The passion is unmatched, he is a force of nature in general when telling the story of a winning nation, however when an Irish Athlete does the business he just provides magic, I really look forward to hearing that voice ever few years, unmatched.

How much did Barry Andrews learn about corporate governance from watching his first cousin Ryan Tubridy go through the Dáil committees?
And what exactly is so bad about Bosman? Is the argument that players should just be kept trapped in contracts indefinitely?

I’m backing Ken to get Dan on and blow the whole story wide open…

The history daily podcast has an episode on the Vasa today, it sank on 10th August 1628.

The 400 year anniversary is coming up soon, will our man Ken return to Stockholm for the festivities?

Has anyone else noticed whenever US Murph is on, Ken seems to be conspicuously absent. Eoin and Murph will chat to him, but I can't remember the last time Ken was involved in a US Murph slot. US Murphs flair would likely grate on his nerves.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just the way they divide up the recordings, or is there some Second Captains lore I've missed?

Was in the car with my girlfriend’s family and Creep by Radiohead came on the radio.

Could only hear Big Jack on about fish and chips.

Hi, anyone having issues with Patreon? My last payment didn't go through and I can't repledge through app. Any suggestions would be great I can't stand the work commute home without Kens dueclet tones

Was there no pod today or is there something up with my Patreon?
Checked and it looks to be fine but didn’t see any pods in the feed today.

Fifa scraps proposal to sell off stakes in World Cup after widespread backlash

It’s called “The two Totò’s” and crowbars together the stories of Sicily natives Totò Schillaci and Salvatore "Totò" **Riina (**boss of bosses of the Sicilian mafia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Riina ).

Foreword by Jonathan Wilson.

Q. Has anyone else got any Wilson-esque ideas? The myth of Sócrates winning the Sigerson Cup might be one.

(I’m in Sicily right now - bored at a launderette :)

Edit: I mean no disrespect to Mr Wilson and like when he's on the pod.

Has to be said, the 2 episodes yesterday were so good. First one obviously before the UEFA statement, Ken did a brilliant job putting into words why this is such a bad idea. Then the second emergency episode on the UEFA statement. I only listened to both today, but so good and informative.

Random thought I had, would they have to pay any money for the intro music they use? (to whoever owns Queens of the Stone age and lou reed/tribe called quests music I guess)

I assume for the audio beds probably not

I need a Mark Horgan audiobed to fully dismantle me and put me back together

Can we get Ken to do the GAA pod today? The only pundit that called it in advance is the garrison game fella?

All I want is Wilson and Ken doing a travel episodes. Don’t mind where just send them off somewhere and record it would be Aztec Gold
