Kid Icarus Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 They were talking about Football vocabulary on JLA this week. They got it absolutely spot on imo. If you say things like 'know ball' (or imo also if you refer to a transfer as a 'pickup', or say things like 'nostalgia merchant') then rightly or wrongly I automatically have no interest in anything you have to say about football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City and Liverpool will fear us. We are mint. Isak will score 40 goals. Who is going. To. Stop. Us?!.” Followed by the match reaction pod when we inevitably lose.

ramirez Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Listening back to the pod on the Tyne live recording during yesterdays draw, alarmingly for journalists they hadn’t done homework at all and didn’t realise we were restricted to three groups after the second pot. Was pretty obvious to anyone who had spent five mins on a simulator. I wonder when they’ll catch on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) It really says something that Waugh is by far the best one on that Podcast. Edited September 1, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Was very much expecting The Rest is Football to be an extension of MOTD, TalkSport and Micah laughing, but I'm pleased to say that I think it's the football podcast I enjoy the most. I thoroughly enjoyed that Q&A and when Lineker doesn't have to worry about presenting and gets into anecdote mode he's excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He achieved a lot more in the game than most of them, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Agree with all that. My only pet peeve with Lineker is that he tends to talk over people (usually Shearer ) a bit too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Listened to The Athletics European Football Show yesterday. Not listened to it since Richardson, Laurens, Horncastle etc. were doing it on The Guardian years ago(?). Really enjoyed it. Horncastle a lot more bearable when you're not watching having to watch him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I know some on here are less keen on Undr the Cosh but would recommend the Mark Halsey episode just out. The ones they've done with referees so far have been excellent and this one is possibly the best one yet (Jeff Winter and Kevin Lynch the other ones worth a go). He proper hates Mike Riley which I'm sure plenty on here can relate to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
