Dunno if it's for me but the article he did about him doing goalkeeper and just about not making a complete hames of it was a laugh.
Bought tickets for the Stadium show fwiw... dunno what the other half will make of it (let's hope DoD will be a warm up act, been feeding her the 'are you going to do your tripod' lines for a good while now)
They've been like that for a while now.
I really enjoyed Murph's book. It's really well written, he's very honest and does a very good job portraying what its like being part of the GAA.
There's this diary part towards the end of the book which is brilliant.

they've obviously moved to a 4day week at second captains
Ken's response today to Eamon was very underwhelming.
I don't think I've ever criticized Ken for anything before, but I kinda wish he'd ease off using Twitter posts for content on the podcast. Not so much in relation to the Salah story, just in general.
I'm sure ken could reply with audio of Eamon calling Ronaldo a clown while he was scoring 40 goals a season, winning the champions league and european player of the year for united. But he knows Eamon is looking for a reaction, so he won't.
Still plenty of tickets for the live event. I was going to buy 3 tickets, but when €132 comes up on the checkout page, it does seem expensive for what it is.
I think I understand the purpose of the Episode series and why they rebranded it from the players chair. Footballers or sportsmen are just not introspective or articulate enough to suit the format so they’ve expanded it to all people from all backgrounds and life origins.
I still remember how excruciating it was when Richie tried to get shay given to expand upon why his mothers death wasn’t very emotional and the family just got on with things and Richie meeting a brick wall.
the Tommy tiernan interview was good, Richie didn’t have to work too hard to make that happen.
That's a bit of a U-turn on his previous opinion of Ken. Not that that'd be unlike Eamon alright.
Like his mate, I don't think Dunphy would necessarily agree with anything Ken writes about football.
Yeah, I believe he was referring to Ken.
Was Dunphy referring to Ken in his latest pod when he referenced a 'clown' who wrote an article saying Bazunu is statistically the worst keeper in Europe?
Yeah exactly.
I presume they are all in on it. Sure they are laughing their heads off.
Have you heard the other pundits?
In fairness to the NZ guys, good on them for having Burly as their "touch stone" for Ireland rugby.
How does he keep getting invited in these shows to talk about rugby?!
Ken Burley. Radio gold.
You reckon they turn down anything that goes beyond flights or accommodation for guests? That seems unlikely
and O’Hara’s beer
10/10 by Dorce (plus Thornley) in today’s IT.
A quick search says the olympia is 1200 seating capacity and the national stadium is 2000. So won't be too difficult to get tickets.
That's usually aer lingus or maldron, so probably just covers flight and accommodation charges for guests...
Ken was totally nonchalant on grunge week until Kerbdog was selected by Branno. Then he is all talk about his first gig & crowd surfing as a teenager
Anyone got a link for the Episode pod?
The have sponsors for the live shows as well don’t they?
Pity they don't go outside Dublin for these shows. Dublin is too much of a trek
Also, great tune today on Grunge week, haven't heard Sally in years
Yeah I thought it was a little racey in price as I wanted 2 tickets so didn't buy.
I'd love to go so if anyone wants to bring a 53y.o, bald, tipsy, bore as a +1 do PM me.
But putting out nearly €100 was a little too rich for myself this week. Unfortunately.
Pricey alright. Suppose they are covering the cost of a bigger venue? Still better value than €10 a month for OTB.
Eoin has another mouth to feed
