    Really good episode today on the Ozil debacle.

    Bit surprised they dedicated the whole show to it but I guess there's not a lot else going on...

    I'm a bit done in general with Ken's fondness for dissecting quotes, but he was the man you'd want to hear from yesterday. Admittedly Ozil's statement had greater wider significance than the latest transparently self serving blather thatMourinho dishes up regularly.

    Honingstein was good in his analysis, he's one of the top football journos around.

    Ken still managed a snippet of Mou moaning in at the end though.

    Give me that over "interesting quotes from [insert player or manager here] today"

    Spoiler alert - the quotes are literally never interesting. The only time they're ever marginally interesting is if the player trips over himself and forgets his media training for a second.

    I think there should be a moratorium this year on Ken talking Mourinho quotes. He's the least interesting of men when it comes to quotes; it's all just deflect, deflect attention away from any blame that could possibly fall on him by either throwing other people under the bus or saying something knowingly outrageous that'll keep the media all worked up with its outrageousness. He really has nothing interesting to say IMO.

    2 tickets going spare to the live show if anyone wants them. Can't make it myself!

    ah come on - Mourinho's comments were ridiculous.

    He's basically given up before the season has begun

    Not on about the specific comment, but hardly a report on sport goes by without a Mourinho quote being analysed to death by Ken. They are not that interesting each and every time.

    That's what wrecks my head, it just gets boring. Everyone knows what Jose is like so talk about something else.

    Do we ignore everyone when they say something ridiculous?

    Depends if they keep saying silly things over and over and over and over and over again.

    How many times do you take an idiot/manipulative person at face value?

    The Diego Torres stuff is funny and usually worth listening to, Ken giving out about Mourinho got boring a while ago and I wouldn't disagree with what Ken says about him.

    Did I somehow miss it or did they not preview the All-Ireland hurling semi-finals at all this week?

    Seems a major oversight given there is no Premier League football back yet and even if there was you would still expect some sort of preview of one of the biggest GAA weekends of the year.

    Especially with the narratives (ech, I hate myself a little for using the word) involved, especially Limerick, I'd say they're like dogs with 2 mickies with the excitement up there at the moment.

    They did, a good interview, but I thought they'd get Duignan and someone else on for a full preview of both semis.

    Mick Foley did quickly go over on the Cork Limerick game, I've heard a few previews of the Hurling semi finals so I'm not that bothered, never heard of Gaelic Sunday, I was happier to hear about that instead.

    Ken summed up the RTE panel beautifully.

    "Giles is going to figure out what's happening in the match, while Dunphy is going to decide, who's the prick here?"

    I agree with Ken about research, the majority of it is just window dressing, on his comments about social media, will RTE's coverage be blander from now on.
