The Stand With Eamon Dunphy

Listened last night to Mick Clifford, very good. If anyone finds him on usual podcasting services rather than just soundcloud, please shout. Would like to add to pocket casts

Just did a search on Stitcher and came here to pose the same question :pac:

The Irish Examiner seem to be good at publishing podcasts generally so hopefully it's rolled out everywhere soon

I’m liking the Bertie Ahern podcasts. Bertie comes across as very knowledgeable about what’s going on

I know, I know, he has his past but anyway I think he’s a good contributor and comes across well

The fawning is a bit much “most gifted politician of his generation bla bla” but to be expected when Dunphy is interviewing anyone

I'd agree with you there, he makes a number of points and observations you dont here anywhere else, and like him or not (I don't) he has the experience and background to talk with authority. Hes a very good contributor to this debate, one of Dunphy's best.

Agree with you on the fawning too, its way over the top.

Yeah dunphy fawns over his guests a bit too much. Reminds me of jarlath Regan.

Bertie is great. No waffle. Knows what needs to be done to get the job done re Brexit and calls out poor performance even he sees it. His critique of Theresa may a few months ago was on point

Is brexit boy still a regular on the podcast?

Cool, thanks. I must give it a listen. A new episode was released about an hour ago

Yep. He had a podcast Wednesday

I also see RTÉ Sean O’Rourke show are starting to use him too

Was also on I believe Miriam O'Callaghan and Ivan Yates. Regular on Sky News. Has managed to build himself a bit of a profile around Brexit.

Still Ill · 13-09-2019 10:05pm

Ugh... How?

The first few minutes of the last podcast with him were eyerollingly bad. Took great pleasure towards the end when he conceded that Brexit may never happen. One time! Remain! Please!

humberklog · 15-09-2019 3:13pm

I enjoy Chris Johns (Irish Times, Econimist). But have to laugh at Eamon slagging off other econmists for being chancers and yet he previously had Jim Power on as a guest.

steve_r · 19-09-2019 8:21am

Good conversation with Mick Clifford on building regulations and how that impacted on the likes of Priory Hall, Longboat quay etc

Eamo lets Mick lead the chat so it's a good listen - Eamon throws in a small jab at Newstalk towards the end.

They talk at the end about Mick's new podcast and it sounds fairly amicable. Hopefully Mick will still be on the podcast occasionally.

Really enjoy Neil Francis' rugby coverage. He has a slow speaking style that takes getting used to but his insight is always enlightening for the casual fan like myself.

Aidric · 21-09-2019 9:53pm

The quality of interviews varies wildly. Dunphy switches between phoning it in and genuinely engaging to an annoying degree.

That interview with David Goldblatt was nails on the blackboard stuff. All the more surprising given the subject matter. His line of questioning sounded like someone who did a google search 10 minutes before the interview.

Goldblatt is an authority on the game and Dunphy sounded like a nervous transition year student, a completely wasted interview.

Contrast Dunphy's interview with the Second Captains interview with the same interviewee and it becomes embarrassing for Eamo.

Very interesting insight into the role of the UK Parliament vs. Irish Parliament in the recent Brexit special. Sovereignty lies with Irish people, sovereignty lies with British Parliament. Didn't know that. The no deal talk is even more ridiculous if the referendum only has an advisory place in their constitution as was suggested in the episode.

omerin · 01-10-2019 8:16pm

Brendan O' Neil put his foot in it again in today's episode, even Eamo was shocked :eek:

We need more variety, would love to have Robert Fisk, Mick Clifford and Hooky as regular contributors, maybe once a month. I've stopped listening to the Prem episodes, Chippy seems to have disappeared and the Kaiser is in a spot of bother at the mo, so they might be replaced. I avoid the episodes with the freight rep. Frano is enjoyable, good to give him more time then he gets on the LW.
Generally a good podcast overall. I can't see Eamo making money from this, even though costs must be low, so hope it continues if and when the sponsorship runs out. I can't see me paying for any podcasts, ever, there is too much free content out there, so I don't think this is a model that is worthwhile in an Irish context - aware of SC and David McWilliams but I don't this it is sustainable

I've also completely stopped listening to the football one. The description for yesterday's show was something along the lines of: "Eamon and John argue over Pep" - read that and just deleted that particular show. No time for listening to that same crap narrative each podcast.

Haven't listened to O'Neill yet but he is tiresome.

I don't mind Verona Murphy ("freight rep" :pac:) but like O'Neill, seems to push her own agenda rather than the bigger picture. However, good to get an insight into the goings on at the coalface and she seems very knowledgeable.

I subscribe and pay for SC - their variety is good and podcasts in the main are worth listening to.

