    To use a phrase of Ken’s rival, Gary Neville, their content level is “scabby”

    Cheap shot, cheap shot, cheap shot

    George hook needs to be re activated, give him them Rugby “Live from Foxrock” /spend some some of that Patreon cash on a big name

    I really miss Hooky. He always called it quite accurately and was enjoyable to watch/listen to.

    Thought the Tom Parsons interview was very good. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have him on again when the GAA starts up again.

    The joke has been stale for ages at this stage. I'm mystified at his persistence - but whatever keeps a person happy I guess.

    Just such an odd thread to troll.

    "Aha, some people appear to like something over here, now then..."

    Report the posts and if enough of us do it the poster will get get banned

    Ah Jesus that poster isn't doing that much harm as to require being reported


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,758 ✭✭✭Brock Turnpike


    I'd say it's the same poster that was making up stories about Mark Horgan.


  • Registered Users Posts: 862 ✭✭✭unplayable

    Exactly. If the argument that "you don't like the podcast, don't listen" is true, then equally the argument, "you don't like the boards post, ignore it" is also true.

    No need to be going around trying to report and censor people.

    I really miss Hooky. He always called it quite accurately and was enjoyable to watch/listen to.

    Hook was terrible. One of the worst pundits, was funny when Ireland won and he couldn't rant about how terrible we were. Even better when Leinster players scored the trys. Then he would just rant about how bad the opposition were. He found it very hard to give credit to anyone who wasn't munster. I remember he was calling for O'Driscoll to retire one year, Denis Hickey ripped into him a couple of years later after O'driscoll won 2 heinken cups and a grand slam.
    Hook was miserable. Once Tom McGuirk actually asked him "Are you disappointed Ireland won" and he went mental!
    Glad to see him off the TV. And wasn't he one of the reasons the lads left newstalk? They wanted to start an hour earlier? Loads of reasons not to bring that lad back, he had his time

    Poor US Murph sounded very despondent on the Tuesday show. Never heard him so downbeat, really must get to him all the ongoings in Washington


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    You would think for the amount of money that they are making they could do more content then 5 hours a week. Pat Kenny earns less and does 15 hours plus of content.

    Mod note: I am posting this publicly for visability - Your posts have been reported multiple times - Quit grinding the same axe. Trolling/antagonising the board isn't on, next time will result in a ban. Please reconsider your posting style. Cheers

    Thanks to everyone keeping an eye on the thread, apologies for not getting to this sooner. All the best.

    Thought US Murph was excellent the last day - he really nailed the complete ludicrousness of the claims being made by those protesting over the election result.

    Watching clips of Stephen Colbert on Youtube, he has the same tone of exasperation and horror as US Murph, hope Ken covers it in a politics pod.

    If you haven't listened to yesterday's pod, they've announced that pateon payments can now be processed in euro and sterling as well as dollar. They said that if you're in euro country it's better for you and them to switch currency. So switch and help.

    Details: https://www.secondcaptains.com/2020/11/04/euro/

    Edit: quick check in Revolut history shows that this is going to be slightly more expensive now (by like 20c), but I assume if you're paying from regular bank account it's cheaper. Plus it'll save the lads conversion costs...

    Ken laughing at that Rashford article was gold.

    Don't worry, the usual suspects will complain either way

    Hugely moving pod. Massive respect to Fionn for telling his story. It really makes it all real when you hear the story first hand. Horrific stuff

    Surprised that they didn't crack a "those boys never go home" joke about the oddness of the hours that the FAI statements come out.
    That's what happens when Murph's not there.

    I was thinking that the other day listening to one of the other ones.

    They're a brilliant team, but each of them is outstanding at what they do individually.


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Running Balance


    Still no Murph on today's show..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,438 ✭✭✭Still Ill


    Still no Murph on today's show..

    So what are we thinking, guys? Some sort or Horgan-esque cover up going on? Any Murph truthers about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,674 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Still no Murph on today's show..

    Probably on holidays or something. What's the big deal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭RedRochey


    Love how Ken barely pays attention to when he Eoin is talking, asking if it's the Superbowl after Eoin named out 4 teams :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,516 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Anyone know what the story is with the free feed? Today's (and last Friday's taster) show up on secondcaptains.com but not on Feedburner or iTunes.

    Scrap the cap!

    It's not on Podcast Republic either. On Spotify though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,516 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Wasn't showing up on Soundcloud either, but it did show up on the podcast app on my laptop (which uses the Soundcloud URL, weird)

    Had to unsubscribe and resubscribe on my phone to get it to work.

    Some people on Twitter saying they couldn't get it to work on their iPhones, tried it on my work iPhone and not working...

    Scrap the cap!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭Did you smash it


    Hope for fans of Utd and Liverpool as Dion Fanning having declared a month ago that city were not in the title race on second captains, declares that city have the title as good as won on the totally football pod.

    From RTE:
    Leicester City 2-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea looked anything but. It's their fourth away defeat in five. Frank Lampard didn't wait long before darting down the tunnel and out of the spotlight.

    Going to be funny tomorrow

    I’m not looking forward to it myself. I’m honestly sick of this obsession over Lampard. And the SC aren’t the only ones guilty of it. Football Weekly is the same. Jonathan Wilson is the English version of Early in this regard. Tenner says he’ll be on the pod tomorrow! By all means criticise Lampard, but just stop spending so much time doing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,310 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I hope they get Wilson on and spend the full hour ripping into Lampard. Then I'll listen to GFW to hear the same stuff. Inject it into my veins :pac:

    I did like the chick talk yesterday but in fairness what lampard was talking about in that interview was experience in the premier league.

    Also, I hate when US Murph talks about any back up player coming in the NFL. He did admit it a bit at the end but these are highly trained/skilled/paid backups and prepare exactly for these scenarios. He always makes it sounds like they pick the replacement from the stands.


  • Registered Users Posts: 862 ✭✭✭unplayable


    Crying at Ken singing here hahahah

    Even with the 32 starting QBs, there is a huge difference in quality from the best to the worst. Mahomes is arguably the best in the league and you are going to a guy that has more interceptions than touchdowns. He is 35 years old and Mahomes already has more TDs than him. He has played less than 10 games in the last 7 years. Completed around 70 passes in those games. It's really not understating it.

    Is it not somewhat comparative to a back up goalkeeper/third choice goalkeeper? Admittedly those goalkeepers would be playing reserve/u23 football, so I'm not sure if NFL teams have similar.

    Due to the salary cap in the NFL, the demand for top quality QBs and the fact that they're the highest paid position you'd be surprised at how bad a back-up can be. Certainly there's a huge disparity between Mahomes and anyone who'd be willing to be a back-up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,344 ✭✭✭buyer95


    'Murph, who will be bac next week by the way.' That's that.

    Also have to say, I was having a shiity day today and headed for walk awhile ago to clear my head. Earbuds in, and 5 mins into the podcast I am literally bent over laughing at Ken and his church hymn singing. Its for moments like that that I subscribe.

    Okay....I will accept the Lampard bashing today solely for Ken's beautiful singing. So fcuking funny.

    I'm also glad that "Daddy Cock" hasn't gone unnoticed!

    The Aussie guest on today was also funny and very likeable.

    I loved that Eoin seemed completely confused and surprised too.
