    “Connection piece”, “loyalty piece”, “unity piece”, “leadership piece”, “maturity piece”, “trade piece”.

    Worse than Sam “Space” Edmund who’s a ‘journalist’ piece in the media space.

  • Good, Bad and Ugly

    The Good - Saturday show is generally a good listen, Simmo has been a great addition.

    The Bad - Sunday show can be a bit hit and miss

    The Ugly - Cam Luke seems to think this is his personal soapbox. Rarely shuts up and constantly wants to speak over everyone else.

  • Great podcast

    Love this podcast - especially when Gerard is the host. Favourite guest is always David King for me - but Dermie is often interesting as well.

  • No good with Derm

    Derm was a great footballer but he’s no analyst. Not much of a review of the game in any detail when he’s involved. Bring back Sando and put him and David king together with Gerard
