Second Captains

what was said about Phil Neville?

Election episode was fairly dull stuff I thought. Yer man Regan is Miguel Delaney level annoying too, which is impressive in its own way I suppose.

The guy who was on a while ago speaking about the Black and Tans was a bit too eager to speak. Kept interrupting Ken and the other guest mid flow.

He done Ken a favor by interrupting and stopping him making a tit of himself. Kens knowledge of Irish political history seems to be very shallow. thus the constant referring to Brexit and Trump

His wife was at death's door with a very difficult delivery in the maternity hospital, and all Phil was interested in was being able to pop out for a bit of training. He did leave, but eventually the amount of haemorraging, emergency C-sectioning, and the baby's heart completely stopping for a period convinced him that it would be a good idea to cut the training short and return to the hospital. (Of course he could have just been off trying to track down the mythical Vanilla Yazoo). Odd fellow is Phil Neville.

I thought the discussion around Water Charges and Property Tax was very telling. This will be very interesting to see how this evolves and whether the paying for services, which we all voted for, will also be paid for by these areas.

Find myself not listening the last few weeks. Think I’m finally tired of Ken’s provocateur schtick, and the guys seem less into it in general these days. Murph not adding anything either. Could do with a few Players Chair episodes and less Mourinho / Var discussion. Needs an Ireland v Denmark audiobed update to bring me back I think !

For the first time since Ken & Gilroy on Newstalk I've not been bothered if I've missed the show over the past few months.

Although I put it down to being fed up with all of football, GAA and rugby. It'll pass I'm sure. Well, I hope. I've stopped listened to Football Weekly and Totally Football Show too. (Part of this is because they all seem to be trying their best to out smug each other. (Not you, McDevitt. Or you Jimbo.)

Still catch every US Murph, mind you.

Really enjoyed the League of Ireland preview today

I enjoyed the episode too BUT it was not a preview episode!
They only spent 20 secs on what will happen this season and that was just 1 question of who will win the league.

Does the Man City champions league ban demand a emergency saterday broadcast ???

No. Then they'd just have to do another one when it's inevitably overturned on appeal.

I'd say keep the faith. They have remarked twice in recent weeks that it will be / was hard to scrape together content for the Monday shows. I think the absence of a title race in the Premier League, and post-WC rugby hangover are taking their toll. I expect the podcasts to pick-up when the Champions League resumes.

I also really enjoyed Ken's reference to Sarri getting into a fight with the Italian post office!

Think that's the 3rd time in a row a major football story has broken while Ken has been on his holidays.

I have to say, I really struggle to warm to that Branno fella. His documentaries have been decent but he comes across as a bit of an arse.

Well he is often on holidays

Anyone else think Miguel learned the term "Petrol State" this week?
