I enjoyed Eoin’s anecdote about Ken’s reaction to Newstalk getting the national radio licence.

We got three hours worth of Football over the last few days, does anyone really care enough about the Europa League?

Ken going through that Pochettino interview was gold, I think we should nearly start paying Diego Torres at this stage for the amount of entertainment he's given us via Ken.

I thought they would mention it for 5min and maybe just talk about the whole thing of all English European finals.

Also today we have the PL coming down to the final day to decide the champion and not one mention of it. Bizzare.

Ya the way Friday's podcast was out so early they obviously recorded it Thursday just to cover the champions cup

Sam Lee was interesting on the city transfer plans. Sounds like there might be a few interesting comings and goings

Ah, Ken, bless your innocence.

It was the one the day after the Spurs/Ajax game. They were chatting with Richie Sadlier about it, and specifically about the amount of players and managers crying on football pitches nowadays.

Couldn't believe Ken of all people came out with a statement like that, I like the mental image of Messi drinking a can of Coke while maintaining eye contact with Guardiola.

More of US Murph and his beloved bleeding Warriors, Jaysus.

Anyone else going to unsub over the summer? There's feck all to subscribe for really.

Arghus · 15-05-2019 05:59PM

Don't know if I'll unsubscribe, but you'd wonder what they will do for content over the next few months, it's one of the dead summers with no international tournament. I don't know if I can listen to GAA talk for three months and pretend to myself that I actually give a sht.

There'll be some good stuff still. 90% of what I want is soccer and I've absolutely zero interest in GAA, but they can have the tenner or whatever it is for the two months, it's well deserved imho.

EltonJohn69 · 15-05-2019 06:19PM

It’s time for Ken to revisit the subject of UFO’s. Second Captains over the summer should be 75% UFO/inter-dimensional beings discussion and 25% general sport coverage.

lawred2 · 15-05-2019 06:35PM

Unsubscribe for the sake of a fiver... Nah

Say Your Number · 15-05-2019 06:42PM

There will be plenty of transfer rumours and the ongoing FAI scandal for them to talk about over the summer, they'll probably do more niche historical pieces with more when they've more time to fill, while I like the coverage of the main sports you could set your watch by what they talk about, it's great when you think 'wow, I didn't know that' after one of their pods.

One of their big selling points, imho. There are rakes of sport-specific pods out there.

When I haven't at this stage I probably won't bother for all it costs. Their GAA coverage is average and their domestic soccer coverage is dire, but there should be some good stuff among it all.

kippy · 15-05-2019 10:27PM

Quietish summer but it'd be a good chance to roll out some more players chair/interviews with sports people/administrators types of things, which seem to have all but disappeared.
I'm not a major fan of any specific sport but I'd listen to the lads angle on any sport for the entertainment value alone. Even the GAA can bring up some good comedy gold.

Ol' Donie · 15-05-2019 10:53PM

I kinda find them more valuable when there's nothing much on.

In the sense that I need something to fill the void left by football, so I'll take the lads talking about anything.

Edit: like that George Hamilton interview from a (good) while back

Beersmith · 15-05-2019 10:54PM

Copa America or god forbid another LOI podcast!!!

RedRochey · 16-05-2019 08:53AM

You've the Nations League, copa america, african cup of nations, not saying I'd be desperate to get updates on these but they usually come out with interesting stories about them

Brock Turnpike · 16-05-2019 01:14PM

Definitely won't unsubscribe but will more than likely skip a few pods as I'm expecting a lot of GAA-central pods.

I think Ken should do some travel pods.

Ken going to the shops would probably end up being entertaining.

Even the rugby world cup isn't until September. Not much on apart from GAA really. Doubt I'll unsubscribe though.

Saw on twitter a few days ago they liked a tweet from a man who mentioned that he was listening to the pod from Everest base camp.

Sadly turns out it was Seamus Lawless who’s still missing. Nice touch from the lads to tweet out they’re thinking of him and his family. Poor guy. Hope the search is a success.

Saw that, bit of a pity a lot of people didn’t realise the context of the message and were making jokes about Wi-Fi on Everest.

Was he missing at the time they made the jokes?

I'm sure they weren't aware of it.

Heard that Anton O'Toole, the man that inspired arguably the greatest poem of all time died earlier today.
