What's the story with that line?

Ken randomly bumped into yer man who had a hit with 'What is Love?' back in '93, can't remember where, and conducted an impromptu interview.

At Euro 2008 to be exact, Ken said he carrying 60 thousand Euro around in a suitcase.

I forgot that bit, brilliant.

From the drawn semi final against Kerry last year.

On another note its great to hear Tim Vickery on the show, hopefully they get him on plenty over the WC

So passionately, but still good-naturedly, biased, I always smile at it.

Ah it's completely indefensible from the point of view of a professional broadcaster, but I still love it.

During a stag recently there were a few of us shouting that and "No Tom No!!!", I'd like to think there were some Second Captains listeners appreciating it rather than the more realistic reality of people thinking we were loud and annoying.

There's a story on the BBC that Paolo Guerrero has been cleared to play at the World Cup. I think Tim Vickery said that was a bit of a long shot but still good news.

dulux99 · 31-05-2018 04:52PM

Is there anything duller than a hurler or footballer interview? Even when they've a good story to tell they're just dull as dishwater

Like Murph I thought that fella saying the World Cup will be of the highest standard was just some faceless politician and not the big cheese himself.

Wasn’t it putin’s words in an interpreters voice?

An actual disagreement on the show today, didn’t get too feisty unfortunately.

Cienciano · 07-06-2018 01:59PM

I think Ken summed up Putin nicely with "What trillion dollar bill?"

Another thing that is arguably even more tedious is Ken Early spending half an hour reading out footballers quotes from the last few days. I turned it off after a half an hour anyway, it could have gone on for the full episode for all I know

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 08-06-2018 09:25PM

It's gone rubbish but I'll stay subbed for the World Cup.

dulux99 · 09-06-2018 12:22AM

It has gone a bit tedious lately but hopefully the world cup jolts them back in to life. Would love if they got a few more decent pundits in the actual studio for the world cup, the phone and Skype interviews just don't have the same dynamic. They get guys in studio for almost every other sport that I can think of, apart from soccer.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 09-06-2018 12:28AM

I'm a big supporter of the lads, mainly for Ken, the lads a genius at times.

Lately though I prefer the OTB stuff, and I NEVER thought I'd say that. Anyone listen to the roadshow on Thursday night it was solid gold.

Kilbane is such a great addition.

I HATED OTB after the lads left, it was horrible but for the last few months it's been brilliant.

The roadshow? With Ronnie Whelan etc. Jesus! How tired is this roadshow thing?
Ken's not a 'genius' either.

I listen the odd time. The only times I find it decent are when Gilroy is nowhere to be heard.

Hard to believe that they are still doing that stupid quiz on Fridays. Bantz overload.

The World Cup build-up has been poor on SC so far. Football Weekly and The Totally Football Show have had some decent previews of each group, players to watch from each team and some trivia behind each team's qualification.

I know their pods are solely dedicated to football, in comparison to SC who dedicate time to GAA and rugby, among others. When the World Cup has been brought up on SC, the context is usually political/current affairs driven, chats about Putin, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I like the fact SC discuss broader issues relating to sport from time to time, but this is the biggest football tournament on the planet and I'd like to hear them talk about the meat and spuds of the tournament, which is the football itself. Maybe next week they'll have some better coverage/build-up.

I think the WC preview is going to be on Monday.

One solitary episode doesn't really cut the mustard though does it? One hour to go over 32 teams. That's poor if you're hanging your hat on that one episode. I couldn't care less about hearing sports journalists discuss putin to be honest, there's plenty of experts in Russian politics based in Europe and the US that I can listen to in that regard.

There's only about 8 of the 32 teams that anyone will give a crap about hearing about.

Thats not the point. They've spent lots and lots of time on the podcast lately discussing Putin, discussing the most mundane of quotes by footballers, etc etc. They could have spent that time doing some good research into the groups themselves, and giving a detailed preview which they just haven't. It's lazy to keep going back to the well of footballer quotes but it's something Ken does.... Alot.

I'd find the Putin stuff more interesting than hearing how Panama have qualified for the world cup. Each to their own.
