Still Ill

Usually can't stand him, but he wasn't too irritating today.
Did his voice sound different to anyone else?

Sid Lowe doesn’t really work as a guest cause he tries to play the Ken role. Nobody puts Ken in the corner!

I'm going to have to listen I guess, just so I can hear how far he's gone up his own rectum by now. Even though I couldn't stand listening to Graham Hunter back in the day and I'm not the least bit sad he's never heard from on SC. I think he just stuck around contributing to OTB while the boys were trying to get their act together. They are intelligent men, I'm sure they're well aware that he is a pompous arse.

Oddly I was going to listen to OTB am today, because I was sure last night Joe Molloy said Andrew Mangan would be on it. Saw Hunter in the description and thought f*** that.

What was the gist of the Hunter - Harris debate this morning? (I'd prefer not to have to actually listen to Graham Hunter

)

Something about European leagues not being competitive. Hunter was claiming Harris said that.... it got very intense.... I don’t think Ghrame is able to share a mic, he doesn’t play well with others.... he is usually just allowed to pontificate solo.

Marcotti isn't too bad when he's not hosting.

Listened to far too many football podcasts this week on the esl.

He really is an odd character. Is there a reason why he is never on second captains ?

He's the ****s. He singlehandedly gets me to switch off OTB every time I hear him.

Does Simon Hick do any other media work? I don’t give a **** about rugby but find Hick really interesting to listen to.

Only other thing I'm aware of is an occasional article in the Irish times.

Hes mad, isnt he. Hes like some regular in the pub who has decided hes a poet or something. Or a medieval kings advisor the way he tries to blow smoke up the audience's hole.

HaHa, spot on!

I had the misfortune to hear a podcast where he described a "life changing event" which sent him to Spain to document football there, it seems the importance of which only he can truly appreciate

Salvation Tambourine

Just look at the image he has for his podcast, says it all really

Ol' Donie

Ah for f-

Been saving yesterday's pod after thr ESL collapse for walking the dogs today, and it's Marcotti AND Miguel.

Talk about a gut punch.

It's a good podcast. I enjoyed the contributions of both Miguel and Marcotti. Ken was very funny at times and Murph had his moments.

The audio of Josh Kroenke has me laughing my arse off here

Marcotti wasn't bad yesterday, to be fair to him.

Ol' Donie

Yeah, it is a good pod, in fairness.

I remember he did a zoom call with OFTB AM wearing sunglasses.

Did you smash it

His big interview pod; Jesus, he had Phil Neville and Matt le Tissier on it (separately) and spent half the fcuking interview talking about their cricket “careers”. Weird.

Yeah he wasn't on the marcotti scale but he went full blown when he struck down ken about boris getting involved.

Might listen to this as I hate both of them. Might get some perverse enjoyment from it.

I enjoyed Marcotti yesterday. And normally I find him a hard listen.

Nobody needs two doses of MD in a single week.

Just finishing the Trimble/McConville podcast. Interesting stuff, I like these sorts of pods.

Yeah, really enjoyed it.

When I initially listened to McConville on any radio/podcast it was hard to get past the accent & voice - he sounds pretty dour in fairness! But have come around to him big time. He's a really interesting guy and not quite as dour as his tone & inflection would suggest.

Also on Trimble, whilst he was playing, and having seen a few videos of him chatting religion, I just assumed he was a very stoic and boring religious guy but he's a very funny & likeable guy.

Have listened to a bit of his Potholes & Penguins podcast with Barry Murphy. It's pretty good, they had some good interviews over the 6Nations. Last few have been pants though.

Obrieski

8 minutes into today's pod...Ken talking about whiskey and surely threw in a dig at Ewan McKenna "stay up for the next 3 hours, writing and then deleting tweets"

I was chuckling away at that

Joe are bust so I'd imagine that's why. Dion Fanning gone from them too

I hope he lands somewhere else to do his unfiltered series. Always liked it.

Ya it was a decent pod although they did kill it quite early so mustn't have been getting enough listeners.

He overdid it on BREXIT. A lot of pods were too samey on that subject

This will sound like a dig at the rugby coverage, as it gets a bit of grief here, but it’s not intended that way. But I did some laughing at today’s podcast.

Someone was saying before how the rugby lads all use the same phrases or buzzwords, and today was the best one yet. Simon gave a recital on how great a place La Rochelle is for ROG to go because there’s no pre existing culture or history and it’s this big malleable ball ready for ROG to form it.
Shane Horgan comes on and Simon gives the word for word same story to Horgan, but stops short at the last sentence. And Horgan first words “I agree, the club is so malleable”!!!!
