Against the head

komodosp

Why did they start this programme after the beginning of the season, and even more bewildering, they finished it up before the end of the season, missing out on all the finals, etc... ???

yeah,it really is a joke.Gerry Thornley is probably the biggest legend walking the planet.I can get enough of this guy,everything he says has me in stitches.I dont even watch against the head if he isnt on tbh.:)

You should check out the newstalk off the ball,heineken cup podcasts,they are really good,better than against the head by a country mile.

I defended RTE on another thread about not getting HC games but I have to say this is pure stupidity. Missing out on the end of the AIl, Celtic League and Hc all of which they showed on the show is just insane. Who came up with this decision, in fact I think an hour long show at this time of year would be just enough for showing clips/discussion. Last year they devoted an hour to that Hook/Pope show that just didn't work, why not a proper 1 hour magazine show. They could have GT, legend I agree, Pope, some other Journalists and even Hook(for the ratings) with a proper presenter.

The man has no bias or agenda either,he says it like it is.He is refreshing to listen to.The only other rugby pundit I rate is Pope and thats it.

As I said before everyone should check this out

Great show and the rugby podcast is brilliant.

A Gerry Thornley,Brent Pope combo is the way of the future:D

I love this programme, but my training is on Mondays and Wednesdays, and this is a real pain in the arse! Pretty stupid ending the programmes just before the business end of the season, defeats the purpose of the whole show in my opinion, however im sure there is a reason for this.

D'OH! You need I-tunes for those pod-casts! Would they not just put them as MP3s or something like normal websites...

you dont have i tunes?


If you use something else for music then when your installing it,dont let it search for media and just use it for listening to podcasts
