The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 26 Mar 05, 2015

Show notes

The Offside Rule (We Get It!) is brought to you from Stamford Bridge this week, with Chelsea TV's Gigi Salmon hosting alongside Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay. Following Chelsea's win over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, we thought it was an apt setting and our first topic followed suit: Jose's best moments. Love him or hate him, you can't deny Jose Mourinho is one of a kind. From eggs to fighting with Big Sam, we reminisce on his highlights at Chelsea FC. Roger East had a less successful weekend, sending off Sunderland's Wes Brown for a foul committed by....John O'Shea. We take a look at some classic 'whoops!' moments in the world of football. Finally, which footballers have a body double in other sports? And no, we've taken a deviation from the obvious comparison between Tom Daley and Luis Suarez...

The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 25 Feb 26, 2015

Show notes

It's double trouble this week as Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay bring you The Offside Rule (We Get It!): episode 25. Following the British success stories in the Oscars this week, we dish out some more awards including Best Comedy and Best Romance...which managers puckered up pre-match? Sam Allardyce has recently said his side are "too honest" following Spurs' recent last-gasp equaliser, a penalty rebound scored by man of the moment Harry Kane. Big Sam said he didn't blame the striker but it got us thinking, who are the good honest men of football? Finally we revisit a popular topic from last season and look at surprising famous fans of English clubs; which Football League club does a world-famous ex-boxer support? Who has ended up playing a fan of their rival's club on the silver screen?

The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 23 Feb 12, 2015

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are here to bring you episode 23 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). We gave you our predictions of who would shine at the Africa Cup of Nations a couple of weeks ago and in the wake of the tournament, we look at who and what impressed us the most. Speaking of stars, after Jordan Ibe made a sensational Merseyside derby debut, we look at youngsters who burst onto the scene in style: who lived up to expectations and who flopped? Tottenham youngster Harry Kane has been setting the Premier League alight recently and Tottenham fans fondly chant "Harry Kane, he's one of our own" - but he was pictured in an Arsenal shirt when he was a youngster! Who else has ended up playing for a rival of the team they supported as a kid? The results might surprise you!

The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 22 Feb 05, 2015

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are back to bring you a Transfer Deadline Day special of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). It's certainly been a quiet and arguably dull January transfer window compared to previous seasons, but that doesn't mean there aren't some tasty deals - or failed deals - to dissect. We look at the clubs who've not taken advantage of the mid-season opportunity to shore up their squad, and at in-demand stars who've decided to stay at their clubs...for now. After Thierry Henry jokingly pledged to sign for QPR, we look at other legendary footballers who actually have come out of retirement, those who are considering it, and one proud parent who bowed out of his last game only to be replaced by his 5 year old son!

The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 21 Jan 29, 2015

Show notes

Hayley McQueen returns to join Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper on episode 21 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). Love it or hate it, the January transfer window is drawing to a close and we look at the best, worst and craziest January deadline day signings ever; can 2015 possibly top any of these? Big money signings are becoming younger, and we then discuss upcoming youngsters who have made the move this January, or are touted to make a big money move: who should you look out for? Finally, we take inspiration from in-form Tomáš Rosický, affectionately referred to as Little Mozart by his teammates, and look at other silly footballer nicknames. From The Wardrobe to Tarzan and One Size, we've got the weirdest and most wonderful nicknames you can imagine!

The Offside Rule 2014/15 Episode 20 Jan 22, 2015

Show notes

We're at the halfway point in the season as Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper bring you episode 20 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). To celebrate this milestone we're joined by a special guest, exec producer and football agent Jo Tongue, who gives us the gossip on what it's like to be a football agent; is it all really wheeling and dealing, and what's been her funniest moment with a client? In the wake of David Ginola's bid to challenge Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency this May, we play president and decide what we'd do if we were in charge of the football governing body - from boots to bad officiating, we'd sort it out! We also look at which football fans have the right to be disgruntled at the moment - our choices may just surprise you...

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are reunited for episode 19 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). From a Juan Mata jingle to racing managers around a horse track, we've got everything you need to cheer you up on a cold winter day! We're halfway through the season so it's time to make some predictions: who will nab the Champions League spots, get relegated from the Premier League and promoted from the Championship? Next, we look ahead to the Africa Cup of Nations and pick our up-and-coming stars. Finally, as if they don't have enough already, we send footballing stars on holiday; who needs to attend a meditation class in India and who have we sent to tear up Miami and make the headlines?
