I like Murph for the GAA talk but sometimes he comes off as forced.

Murph missing from today's Podcast. Might sound harsh but its every bit as good without him. Wouldn't really miss him tbh

Ken's lack of interest in work experience kids was brilliant because it's probably how most people feel when they get lumped with one

Say Your Number

I'd agree with Ken, it would have been annoying if that Denver Broncos receiver was a success at QB.

US Murph reminiscing about doing live shows, Ken watching football in the corner ignoring everyone, people going in and out to the bar mid-show annoys me too.

Remember Eoin saying way back on OTB that Peter Collins kind of ignored him and talked a lot to some other lad about Hockey for a while.

Another week of disproportionate coverage/gloating of a Man Utd defeat, compared to when they win.

Lampard and Jose are doing well, have to target someone else!

It doesn't bother me one bit to be honest, but I'd imagine if you supported one of the teams it would get tiresome

Thanks for saying it. I chose not to bother.

Not true, Ireland pay net 229 million net not 2bn, Germany pay net 12bn yes, but they receive back 12bn also but pay approx 24 bn in

Jesus even I have forgot what the original point was

I don't know what you mean to be honest. She seems entirely reasonable to me.

If you really mean a certain proportion of listeners find that she's a female journalist talking about sport a turn off then I'd agree with you. Let's be honest here: that's the beginning and the end of the problem. Because if you think she ever says something crazily feminist on SC then, buddy, you need your head checked.

Thats exactly the point, Germany gets 12bn from the EU, Ireland gets 2bn. Thats where his arguments start and end, he screams look at how much in total they are getting compared to the other without any relevance whatsoever.

But thats not for here and he is not worth a thread on his own

Not interested in going off on that kind of tangent but a bit of a weird claim to say "most" people are turned off by her type of feminism. I don't even really know what you mean by that but as I said I don't mind her at all and follow her on twitter without ever noticing anything I particularly disagreed with, certainly not enough to get annoyed about her being on the pod.

Anyway, I've no issue with her contributions to the podcasts and think she's been especially good on the book review every year.

I don't get the hate people have for Sinead O' Carroll. Think she's a decent guest if not the most interesting.

As for the stuff about McKenna, don't know how you can infer she's a "disciple" based on some tweets about his Dublin GAA stuff which IMO was perfectly fine reporting and while he had an axe to grind it didn't change the facts of what he was reporting. Dublin GAA fans are way too precious about themselves and their teams.

McKenna has gone off the rails completely these days and I've muted him on twitter so no idea what he's at now but there was a time where he was a decent journalist.

No point getting into that here as its not the forum for it but while at the start it was right to ask geniune questions, but he is and always was far from impartial and he has used the figure to suit his personal agenda (similar to me stating look Germany get more EU funding than Ireland what a disgrace) and with that has gathered a following because of it.

There was a time that Gemma O'Doherty was a decent journalist too

He's not gone full G.O.D though

Did Ewan have some involvement with TheJournal before he turned into that old woman from The Simpsons who throws cats at everyone she meets.

I dont think so but she refers people to his "honest reporting" when she gets challenged on twitter about things like Dublin GAA

BTW good description of Ewan

It's not often I cringe for the man, but I did cringe today when Ken attempted a "oh no you didn't" - with sass - in response to Murph at one point.

Touch of accidental Partridge.
