    I taught this was only a summer thing but it looks like it could be for good which is a shame as Friday night is a big build up for the weekends sport.Can anybody confirm if this is on for good now..?

    They play repeats and best ofs from the week preceeding it or the year.

    It was awful during the summer, when the transfer season was in full swing and there wasn't much soccer coverage, because Ken was on a working holiday in South Africa.

    The Friday night football show was great so much to talk about,I listened to this extra show once but its crap especially if you are after been listening all week.

    Off the ball extra is a good idea for maybe late at night but not Friday night.

    Cant listen to it.

    Why it isnt just called the Oisin Langan Show is beyond me, it has nothing in common with OTB except timeslot.

    Working holiday???

    What's that...?? You go to somewhere at someone else's expense because you have a media "profile"??

    Is that how it works??

    Do fill us in.

    The last couple of times I've listened to it, they did fairly in-depth previews of the upcoming weekend action, didn't hear any repeat stuff (though I only heard the first hour & a half or so).

    Does anyone else get the impression that McDevitt wasn't too impressed with the new set up? The first few weeks of the new arrangement, I just thought I detected a lack of enthusiasm in his voice on Thursday evenings when signing off & mentioning the "Extra" show on friday?
