I did too. That Ciaran Whelan is an awful weirdo.

You’ve clearly read them if you’re aware of them, mate.
Keep on seething.

I spotted one on Sunday, I gave it a chance but it was so shit that I couldn’t get past the third (of ten 
) stanza. I did chuckle that something which you put that time into got you a solitary like, what a hopeless cunt you are. And I’m the one seething

Well at least you admit you’re the one seething, mate, which is a start.
Well done on spotting it by the way - it’s nice to know not everything flies over your head, even if it usually does appear that way.
Prompted by @gilgamboa’s flagging of the pat Lam interview with OTB, it reminded me there’s been a few good pieces from them in recent weeks worth listening to if anyone is arsed
Kilkenny hurler Tom Walsh, Kathrine Switzer and the Lisbon Lions are among the many voices in the 1967 edition of OTB Reflections.

have you got O’Neil destroying Gilroy?
Ger Gilroy:
Yeah, except the thing about the national team is that…
A lot of the the…
A lot of the language around it is dictated, by the TV punditry
And I don’t know if the view is necessarily dictated the way it would have been when we were kids growing up, where there was… like…
No access
No other analysis
No other media around it
It was like the two lads, said whatever they said
The public parroted that
Maybe, I think now people have much more access and they have their own information
And they can make their own mind up
But it’s still…like, there is still a dominate viewpoint at times.
Is…the viewpoint that comes across on the TV punditry
And, with the national team everybody feels a sense of ownership about it
Martin O’Neill:
Eh sorry
I am not following you
Give me that again
Ger Gilroy:
Are you worried that sometimes the analysis around team is a bit too negative?
Martin O’Neill:
You could of said that in the first place
That took you 15 minutes
Ger Gilroy: (Interrupting quickly)
I wanted to explain it properly
Martin O’Neill:
Well, it is easier if you just speak simply
You know, it helps…

Great stuff by MON. Gilroy needs to realise that he should ask questions to get information for the listener and not to try and make himself look more intelligent than he is.

A nice reply. Obviously a lot of hatred for gilroy
That’s brilliant. Just listened to it there. It’s at 47 minutes in the interview @myboyblue embedded there if anyone wants to pick it out. Took a full 40 seconds to ask it.

The Chris waddle interview last night was very funny/entertaining
He’s always entertaining. An alright sort. Still plays a bit of football for his pub team.
And a lot of love for MON. A great man, with a wicked line in put downs.
Heard the MON interview live on Saturday while driving. Very interesting on his time in Belfast and then moving to Nottingham with family.
Richie McCormack from Off The Ball reckons the Evening Herald mistakenly using a picture of Stormzy (who’s he?) instead of Lukaku raises questions about their attitude to people of colour. 
Declan Lynch was tremendous on today’s newspaper review laying into the corporate culture of sport, and golf and Sky Sports in particular.
he compared the bogball stadium in cark to a below average championship stadium
I was underwhelmed by it, albeit that was only from seeing it on tv yesterday.
It was very public spirited of you to watch the hurling.
