Second Captains Part II

yohan the great

Am I the only one that thinks Mick's commentating is very nice to the players and Kenny? He doesn't criticise anybody and has some very nice words to say about a lot of the players

Disagree completely. It's extremely passive aggressive.

Mick and his bad juju.

We’re going to have to get a witch doctor in to remove the Mick curse.

Classless and reminiscent of Revie v. Clough

This is the tweet on the Dunphy story mentioned today, very funny. He also shared a couple of scathing articles on Brady that Dunphy also wrote

If we go to level 5, is there any chance of the Isolating pod coming back?

Best thing about last lockdown.

I really miss the isolating podcast...

TRANQUILLO

Surprised Murph did'nt mention the boxing in the weekend what's on tv roundup. Lomachenko vs Lopez in the wee hours tomorrow should be a barnstormer. On paper one of the best boxing fights we have had in a long time.

I don't think anyone is questioning Mick's prior efforts or achievements with Ireland. Just questioning why he of all people is the one providing analysis on Sky. It's a bit greasy, come on. Did he really need that pay day that badly. Critiquing the efforts of your successor in the job - it appears to lack class from where I'm sitting.

Guardian Football Weekly podcast we're saying the exact same thing. Well, 3 out of 4 were

Big Second Captain/Off The Ball combo on Premiere Sports on Saturday evening

What's that then?

Loafing Oaf

I see Bamford's got his barnet trimmed. Maybe Ken's 'cad/bounder' jibes hit home.:P

Eoin presenting with Nathan Murphy on commentary. Kenny Cunningham and Brian Kerr also involved. It would be great if they got Ken in as a pundit.

Really weird today, Migs commenting about Bale then Eoin just giving a quick laugh and then on to another question to Johnathon. Thought it was a bit jarring when Migs was actually making a good point. Hehehehe

Funny, I was listening to that this morning and though the exact same thing. Wonder if mark cut some out?

Obrieski

Andy Moran - top guy!
Hopefully becomes a regular GAA contributor.

From Monday's pod and the idea that no crowds make it easier for comebacks, I'm sure that the idea last season was that the lack of crowd made it hard for a team that is 2-0 down for example to rouse themselves for a comeback with no crowd to spur them on.

Sports analysis really is a results based thing isn't it?

Maybe now they've grown used to the lack of noise and instead of focusing on how quiet it is they can focus on their gameplan or whatever and get back into the game

Would be interesting to see what would happen if they suddenly started to play in full stadiums again (obviously won't happen), would the players be so roiled up that they go flying into tackles and run like mad

Didn't stop Everton players on Saturday!

There were nearly 15,000 at Dynamo Kiev vs Juve last night so around Europe there's a re-introduction of fans at least.

Didn't ken go on a big shawshank redemption analogy a week or so ago? Makes sense now that today's pod was with tim robbins

lawred2

Jesus didn't realise Ken was so sensitive to a few tackles..

His take on the derby was a funny one..

Violence? Assault? Is he a Liverpool fan?

He's fully joining in with all the Twitter cryarsing since the weekend anyway.

Still Ill

Might be for the best if TRANQUILLO avoids today's episode.

EltonJohn69

In order to keep things fair and balanced, I hope/expect that Ken will be interviewing a right wing Hollywood star next week. Maybe a Jon Voight or a James Woods would be a good choice ?

jones

From the off the ball days I think Ken is a Liverpool fan (not that he mentions it on second captains) but I didn't think he went any more overboard than he normally does. Love a good Ken rant

duffman13

Have to say Mondays pod was one of my favourites, really really enjoyable and the lads were in flying form. Always better when the three are on together.

Usually not into the GAA pod but was decent. The Tim Robbins one was just a bit random, haven't finished it yet. But first 40 mins seemed to be Ken waxing on about a 90s film Robbins made. Was somewhat interesting though

Ol' Donie

I think for the first time ever I nearly got fed up with Ken's snarkyness about absolutely every party in every football story yesterday.

Has he been hanging out with Dion Fanning or something?

Yes he is a Liverpool fan! It's been common knowledge for years

He hides it well, there's no smoking gun proof (lol). But if you think about it, his age would make it more likely than not that he's a Liverpool fan.

And I remember him saying he was at the 2005 champions league final. I don't think he was at OTB by then or was an established journalist with his employer willing to pay his way (I'm open to correction) so most likely he went as a fan.

When I read this post first I thought it was gas that they just happened to be talking to some lad who happened to be called Tim Robbins.

I didn't realise they were talking to Tim Robbins.
