Yeah.. There was a message from him at the end of today's pod for their 500th show. Didn't sound like him though! You'd miss him on it. He's so good. Really makes the show.

Ol' Donie · 18-06-2021 11:41pm

Ah for flip sake.

Are we not gonna hear Ken's thought's on England & Scotland til bleedin Monday?

thenightman · 18-06-2021 11:54pm

Were they doing weekend shows during the 2018 WC? I honestly cannot remember.

Dont think they've ever done wkd shows

Say Your Number · 19-06-2021 12:15am

There wasn't any in 2018, I remember because there was pages of whinging about it at the time.

EltonJohn69 · 19-06-2021 12:34am

There was definitely weekend shows at some point… or maybe it was Newstalk days… either way yeah by Monday the England Scotland story is as stale bucket of fish in the sun

atilladehun · 19-06-2021 3:31am

The power wielded by this thread this week has been on a level with lord of the rings.

Now is the time to strongarm them to our will. We will find a way to hear Ken's thoughts on football soon after it happened 7 days a week.

Now is not the time to lose our perspective on reality. ðŸ˜œ

Say Your Number · 19-06-2021 3:43am

I did like how amused Jonathan Wilson was by the story of a lone English journalist booing David Seaman through the mixed zone.

Beersmith · 19-06-2021 8:43am

Especially poor form seeing as they are all now doing the pod from home so not much excuse for a small 30min show for the first two weekends when there are so many games.

Dante · 19-06-2021 9:04am

Surely I'm not the only one who feels its time for Ken to start doing daily travel logs of his expeditions around Fairview. It would be like a modern day Ulysses.

lawred2 · 19-06-2021 9:24am

I've always enjoyed Marcotti

The only person I never liked listening to was Graham Hunter. Thankfully he's not on second captains.

Poor form. They shouldn't have a weekend off. We want our pods, forget about their lives, right?

The second captains have gone soft/always on The treatment table… a few weekend micro podcasts are required.

Me too. I even subscribe to ESPN's Gab and Juls podcast. On the other hand, I finally gave up on Rushden and Glendenning on Football Weekly - unbearable stuff.

How does every other sports pod manage to work on the weekend?

I'm fairly sure if one the lads murdered someone you'd be on here defending them. "well you know they shouldn't have locked their bike to kens, he was perfectly within his rights to kill that man"

Oh my God this forum. What happened to it? I'll tell ya what happened to it. Dublin happened to it.

Dramatic much? Its a major tournament with just a few weekends involved. Do you understand that a lot of the population work weekends and even such a thing as overtime. They can do whatever they want but surely we are allowed comment on disappointment regarding something we are paying for.

Arghus · 19-06-2021 5:59pm

It would be great to have some content on the Saturdays and Sundays from the lads, even them talking amongst themselves - it is a bit lame that they don't do it - but, sure, lookit there's bigger things to get really worked about.

It's easier for big media organisations to produce a daily, including weekends, show and even totally football is bankrolled by Paddy Power.

Was it the last World Cup when Football Weekly finished with Barry reading any aul bollix in his Irish accent and they all seemed to think that was gas?

I didn't listen to it for quite a while after that.

(I am listening to the daily ones now, mind you).

lawred2 · 20-06-2021 11:19am

I never understood the interest in FW. Everyone just seemed smug to me.

I see Richie might be in a bit of hot water. Hopefully it won't affect his appearances on the podcast.

He’s full of hot air a lot of the time but hopefully nobody succeeds in getting him ‘cancelled’.

What happened ???

Say Your Number · 20-06-2021 7:54pm

It seems to the type of lads that go on about how "woke" everything is nowadays responding to him with the 'Only apologising now?' comments.

He said the same thing everyone else said about that school in Carlow last year. Now, because he’s apologised (they’re proven in the clear) he’s getting it in the neck.

humberklog · 20-06-2021 7:57pm

What did he do/say?

