  • Galway (H), Growing the Women's game & Favourite Shels Goals
    Feb 18 2026

    No Dublin Derby last week as Tolka did its best to fight off the biblical rain — but The 1895 Podcast is back, with Ste and Ben (just the two of us) looking ahead to a gritty home tie with Galway.

    The lads chat pitch call-offs, floods and why even “the best pitch in the country” can’t beat February weather, before getting into how Shels should handle Galway’s direct 5-3-2 approach: outplay them on the deck, or go full battle with Boydie and Juan Martin?

    Plus: the new stand buzz, a rapid-fire Mount Rushmore debate, favourite Shels goals, women’s team news, and Richie Rankings returns. Up the Reds.

    Feb 11 2026

    Shels are finally back on the pitch, and Ste, Ben and Darren are here to review the weekend.

    The 1-1 draw brings about a lot of questions. Are we now a crossing team? Is Mipo criticised unfairly? Is Kerr McInroy the complete player? Most importantly, are the omens good for this season?

    The lads also debate the Aviva experiment, media reaction to that game, and they try, and fail, to predict Fridays starting XI

    Ahead of the Dublin Derby, they also reminisce on their favourite Shels vs Rovers memories. (Spoiler Alert, Philly Hughes vs Rovers is the correct answer)
