    I think their commentators are terrible. But I do enjoy Kerr and Souness.

    Agree about the commentators. I don't mind Trevor, but the guy that's also on the bbc who's name I have forgotten. I can't stand the sound of his voice.


    As for RTE, I was hoping Joanne Cantwell would get the gig after Bill retired. She was very impressive when she filled in before getting the GAA gig. But it was always going to be Darragh. It's RTE and it was his turn basically.

    Jonathan Pearce? He’s terrible but I always find his Helen Lovejoy overreaction to Cantona hilarious.

    His fake accent is a disgrace. The man who famously called Kenny Cunningham - Cunny Kenningham

    Maybe it's a lockdown thing, but the amount of times Murph says "y'know" in a Ger Gilroy-length question is beginning to get to me.


    That and Ken’s overuse of the word “like”

    Pay attention to how many times he says "d'ya know what I mean".

    Pearce is a terrible commentator, but what makes him hard to put up with - the pomposity, the overwrought melodramatics, sudden fever pitch delivery - helped make that Cantona commentary so glorious.

    To be fair, Darragh is pretty good. I do like Joanne, she has done a few LOI games/Soccer Republics and she was a lot more knowledgeable than Peter Collins. There is a ridiculous amount of abuse for her online though whenever she is on one of the sports shows. A fair amount of it has a sexist sentiment.

    Does anyone else get angsty when they don't have the pod out before lunch?
    I can't enjoy my lunch break as much when I'm sat there refreshing the feed in anticipation.

    Have to say Ken completely bored the hole off me today. First time in a long time I had to skip it forward. Painful at times.

    Can't believe it's the last week of the isolation podcast.

    It's one of those things I know already, I'm really, really going to miss.

    I'd love it if they got him to do the odd podcast every now and then. Or, dare I say it, a semi regular pod, once a month or something?

    I like David Snyed but I hope he's not back on talking about Premier League football again, contributed nothing but negativity today.

    Some of the reaction to the weekend's matches you'd think there was never a bad game of football before when there was fans. Probably a topic for a different thread though.

    He was a real misery gut today for sure. Poor listening experience for me.

    They really got bogged down talking about Roy Keane today. David Sneyd should be kept for discussing Irish football matters, which he's very good at.

    I was just waiting for him to throw out the obligatory 'give me the League of Ireland over this anyday' comment....thought I was going to be left disappointed but he came up with the goods right at the very end.

    Is that the lad who goes on about Bohs being sort of like the hip 'punk rock' LOI club? real Emmet Kirwan type if so!

    He's generally pretty decent anytime they have him on, but today was an off day. He seemed strangely surprised that games played in empty stadiums felt different to games played in front of tens of thousands of fans.

    Ken was obviously reading the thread on reddit that listed Arsenal's stupid defeats going back to 2006.

    First Monday podcast back with the premier league and it was very poor. I'd agree, keep Sneyd for League of Ireland and the national team

    We all know football without fans isn't the same. Mention it and move on rather than bang on about it how crap it is

    There were some brilliant goals this past week. It hasn't been all bad

    To be fair to David Sneyd, it seems like Ken feels the exact same. It is like he doesn't really even want to watch the games but has to just for work.

    Does anyone else have any Second Captains bits they say during a normal day?

    I find myself saying Tomas O'Se's "Shcumbag" at least four times a day, sometimes for absolutely no reason.

    He's just a crying, big baby
    and basically everything the Kilmarnock fan says in the angry fan remix... They've all slipped into my everyday conversations over the last few years :)
