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,

was in stitches today with Ken wetting himself laughing at the USA crowd code of conduct.
He lost control of himself with laughter at multiple points, was fantastic to listen to....think he even snorted with laughter a couple of times

The Ramble (and the Totally Football Show) moving to a weekly format was surprising to me. I don't listen to either mind.

The Tuesday show with Richie Sadlier was pretty good. He's excellent whenever he makes an appearance.

They're the 4th biggest podcast on patreon, very surprised by that

I had a look at the Football Ramble's page on Patreon to see how their venture was going and it doesn't show the amount of Patreons they have. I wonder if the link you have is for Patreons that have published their subscribers.

Ken seemed awful... giddy in the Monday shows. Usually takes a step back on the GAA ones but he was front and centre in the opening salvos. Definitely seemed like he had a good weekend anyway!

Two Ken F-bombs in the football podcast! :pac:

Yeah he was terrible on Monday, basically saying the others didnt know about hurling as they never played in an all Ireland. I'd guess he was on a heavy session with the Offaly lads the night before and wasnt in the best shape. Hopefully thats the end of him on with the lads, always has to get in how he predicted a result at some stage, he makes that many predictions he has to get it right eventually.

Monday's GAA podcast hummed of alcohol

It was like the morning after a stag night in a hotel lobby......and the stags Uncle from Offaly keeps talking in circles (having just woken up on the lobby couch).

Just finished there and jesus that was terrible stuff from Duignan, it's all about himself whenever he's on it

Wouldn't be surprised if there was some bit edited out, he was in the middle of a rant and then next thing he's going on about how good the Tipp players were, very quick change in tone and topic

I thought I was after skipping forward a minute or two accidentally, there was definitely something cut out, what he was talking about had nothing to do with what he was asked.

I don't mind Duignan usually but Jesus he was talking some nonsense Monday. He went off on a tangent about how well some Tipp players played when asked directly about if he thought it was a red card and then eventually came back around and said the ref made the right call. It was non-sensical from the start of the pod. At least if he came out and said that Barrett should have been sent off after striking Hogan as well he might have had some sort of a point, however tenuous but instead it was just rambling nonsense.

He went for a bit of "if you haven't played in an All-Ireland final", and was about 4 to 5 feet down that hole and accellerating before he realised he'd just told the other 3 that their opinions are worthless. Then he frantically started trying to dig up and completely flip-flopped on the red card. But it registered with the lads, there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere.

All I'll say for Deignan is at least he isn't Jackie Tyrrell, maybe he'll be less eager to lunge at every passing media outlet to loudly express his contempt for Tipp hurlers on the hour, every hour. Well, at least until the first week of January.

Michael Duignan: Proper Hurling Man

I'm done with listening to him on the pod. Between the nonsense he has spouted on a regular basis in the past, to the connents about the red card on commentary during the game, and then that absolute nonsense on the pod yesterday. I mean at least make your call based on the video evidence being presented to you instead of performing these mental gymnastics.

Even tried to bring up Richie Hogan's tough time with injuries as mitigation..

Honestly

These Leinster hurling sorts can be a bit odd

I'm going off on a tangent but this mentality actually infuriates me. They want a ref to get a decision wrong, because other referees for other decisions wrong. The logic of it is like something a 6 year old would come up with. Two wrongs don't make a right, we learn this very early in life.

Decision yesterday was 100% correct, fellas pointing to other incorrect decisions as potentially a means for it to only be a yellow is just total nonsense.

It was like Michael Duignan bingo today.

- references the fact that he secretly knew the result all along
- contradicts himself regularly
- whinges about the ref
- makes reference to the fact that he played in the All Ireland and you didn't

He particularly made an eejit of himself with regards to the refs decision. He acknowledged that the ref was right, however, feels the ref should have taken previous (incorrect) decisions into account. I saw alot of that mentality on twitter yesterday, it defies logic. Pointing to an incorrect decisions another ref made in order to justify the ref potentially making another wrong decision yesterday. Classic whataboutery.

I honestly don't know why they have him on. He's like an auld fella blabbering in the pub about the good old days, and telling you about horses he fancies after the horse has won. Painful.
