Never a huge fan of Flynn but he worked well with McConville as they werent mates and would argue a point out. Not sure its great having 2 pundits who are obviously good friends on together while Murph and Eoin just sound delighted to have MM on the show
That's my worry as well. Who's going to tell Flynn that he's talking "a load of bollox" now?
Murphy is already involved with the BBC’s football coverage as an analyst far as I know
Ten years since they left Newstalk today, honestly doesn't feel like that long ago.
Do you think the show is better pre or post newstalk departure ?
I listen to a lot more second captains than I did off the ball. Having said that, the live aspect of radio is something they the second captains do miss out on, both from a live listener interaction point of view and reacting to live events.
One thing I miss is the reaction to text messages and weird tangents they'd go on because of them.
Wish they had more historical and niche pieces like they used to have, it's good content for the most part now but it's a bit predictable.
I suspect we’ll be hearing less from Murph about his Man Utd fandom over the next few days
Do you remember the 2 years of covid that lasted about 6 years - 😂
Credit to the lads for taking the punt and going out on their own, fair to say it's been a huge success. Like others have said, it doesn't feel like ten years.
There's only two podcasts that I never miss an episode of and Second Captains is one of them, well worth the small fee each month.
Considering trying to tickets to the Live show in Sep. Never been, are they any good?
Could have sworn Eoin is a United fan too? Maybe they decided it was enough to have one active Utd fan on the show.
Yeah, it's usually a good night out.
Got online around 10:04 and looks like it's already sold out?
I was online from 9:50 onwards and it looks like they never went on sale as I kept getting "We couldn’t find the tickets you searched for".
He is, just in the closet for the sake of an easier life in media
When the email came in earlier this morning, I clicked on the link to ticketmaster it looked like there was a "3 presale" already started since yesterday. Maybe I misread it, but bit **** if 3 customers were able to purchase earlier
You would hope they might put on one more night at least, judging by the comments on patreon a lot of people missed out.
Is this actually true or is this another Mark Horgan-type rumour?
I wonder if there was a limit on how many tickets an individual could buy
I mean if people are passing the link on they are arseholes. Let's not beat about the bush.
I'd love to hear a detailed discussion on what lead up to them resigning and then the first 6 months afterwards. They touched on it on todays POD, but very lightly.
Is it covered in detail anywhere?
No way, that's crazy. I was on and there was a countdown to 10am. I refreshed about 30 seconds before it got to zero and I was able to buy.
Well, I think with the litigious DOB involved, you'll never hear the details until he's dead and buried
Thought he was a Palace fan...
That was my impression too, although I can’t remember why. But he’s the straight man so has to keep it under wraps.
Pretty sure Simon is a Liverpool fan. I have no idea who Ken supports, if anyone - maybe he’s just a fan of the concept of football
From the newstalk days it wasn't as under wraps. Eoin & Murph are United fans and Ken & (I think) Simon are Liverpool fans. Or at least they were.
Eoin talks about being an man u fan loads. Its not hidden at all. Just Murph it has been enhanced on air recently for some reason
Ken is a pool fan , his brother in law told me.
Ken said on another podcast( I think it was the Irishman abroad) that he won’t reveal what team supports on air (it is Liverpool) but will if asked in public.
I was refreshing and refreshing with the patreon presale and tickets were gone by 10:03am. Then I remembered the 3 presale thing and chanced my arm with that code about 12:30pm and got tickets. I'd say with this sort of demand they might add a second night if Olympia isn't booked the 15th.
