[Franco]

The finest.

 

[Hector Grey]

back of the net! i was just thinking about that

 

[shitepipe]

nice one. have been checking daily for 2 months.

 

[cozy]

Deadly. Sunday afternoon pints

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Great to have the lads back.

I have a weird crush on Sean Ingle's voice. Or maybe just on Sean Ingle. I could imagine us being good pals.

 

[Franco]

Glendenning: Yay or nay? I say yay, but i'd imagine he's a spa.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Glendenning: Yay or nay? I say yay, but i'd imagine he's a spa.

Ah I reckon he's an alright sort now but was an annoying prick when he was younger.
He's pretty funny and if he's ok with Jimbo then he's ok by me.

 

[Beanstalk]

Glendenning: Yay or nay? I say yay, but i'd imagine he's a spa.

I wouldn't be in a rush to share pints with Glendenning, he'd wreck your head... but it's always a weaker pod when he's out...great chemistry between himself and Jimbo.

 

[Jerry Twig]

I struggle to listen to Glendenning. He's a tulip.

I'd agree with that.
Glendenning, while amusing and a great contributor, has the manner of a condescending D4 type - (albeit with an Offaly-ish accent)
I smell a boarding school. Or fee-paying at least.

 

[shitepipe]

He's entertaining but talks alot of shite about football. Its also really annoying how he acts as some kind of crusader for 'telling it like it is' and flying in the face of popular opinion when he talks as much shite as any of the people on the messageboard.

When they refer to the messageboard, do they just mean the comments section?

 

[Franco]

He routinely tries to crowbar a GAA reference in every week too, which is a bit stage Irish. But yeah, although full of shite, the pods can be a bit sterile in his absence.

Messageboard = comments.

ya. glenndenning likes to see himsef as the scourge of the moronic masses.

 

[evil bandit]

Off The Ball's Ken Early is on these sometimes ins't he???

 

[Franco]

He was hosting instead of Jimbo for a few weeks and got roasted on the messageboard. He was grand in fairness.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Richardson is about the only man alive that I can stand doing puns.

No small feat.

great sidekick, not a great host.

in fairness, jimbo is the ultimate host.

 

[Franco]

Yeah, he was on a hiding to nothing during his stint really.
