What happened to the free Monday show for football?
In Brisbane listening to latest post Portugal episode. Heaven!!!! Thanks lads.
Having got one of the UK most renowned journalists on to discuss the premier league, it then proceeds to turn into a party political broadcast for Sinn Fein with comments about Colonial oppressers & Britain shooting Irish when the discussion is about the NFL going to Dublin……that is such a weird pivot…..
Kudos for bringing attention to atrocities in Palestine but Ken you were a bit weak letting your guest dismiss the atrocities of October 7 with no condemnation as “what other people did.” Just as Israelis are responsible for duly elected Netanyahu, Palestinians are responsible for duly elected Hamas. A discussion that fairly blames Israel but demurs on Hamas is not the whole truth.
Used to listen to these idiots but on Mondays show they proved themselves complete morons.
