Sounds like something OTB would rejoice in covering, but I would expect a bit more nuance from the lads. Glad I missed out on that pod. In my opinion, Sinead O'Carroll is their worst contributor by a country mile, and an unmerciful pain in the arse to listen to!

When was she on it last? Christmas to review books? Even then there were posts here from a few people about how much the volume of her voice in that segment annoyed them, which was pathetic nit-picking about nothing: there was no issue with her levels that day, none. But yet some people were adamant that it was excruciating to listen to her. Finding fault at its finest.

The attitude the lads seemed to be adopting is "no transgender athlete is winning Olympic medals yet so there is no story". This demotes all sport outside of the very elite levels to "just a bit of fun, anything goes" and therefore they seem to see no problem with average biological males self declaring as female and dominating their division - such as is the case in junior athletics in Connecticut at state level with the two lads beating all around them after declaring as transgender. This is going to be a whole lot harder to sort out when the inevitable happens and they have to take Olympic medals off someone who should never have been there in the first place. The concept of balance seems to be lost on them with Sinead O' Carroll, who is painfully woke, and their other guest, chair of Transgender Equality Network Ireland. I wonder would the lads be so flippant if it was men's sport.

If it's club rubgy we'll get an entire podcast on 2 games. 6 nations and we'll get 1 pod on the Ireland game review, one that week on the build up. It's a bit too much coverage for so little sport. Soccer is the top 6 and maybe barca and real. I mean, GFW do all the premier league, championship, lower leagues and the big leagues across Europe in the same time SC do about 3 matches involving the big teams! I'm not interested in womens sport or gaa, but I appreciate why they cover them, but I just wish they'd expand a bit more on other football and rugby.

It's not that they're doing bad work but it's really getting to the stage where they're just not talking about anything I'm interested in.
