It felt to me that he's against Sky Sports because #british, but didn't want to specifically say that. His argument re. pay per view fell apart with the Eir Sports example...

dr.kenneth noisewater

talk about a ramble, still not sure what his point is except he doesn't think his auld lad should have to pay for sky to see a hurling match

I find Michael Duignan to be all over the place quite regularly.

I had to skip past it halfway through. It was taken apart fairly quickly. No live match on RTE between Sept and something like May was mentioned!

It would have been an easier argument to try to justify ( not that I am interested in the merit of it) if you listed protected games such as provincial finals, all ireland semis/finals or whatever as having to be free to air. Makes more sense.

Yep i thought the exact same. He was just rabbiting on and then started contradicting himself. Definitely seemed to be against sky just to be anti-british than any real thought out reason

Say Your Number

Thought Duignan was interesting on volunteerism and player burnout.

Ken's Timberlake rant was gold.

Running Balance

Duigan is a tool.. "attendances haven't fallen and maybe they have or maybe they havent" great argument that...

Running Balance

He called eoin -ger.. around 37 mins in

He was a terrible and the lads rightly grilled him on it. His insinuation too that the lads own business is driven off the back of the GAA was crass.

Stupid (and he admitted it to) considering how he makes his money.. definition of a spoofer

If you subscribe do the daily pods have those god awful stings throughout like the free shows? They're funny once or twice but by god they're tedious on repeat listens.

I’m sorry to be whinging about this again, but I can’t be the only one to notice that the ‘you can not call a player a baby’ jingle seems to get played on every other pod these days? It’s so long and boring at this point it drives me up the wall. They have plenty of funny ones but this one is their most played by far

Baggly

If you dont like them, then you are right to vent about it. I dont see them removing them as section dividers though.

I agree with you on that jingle. I was sick of it this time last year, so skip over it as soon as i hear the first notes of it being played.

Some interesting new ones coming out.

That Ken Noir one was good - but i dont know if it will have any longevity. Liked the Sexton drop goal rien mix one too.

Adebayor i thought. From when he was at Spurs and Poch called him a baby (i could be completely wrong as im drawing from memory on that).

It was from when he was at Arsenal and Evra called the Arsenal players babies.

I still love the coach one. It's amazing.

I really enjoyed Sinead O'Carroll talking about the Winter Olympics, lovely to hear a fresh voice on the pod. By the same token I think I might have reached peak US Murph....

I enjoyed listening to her as well. She was so enthusiastic and well clued in on Winter Olympics as well. Very natural.

I know what you mean about US Murph

I see they've made that podcast about George Gibney freely available. Great interview by Eoin, with none of the idiotic SJW postering that goes on on OTB. It is infuriating and depressing to know that Gibney's still at large and that he *allegedly* has friends in high places.

What does 'idiotic SJW postering' mean in this context?

I used to enjoy the US Murphy segements but I largely don't bother with them any more. They've become very samey over time. I don't think he brings a lot to the show anymore.

I also thought his predictions about the Superbowl kinda showed up, let's face it, that he's full of crap. I know that there's a healthy bit of guesswork in any form of prediction about outcomes in Sport, but he does have a bad track record of calling the wrong victor in games - and he talks in it up beforehand like there's no chance the opposite might happen, "No way Eoin, there's no chance anybody but Team A will win this one". I can recall him making the same type of gaff with The World Series.

Hand on heart I fancied the Patriots but US Murph talked complete sh*te in the lead up to the game. He said the Eagles beating the Patriots would be one of the great upsets but also acknowledged that they were barely 4 point underdogs. Nonsense.

9,308 patrons right now. So that's what? $558,480 per annum if they get the full $5 from Patreon. Not too shabby...

Edit: They are also listed in the top 20 across all of Patreon. Not sure if that's based on income or number of patrons though...
