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,

I think my life is a little bit better for skipping that Miguel Delaney bit. Ken often plays the contrarian and you can tell he doesn't really believe what he's arguing but it's usually funny.

Like the bit about gaa players having to pay their clubs. Murph wasn't rising to that at all

I hope they continue to bring David Sneyd onto the podcast. I think he has been an excellent addition.

Took me a while to warm to him but I must say I'm liking his contributions when he's on the pod.

He also does some good stuff on the42 which I've only taken notice of recently.

Another David Sneyd fan. He seems like the most knowledgeable pundit going on anything to do with Irish soccer players.

You get the feeling that he's more than happy staying and working in Ireland doing what he does and not having dreams of going to the UK and reporting on English football where there is more than likely a lot more money.

Yes the recent article about the Irish Kilmarnock player was very entertaining.

On the subject of a newish addition, I'd like to hear more from Andy Dunne on rugby.. he's always prepared to offer an opinion that isn't just tired old rugby cliche ridden guff...

You know, stuff like 'you've got to earn the right to go wide' and 'that's trademark Munster'

Ken reading the Charlie Austin interview was fantastic!

Raisins

That treatment of the Charlie Austin interview was vintage stuff from the lads. I nearly cracked up on the bus home, you won’t get that kinda laugh anywhere else. Class.

For me it’s sunshine every time. Dubai. Sun. Done.

Except he does go over, and he just watches and reports on the Irish lads! What a good skin

I meant living in England and focusing on the English game more so.

Fair play to David though, really enjoy when he's on the show.

"It had a wobble on."

More dramatic renditions of Charlie Austin verbal diarrhoea any time.

I'd watch a show based on his holidays with his missus

That aussie guy was great, I really enjoyed his interview. Sad times over there for them, not just the fires but the attitude and reaction to them.

How random was that excerpt too. Fair play to them spending so much time on it, was in knots laughing! And he did totally sound like the darts guy, great shout!

Some wild tonal shifts today:

Sore balls

The World is Burning, we're all fcked

Some rugby lad has an injury

For anyone that subscribes to the RTE Second Captains Sunday feed which runs during the Summer typically with interviews for RTE there was an extra episode on new years eve which I haven't finished yet but is a reasonable listen, some irish born US ambassador to the UN but not as boring as it sounds

The one with the historian talking about the RIC was very interesting, good thing they didn't go for that edgelord fella who thinks British colonisation was a good thing.

Ken delighted Spurs are doing bad, an excuse to rip into Jose again. I love it tbh, long may it continue

I found the Jose segment absolutely mind numbing tbh.

Yeah, think I'm in the minority. Barney Ronay described him well. "he's like a virus who attacks it's host" :pac:

Was probably the best political podcast that they've done. It's usually very hit or miss depending on the guest but that was great stuff.

Yeah, could listen to him for far longer.

LineOfBeauty

Thought Ken had some good stats, he acknowledges himself that the Mourinho stuff crops up too often but every once in a while I don't mind a good Mourinho rant and, tbf to Ken, what he's saying is true, a portion of the Spurs fanbase are already becoming ardent-Mourinho fans, same thing that has happened at every other club he's been at.

radharc

The only problem recently is that if you read Ken's piece in the Irish Times (which usually lands on a Sunday night/Mon morning) then you have the full content spoilered for his Monday football pod. Might start skipping the articles.
