Thought I'd update the OP with links and stuff for anyone who stumbles across this.

The former Off the Ball hosts have partnered with The Irish Times to do a series of weekly podcasts. They go online each Tuesday and cover a variety of sports, with a number of contributors including Sid Lowe, Richie Sadlier, Gerry Thornley and Shane Horgan.

They can be found:
On The Irish Times' site: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/second-captains
On Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/secondcaptains-it-com
On iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/podcast/second-captains-irish-times/id647893016?mt=2

Or if you prefer not to use iTunes for your podcasts, use this link in whatever app you use (Thanks to youcancallmeal): http://feeds.feedburner.com/secondcaptainsitcom

And here are their Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Running Balance

Still listen to it daily but don't pay as much attention to it as I used to.

For a 5er it's hard to unscribe.

World Service member since the start but I unsubscribed the other day. Felt like it was just going through the motions recently. Was hoping they might add new podcasts to freshen it up but the podcasts seem to be getting shorter. Love the lads and hope they succeed but I'm going to stick with the Monday podcasts for the time being.

These pods are getting shorter - I guess a slow news day is a slow news day..
33 mins with intros etc yesterday..

I had an old episode incorrectly uploaded as yesterday's episode in my pocketcasts. Had the original interview with the Aboriginal player, talking about the 'upcoming' FIFA movie, and US Murphy's about USA qualifying for the WC. It was only when he was talking about Brazil and Klinnsman that I twigged something wasn't right!!

I haven't got any replacement pod for yesterday through pocketcasts.

Was there not an old one followed by a new one?

Both have the same title, the old one is 54 mins-ish, the new one is 33 mins- ish.

That's what I have, anyway. None for today yet.

I skipped on a lot of it as it was some Australian talking about racism, but the end was on about Catalonia so it was current.[/quote]

That interview with the Aussie lad must have been a rerun of a previously recorded one then because they were definitely taking about a currently in progress international rules series..

Feel like I cheated myself now by deleting it.

At least I can listen to the rest of it tomorrow.

Cheers.

Wasn't it a relevant clip from an older podcast with discussion of said clip and other content?

I didn't see the mistake with yesterday's pod sorted.. not with pocketcasts at least. And still no pod for today. I'm feeling a bit cheated.

Wonder what the status of that fifa movie is?

Not good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Passions

In the United States, the film grossed just $918 in its opening weekend, was unanimously poorly reviewed, and is now considered to be one of the worst films of all time. Globally, the film lost $26.8 million and failed to obtain a theatrical distribution in many markets.

Off the cuff remarks, stereotyping entire populations, unsubstantiated claims, circular logic.

Pretty much the definition of pubtalk.

Stereotyping entire populations? I didn't hear that. In fact I seem to remember them mentioning OTHER PEOPLE stereotyping populations.

Ken's observation about us being generally pro EU because the Brits aren't was an off the cuff remark, not meant to be an explainer for everything - I think there's a grain of truth of it in some cases.

I really don't know why you have such a bee in your bonnet about the pod. The man had done his research and knew what he was talking about and I think they dealt with it as best as they could have in the space of 45 minutes. I would regard a conversation like that as a starting off point for further investigation on the listeners part about the issues raised, not absolutely everything you needed to know. To claim it was nothing better than a pub talk is complete nonsense.

"Political elite" = those in Ireland who between them have the greater share of wealth, privilege and/or political power. Politicians, contributors to political parties, business leaders, those whose opinions hold greatest away in the media. There's no roll of members anywhere that I'm aware of, but I'm surprised that the reference could be thought confusing or even all that ambiguous.

In context, I thought it reasonably clear that "broader population" = those not employed in FDI driven tech sector(s) and who have not experienced similar increases in income and employment opportunities, while still experiencing the inflation brought on by the sectoral recovery and growth elsewhere in the economy.

IMO, the issue with the EU is the appearance of a democratic deficit rather rather than being actually undemocratic, which leaves them open to claims of being undemocratic, and which the EU and it's adherents do a lame job of countering.

Missed the line on farmers being anti-EU, but yeah not sure how that could be sustained.

I think there's only so much two speakers can cover in 45 minutes on a pod, there's only time for so much detail and perspectives.

That is exactly why the pod could be directed at a topic that can be covered in detail that's not necessarily covered well anywhere else. Charlottesville pod was a great example of that. There's plenty of populist "political elite" bashing, complaining about tax rates and/or austerity, the bank bail out, with a little bit of "what has the EU ever done for me lately?" chat in the media and down the local pub already IMO.

The banking discussion is a case in point. In about 60 seconds they simply stated the EU was generally popular and but that the banking crisis should have made the EU staggeringly unpopular. Ken referenced German capital that benefited from our risky pre crash practices although that common perception has been disproved loads of times. That kind of nonsense annoyed me. He could have done 45 mins on the bail out and the troika and properly either proved or disproved his theory that Ireland was very hard done by.

Ken in fantastic form in this weeks champions league pod. I lol'd a good few times.
