Oriel Park Live has built a worldwide following that reflects the reach of the Dundalk diaspora. Listeners from Zambia, Sydney, Boston, Melbourne, Argentina, New Zealand and dozens of other locations tune in to hear John and Ger call the action, often getting up in the early hours of the morning to catch a match live. For supporters who cannot be at Oriel Park in person, this commentary is the next best thing. For some, it is better, because they get John Murphy’s voice and the unmistakable sense of someone who loves Dundalk FC not as a job but as a lifelong commitment.

The show also connects generations of supporters. Dundalk FC’s history is long and proud, and John Murphy is one of the living links to the club’s greatest eras. When he speaks about a player, a position, or a tactical decision, he does so with the authority of someone who played at the highest level and managed at the same ground he now covers. That depth of context is something no outside broadcaster could replicate.
