The what does he think of Brendan rogers and Steve Staunton bits didn't really go anywhere. I thought he should have asked him about Jose Mourinho as Ken and the rest of the SC lads seemed to have made up their mind that they absolutely hate him. I also would have paid money for him to be asked does he ever envisage ever been back on Newstalk for a Sunday paper review or are those bridges totally burnt?

Overall I'm not sure what to think of the podcast as it did seem, certainly at the start, that Ken had no real interest in answering the questions. Maybe he won't be so harsh on any footballers who do the same from now on

[Deleted User] wrote: » The thing that bothers me about Murph is his inability to ask a question. He just can't seem to make a point in one sentence without stretching it out into a 5-6 sentence monologue that even then doesn't seem to contain a question at the end of it. And I say that as a big fan of both him and SC, but nonetheless it does start to grate once you notice it.

BUT - I feel they are very lazy when it comes to anything political. They just fall back on to the cozy liberal consensus so beloved of the Irish media. From the sneering attitudes towards Brexit and Trump voters, to the skewed ad hominem discussion of the Ronda Rousey critic, to Ken talking to Emmanuel Petit about how the French authorities were afraid of "some vague threat" prior to the Euro2016 tournament (hint: it's not a vague threat, it was the very specific and very real threat of Islamic terrorism), to the insinuation that 99% of Aussie Rules fans are rabid racist bigots, they never ever attempt to puncture the bubble and try to understand things from any perspective other than the usual left wing viewpoint.
