On this week's show we consider whether or not we're not appreciating sports by over-comparing amazing players and teams, as well as individual moments of brilliance. We discuss Jamie Carragher's assertion that Spurs are just an unlucky team to have not yet won the Premier League. Are pundits just trying to be controversial these days or do they really believe what they say? We round things out with a quick chat about the future of the U20s championship and what implications it could have for both players and counties, and Phil pays a quick tribute to the retiring Francesco Totti.

Ep 16: Are we comparing too much? Are Spurs just unlucky? Do pundits believe everything they say?

On this weeks show, we start with a chat about Joey Barton and the wider issue of betting in the Premier League. What’s wrong with betting on your own team? Did Barton have an excuse? Have a listen to find out! Eamon Dunphy was back on the airwaves this week writing off and then defending Barcelona and Messi. We sat down and wondered are this Barcelona team back after their win against Real Madrid, or did they ever even go away? With disappointment for the Irish provinces last weekend, we have a look back on their performance in Europe throughout the season, and wonder what they can hope for next year.

Ep 15: Barton’s betting, are Barca back/did they ever leave? And a look at last weekend's rugby.

This week we sat down to talk about the end of Leicester’s run in Europe, the away goals rule, and the FA cup semi finals….and somehow we got around to chatting about Renford Rejects and the Keith Duffy All Stars vs Harchester United. When we got back on track, we did our obligatory Lions squad reaction, and had a look at the place of the Lions in modern rugby.

Ep 14: The end of Leicester's fairytale, away goals rule, Lions chat...and Renford Rejects gold!

We're back! After an extended Christmas break, the Hurlers on the Ditch are back on the airwaves. This week we chat about Sergio Garcia's Master's win (2:05), the troubles at Arsenal (10:30) , and the Division 1 and 2 NFL finals from last weekend (21:30). We even got around to talking about Arsene Wenger's architectural skills, creepy British men at the Masters and Cian O'Neill's mind control tricks...