I've looked online but only a fairly firm apology from him. For something.

You’d like to think not hopefully, though the usuals will give it a lash anyway.

Nah, it's a storm in a social media bubble.

Raoul · 20-06-2021 9:29pm

At least he is apologizing but at the same time...his comments were pretty crass and totally unprofessional of him as a journalist.

Dante · 20-06-2021 10:09pm

Seems like storm in a teacup stuff really. Then again, I have neved used Twitter so I find it hard to take these sorts of tweet-gate controversies seriously.

Loafing Oaf · 20-06-2021 11:16pm

My contribution to it was unforgivable, Ill-judged and reckless.

:eek:

That sounds like a confession from a Maoist 'struggle session'.

Judging by what he's said after the Press Ombudsman and Press Council of Ireland made statements, he's treating the matter fairly seriously at least.

Arghus · 20-06-2021 11:52pm

I don't think he'll get "cancelled" over that and he has apologised, though he doesn't look too clever after it. Far from the only one mind.

The whole story and the way it played out gives you an insight to how the snowball and bandwagon effect works in the media, particularly in relation to twitter. Somebody posts something outrageous, based on hearsay and made up shyte - everyone starts commentating and has to be seen talking and passing judgement, making sure to get their opinion in before the moment passes - no-one, even the ostensibly respectable and responsible, bothers to stop for a second and wonder this actually quite daft and unlikely sounding story is in actual fact true.

Fuk dat, the main thing is to get all opinionated all over the place. Get those retweets and a bit of righteousness going.

Brackwom · 21-06-2021 5:20am

This is so amazing. I enjoyed it.

Salvation Tambourine · 21-06-2021 9:12am

He's one of the few to apologise so he'll get some credit from people. He won't be as quick to do the same again I'd imagine which is a good thing.

mcgucc22 · 21-06-2021 9:58am

Richie is not getting ‘cancelled’, whatever that means. He is deservedly getting a bit of push back for waiting 8 months to apologise for what was obviously a non story and bunch of lies from the start. But at least he has apologised, unlike the dozens of other journalists and Twitter warriors who nearly ruined the lives of some innocent people.

Ah, I love FW. Bar a few guests, I don't find any of them smug at all. It's largely a very fun podcast, with some great guests (Wilson and Brewin, SC folk now familiar with, and then you have Ronay, Bandini, etc). Max in particular is very down to earth and has become a great host. Maybe too many "inside" jokes if you're new to it, that's all. Also, love that this thread picked up on Wilson texting Ken, on one the FW pods!

And it's all completely unjustified. Murph is an essential part of what makes Second Captains my go to podcast. His understanding of the GAA as a whole and the fact he played at a decent level with his club and now plays junior b or whatever really shines through. He is great yang to the Dublin centric vibe. I love Ken also, but I think if it was just Ken and Eoin all the time I would grow weary. I know he hams it up at times but he genuinely does have that country bumpkin air to him. Long and short, they all bring something different and they are all great. Be thankful we aren't stuck listening to Gilroy or Woolie or other 'bantz' merchants

Yeah those lispy smart-alec interjections are worth the fiver on their own.

"I had been hit in the balls with a golf ball"

Murph with a Ken-esque story.
Second Captains lads cannot go on holidays without some incident!

Is FW not James Richardson and Barry Glendenning? The few episodes I listened to a few years back really ground on me.

It used to be, must be 4+ years ago I'd guess since Richardson left. It was Iain McIntosh who poached him and a few of the regular contributors to start up Totally Football Show. They were taken over by The Athletic a while back as well and are now part of their network.

FW has been hosted by Max Rushden ever since. Glendenning, Sid Lowe, Jonathon Wilson and most of The Guardian journalists contribute regularly.

I'd give that title to Jacob Steinberg to be honest.

Jack Pitt Brooke is great, but he does the reporting on Spurs and the stories from there been repetitive and just uninteresting to me
