    Very good, Ken especially.

    I always like the Walk on The Wildside bit they do on the show and the p1ss take version here is excellent.

    True, but some level of form is required in order to make this in anyway pertinent. If he were to play and look as paralyzed as he has recently his experience is entirely irrelevant. Anyway, Jackson in thankfully.

    Anyone hear the Ken Earley piece on Salmon last night?

    Its was like life imitating art imitating life........as if he was trying to outdo the Mario Rosenstock sketch with for wackiness and off the wall references.

    Incidentally, I see Off The Ball's piece on Bobby Moore is top of the Guardian.co.uk's "things we liked this week" section.

    And in fairness, it was a brilliant interview. It was unusual to hear Giles get emotional, but you could really hear the anger in his voice.....

    A couple of rumours doing the rounds that all may not be well between the Off the Ball lads and management. Tonight's show could be very, very interesting....

    I'm sure they won't be off the airwaves long. They'd walk onto any other station in the country who were looking for a similar show.

    I'll be looking forward to the sarcastic comments or transfer jokes they'll be making about Newstalk\their-previous-lives-at-Newstalk if that happens.

    It would be the assumption of most I would say. If the station are willing to let their most prized assets go for the sake of money then it is a shocking oversight.

    Ger Gilroy back in the presenter's seat? This is getting worse and worse.

    Eoin McDevitt to replace Bill Herlihy when he retires. Wild speculation on my part, but I'd be delighted to see him take the job! Daragh Maloney just doesn't cut the mustard of wind up merchant! Eoin has years of experience sticking it to Murph... :-)

    Ill miss the lads anyway. Great show, great laughs at a few of the road shows... Evenings won't be the same without them

    across ireland, and in some other parts of the world, grown men everywhere are thinking what to do in the evenings now. i may start watching more tv, or talk to people.

    Depends. Perhaps they got too big for their boots and were demanding unreasonable money.

    Are they really prized assets? I would imagine Tom Dunne, Moncrief and a few others are more prized.

    One way or other I am disappointed to see them leave. Listen to some part of the show most nights and enjoy generally.

    My thoughts exactly.

    I'm bothered by it :(

    Best show (not just sports) on radio for a long time, the banter between all 3 of them was great, I'll miss that.

    Genuinely gutted but I'm sure the lads will reappear on the airwaves sooner rather than later. I thought that before Christmas that the show was coasting a bit but it really kicked back up a few notches in recent months. Honestly, I've no interest in listening to Ger Gilroy so I guess I'll be giving it a miss!
