Second Captains Part II

Oh ya, every summer for the last few years. Some quality guests, and some interesting people you may not have heard of too. Ardal O'Hanlon today.

I presume they plug Richie's stuff because that needs people listening to pay for the ads, whereas the radio show is presumably paid for by rte.

no ken on today's liverpool v united podcast. I've no interest in listening

WTF was Murph doing interrupting Caitlin Thompson to make a terrible ‘joke’ about Ireland versus Spain in the Olympics medal table?!? Eoin did not sound impressed, a forced chuckle and then straight back to CT

Early vs Jordan would be the dream bout.

The funniest timeline is the one where we win on Saturday and Carsley is immediately ruled out of the England job despite the fawning media campaign to install him.

more of a comparison with Grealish. Musiala had zero senior caps for England unlike Rice having 3 for Ireland and being Young POTY.

I guess Fenian Lee isn't all bad. It's going to be weird if England have someone I actually like managing them.

Not such a good listen when they have actresses like Eileen Walsh today, or yer wan who plays the nun in Derry Girls.

Eoin and Murph turn into fawning schoolgirls, giggling at every unfunny quips their guest makes.

I never knew they were such "theatre dawlings"

Naw this is just fúcking funny at this point. Wallowing in self-flagellation is what we do best anyways.

He tweeted about it!

The Kenny faction have made a show of themselves in the last few years. Firstly by continually backing a clueless manager as he went from one failure to the next and now trying to oust his successor after 1 game. The truth is that the squad may not be of the highest quality but their confidence is absolutely shot. Being managed by a man who couldn't string a sentence together and guiding them to numerous embarrassments has left this squad devoid of any belief.

They are much better than they showed on Saturday but it will take time to pick them up off the floor. I expect a much better performance tonight and hopefully a recovery can be made. Whether Heimar is the right man for the recovery remains to be seen but at least give him the Nations League before making any judgements.

Typical delaney, smug superior character. What has done coach/management wise that he knows so much has always made me wonder about him. He is clearly a tactical genius going by what he talks about.

You mean the presser where the manager was obligated to appear in is it? It’s like saying why are people weirded out by the minster for finance not announcing tbe budget, it just is something glaring when the Icelandic lad spent the week saying he wasn’t really at the wheel.

Responses like this have the same smack off them as the ones where people swore blind for a year that the FAI weren’t making an utterly embarrassing hash of the search for a new manager. The lads are the ones on the money as usual.

Heimer must have been listening to the podcast because he’s doing a mountain of gyrating and gesticulating during this break in play

If you don’t enjoy the misery are you even an Irish supporter

Manu Petit and Katie McCabe by the looks of it.

Have you listened to the non-subscriber feed on a Monday? That has proper ad reads.

One or two ad reads in that manner a year doesn't bother me in the slightest on the world service feed.

It most definitely is member led in that they're not bowing down to Dennis OBrien or an equivalent. They decide what their narrative is and people either sub or they don't. They've no higher power to answer to except their subscribers.

They have done live shows from the country before. not in a while though. Maybe they know their demographic better than you though?
