Show notes

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are reunited with Hayley McQueen for podcast 9 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Everyone's gossiping about Chelsea's poorest start to a season in 37 years, with Jose Mourinho adamant he's still The Special One. Chelsea have publicly backed their manager, which got us thinking about other big name managers who've struggled, but turned things around with the backing of the club owners. It's not all doom and gloom for Chelsea fans, as Chelsea Ladies clinched the FAWSL 1 title this weekend; we look at the standout moments of the season, while Sue Smith gives us her final round-up of the season and looks ahead to the next Continental Tyres Cup matches. We've heard stories about fans getting snubbed by their footballing heroes, but it's not often we hear about footballers being snubbed. Victor Anichebe recently tweeted about being ignored by two Game of Thrones stars this week; so what happens when other footballers meet their heroes? Which all-time great idolises Mr Bean, and who snubbed Mario Balotelli and his offer of gifts?

The Offside Rule 2015/16 Episode 8 Oct 01, 2015

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and regular star guest Mina Rzouki look at the week in football on The Offside Rule (We Get It!). Some of last season's top scorers, including Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane, finally got their name on the scoresheet over a month into the new season. But are there any other big hitters across Europe who are yet to score? Sir Alex Ferguson has finally released his aptly titled book 'Leading', and got us thinking about other great leaders in football; who can hold a candle to the Manchester United great? Finally, we look to the Rugby World Cup for inspiration - or maybe not - as England made a bad decision in the dying moments of their game against Wales that lost them the game. We give you our best last minute football fails, from own goals to accumulators. A jubilant Sue Smith, buoyed after Doncaster Belles' promotion, is back for another FAWSL round-up, as the title decider goes down to the final weekend...

We're celebrating everything non-league on this week's The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Lynsey Hooper, Hayley McQueen and Kait Borsay bring you podcast 7 live from Dulwich Hamlet FC as they took on Hampton & Richmond Borough. London's 'hippest' football club didn't disappoint as they played out a feisty 3-3 draw. In the spirit of the upcoming non-league day on 10 October, we look at players who started at the top level before giving something back to grassroots football at the end of their careers, and initiatives from established clubs supporting their local communities and non-league teams. Which club celebrated their 90th anniversary by dishing out 90 good deeds? Sue Smith joins us for another FAWSL round-up - don't miss out!

Show notes

Hayley McQueen rejoins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for episode 6 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). 19-year-old Anthony Martial has been in the headlines all week after scoring on his Manchester United debut against big rivals Liverpool. It's inspired us to think about other standout debuts. Is 4-4-2 officially dead? We discuss the much-maligned formation and look at teams who've had great success with the classic line-up. Barely a day goes by when we don't hear about footballers' astronomical wages, but what about those who've earned just as much money after football? We look at the winemakers, teachers and entrepreneurs who've made their millions after retiring from the beautiful game...don't miss out!

The Offside Rule 2015/16 episode 5 Sep 10, 2015

Show notes

It's double trouble this week on The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay bring you all the action from Wembley following England's 2-0 win over Switzerland. There's an exclusive interview with England goalkeeping coach Dave Watson who reveals what Wayne Rooney really thought about having to make a speech after the game. England have progressed through qualification with a 100% record only to be disappointed at the finals; but what's different this time? We dissect England's positives ahead of the tournament in France next year. Elsewhere, veteran striker Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick in his MLS debut, proving there's life in the old Drog yet (see what we did there?) and inspired us to look at other footballing stars who were successful well into their twilight years. And Sue Smith is back! She brings us the latest FAWSL round-up as the title chase hots up...don't miss out!

The Offside Rule 2015/16 Episode 4 Sep 03, 2015

Show notes

Mina Rzouki makes a welcome return to The Offside Rule (We Get It!) to discuss all things football with Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper. The transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday evening, and although it was a quiet deadline day, it's only natural that we dissect the best moves of the summer. As West Ham celebrate an historic win at Anfield, it's been said that the result was bigger than their play-off final victory...really? But it got us thinking about other matches that have been huge for fans despite no silverware to follow. Finally we have a bit of fun in the light of James Milner's Twitter alter-ego, @BoringJamesMilner - which other football stars are certain to send you to sleep?

The Offside Rule 2015/16 Episode 2 Aug 20, 2015

Show notes

Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper are joined by podcast regular Mina Rzouki on episode 2 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!) of 2015-16. We're not finished making our early season predictions, so this week we predict our players to provide the most assists, our top goalscorer and hand out our Golden Glove nominations. Rising up the football leagues is proving ever more prosperous and pays enough to bring back financially floundering clubs back from the brink; we look at clubs who were teetering on disaster but are now on the up. Our Friday nights could be changed forever as the Premier League joins Friday night football and it got us thinking about unusual places, situations of times where we've watched football - the sillier the better!
