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,

Who’s George Gibney?

Come on now lads, this whole massive podcast production is just a smoke screen for what really was happening to mark.

Will be interesting to see how Dots the Fantasist explains this.

He will probably complain his fiver a month is subsidising a BBC production

interesting, I find the hotkey thing fairly childish and low brow. interrupts the conversation sometimes.

Ah some of them can be pretty funny if played at the right moment. Even Ken has been known to crack up when it's done right. Like most things though it's best in moderation. And not like they use them during interviews. Only when the three of them are bickering with each other.

Have Ken and US Murph ever interacted at all on air? Can't remember, off the top of my head. Not that US Murph ever intrudes within Ken's narrow enough range, but I would have thought they'd have swapped pleasantries at some stage.

They have but Ken doesn't have very much interest in US sports and probably decided he can stay out and focus on other things

Former top Irish Olympic swimming coach who was abusing a lot of young swimmers but got off scot free due to legal technicalities. Gary O’ Toole (former Olympic swimmer, top contributor to OTB Paper Review and basically one of Ireland’s finest gentlemen) was instrumental in outing Gibney.

The whole story is pretty shocking with suggestions of powerful people pulling strings to cover up for him and he somehow was granted a visa to move to the US afterwards where he was again involved in swim coaching.

I haven’t heard anything new about him for at least 10 years so this really could be fascinating listen.

S. Goodspeed

Only heard about Colm O’Rourke’s comments from the show today. I’m 37 and used “pansy” growing up fairly liberally and probably also once or twice within the last 2 years. I never really thought about its meaning but honestly never knew it was a gay slur.

Thought Murph’s suggestions that as a school teacher O’Rourke should know better was a bit off base, the other two were fairly reasonable about it.

Maybe he’s hankering for a return to Off the Ball.

When Eoin was talking about Haalands goal against Bremen he said it was a beautiful little dink over the keeper. When that was Julian Brandt's shot, all Haaland did was "make sure" it went in when it was going in anyway.

I expect a full apology from Eoin

Whatever party fails in the GE i bet ken will have the obligatory it was obvious that the campaign was destined to fail afterward the fact podcast next Friday.

I actually do like the political podcasts but easy to look smart after it's done.

Isn't that what everyone does when it comes to political results?

did they miss a trick not doing a GE Ken political pod special? I half expected one.

lawred2

Might be just me but anyone else getting crazy reverb effects with the latest pods?

Will only happen when the dust settles. It would be so out of date so quick if they did it now.

I'd say Sexton would want to start looking into getting a pre-emptive restraining order against Thornley for when he has retired from Rugby.

The football podcast yesterday was pointless. I know its the winter break but could have left this off.

Mick McCarthy story was pointless. The "teleporter" was ridiculous.

The RB Leipzig monologue based on the article in some obscure German magazine.

I did get a laugh out of his portrayal of the election. But that report on sport was painful.

Christ, I had forgotten about that Phil Neville line.

I enjoyed parts but really felt like they were going through the motions (and watching the election results in the background maybe!). It was a great opportunity to discuss the relegation battle this year after some of the results over the weekend imo instead always focusing on the top

I kinda liked it. They had nothing really to talk about and kind of went all over the place.

That Phil Neville story was insane - he's a very strange man with a very strange life.

Ken was wondering if the blue yazoos were milk flavoured. Surely milk flavoured yazoos would just be milk?

Though the teleporter joke is a waste of time. It's not even funny in a "can you believe how lame this is" kind of way.

Was definitely worth a podcast for the Phil Neville story alone.....

I see sheep

Thornley with a sly dig at the election result "change so change's sake, there's a lot of that going around".
Easy to say from your D4 bubble Gerry.

The teleporter joke is worth it for how disdainful Ken seems to be about it.

It can be consigned to the dustbin of SC history as far as I'm concerned. Alongside PESBO and Frances Murphy's Guide to the weekend AKA Five Minutes of filler to pad out the Friday Episode.

Grunge week is okay though.
