I don't mind Duignan usually but Jesus he was talking some nonsense Monday. He went off on a tangent about how well some Tipp players played when asked directly about if he thought it was a red card and then eventually came back around and said the ref made the right call. It was non-sensical from the start of the pod. At least if he came out and said that Barrett should have been sent off after striking Hogan as well he might have had some sort of a point, however tenuous but instead it was just rambling nonsense.

Just finished there and jesus that was terrible stuff from Duignan, it's all about himself whenever he's on it

Wouldn't be surprised if there was some bit edited out, he was in the middle of a rant and then next thing he's going on about how good the Tipp players were, very quick change in tone and topic

Yeah he was terrible on Monday, basically saying the others didnt know about hurling as they never played in an all Ireland. I'd guess he was on a heavy session with the Offaly lads the night before and wasnt in the best shape. Hopefully thats the end of him on with the lads, always has to get in how he predicted a result at some stage, he makes that many predictions he has to get it right eventually.

All these complaints about that guy on the GAA podcast are almost tempting me to listen to it for once!

I thought I was after skipping forward a minute or two accidentally, there was definitely something cut out, what he was talking about had nothing to do with what he was asked.

New thread drinking game. Read through the whole thread and take a shot everytime Cienciano makes a reference to hating the GAA.

Monday's GAA podcast hummed of alcohol It was like the morning after a stag night in a hotel lobby......and the stags Uncle from Offaly keeps talking in circles (having just woken up on the lobby couch).

Ken seemed awful... giddy in the Monday shows. Usually takes a step back on the GAA ones but he was front and centre in the opening salvos. Definitely seemed like he had a good weekend anyway!

I had a look at the Football Ramble's page on Patreon to see how their venture was going and it doesn't show the amount of Patreons they have. I wonder if the link you have is for Patreons that have published their subscribers.

I was thinking the same thing. It’s ****ing awful.

The Ramble (and the Totally Football Show) moving to a weekly format was surprising to me. I don't listen to either mind.

The Tuesday show with Richie Sadlier was pretty good. He's excellent whenever he makes an appearance.

Obrieski

was in stitches today with Ken wetting himself laughing at the USA crowd code of conduct.
He lost control of himself with laughter at multiple points, was fantastic to listen to....think he even snorted with laughter a couple of times :D

As far as I know it's still on twice a week. They're also added a European football show. I really enjoy their podcasts.

Utopia Parkway

Totally Football and the Football Ramble pretty much put out some kind of podcast every weekday now.

Brock Turnpike

TFS shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as that other muck.

Arghus

The Totally Football Show is great, I still listen to it twice a week. It's a pity about the sponsorship from Paddy Power, but I just skip that.

Haven't listened to Football Weekly since James Richardson left. He was the best thing about it IMO. Is Barry Glendinning still on it?Awful man, a bilious spoofer.

The football ramble lost it years ago. It's been muck for ages.

To be honest, it's worse than paying to sustain it. They're paying for 'perks'. Each to their own but I feel that the perks are fairly self indulgent from the people at the Football Ramble.

$5 per month- Access to our Ramble Discord server; Discord is a messaging service that will give you the opportunity to peek behind the curtain and share in what we do all day every day, as well as give you an opportunity to chat and discuss with fellow Ramble listeners!

$10 per month - A fortnightly vlog from Marcus, giving you the little hairy boy's thoughts on everything from Sven to the magnificent Gorgie boys all the way back to Sven again, with your name included in the credits. A lovely, monthly behind-the-scenes blog delivered directly from us to your inbox.

$20 per month - The chance to submit WhatsApp voice notes to us for possible inclusion in the podcast! Send us your thoughts, comments and rants! Also, an invite to the end of season party!

$100 per month - A 30 minute monthly Q&A with Diggory 'Peter' Donaldson, in which you can ask Japan's estranged son about anything—and everything—your heart desires.Have your lovely voice introduce one episode of ‘Football Ramble Daily.’ VIP admission to our end of season party!

$250 per month - Be the star of your very own episode of ‘Ramble Meets…’, recorded right here in our London studio. The audio will be yours to keep forever and ever (redeemable after three months of this level of patreon-age.) A gripping game of FIFA with your ‘Ramble Meets…’ interviewer! A personal video message just for you from Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete.

Pretty much everything here is to no cost to the Football Ramble. Wow! $100 a month and I get to play a game of FIFA with some lad! A 30 minute chat with Pete Donaldson...fantastic. Like I said, if people want to pay for it fine but there's much better things they could be doing with their money.

I kinda hate all of Murph's "banter"... I'm not anti Murph at all, he can have the funniest comments ever at times but a lot of the time he comes across as smug.

jones

Yeah there's a thin line I think, he's brilliant as supporting act but not as the main event. I always think he rushes any monologues he does too. He's an important member of the team but this Frances Murphy ****e, which was mildly amusing at the start, should not be a weekly event. IMO of course

Say Your Number

Ken describing that Spurs defender throwing the Man City forward out of the way being like Clint Eastewood saving the president in a film is the highlight of the week so far.

Beersmith

It was a great week actually (maybe bar the whole episode on the penalty incident)

Murph was actually funny when he corrected Ken for saying wrongly instead of incorrectly whilst ken was slagging the listener for grammer.

I am not always aware of some random sports on over the weekend so its handy that its mentioned. I'd only be up to speed on the football fixtures so if theres some gaa or rugby on it gives me a handy reminder about it.

Used to listen to the ramble religiously in my younger years but got massively bored of it. Was at a bit of a loose end in work earlier this week and decided to throw it on - theyre literally cracking the same jokes and "banter" they were about ten years ago. Gorgie boys, diggory Donaldson, Pete is so wacky and random etc etc... Fair play to them for trying to monetise it but I hope there are no sad souls out there giving them €250 a month

Yeah used to listen to it fairly regularly but got sick of it a couple years ago. I think it was them constantly breaking their holes laughing at each others jokes that wore me down in the end.

I found that same problem with the 'That Peter Crouch' podcast.

Crouchie would say anything and the two journalist hangers on would break their holes laughing at every sentence. You could feel their desperation to make the podcast work. Not nearly as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

I find Crouch is trying to steal Stephen Merchants comedy style.... Theft !!! At least it looked like that in the mobile phone ad he did....

the Crouch one I just happened upon while on the BBC website. Thought it was going to be a great laugh, but I wouldn't really recommend it to be honest. No insights and no wit (plenty of fake laughing / "bantz" though).

I haven't listened to Football Weekly, but I did read that article when she came out.

Good luck to her, one of the better football journalists.

Yes, probably true I reckon. They probably have mixed race colleagues, shout for a team full of different nationalities etc. but they just use the worst possible insult when they want to abuse someone for missing a peno!
