Second Captains Part II

Not sure if you are serious or not.

No GAA semi’s preview, and particularly no EURO’s Final preview is a bit strange… hope everything’s ok with the lads.

Perfect weekend completed

Same, I kind of thought it odd Eoin would take holidays when the euros were at the business end.

I'm jacking in the pod sub for a while. SC is badly in need of a refresh of some sort, you can hear it in the lads voices at this stage, I think that they are all a bit fed up. Same auld tired contributors (shoutey Delaney again today FFS), tedious audiobeds etc. The OTT negativity from Ken and that insufferable hipster Branno in particular around the Ireland job finally did it for me. I may check in again mid-way through next season to see if anything has changed, but life is too short to pay to be annoyed by a football podcast!

It's a lot to do with the crap Euros/soccer in general. If you'd told me a few years back there's be a summer tournament during which I would only listen to a tiny handful of the Guardian or Totally Football daily pods, I would've said you're mad.

Could be a range of factors but i checked out of the last two months of the Premier League season and wasn't excited about the euros but it grew on me. Actually went back to the guardian after a couple of years away as the tournament progressed.

There's too much football for sure and that affects everyone involved, players, media, fans. No harm in taking a break from it and seeing if it's worth coming back to, it'll survive.

If it wasn't for Ken I wouldn't even listen to the free pods.

Carsley is second favourite.

Listening to UK-based football podcasts, they all seem to scoff at the idea of Lee Carsley getting the job as if he is a total nobody.

Kind of surprised they didn’t give some reasoning for not doing any previews ahead of last weekend. Did they just forget?

I liked it, listened to a lot the night they were released. Ken calling from the stadium gave a nice atmosphere too.

I still miss the travel logs of Ken during the WC in Russia 2018. That really was peak Ken.

All sport can be dismissed with a similar comment. :) Its all meaningless rubbish just to pass the time.

I mean, no, golf is first among equals on that front.

The amount of good land that could be used for other purposes wasted on the vanishingly few who play it seriously is remarkable and not something replicated in other sports. The amount of instances of golf clubs working actively against the common good in their communities are so numerous that the only thing that can be done is point you towards Google if you don’t believe me.
