Second Captains Part II

OTB lads speculating that Poyet said on their show that he was in contract until 31st March, so could be him still

Ken’s jealousy wishing he was as pithy as Gary Neville is one of the longest running threads on Second Captains

Can’t stop laughing at Damo claiming the FAI have played their cards well and that it hasn’t been a shïtshow

Hi Flynner

BTW were you ever in the GPA? I'm sure I heard someone mention it once in passing - can't think who 🤔

Kerr on the Big Johnny Ireland coaching ticket, Second Captains will be beside themselves with joy

There definitely is a Ferguson problem even if Ken and the Athletic lad want to deny it. Hammered by Fulham with Evan missing big chances.

He’s had a disappointing season. Anyone saying he hasn’t is just being revisionist.

Wilson has been listening to way too much Second Captains, his Spurs match report today was filled with sneering drivel about Werner scoring.

Like most people, outside of Six Nations and the World Cup I don't really pay too much attention to their rugby pods.

I can't help noticing how Simon asks his questions though, it's as if he has to work in how knowledgeable is about it into his question.

A little bit annoying to this subscriber.

I laughed out loud at Simon yesterday.

"Do you think we've outgrown the six nations?

...

...

Do you think we need to split the country in two?"

I think you might be reading a little too much into it re the pro liverpool slant. Ken has always been like this, he takes a sometimes unique or left field take on things. What i took from yesterday was the overblown nature of the reaction to the mistake rather than the mistake itself. He was pointing out that there was several passage of plays before liverpool scored and Forrest could have cleared the ball etc. Mark Critchley was basically agreeing with him yesterday. He seemed to be more making a point about the whole referee pressure angle and how it's another weird turn for the game to have taken - referee's on the books at clubs to "advise" and all that.

I think it's clear to everyone the ref made a mistake but i don't think we can say Ken was completely biased in the way he spoke about it more that he was speaking about the bigger picture of putting pressure on referees to obtain an outcome without going into the minutia of the mistake itself.

Ken is increasingly Liverpool centric these days. Up until a few years ago you wouldn’t know what team he supports. There was a lad on reporting from the AFCON and Ken was only asking about Liverpool’s players.I remember he only got upset about “let it flow” when pool players got injured. In subjective situations he is always siding with his team. If the ref had messed up and cost Liverpool a goal I do not think he would be so chill about it.

I support Arsenal myself and I have never noticed him sneering at them.

I remember taking the piss out of the shambolic situation at Liverpool loads during the Hicks/Gillet years and he used to get loads of mileage about how gormless Brendan Rodgers was in how he talked about himself in the press. When Liverpool deserved the flack during the years, he's given it to them.

This thing about Ken's Liverpool bias is a total load of nonsense. I've been listening since '06 and in that time Liverpool's fortunes have been up and down and I would have never twigged that he was a supposed Liverpool fan if I hadn't read it here.

It kind of reminds me of when you stumble into the main PL thread in the soccer forum and there's so many posters in there who filter EVERYTHING that happens in anything to do with the game at somehow insulting/taking umbrage at some perceived slight on their main rival. And 90% of the time it's United or Liverpool fans. It's actually crazy how much it orientates their views on everything.

According to my records the evidence is a perfect fit.
