Murph is quite good at filling in for Eoin, he has a nice way about him.

Yeah he is probably better in that role than his usual role. He can't interrupt himself.

Ken comparing the England refs performance to that of a crèche worker who's unable to cope with the children's screams. F*cking hilarious!

Baggly · 04-07-2018 07:05PM

Loved the accent attempt too.

Thats the problem with murohs usual role. Eoin is asking ken questions and murph interrupts.

They should keep Ken in transit at all times, him getting irritated at the patience of people waiting for that man to put away his sombrero was gas.

Ken's right shoot outs are more fun when a lot of they are missed.

"Eriksen can fly home in shame!"

Ken is on fire ðŸ”¥. Talking about Kasper Schmeichal on the flight home from Russia...."I shouldn't be here!!!!"

I think it's just the lads taking the píss because Eoin had that hungover/still a bit under the influence voice

If anyone saw me lose my self control on the dart home this evening; it was 'destroyed the jacks' that did it to me..

I got a good laugh out of that as well, especially when he was speculating about going back there and the possibility of the owner just checking out the toilet as he arrives. Was is just me or did the Eoin and Murph seem a bit overly shocked at this story?

Definitely... I don't think they saw that coming.

It sounds like the work of Marcotti to me. A real Italian job.

They squeezed todays Pod out pretty quick.
They must have a fair bit to do for the Radio 1 show.

I assume it was recorded yesterday, with all discussions on "today" and "tomorrow".

Trent Houseboat · 06-07-2018 10:52AM

Yeah, you'd imagine with editing and uploading it had to be done last night. It's fair enough though, not like it was stale and it meant that they recorded two pods yesterday.

tomwaits48 · 06-07-2018 11:52AM

do you reckon they would jack it all in going independent, if RTE offered them a full time, peak time, sports show?

Yes, more secure income and more resources

RTE have enough sports journalists on staff. Even RTE would not waste even more money on more sports staff.
Cheaper to get the SC crew in on contract to do the show during the quiet summer months.

Depends on what deal was on offer, i think,

I think they have the best of both worlds right now. Contract work with RTE to suit their summer month schedule when the league season is quiet (every second year being an exception) and a day job with 10K paying members each month, generating €600k revenue a year with relatively few overheads.

Right now they are covering whatever they want however they want; i dont know if that would be the case in RTE. I also dont know if the security wouldnt translate into a lack of flexibility.

If i was offered flexi time, i dont know if i would be keen to move back to rigid hours afterwards like.

Ken Early interview on Vice. Fair few f-bombs...

Loafing Oaf · 06-07-2018 07:37PM

"possibly the world's best football podcast." Is that a widely held opinion across the water?:eek:

AfterLife · 07-07-2018 02:51AM

Can't wait to hear the reaction to that in 3 days. And before anyone starts we don't all live on Ireland so this "World Service" is piss poor.

There are no geo restrictions on a podcast.
If you are referring to the RTE gig, it's marketed as Second Captains Saturday not "The World Service".

Loafing Oaf · 07-07-2018 10:10AM

Pleasant surprise for me this morning.:)

Say Your Number · 07-07-2018 07:18PM

I liked Ken giving out about English fans that can't take objective criticism on yesterday's pod, more of the same reaction on the article he did about it this morning.

I saw Second Captains referred to as Smug Captains elsewhere on Boards. Does anyone here think the lads are smug? Or see why someone could get that impression.

Ken and Murph are prone to episodes of smugness. Eoin is generally free of it.

Say Your Number · 10-07-2018 12:50AM

Yeah Ken seems very sure of himself when talking about football, very know it all, which winds some people up and Murph making smartarsed comments, I can see why some people perceive them as smug.

The main criticism I see thrown at SC and OTB is the laddish banter element, which there is some truth to, but the difference between them is the SC lads are funny, like when that fella said Eoin was amazing, the pisstaking they were doing of it was funny, anytime I hear something similar on OTB it sounds more cringy and forced.
