SECOND CAPTAINS have unveiled major plans to change their model and expand with the introduction of a paywall.
The team — made up of Eoin McDevitt, Ken Early, Ciaran Murphy, Mark Horgan and Simon Hick — have been producing Ireland’s most popular online sports shows since departing Newstalk’s Off The Ball and linking up with The Irish Times in 2013.
However, it was today announced they are cutting ties with their main partner and launching The Second Captains World Service, “a member-led, completely independent online station which gives you the chance to listen to all your favourite Second Captains podcasts everyday of the week”, from next Monday, 13 February.
The two free shows on Monday will remain, but in place of Thursday’s double bill, they will instead put out one daily podcast between Tuesday and Friday.
Regular guest Richie Sadlier is set to present one of the new programmes, while they have promised to announce further additions.
The extra podcasts will come at a small cost as there is a monthly subscription fee of €5 to listen on secondcaptains.com. All the details are in today’s show (embedded above).

Don’t know what he can be aggrieved about he elbowed toner straight in the face red card all day long fair play to the linesman cause the ref was initially going for the yellow card
@Ed Walsh: Will ya stop …barely deserved a yellow never mind a red .Embarrassing play acting from Toner .Ref initially was going for his shirt pocket for a yellow and it was the Pats fans screaming on the grass hill that made him witch to the back pocket.
There was only one really bad tackle all night ,on McCormack ,and the ref shit himself and barely produced a yellow .The diving was disgraceful too and the ref ,who’d lost the plot and control ,ignored it until the 93rd minute
@gavexile: OK
@gavexile: 100 per cent
@gavexile: Are you nuts, elbow to the face, deserved red.
He deserved to get the red card and should be banned for more than 1 game, it was an elbow to the face, really bad challenge.
Graham Cummins should be banned for a lot longer. There was no need for what he done.
What a great start for cork , st pats won’t be the push aside team they were last year !
@Tricksy: pat’s are a gutsy side, worried us ,very strong in corners/attack,or else our defence were well below par
