Second Captains

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.

Cheers,

Strange. I thought he came across as quite an affable chap.

I thought he was ok, but I really dislike Miguel Delaney. He's the only contributor that I actually skip past no matter what he's talking about.

Why exactly? I am a bit neutral on most journos

The only contributor on any podcast that I absolutely cannot stand, to the point of skipping past them every time, is Graham Hunter.

Lads why do so many dislike Miguel Delaney? Is he a spoofer or something? Never found him irritable at all.

Tennis podcast woman was good. I'd like to hear more from her in future.

Put me down as someone who has no problem with/likes Miguel. He does know his stuff and is easy to listen to.

Rugby chat usually bores the absolute arse off me, but I thought Donnacha Ryan was good yesterday.

Ken has well and truly outed murph as a Man-U fan at this stage, again on Monday. Wonder what the story was with that?

Ken has been a bit of d*ck lately about Utd - happy to spend ages covering them when Jose was struggling but barely a mention out of him when Utd are doing well.

Murph has always openly supported Man Utd. It's the other two have been much more guarded.

Jose's cretinous behaviour this season was classic material for Ken's newsround. Other than acknowledging that Solskjaer has got off to a good start - what else is there to say.

Jose was the target in all that, it was the same when he went to pieces at Chelsea

Hope they use David Snyed more for the Irish football scene. Dion fanning has his own pod now so let him run his mouth on that and leave Mr. answer a question with a question on the players chair.

Agreed. Thought he was great. Never heard Ken as engaged or in agreement with a footy journo on SC in a long time.

He's a pure spoofer. Never says anything interersting, talks in generalities and appears to be a complete pr**k if his twitter is anything to go by.

I literally skip the second I hear them introduce him.

I think Ken is just more interested in characters rather than teams. He spent another long 15 minutes on his other favourite subject, Neymar, on last Thursday's pod.

And Neymar appears to be injured until April so Ken is going to be stuck for material! :pac:

What podcast number was the Snyed lad on? I was doing lots of skipping so must have missed him. Was he on about the domestic game?

But characters are what make the game interesting

Teams after for sticker books

He was on about Luke Kelly's love of football, but then suck around for some general football chat.

Gerry Thornley loves nothing more than sandwiching the term "ebb and flow" into a chat about a rugby match. Bloody loves it he does.

Do you judge everyone by how they appear on the cesspool that is Twitter ?

If I didn't already know what he looked like, I would have guessed this was probably him on the right ;

He's got a few stock phrases including
- ebb and flow ("of psychic energy" often gets tacked on).
- Top Quatorze
- fait accompli
- callow bench / <position>
- coaching ticket

"like hen's teeth" is another one I can think of.

I'll probably cop some abuse for this, but I actually like Thornley.
