Second Captains Part II

if people find Dunphy funny then there’s no accounting for taste, but then again I find most “personality pundits” like Roy Keane tedious. But if you think Hes a shrewd judge of football then god help you.

right back to his debut book “only a game” he said his millwall team were full of great players and would walk promotion. The reality proved to be opposite and the player that dunphy wrote off as a showpony was the one that went on to have the best career.

I respect Dunphy coz he played for Ireland but as a pundit he just got by on bluster

people take life too seriously if they’re complaining about Dunphy at the live show. Man talks absolute shite but who cares???

I was there too. Never seen the lads before although had heard many live show interviews over the years. Enjoyed it overall.

GAA not my bag so found the Tipp lads went on a bit long, didn't help they talked in GAA soundbites 'shure lookit ....' , but they were young and probably not all that much experience talking to a room full of podcast fans.

Conor Murray was grand, he was very comfortable talking and he seems like a nice bloke.

I was there for the football and was disappointed when they announced Sneyd, for same reasons as above he's on the pod all the time. I was thinking the next guest better be A grade to balance it out.

When they announced Dunphy the roar was unreal, he swaggered out like a rockstar, glass of vino in hand. He evidently had had a few as he sounded fairly inebriated at the start. But I thought he pulled it back as the evening went on, and as he drank more water. It was a bit of a rambling football chat between them all at that stage, Dunphy was funny and talked a fair bit of bollix, but that's to be expected, it's Eamon Dunphy, baby!

Do you think people paid €50 to sit through the 40 minute Eamon Dunphy interview which they put out on Thursday's podcast? The live show is around 2 hours long, they don't release the full show. They haven't released the Conor Murray interview, or the chat with the Tipp lads. There were a few other segments between and after the interviews, they did Ken-Call a couple of times and took the piss out of Murph's book promotion - reads a bit underwhelming when typed, but you can imagine the SC produced craic in those bits. Arguably that's still not worth €50 to some, which is fair enough.

I wasn't mad keen on Wednesday night's show, so would agree with you in some respects in that I probably wouldn't be pushed going again. I got my ticket as a gift, but couldn't see myself buying one to the next live event anytime soon. That was my third live show of theirs that I've been to, with the other two being much more enjoyable in Liberty Hall.

Bro isn’t doing hyperforeignism on Mac Allister on an Irish podcast is he

“In 1990 there’s three teams from the British Isles”

Cape Verde would have qualified for the World Cup under the old system because they topped their group

He was doing so well and then.. I’ll be sticking to Wilson’s book

I enjoyed the Friday pod.

The pearl clutching over Dunphy is pretty funny

similar to the hero worship of him.

Dunphy is a national treasure. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Neither any good. Watching football analysts for charisma is something people seem to do but I guess I have enough charisma in my life without pining for a guy blaming football managers for far deeper problems that will never even enter the likes of dunphy’s brain.

I don’t find Dunphy interesting. Others obviously do which is fine

"i have enough charisma in my life" - what does that even mean?

I watch football for fun. Dunphy made it more fun. There's no hero worshipping.

why is Dunphy charismatic? Why is he funny? Be specific.

if you go looking for an argument but rely on “oh dont be so serious” then your own argument is weak. If you find Dunphy saying baby at the end of sentences funny then enjoy it. If you think his humor is deeper, then I asked you about that so the floor is yours to tell me.

But you quoted me first, I didn’t ask to hear from you.

If you’re policy was to go and enjoy life then you’d probably go and enjoy life and not quote my posts picking an argument
