Off the Ball crew gone from Newstalk.

[Bonbon12]

Podcasts in general are a waste of time in my opinion. All they are is lads talking shite. I don’t need other people to tell me what I think about a match or topic. I can make up my own mind.

I found some of the discussions very insightful about stuff I'd have missed in games. Talking gaa here. But I am really sick of listening to that fool skehill and Paul Murphy who is about as impartial as Brian Cody. What is it about KK pundits, always afraid to say boo about their own team's performance. Now the idea of paying for it, you're avin a larrf, mates.

Off the ball is horrendous. They're the biggest bunch of soft cocks ever assembled.

Its been atrocious with years.

The lads on Talksport are mostly shite but at least they talk about the sport and avoid the kind of up on your soapbox pontificating thats become the norm for the Newstalk sports show.

Shane Hannon sandbagging Kellie Harrington when she was on doing some promotional stuff for Spar took the biscuit. Nauseating radio and they all retweeting it, 'important radio', delighted to see that blow up in his face.

A Shower of wankers.

That and the night they spent an hour talking about women's shorts

Pay to listen to that shite you mist be joking

I think they have a shelf life. After a while it's repeatable. OTB are very bad for it, looking for the narrative post games that will fill the week. Hoping to get something said on an early in the week show that fills the latter part of the week until the next game.

The "Ireland don't like Scotland" shite that had Tom English crying is an example of that

Spot on. That’s the problem with being on so long, eventually you run out of things to say.

I'd be a lot closer to paying for Second Captains content than OTB content...but probably wouldn't part with cash for either.

That's not to say they don't produce some good stuff - but it's a saturated market and there's great quality free content available, as well as written digital content.

A pod would need to be amazing and blazing a lone trail in a really innovative way for me to be tempted to pay for it.

Not sure for how much longer the likes of The Guardian football Weekly and Totally Football Show pods will stay free, the way things are going.

Stopped listening a few years ago, the forced banter is irritating.

 

[El Guapo]

I'll miss the football pod. Paddy Andrews and James O'Donoghue were really good.

No way I'd pay a tenner for it though.

Second captains is a fiver that's a bit more like it but the fawking sound drops bug me too much

Patreon is a good model for Pods i think. I'm happy to pitch in a few quid but its not netflix
