Second Captains

dulux99 · 11-08-2018 04:10PM

Brilliant interview, for me it just showed how comfortable Ken keeps his surroundings on the podcast. They never, ever have people on who challenge Ken's opinions. I love listening to Ken and never miss a show but he made a bit of a tit of himself during the debate with Nev, especially when he insinuated that only people who know nothing about football would think Mourinho would be successful at United. That was embarrassing.

Ken was destroyed there. As with Fowler last year, I don't think Neville had much time for Ken's meandering question style. It's almost as if they don't respect what he has to say, given he has no experience within the game. Neville's candour regarding his time at Valencia made for a riveting listen.

Someone has mentioned it already and I agree that Ken needs to spend time going to more matches in the UK rather than seeing everything through the lens of TV broadcasters.

Had to laugh at Ken bringing up revenue and Gary batting it away by talking about net spend.

Found Gary to be articulate, open and able to defend himself very capably, but he isnt above shutting a question down if he didnt like it (just like Fowler did last year).

Thought the bit on his time at Valencia was excellent.

Apparently there is a new Ken v Gary Nev jingle debuting today. Haven't heard it yet myself.

Just heard it.

Probably alone in thinking this, but I found Gary to be a bit of a knob.

You support Liverpool by any chance? :P

Would just make him right about two things, rather than one.

OldMrBrennan83 · 13-08-2018 05:48PM

If he does then will someone let me know so I can have a shower after agreeing with him :pac:

Nope, not a Liverpool fan! A Leeds fan, so don't really have any "skin in the game" these days! :pac:

Didn't seem at all interested in other people's opinion.

Talks loudly when having a discussion, undermining any dissenting voices.

Explains how he failed so completely at managing. His excuses were just laughable, and well rehearsed.

****e interview, listened after seeing so much praise here. I only have myself to blame.

Gary could have taken a dump on stage and he'd probably have got a cheer from the cackling crowd.

Arghus · 14-08-2018 11:07PM

In fairness if he did take a dump on stage it probably would be the most unexpected and stunning event, so I'd hardly blame someone for clapping.

I enjoyed the interview with Michael Lyster today. It's easy to just only see him as the presenter of The Sunday Game, but he seems like an interesting guy.

And fecking hell, he's lucky to still be alive! :eek:

On a separate note, where's Richie??? No Players Chair in ages.

pretty much everything Gilroy does is derivative.

lawred2 · 15-08-2018 05:16PM

Enjoyed the live show. Neville was a good guest. He's good craic. Didn't really see this destruction of Ken mentioned above.

I thought maybe he had taken a break during the World Cup and he's on holidays now or something... But the last episode of The Player's Chair was all the way back on March 20th (Episode #1116). He must be too busy with his 9-to-5 job (which is understandable). I doubt SC have scrapped this podcast.

I count 14 episodes in total of The Player's Chair:
Paul Kimmage
Nicole Owen
Shane Duffy
Paul Stewart
Shay Given
Paul Galvin
Andrew Trimble
Mick McCarthy
David Forde
Damien Duff
Anthony Daly
Niall Quinn
Brian Kerr
Sean Dyche

dulux99 · 15-08-2018 07:41PM

I'd say Richie comes to them when he can. Not much they can do about it.

Dots1982 · 15-08-2018 08:14PM

He should take as long as he needs, banal fcuker

OldMrBrennan83 · 15-08-2018 08:17PM

Is he still saving Ireland from itself or taking a break from that for a while?

Baggly · 15-08-2018 08:18PM

Its awful the way he makes you listen to the pods he is on as well.

Awful.

For the most part his players chair things have been very good.

Arghus · 15-08-2018 08:39PM

Can't say I've missed Richie one bit, to the extent that I'd more or less forgotten about him being part of the show until people mentioned his name again.

Brock Turnpike · 15-08-2018 10:38PM

Richie tweeted a while back to say the players chair would be back during the new Premier League season.

All live podcasts sound terrible on podcast.

Shame but I'm not sure they're worth the hassle of going to. I've been to a few (not sc) and it was a good excuse for a few pints but that's about it.

Definitely, I subscribe to about 15 podcasts and it's almost at the stage when they tell me it's a live one I'll delete it without listening to it.
Haven't listened to Ken V Neville, I'll give that a go

The opposite is true of How Did This Get Made?

The live ones are miles better.

The podcasts that work best as live events to listen to are those that recognise that they are different things. 99 Percent Invisible did some great live Pods, West Wing Weekly the same. Even Blindboy has a different approach for live vs. standards pods - they work well. It's when they try to shoe-horn the standard practice approach of a pod into a live event that things can go pear-shaped.
