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,

Because there'd be plenty of whinging if they didn't. It's the off season, news is thin on the ground, especially with the lack of transfers so far this summer. lthough I enjoyed it, as I generally do when they have Oluwashina on. Maybe they're keeping their meagre store of football content for later in the week.

Ah I know, but for such a blockbuster weekend of sport, spending an entire pod on football when there was hardly anything happening seemed a bit unnecessary. Even Ken couldn't help but talk about the other sport!

I don't know why they bothered with a football podcast yesterday. I suppose Ken loves nothing more than speaking about Neymar so presumably that's an itch scratched!

Interesting comments under the original tweet. I thought the interview so incredibly one sided against a person who essentially said 'all violence is bad'

Didn’t like it at all . Very witchhunty feel to the whole thing.
He plead guilty and the girl in question has stayed with him by all accounts .
She has forgiven him , why the hysteria ?

The man can paint a picture with words.

Also remember him from TSG growing up. Great memories.

He's brilliant isn't he!?

An evening with him would be a pleasure..

I don't mean one of those soulless corporate 'evening with X' either.. just an evening in a pub corner or someone's front room.

Exactly. People want to moan about people moaning. But no one is moaning so they moan anyway. :pac:

one thing I couldn't be arsed with are self gratifying try hard emails from DIG or Ultimate Frisbee blah blah or any other crap like that

Very strong interview today on the controversy in New Zealand rugby. The boys were on top form with their questioning and the NZ contributor was articulate and detailed in his responses.

But if your barnet is as tight as his can you not just shave it? I assumed the convenience of that was one of the main reasons why guys went for that look.

I go blade 1 all over, blade 0/wet shave is a bit too Mekon-ish. The tiny hairs produced by a 1 are a worse mess than longer hair clippings, IMHO.

I think Richie was making too big a deal about it tbh. I use a good bit of social media and it was the vast minority and pretty much zero football fans had a problem with the tea celebration. You'll always have a tiny minority on twitter looking for a reaction by being a contrarian, but why give them so much airtime? The only person who I saw complain about it was another female footballer, Lianne Sanderson. No England fans seemed to have a problem with it.
And I think Richie is letting the Americans a way with a bit, especially the Thailand game. Imagine Manchester United against Aldershot Town in the FA cup 3rd round and Alexis Sanchez celebrating united's 10th goal in the same way as Rapinoe. Would Richie be telling people that's a brilliant winning mentality? I think it's being a knobend, man or woman.

I was hoping USA would win the final, mostly because it annoyed a certain section of the USA population, but I can understand why anyone wouldn't support them. And for a guy who was giving out about how women are treated differently to men, he spend about 20 minutes focusing on the gender of the players rather than the actual game.

Despite their generally progressive coverage regarding the women's World Cup, they still spent half the time talking about a man.

Richie's delivery of 'You're a moron' when talking about people being upset about Alex Morgan's celebration was fantastic.

Thought Richie was trying too hard at times yesterday.

Life hack: Cut your hair while standing in the bath. Sweep up the hairs with a dustpan and brush and wash the remainder down the sink. Problem solved. :cool:

Wanting to see Phil Neville fail and having to live with his 'Brendan Rodgers lite' act forever more ignited my interest in the tournament. Plus, in fairness the England/USA match was very exciting and had a great atmosphere.
