It's been a quiet week on the LOI front, with most of us recovering from a hectic weekend of title and relegation race swings and now the focus on Pristina and the Republic of Ireland's Nations League opener against Kosovo.

But fear not, as Vinny Perth is in studio for this week's LOI Pod, and with him he brings one of the greatest LOI strikers of the 21st century, David McMillan. Meanwhile, Stephen Doyle joins on the line from ROI media duties in Pristina to discuss the news from across the league, such as:

The league's striker issue, with less goals coming from the men up top, and more spread throughout the XI's across the Premier Division.

How all Rovers, Bohs and Pats can manage their run-in, especially with Stephen Kenny's Saints having a long period without a match.

Sligo's impending relegation, McMillan gives his thoughts on his former club's current form.

Shelbourne's future, after picking up their first win since June with a late 3-2 away win over Dundalk last Friday with Sean Boyd proving that he can still be the man to guide the Reds to good form.

This Friday, there's only one match, with Shelbourne heading west to face off against John Caulfield's Galway United in Eamonn Deacy Park. Former Tribesman and current Salthill Devon manager Greg Cunningham will be alongside Jonathan Higgins for the call. You can listen LIVE on Off The Ball on Newstalk or the GoLoud App from 7PM.
