The Offside Rule 2016/7 - Episode 14 Feb 23, 2017

Show notes

It's double trouble as Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper front episode 14 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). We all know about the magic of the FA Cup and this season is no different, with Lincoln City the first non-league side to reach the quarter finals in over 100 years. We reminisce about our favourite ever FA Cup moments, including the one that got Lynsey hooked on working in football. News has emerged that Red Bull is looking to buy a club in Hungary after its success with New York Red Bulls and RB Leipzig, while newly-formed Minnesota United set to enter the MLS. But how successful have recently-created clubs been; are they all title challengers like RB Leipzig? We look at how some brand-new and rebranded sides have done in recent years. Football is wonderfully diverse and filled with many languages and nationalities. Roman Pavlyuchenko communicated in noises when he first arrived at Spurs, which shows there's sometimes a translation problem. We look at the funniest language mix-ups - which ex-England striker accidentally proclaimed he'd like to sleep with Frank Lampard?!

The Offside Rule 2016/7 - Episode 13 Feb 09, 2017

Show notes

The January transfer window is finally over, and Kait Borsay, Lynsey Hooper and Hayley McQueen are back to bring you a post-window episode of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). We all know January produces some flop signings, but what about the ones who flopped so bad they left almost immediately? Who got sacked and who was sold on at a tidy profit? The Premier League relegation battle is incredibly tight, with 6 teams running the risk of going down. We look at why Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Swansea, Hull, Leicester and 'Boro could survive or fall; which new manager is a man with a plan, and which team needs a visit from a psychologist? After Jose Mourinho stormed off mid-TV interview following a draw to Hull, we got thinking about our own snubs - and we've experienced a few! Tune in to find out who had a tantrum via his interpreter and which club stifled Lynsey's journalistic questioning...

The Offside Rule 2016/7 - Episode 12 TRANSFER TRUMP Jan 26, 2017

Show notes

The new year is in full swing and Kait Borsay, Lynsey Hooper and Hayley McQueen are back for episode 12 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). We couldn't have a late-January podcast without mentioning the January transfer window - who hasn't been snapped up yet? We give you our top transfer tips, and a little bit of advice for teams still looking to buy. The Women's Super League will soon run in tandem with the Premier League, so we turn our attention to some of the standout newbies in the WSL - and one familiar returning face! We couldn't do this podcast without mentioning Donald Trump's inauguration but we've of course put our own little spin on it. We've improved on Trump's slogan 'Make America Great Again' - let's Make Football Great Again, complete with pledges for the national game, blatant lies (or "alternative facts"...) and a reworked Trump speech! 30 minutes of listening pleasure, brought to you by Offside Productions.

Show notes

Happy new year listeners from Lynsey Hooper, Hayley McQueen and Kait Borsay.

We catch up on the festive footy and reveal the results of our December predictions - which of our trio got every darn thing right? It's 2017 and the diet plans are already on hold.. time to talk Chinese takeaways. With the mega-nation seemingly wanting to buy everything in English football, what else can we offload to them for the right price? 30 minutes of listening pleasure, brought to you by Offside Productions.

The Offside Rule 2016/17 - Episode 9 Dec 08, 2016

Show notes

It's a special episode of The Offside Rule (We Get It!) this week, as the trio of Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen is back together! We're getting in the spirit of Christmas (sort of) by looking at Santa's sack race. No, it's not about the presents he's bringing, but rather a P45...who do we think will be the first manager to receive this lump of coal in their stocking? Bob Bradley and Alan Pardew naturally crop up, but what about the outsider who isn't fitting in to his new club? Now, it’s annoying when friends show you up by sending Christmas cards at the beginning of December isn’t it? What about when footballers or teams do the same - which team topped their table before crashing down to 6th? And which fans got ahead of themselves with a play-off pitch invasion? We've seen some dramatics recently - including big comebacks for Bournemouth and Swansea against Liverpool and Crystal Palace respectively - so we look at some of the best comebacks and on-pitch dramatics in recent years...are their any teams who've been involved more than others?

The Offside Rule 2016/17 - Episode 8 Nov 24, 2016

Show notes

Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper are back to bring you another dose of football madness on The Offside Rule (We Get It!). We're fast approaching the hectic Christmas period, and league tables are starting to shape up nicely. However, there's some teams that are in less-than-desirable positions, but what's happened to them? Which manager do we think is focusing on completing his bucket list before retirement? We grab title-winning Jill Scott of Manchester City Ladies for some quick fire questions. And speaking of interviews, it looks like Gareth Southgate is the only candidate for the England job, so surely nothing could go wrong...right? We give you some of the best managerial interview flops over the years, including a headline-grabber who was foiled by his love of PowerPoints!

The Offside Rule 2016/17 - Episode 7 Nov 10, 2016

Show notes

Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are back to bring you an extra football fix during this international break, on The Offside Rule (We Get It!). The mannequin challenge is taking over social media but there's no standing still in the Premier League, with an already fierce battle amongst the top teams. We look at the top four: what are they doing well, and what could trip them up, and importantly, who do we think will walk away with the title? We catch up with some of Manchester City Women's title winning players and get them to spill the secrets to their success. During the international break, we see plenty of Premier League stars in action for their international sides, but it's rarer to see English players giving it a go abroad. We look at some of the most successful Brits abroad...and some flops!
