Off The Ball team leave Newstalk

Anyone agree with ken Early's views on singing the national anthem. That he would not sing a silly little song.

Not many places will take a risk in employing 5 people for z show. When pat Kenny left rte he did not bring his team with him. The second captains lads seem to come as a 5 man team. That's a big overhead to start with.

OTB is good but it has too much GAA knowledge in comparison to its football knowledge.

Gilroy is GAA with an interest in football

Molloy is golf with a good interest in football

And theb the two other lads are ex gaa stars who have a barstool interest on football,

I would not beat them up about it because the job of the presenter is not to be the sage but to get the info out of their guests head and to get good guests.

Pat nevin
Giles
Tim vickery
Marcotti
Andy mitten are all good contributors and then for the football show they have Emmet Malone or Daniel mc Donnell in studio for the football show. I think it works well and as listeners we have both shows to listen to,

Hard to believe that. OTB has been wank since they left

the new lads are shocking, very limited knowledge, especially relating to football. they were talking about irelands euro 2012 qualification a few months ago and they couldnt even remember who was in the group

Should be an improvement. He has a deep enough football knowledge. Dont know if it will mean a bit more LOI coverage. EDIT: Not an Early role. More of a side analyst

Browne to Early "ferguson threw a hairdyer I think at David Beckham, is that right?"

Jaysus u would imagine its in their interest to get behind their new product and at least make it user friendly. The guardian have a good set up in fairness.
