Second Captains Part II

Here's the Steph Curry video they were talking about

Thought Ken overlooked the most interesting aspect of Abramovich's inferred opinion on the war. He seems to be against Putin. Even if his attempt at peace was simplistic he is still a Russian oligarch pledging money to those in Ukraine affected by war. The putin supporters are denying there's any civilian damage at the moment. His daughter came out against the war. RA is acting like he respects the UK government more than the Russian.

He's been called one of putins friends but he's not acting that way. I think it's interesting. https://inews.co.uk/news/russian-speaking-out-war-ukraine-sofia-abramovich-billionaires-putin-1492556

Oh christ, I'm listening to Shane Horgan drone on on yesterday's pod and I genuinely feel sorry for all the people who bought tickets for the Friday show

Oisin McConville and Paul Flynn was tonight

How do you think those oligarchs got their money in the first place?

Well, Shane Horgan anyway

Rugby live show was brilliant. Good humoured and none of the usual Shaggy, Trimby waffle

I enjoyed the cursing and drinking. In my opinion they should do a weekly “Second Captains: After Dark show which would feature heavy drinking/cursing and the tackling of very controversial topics.

Just caught up on some of this week's pods.

Enjoyed the sanctions one immensely.

None the less, I feel I have to say a non US Murph gangs all here?

Not for me.

(Yes for me, but my point is made).

I agree with you there. Skipped through the last 5 mins as Ken spent far too much time on the same topic.

I've called them out on it on Twitter. You can't lecture about sportswashing yesterday and have a Daniel Kinahan money launderer on the next day

Any link to your tweet?

Good to hear them respond to the Kinahan criticism. Fair enough answer really, that they wouldn't question him on it under the circumstances. The bigger question for me is whether or not he should have been brought on in the first place though. I suppose it's a balance - is it enough of a public interest story, as an irish boxer in a title fight, to justify inviting him on? Or should there be a hardline no-MTK fighters policy? No easy answers to that one I guess, and while I'd personally probably err on the side of the latter, I can understand the former position.

Major whiff of Eddie Howe "Let me talk about just football" from their answer.

I'm not it all buying it. A stipulation of Second Captains getting that interview would have been not to ask about MTK. You are naive if you think otherwise.

Fair enough they dont want to ask Conlan a hard question after a devastating loss but he should never have been interviewed in the first place.

By choosing to interview Conlan they facilitated MTK sportswashing.

If the guys are watching this thread, we absolutely need a new rugby audiobed based on the Italian win against Wales in rugby this afternoon.

The Italian commentary is beautiful!

The main pod will be a boring rugby pod for sure with "shaggy" and the goys.
