The Stand With Eamon Dunphy

From their Facebook page:

We've had a number of questions from listeners about our football coverage. Because John, Liam and Didi are not available to us on a regular basis we've decided to no longer do the weekly Premier League review. We will, however, from time to time cover big football stories. The lads have been brilliant over the years and are simply irreplaceable.

Hope so. I saw a clip of him from newtalk recently and he looked fine but he may not be able to keep up with the weekly premiership games and all the players anymore. With city dominating and ireland not going well Eamon might not be bothered anyway.

Agree with above. Annoyed me how he said it's a better system now than in the past, because people can log in at 9am with their credit card at the ready. Dynamic pricing means those willing to pay extortionate prices have a better chance. What he doesn't understand is that it stops people showing commitment in other ways. For a lot of people commitment or love of something doesn't always have to equate to how much you're willing to pay. It could be someone is instead willing to queue up overnight to get a ticket.

Absolute tyre kicker

(Probably agreed the questions in advance and had prepped answers)

Are you saying that Dunphy bares responsibility for Trump getting shot at? And then you start going on about Jews and worrying about getting classed as hate speech?

Just listened to the episode with Peter Oborne. I don't know much about him but he came across like a raving lunatic. I'd say he's the kind of liberal who celebrates every kid dying in Gaza because it's more ammunition he can throw at the right.

Even Dunphy was a bit taken aback I think.

Oborne used to be a respected centre-right journalist but he went off the reservation years ago. He’s a crackpot conspiracy theorist now and it doesn’t reflect well on Dunphy that he thinks he’s worth getting him on his podcast

Enjoyed his chat last week with Mick Clifford discussing his new book about the disappearance of Una Lyndsey . Hadn't heard the story but it's another sad indictment of corrupt policing and it's horrifying affects on communities

Fair play to Eamon he's bashing them out good and steady now. Good guest too.

Yeah was quite struck also by how strongly he came in on that. I hadn't seen or heard any coverage on the gambling bill elsewhere

I haven't listened to the two latest episodes (football powers and Russia) but looking forward to those topics.

Not sure if it's worth covering British politics when there are no major events going on. Suddenly dawned on me during the latest Chris Johns episode - why am I listening to a run of the mill British politics podcast?

Chris Johns grates. Too big for his boots. Long over him.

True.

Unfortunately the poor guy has a very disinterested style of speaking.

Seemed fairly downcast today understandably. Must be fuming in private after all the talk over the last few years
