June 20, 2022 16:06 - 27 minutes - 62.2 MBEoin returns to the football pod and gives his long awaited take on the Nations League and Ireland’s best goal, meanwhile Ken is accused of twisting facts to suit his narrative, which just goes to show the kind of stuff that comes in from scum around the country. We also chat about Richard Arnold’s pub talk with Man United fans, what's happening with Frenkie de Jong and Murph's solution to the FAI's sponsor issues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ep 2363: Eoin On A Farm, Ken's Golf Power Rankings, And Then There Were Four - 20/06/22
June 20, 2022 14:22 - 54 minutes - 74.7 MBEoin is back in the hot-seat, and to celebrate his return, the All-Ireland hurling championship has been whittled down to its last four - Jamie Wall and 2013 All-Ireland winning captain Pat Donnellan join us to discuss the two quarter-finals this week. Galway beat Cork, but don’t have a rat’s chance against Limerick, while Shane O’Donnell continues to perform miracles for Clare, even when they’re under-performing. And when Plan A works, but has been rumbled, how important it is to adapt - ...
Ep 2358: Rory McIlroy, LIV And Let Die - 13/06/22
June 13, 2022 17:44 - 16 minutes - 15 MBFrom calling out Phil Mickelson, to pronouncing the LIV Series dead in the water, to questioning the pursuit of money, Rory McIlroy has been nothing if not outspoken these last few months. He looked like a man with a point to prove as he defended his Canadian Open title this weekend, taking him to 21 PGA Tour wins, one more than.....somebody else. Meanwhile Charl Schwartzel was winning four times as much as Rory over on the LIV tour, but wasn't wrestling with his conscience. And world numb...
Ep 2357: Victory At Last - 13/06/22
June 13, 2022 14:46 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBVictory this weekend was never, of course, in doubt and that is precisely what Ireland delivered. We chat to Dion Fanning and Miguel Delaney about our over-reaction to every Ireland result, the reality that this group of players, and this manager, will continue to make mistakes and be inconsistent, and a heated debate breaks out over whether long shots, dribbles or passing moves are the best kind of goals. Plus there's the joy of simplicity, the Hendrick debate, and Ken on the beauty of P...
Ep 2352: No Goals, No Wins And No Excuses For The Irish Football Team - 06/06/22
June 06, 2022 12:54 - 1 hour - 166 MBThe Irish football team: a consistent source of disappointment, or a consistently bracing source of perspective on life? Ken and Murph disagree, just as they disagree on many things about the game. One thing they do agree on is that in international football, a superhero isn't necessary, but as Wales and Norway demonstrate, it sure helps. Richie Sadlier and Gavin Cooney join us to analyse what happened in Yerevan. Why can't we create chances? For all the supposed improvement are there an...
Ep 2347: Turkeys, Derry Scenes, HaraKildari And Energy Free Zones - 30/05/22
May 30, 2022 13:28 - 24 minutes - 55.2 MBWe had four pretty awful provincial Gaelic Football finals this weekend, the undoubted main story of which was Derry outlasting Donegal in a dour, defensive Ulster final during which Donegal played a risk averse, low energy game. Galway keep marching on in Connacht, and then there was the galling sight of Dublin and Kerry once again filleting provincial opposition in their finals on Saturday. Why on earth did Kildare not use a sweeper against Dublin and will Derry get it so easy outside of...
Ep 2346: Tears, Tear Gas And Ratatouille - Madrid Are Champions Of Europe - 30/05/22
May 30, 2022 11:35 - 1 hour - 162 MBThe universe gave Ken all the signs in the world, including an actual, real-life rat infestation on the streets of Paris, but he refused to listen. Real Madrid are champions of Europe. After a chaotic, dangerous and depressing night in Paris for so many Liverpool fans, Ken speaks to Miguel Delaney and Jonathan Wilson about whether they're a great team or not, the mistakes made for the Vinicius goal and just how Madrid keep winning this competition. Liverpool played 3 cup finals this season...
Ep 2341: Waterford Sink, Can't Buy Me Liam, GAA Move Fast And Break Things
May 23, 2022 15:27 - 21 minutes - 48.5 MBLast month, Waterford were the number 1 contenders for Limerick’s All-Ireland crown. Today, they’re out of the championship. Did expectation and big talk kill them? Ken wants to know why the Dublin hurlers haven't bought the Liam McCarthy Cup, and with the All-Ireland finals no longer in September he accuses the GAA of ripping up the fabric of Irish life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Ep 2340: City Clench And Clinch , Football's Dictators, Mbappe's Staying Power, Saipan Fresh
May 23, 2022 14:09 - 1 hour - 122 MBManchester City are the Premier League champions, again sealing the title with a 3-2 comeback win at home. We talk about City's win and how in the end the players carried their manager over the line. We are joined by Miguel Delaney and Jonathan Wilson to talk about City's win. The last day provided the drama, but is the competition in a healthy state? Is the billionaire-worship of football fans an ominous sign for wider society? Plus there's Mbappe's staying power and who was right in S...
Blue Crush, Frank's Emotions, Rangers on Tour, Dreary Derry
May 20, 2022 13:22 - 10 minutes - 24.2 MBIt's been a wild week on the Second Captains World Service with Frank's redemption, Everton's fan power, Rangers in Seville and we even take the time to have another pop at Derry football.

