Right on dude. Don't let that mindset win!!!
Can you send me your RSS feed for the football show? I can't seem to get them back on podcast addict.
While I agree that Howe should be questioned, I did notice that Ger and Eoin looked decidedly uncomfortable last week when Jonathan Wilson was talking about a very litigious billionaire owner stifling journalism.
Does this work?
Perfect, thanks
I wonder will Richie Power’s powerful story be covered in a meaningful way or do the gambling sponsors come first ?
Its obvious most maybe all of the bookies sponsorships have gone in the last 6 months, soccer used to be sponsored by PP is now is sponsored by Sky.
Double post
Joe asked Tommy Walsh about it last night during the discussion on hurling semi finals.
Given the nature of the addiction it was no surprise that Tommy didn't know what Power was going through at a time they were teammates winning All Irelands together.
Why do people come into this thread and make disingenuous statements to throw a dig at a show with out listening to it?
I don't like the OTB gambling sponsors as much as the next person but Christ, give it a rest and listen to the show to see if the issue you want covered was covered before making a fool of yourselves.
Know the diff between a statement and a question? Clue is the ‘?’ chief.
Ah g'way. You weren't asking a question. You posted (AFTER the show had aired) just to have a dig and nothing more.
Statement, question, proclamation, either way it was disingenuous and you didn't actually care what the answer was.
Way to use the story of a gambling addict to fuel your agenda though. You couldn't give two fiddlers what Richie Power had to go through.
Wrong again chief. My QUESTION was posted before the show. Anyway simmer down there before you blow a gasket.
Apologies, it was your double post I saw.
Either way, you used the story of a gambling addict just to fuel your own agenda. You couldn't give a toss about Richie Power's plight.
As for 'blowing a gasket'. I'm perfectly fine. I laugh at people like you.
Anyone that calls someone chief goes on ignore.
Apology accepted chief
2 very boring men talking about Golf for the first 30 mins of the show last night. They also seem to be on first term names with Rory McIlroy. Rory this, Rory that
To be fair, Rory is just so well known and famous that everyone calls him Rory. They aren't on a first name basis with Tiger Woods but I imagine they would call him Tiger
But its vital to remember some people aren't happy unless they're complaining about something....
Had to unfollow their Twitter account. Absolutely terrible and I feel bad for whichever minion they have running it, forcing them to tweet the same stuff several times a day looking for clicks.
It's standard practice for any media organisation to put out their content more than once/several times to garner as many views/listens as possible. The AM show is made for this very market as it probably doesn't have many listening live.
I don't know many/any that don't do this with social media, so in this regard OTB is no different. It's also possible to schedule tweets to come out across a day without having someone actually doing it at that time so I'd say the minion is just fine.
I did it about a year ago. My whole Twitter feed was just the same clips over and over again from OTBam, awful.
News apps are the same. Certain stories are “bumped” to the top throughout the day.
I’ve a feeling they can’t really win here, the ones complaining about “over coverage” would throw around accusations of burying stories or following some MSM “narrative” if they didn’t. You know how they are.
No other sports show or podcast I follow does it. It smacks of desperation, similar to a Lad Bible or Extra.ie type clickbait site.
They are pushing content they have generated themselves unlike the above and OTB AM has been created for this very purpose. The 138k other followers they have don't seem to mind.
Fair play to the other 138k. Which member of the show are you btw?
Good luck.

Bit weird to get so worked up over them posting a job
