    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

    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.

    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...

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    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...

    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.

    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.