You missed John calling Mané Sané 53 times. Also, Eamon is still skeptical about Pep defensively.

humberklog · 07-10-2019 2:50pm

That Eamon McCann fella isn't fit for audio broadcast. That's not a comnentary on his thoughts but simply his voice.

He has this habit of saying aaaaayyyye when he's thinking of what to say and how to phrase it and as he always wants to come across as an eloquent clever clogs this Aaaaayyye sound (to my ears) drowns out anything he has to say.

I would like to hear some other Norn commentator's opinions on his show. Newton Enerson, Eamon Mallie or some such.

In the latest pod on the rugby, Eamo ponders the effect of Bundee ALI's red card

Agreed. Seems fashionable to criticise "Franno" but I think that he's ok on The Stand.
As Eamo says (probably prompted by Francis) some of the headlines in the Indo are not concocted by him but by editors for effect.

Mind you Francis did let himself down there recently on The Stand when he was saying that he knew the Japan coach Joeseph years ago and that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I think that he (Joeseph) comes across well and obviously he is spot on with Japan's smart play so far.

humberklog · 16-10-2019 9:02pm

Nicola Talant was on today with an interesting piece about DCC knowing that protection money was being paid to keep their sites safe.

Problem with Nicola though is her "facts" are often quite askew. She mentioned a headshop on South William St. being burnt down a few year ago and a million quid being found in a safe on the premises.

The fire was on Capel St. There was 480k in a safe on the premises. Jim Bellamy the owner asked the fire brigade on the day to enter the premises and gave them the keys to the safe.

They might not be big errors (I think they are) but it would leave me wary of of most things she says.

Blanchguy · 17-10-2019 9:53am

Dunphy and Tallant are always full of praise for the guards. Never queried why none of the builders/DCC went to the guards, or if they did, what happened.

Obrieski · 18-10-2019 2:34pm

Niall Stanage continually proving his place as the best contributor to the podcast.

I wish Eamon would ask him more questions.
He mentioned that there were some other Democratic candidates who performed well in the most recent debates but then never went into any questions about it.

Mr. Arkadin · 18-10-2019 3:12pm

Dunphy's bizarre hard-on for Bertie Ahern continues.

"It was like talking about football with Lionel Messi".

Jesus.

Aside from that nonsense from Dunphy I thought it was an excellent analysis of the present situation by Bertie.

mikemac2 · 18-10-2019 5:38pm

John Giles is well past it

Last week he said never ever, ever in his career as a manager would he set a lineup on a "wing and a prayer" and try something unknown.

This week he was advocating to include a player from Shamrock Rovers and he believed it was a "wing and a prayer" but sure take a chance. Pure contradiction

He is very good in the historical podcasts like Jack Charlton at Leeds but I cannot listen to him anymore for modern day.

Was thinking it'd be interesting to get Verona Murphys take on this business in Essex, but discovered she has joined FG.

The end of her on the podcast?

dr.kenneth noisewater · 02-11-2019 9:03pm

Eamo sounded completely overawed interviewing Robert Fisk, voice was very shaky at start, rambling questions and jumping around different times/points with each question. Interesting listen all the same which was more to do with Fisk than anything Dunphy did

Blanco100 · 03-11-2019 1:02pm

Someone needs to tell Giles how to say Pochettino.

Says Pota Chino every single time, drives me mad ha!

Ash.J.Williams · 03-11-2019 1:03pm

I enjoy the podcast, but an unexpected effect is if I listen at night I fall asleep in seconds.

Phew... I thought it was just me that was driven demented by that! He also needs to stop calling Mané Sané.

He's like a broken record these days.. I could almost fill in for Giles at this stage and be confident of giving the exact same answers as him.

Fisk is always interesting but Eamo does brown nose him to an unbearable degree.

Ursus Horribilis · 10-11-2019 11:36pm

I enjoy the podcast almost without Eamonn if that makes sense. He definitely overdoes the brown-nosing at times and he can sound a bit shambolic. Yet, many of those interviews still make for compelling listening.

Niall Stanage is just about tolerating him of late.

His fake chuckling at Eamonn's pronouncements is really noticeable recently.

Fisk has a way of making people feel inferior and I dont mean in a good way. Hes incredibly knowledgeable and articulate but he doesnt half let you know it.

He's on Pat Kenny regularly enough. They also have their podcasts archived so you should be able to find a few.

*Edit; He's got 22 up on the Newstalk site.

I don't think he was overawed, he has a long standing relationship with Fisk going back to the days when he presented The Last Word. Fisk is an authority on the Middle East and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Dunphy fell in to the trap of baiting Fisk with populist views and was rightly called out.

Overall it was an educational interview, as all interviews with Fisk are.

Despite her tough gung-ho appearance and attitude she has now been shown-up to be extremely weak when push comes to shove by caving in to the vested interests and apologising for something she really believed in.
Something Peter Casey refused point blank to do and fair play to him.
