within the league and the closure of Turners Cross. James also has a rant about fixture congestion and loss of income from attendances, finishing off with the weekly score predictions.
Could we use Shelbourne's flares to help dry off the pitch in Turners Cross?
Stephen Walsh & Tetanus Shots - Peilcast Episode #39
Like Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, the lads are back after a rough couple of days.
In this week's episode, there's talk about the Double Fixtures over the Easter Weekend, James gets a precautionary tetanus shot for his trip to Inchicore and Bill and Jack try their hand at Dave's Tenable question.

Shligo Boys & Tenable - Peilcast Episode #38
The lads are back after the International Break and are raring to go! The podcast is an international team safe-space for the foreseeable, much to Bill and Jack's delight.
On this week's episode, as always, the lads give their predictions for this week's League of Ireland fixtures and give an update on the current Spoofer Watch Predictions Table standings.
Jack tests James and Dave's LOI knowledge with a round of Tenable. Due to a couple of technical difficulties, the repeat fixture will have to wait until next week's episode!

Devine Inspiration & #KennyBack? - Peilcast Episode #37
On this week's episode, the lads chat about the League of Ireland's first victim of the season and the possible return of some old faces to Dalymount, Dave continues his poetry section but already seems to be losing his creative spark and James has a go at Dundalk FC.
Things are tightening up in the Spoofer Watch Predictions Table, will we have a new leader by start of the International Break?
And on the topic of International breaks, the lads give their thoughts on John O'Shea's squad announcement for the upcoming MNT friendlies vs Belgium and Switzerland, with some new faces involved.
High Fives & El Sackico - Peilcast Episode #36
On this week's episode, the lads discuss the Ireland Manager fiasco, the League of Ireland's newest derby, El Sackico, Dave channels his inner Shakespeare and Jack gets high 5s all round.
Dave still sits on the summit of the Spoofer Watch Predictions Table and Bill leapfrogs Jack and James up to 2nd. Will there be any changes by next week?
The Commercial Director Episode - Peilcast Episode #35
Another week, another episode of the Peilcast!
In this week's episode, the lads pitch their masterplan for commercial success through the lens of a Commercial Director of a League of Ireland club.
After a fairly disastrous round of predictions last week, the lads also give their predictions for this weekend's double round of games in GW 3 and 4. Dave is still at the summit of the table but both Jack and James are only one point behind him. Bill is already showing his ball knowledge as he sits bottom of the pile. Will he be crowned Peilcast's Biggest Spoofer at the end of the season?
LOI Predictions #2 - GW 1 Review and GW 2 Preview
The boys are back with a look back at League of Ireland Gameweek 1 results and performances and give their score predictions for GW2!
After GW1, Dave sits atop the Peilcast Predictions Table on 4 points, with Bill, Jack and James all tied on 2 points. Can the lads get it right this week?
LOI Week 1 Predictions (via voice note) - Peilcast Episode #34.5
