Dion is pretty smug, but he's intelligent and articulate so I'm okay with him.

He needs another podcast too. Really liked Ireland Unfiltered.

WHy is he gone from Joe anyway? The money bother they had?

Still Ill

I really like listening to Dion. He's pretty funny. Noticed he was on the Totally Football Show on Thursday too. Has he got another writing gig yet since he left Joe?

Sneyd is up there with Miguel on my 'not listen to the pod' scale just out of sheer inarticulateness. Lump him with the personification of smugness (without any reason to be!) Dion Fanning and you're going to have a bad time!

Found the football preview of the Ireland game yesterday absolutely brutal! Your man whinging about his wedding before offering no insight into the game other than verbal diarrhoea. Pretty poor showing and he couldn’t even pronounce Skriniars name despite being Slovakias best players along with Hamsik. One of the poorest podcasts I've listened to in a while.

That annoyed me too. He’s a poor contributor.

Sneyd called it with McClean though!

But yeah it was poor enough when Dion on Sneyd came on.

I don't mind Sneyd or Dion but both of them together isn't great. Both chaps need someone with more Wattage sitting opposite them. The two together are dull.

Sneyd was poor, his shout on McClean was to play as part of a midfield 3 in the centre which was odd. If Connolly was available I'd say he'd have started

Anyone else enjoy his not so subtle digs at Dunphy (presumably) from their time in the RTE studio?
They really seem to not get on at all!

Once again Boards.ie asks the question and SC answer. It was very funny listening to Richie today talking about his experience working with Dunphy.

Same. For all sports. The NFL with fake noise is brutal too.

There's always the mute button which also deals with "danger here"

Can rte not afford the fake noise machine ? They should at least just have the noise of a pub or a restaurant or a rollercoaster over the match... something is needed

I thought he was going to say that "certain" pundits' opinions were influenced by vodka in the water glass, but then he said gambling!

Don't find Richie Sadlier's opinion on soccer interesting at all. It is a complete mystery to me how he has amassed a media career.

I'd value Ken Early's opinion more and at least I might get funny side comment as well.

I never heard of him before this week but he seems to be doing the podcast rounds at the minute with the book and comes across as good value.

US Murph was increasingly getting on my nerves as the years went by but it is pretty easy to skip his section, no need to listen and then get annoyed and start complaining (although it took me a few months of getting annoyed listening to him before I realised this myself and started skipping him last year:pac:)

Just a pod recommendation based on above posts, Mea Culpa - Michael Cohen (Trump's former lawyer that did time). He talks to other former Trump employees, gives some insight into the man and talks about the insane cult-ure around Trump.

Anyways no more politics talk, big game Thursday, COYBIG

While we are on recommendations may I suggest "the madness of crowds" by Douglas Murray.

International breaks are just the pits.

I thought it was very heavily biased with even Phelan's lawyer having to talk Dunphy down from some very wrong assumptions he had.

Yeah fair point. I was just glad to see it get proper air time.

Why did he tell Eoin to **** off?

Eoin had asked him how quitting the smokes was going or something to that effect.

Still think that rant about 18 months ago when he gave up the smokes was the best episode ever . Where he said " why don't you just **** off Eoin".
