Unsubscribed to SC recently, they are still doing well but the show is not strong enough for me. Ken talks a lot of completely bollocks, Murph on GAA isnt a patch on OTB or Woolys GAA hour and Richie Sadlier should not have a media career.

OTB is back to being very strong although i never listen live only to their pods, joe Molloy is as good as there is out there on sport.

Woolly is a gobshite of the highest order. Has nothing objective to say and is a complete mercenary to boot.

Molloy is very good on OTB but Gilroy is an embarrassment. The less said about "Off the Ballbag" the better.

Ken Early is one of the best soccer analysts in Ireland and the UK.

I find Early interesting but an analyst he is not, never says anything overly insightful. Actually soccer in general, for a sport that is the most popular, the lack of insightful tactical analysis is quite amazing. It's all shock and awe punditry, who can say the most controversial thing, real RTE school of thought.

Molloy is excellent, best sports presenter around and Gilroy is also very good.

I think Joe Molloy is very good, but I don't like Gilroy. He's snide, condescending and pretentious.

Off the ball are the market leader in sports coverage, review and analysis in this country in my book. I don't bother with anything else any more.

Amazing considering he's from Athy. I don't find him that bad just not a patch on Molloy as a host.

And Gilroy also puts on this "we're having so much craic in the office" act, as if anyone in the wider world gives two shites!

You mightn't like Wooly, but he knows his football an awful lot better than ANY other presenter out there.

It's because he's from Athy. :)

I always feel he's talking down to the audience. Preachy.

Am a world service member of second captions but am thinking of cancelling my subscription ,Ken early's ramblings are getting tedious now, I  would agree with a lot of people in that  Joe Molloy is a very good host /presenter
