    Is this a sports podcast?

    Or is it still one person reading aloud tweets, and waiting for some clever, wry comments from the two sidekicks?

    Desperately misused username if you're asking that question. Off you pop

    Yep, it's the sports podcast with the clever wry comments from the guys on it.

    Which is why is better than the million other sports podcasts with shìtty half arsed wannabe banter from the sidekicks.

    Trying to be critical might be impossible...

    I wouldn’t necessarily agree with anything PodcastReview says about podcasts

    Hi Ger!

    *waves hand*

    Actually now that you mention Ger. Have ye heard the new OTB ad he does the voiceover for? Sounds like a pisstake with the pitch of his voice.

    Just caught up on the Sindo piece by Paul Kimmage. I wasn’t going to sign up for the series but having read that I definitely will. Fair play to Mark and the whole team, sounds like a huge amount of work has gone into it. Hope it goes well for all concerned

    Few finer audible experiences than a wound up Ken, great listen.

    Thought I was completely sick of the David Silva chat but today was golden!

    Although I am glad he’s gone and hopefully no more David Silva chat going forward!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,068 ✭✭✭yermandan


    34 minutes in for those who want to skip the GAA chat and get to (hopefully the last ever mention of) the David Silva debate

    Christ, is there more Premier League talk today, it seems never ending.

    Rachel Denhollander was excellent yesterday, very grim, don't think I'd ever be that brave.

    Her story was shocking, I intend to watch Athlete A now as a result over the coming days. Gymnastics seems (from a distance) to be one of those ‘dodgy’ sports. You hear all the rumours of young children (Asian mainly) being taken from their families at extremely young ages and then cast aside at the first sniff of injury or a better prospect coming along. Got to feel incredibly sorry for children who get caught up in it with absolutely no guidance or support

    Rather the PL talk than dreary Oisin McConville and Murph banging on about U12's gah and the like.

    In fairness you're lucky they devote hours to it every week, and 'gah' gets comparatively little coverage even during peak 'gah' season.

    In fairness, as tedious as I have found the whole debate, today was worth every second.

    It reminded me so much of Ken's quote 'all I have is the factual information of what took place' or something similar in response to Giles' football men statement

    Yeah she is an incredibly brave woman. I'd encourage all subscribers to listen to her interview and to watch Athlete A on Netflix. It's shocking and very sad at times, but it really is very important that as many people as possible are made aware of it

    Really enjoyed the podcast with David Walsh on his new book The Russian Affair. I wasn't interested at all in listening to it, especially as it was just Eoin on the pod, but it ended up being brilliant. They worked well together actually, David and Eoin. The story was told brilliantly, and what a story it is. Might even get the book now!

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?

    I don't see why not, certain SC guests get slated on here merely because of the sound of their voice...

    Walsh wrote a book rightly condemning one criminal manipulator and abuser, while giving a character reference for and publicly saying he will stay friends with another and arguably much worse one. That's his entitlement, but it changes what I think about his integrity - that's my entitlement.

    I think, if I remember correctly, that Walsh wasn't fully aware of the severity of Tom Humphries crimes and had been given an extremely false picture of what had happened and even the nature of the charges that Humphries faced. I think he was hoodwinked to an extent. And a character witness can just be to say that you've known someone and you've known them to be a friend, decent person etc. It wouldn't have been false of Walsh to say this about Humphries, especially so if he was under false impressions about what Humphries had allegedly done.

    I don't attach much blame to Walsh in this instance - I think he was taken advantage of to be honest and he has apologised and says he regrets it. Surely that's enough?

    As for saying that he'd still be friends with Humphries. It's easy for me to say that there's no way I'd be like that in my life, but I don't know, I've never been faced with anything like that. If a friend of mine killed somebody or did something truly terrible would it be an absolute certainty that I'd turn my back on them and disown them completely? I think it's a much more complex decision than that.