Ep 2335: Now That’s What I Call Hurling, Meath Spurn The Hayes Way, Eoin Is Talkin' Italian - 16/05/22
May 16, 2022 16:26 - 21 minutes - 48.4 MBCork were mad as hell and they just weren’t gonna take it anymore… and their defeat of Waterford yesterday has blown the entire championship wide open. Waterford are now relying on winless Tipperary to do them a favour next week, otherwise the league champions won’t even qualify out of Munster. And a packed Cusack Park in Ennis was a stark contrast to how spinelessly Meath exited the Leinster football championship – a situation which moved Ken almost to tears. Hosted on Acast. See acas...
Ep 2334: City Slip, Treason At Wembley, Newcastle Fly The Flag - 16/05/22
May 16, 2022 15:55 - 1 hour - 106 MBThere was little in West Ham’s record against Guardiola-era Man City to suggest they would cause many problems to the aspiring champions yesterday, but it turned out Jarrod Bowen and Lukasz Fabianski had other ideas. Meanwhile Liverpool won the FA Cup yet defiled the occasion by booing both the anthem and the second in line to the throne. Dion Fanning and Gavin Cooney join us to analyse the weekend’s action. How confident can Jack Grealish be of getting his hands on the league trophy next...
Episode 2329: Munster Heartbreaker, Zombie Comes Alive, Leinster Tame Tigers - 09/05/22
May 09, 2022 16:04 - 20 minutes - 46.7 MBMunster had 41,000 fans roaring them on to what, after 65 minutes, looked like being a famous victory over Toulouse. In the end they lost it in the most heartbreaking way, by shanking a few kicks in a penalty shootout. It had ,however, all the drama, atmosphere, desire and great play shown by the teams in the 2000's, but will that be of any solace this week?We also discuss Leinster doing just enough against Leicester, their date with the French double winners, Zombie coming alive at the Aviva...

April 25, 2022 16:54 - 18 minutes - 25 MBIt was a beautiful weekend to be out west, especially when your team silences all the losers and haters out there, as Murph's Galway tribe did on Sunday by beating a much fancied Mayo team.

Ep 2317: Everton, Liverpool, The Slip And The Drop - 25/04/22
April 25, 2022 14:14 - 1 hour - 92.7 MBThe ghost of The Slip haunted yesterday's Merseyside derby, as Everton took an old-school approach to getting out of Anfield alive. We talk about why this was a terrible idea. Rory Smith and Miguel Delaney join us to talk about the weekend's action. Did Everton ever have a chance with Lampard's game plan?

John Brewin and Jack Pitt Brooke join us to analyse the weekend's action. Is City's defeat on Guardiola? Can Ronaldo do it again at Anfield? And which of the three sides hobbling after ...

April 11, 2022 15:57 - 23 minutes - 32.5 MBThe US Masters was won by the world number 1 Scottie Scheffler last night, but in another, more important way, surely Rory McIlroy should be declared the winner? We discuss how Rory enlivened what would have been an otherwise routine Sunday evening in Augusta, and how Shane Lowry continues to excel in the big tournaments. There was also Tiger's grind, and Jim Nantz's minimalist commentary style, and a possibly superfluous Ole Gunnar Solskjaer mention. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy ...

March 21, 2022 13:34 - 52 minutes - 71.6 MBWhatever we expected from the final weekend of the Six Nations, those expectations probably didn't include an amazing win for Italy in Cardiff, sealed by a last minute wonder-try created by a 71kg 22-year-old.
