Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.

From flying winger to divisive Head Coach, Damien Duff is cutting his managerial cloth at Ireland's top level with Shelbourne. Taking over from a side fresh from Promotion, Duff turned Shels into the League's grittiest side. But with his ideals, Duff has needed to be pragmatic as well. What can we, as FM players, learn from Duff's first season in management? And why should we be watching his second season closely? Let's get into it!
