Second Captains

I for one and happy to see the return of Murphs Country Pages.

I read that daily mail article and left feeling outraged.

I haven't listened to the football episode today, but I am presuming that the majority of it is about Troy Parrott? I'm getting a bit bored by the lads constantly talking about him.

Arghus

I think they give a bit too much time to the tales of Troy. He is only 18, just gone.

He's mentioned in it as you would expect these days, but there's lots of variety today between Dier, Barca, Steven Gerrard, Mbappe etc.

and Achilles dragging Hectors dead body around whilst Peter O'Toole watched on.

Eoin was superb in his derision of Gerard. More of that lads, class.

dr.kenneth noisewater

The lads were in great form on todays pod, gave me a few lol moments anyway! Great week

It was brilliant. High pitched 2005 Eoin is absolutely gas

He was 17 a month ago.

The ripping on Eoin for the first few minutes was gas.

I usually listen at around 1.5 speed. That Horslips riff sounded demented.

I listen at about 1.3.. 1.5 is just that little bit too fast for me.

All my podcast sound like they’ve had a stroke if I accidentally go back to 1x playback.

Same here. Can't handle anything faster

I can’t bear to listen to Ken talking about Jose anymore. Hmmm.

But to give some balance, I laughed incredibly hard listening to the “horse” clip today.

Dots1982

The guy reporting in Italy said the reason Corona was so rampant there was because they tested more people and because the people there are older. But that doesn’t explain why its only affecting people in the North generally. Ken and Eoin didnt quite have the nous to follow that up... anyone know why?

Probably because of the bull**** you were making up about Mark Horgan.

A guy who spend a lot of time in the soccer forum defending John Delaney, insisting he did nothing wrong too. Think there's a name for posters like that :pac:

That's biology.

jaysus, the lads will be screwed for content if stuff keeps getting cancelled. must be worrying for them as an SME.

I'd still listen to Ken's take on the apocalypse.

I see sheep

Presumably there will be lots of sports people with nothing to do, so loads will be available for interviews?

I'll never forget that time he said we'd all accept global warming if Pardew's house got flooded first.

Say Your Number

The fella on the Ronda Rousey ad sounded like US Murph.

Googled 'put a banging donk on it'

Ehhh....yeah

North of 32

The part they did about Spike Lee & the Knicks was bizarre and seemed like total filler. They hardly ever cover the NBA and then all of a sudden do a 2 part segment for an absolute non-issue; one with Murph giving the initial overview and then an interview with US Murph.

I hope they get an actual journalist to discuss the NBA situation. No disrespect to US Murph but he's very much just a jack-of-all-trades and is not suitable for analysis of topics.

I've no interest in basketball but found the Spike Lee stuff very interesting (and funny) as well as the info about the Knicks and the background on their shady, incompetent owner.

The show will go on.

Would highly recommend Reggie Miller vs the New York Knicks 30 for 30 doc that they mentioned as well for anyone that hasn't seen it

Jack Charlton audio bed is great

He's a baseball guy really (along with some golf). The problem is that there's next to no interest in MLB among SC subscribers.

I imagine their subscription numbers will take a bit of a hit for the next while, ultimately a lot of people are going to be earning less and will need to cut back on non-essentials. Every euro will help for many. People off work also means less time in the car, bus or train listening to podcasts for commuters.

Like most people though, they'll tough it out and still be there when everything bounces back in time.

Just watched this, thanks for the recommendation!

Edit: not sure this is the 30/30 one but it's still daycent

Ivefoundgod

Think the 30 for 30 is called Winning Time. If you have BT i've noticed they're showing some of them these days.

Can sometimes find the players chair a bit mixed but enjoyed listening to Jack Byrne today.

Yeah enjoyed it too.

Another one revealing the odd people skills of the peculiar Martin O'Neill.

The Euro's being moved and Tom Brady leaving the Patriots at least gives them something to talk about.

Really engaging interview, one of the strongest players chair interviews to date. He seemed really relaxed with Richie and the interview flowed as a result.

The discussion about his family, especially around the death of his father was raw. He's been through a lot but never offered up excuses.

Holy jesus, have I got this right? They've added a David O'Doherty podcast to the World Service?

This is outstanding news. Wow!

You can tell how nervous the lads are about content going forward. I love listening to them but can't see myself keeping the sub going with no sport on

If they introduced an annual option I’d pay them now upfront for the year, SMEs need our support.
