For example, they discussed the World Series Game 7 on Wednesdays pod and all about the build up with US Murphy, but then it's Friday now and not a mention of how the game went or anything. Would be no harm having an extra ten mins on a pod discussing the outcome too.

I had a look at your posts on the search function. I only looked at the first two pages but it was all negativity. It just seems bizarre that you'd keep listening when you don't have much positive thoughts at all about it.

Like everything - we won't know how good he was until he's gone. He is the voice of Irish football for me. So many people would go into raptures about Jimmy McGee but I could hardly stand him as a commentator. I always thought George was in a league of his own.
