Christ, that Flynn / Murphy segment was boring! You're in College for **** sake. Not like having a real job or trying to raise a family.
They need a US Murph version for LOI I think. Someone that is knowledgeable and entertaining. Like others, I would like to be more involved and will be going to some matches this season but the current offering isn't hitting the spot. Yet.
Happy to see them looking like they’ll cover the LOI more although I hope it manifests itself in Ken and Eoin attending games and able to provide their own takes. Right now I think that’s the main problem.
LOI weekly done by Dan McDonnell and Johnny ward is my Favourite podcast and is what got me into the league.
just if you want to increase your knowledge they have interesting debates and insight. Between the stripes seems solid as well but only listened to one show
Ah Johnny annoys me but I have to admit he’s real, he’s not pretending to be anyone else. Johnny’s Childlike enthusiasm and Dan’s parental ultra realism makes for good chemistry. Hope they go twice a week eventually.
Was anyone at the live football show at Christmas with Joey N'doh? Boys mentioned he was so over the top with stuff he pissed off the other guests and they never aired the content. Anyone any clue what happened at it!?
Johnny Ward is an absolute buffoon.
McDonnell is good, although I find him a bit bland/serious when he's in air, he's better in print.
It's strange it seems to be so difficult to find decent LOI contributors. Surely there is a decent ex-player or two that could offer decent insight?
Always found Dan McDonnell excellent for LOI and ROI stuff , he's the best football contributor on OTB by a country mile, pity he wasn't brought over to Second Captains
That's what I like about Dan, on OTB a lot of them try too hard to be funny or opinionated(Nathan Murphy being a prime example) , Dan calls it like it is.
I like Dan too. He doesn't try to be one of the lads. Same with Johnny too, he annoys me and is a bit of an idiot but I guess in some ways that is good too. He is just being himself.
The "Dublin happened to it" audiobed is an actual piece of art.
Love it. The music underneath it - I feel like it's from a movie, anyone know which one?
Taxi Driver
Ken was a fool to leave an unlocked bike outside…..
Cheap shot!!
Poor fella blithely believed he lived in a civilised city.
Was glad to hear Ken's take on the Netflix golf show - I was exactly the same. Couldn't get through the first episode. Absolutely turgid.
As the lads said it was by far the worst episode, I'd recommend the Brook Koepka and Dahman episodes and you don't need to watch them all to follow it
On the subject of sports doc series - been watching Make Or Break on AppleTV+, really enjoyable surfing series following the challengers for the world title. Some incredible surfing cinematography as well.
Would love the lads to do a few more deep dive episodes into some random interesting sports story, away from the usual popular sports. Feels like they've done a bit less of that over the past while. We had one on chess a few months ago, but that's about all I can remember.
That was my main note on the survey, more hot takes on niche sports and random sports stories of the day.
They done on one surfing a few years ago. I think one of them is actually into it.
I think Ruaidhri O'Connor is a strong addition to the rugby chats. Puts the goings on of rugby in a broader context without getting too far into the "technical" weeds and manages to do so without being a complete shill like Gerry Thornley.
Yeah he’s very good. I like Thornley but his constant moaning about refs being biased against Ireland is boring
Enjoyed Miguel on today's episode although he did kinda dominate the air time. He hasn't been on as frequently since the world cup so have a bit more appreciation for his contributions when he is on.
Yeah, Transworld sport on the pod would be great.
Careful now, you might trigger the anti-Miguel brigade with that talk.
I'm afraid we were wrong this week's was worse.
Talking about the 2011 season and scoring zones was pointless IMO. Haven't heard enough about dublins peak at this stage?
Eoin will be happy with Big Wout's performance in the match tonight... another selfless contribution for the team 😀
I would find being punched in the face more appealing than listening to those two talk about Dublin vs Donegal games from years gone by.
GAA pods for me are basically just Intro and outro these days.
I wonder will they ever release the feedback they received in the survey.
Hopefully McConville will realise management isn't for him and will make a return. Was fairly dull stuff today
Dunno lads.
I'll have to disagree, I thought the two recent gaelic football pocasts were very enjoayble.
And I'll tell you what else, I though Miguel Delaney was pretty good the other day too.
I think it was designed as a way to ease Murphy into being a pundit. Talk about something easy, a history that he shared with Flynn. They've done it 2 weeks in a row though. So hopefully the deliberate planned trips down memory lane are coming to an end.
It's time to hear if he's any good at analysing current games/teams.
