Ken got hit hard again today.... I would say his nerves are shot.

Liked the cancellation threat that Ken threw at Tim after that atrocious Irish accent attempt.

RH? Surely you mean 'Raffi'.

Was ready to put my fist through the phone with him saying that. I'd say RH can't stand him.

I'm sure he agrees with plenty.

He just took the headline and said I wouldn't agree with anything then he actually says fairly similar things to what Ken said in the article. Enjoyable pod today, I usually miss Eoin but Ciaran did well today. RH is brilliant, loved the story about him correcting Kens grammar

I'm sure if you showed Giles some of Ken's articles without a name attached, he probably would agree with a fair amount of what he has to say, I'd love to know what Ken said when they met to get that level of disdain anytime his name gets mentioned by Dunphy.

Ken and Giles did seem to agree that Messi playing that way for Munich wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah it wasn't a good episode at all. Ken went off on strange tangents about messi inspiring other younger players via TV and mobile phones. Seemed like 4 or 4 half points balled up together and Murph didn't reel him in like Eoin would have. RH on again and he was good.

Is Miguel Delaney to Pochettino what Duncan Castles is to Jose Mourinho? i.e a paid cheerleader?

In the last few weeks Delaney has "linked" Pochettino to the jobs at Juve and Barca, only for them to give the job to someone else a few hours later..fairly lame

No he is just a terrible journalist

The messi take was a weird one alright, thought he might have gone after him for his poor recent record in the champions league.

RH is always good. Him, Tim Vickery and Jonathan Wilson would be my favourites.

Was looking forward to it too but then realized Eoin was not presenting and they will have bloody Miguel Delaney on

It can be really good depending on who he has on. Niall Stanage on American politics and Chris Johns on economics are really good. The quality of the contributor determines the quality of the show. Unfortunately he gets a lot of absolute headbangers on there too and Dunphy is such an inveterate hole licker to whoever he is talking too that he never challenges any wacky opinion.

I haven't listened to it too much when he has the boys talking about football. I love Johnny Giles, he was my favourite pundit for a long, long time and he was still more than decent for a long time after people said he was past it, but I do think he is legitimately past it now. His stories about the past are fantastic, but he's well out of touch with today at this stage.

I just like to hear Giles talking about football, to be honest. I don't mind if it's not that insightful (I would argue most pundits are not especially insightful). I just like to hear what he thinks. It's the only thing on Off The Ball I regularly listen to these days

I quite like The Stand, but I don't listen if it's a topic I'm not interested in (which is reasonably common).

He’s gone fairly scorpy in his old age too. He was never all that cheery but he’s sour as a bag of lemons these days.

Whats the stand like, worth a listen? Liked Dunphy in the past but Giles is struggling a bit in recent years

Monday episodes are always the worst. Ken talks for 40 mins about the football (normally mainly one story) then they have someone on to talk for a half hour about the exact same thing Ken has spent the whole episode talking about.

And its already what's he has said in that days paper.
