Episodes

If England win the Euros, I'll wear their jersey! 04.06.2021 45:03

Cosgrove's 50th birthday may have gotten a mention or two, but so did Paul Newman, Robert Redford and N'Golo Kanté. Naturally.

Don't think and talk at the same time, John. 28.05.2021 49:23

John got mocked for his accent. Quinno returned from up north. And Bob Dylan turned 80. Sounds like the ingredients for a show!

There I was...on the goal line! 21.05.2021 42:42

Two topics guaranteed to make Cosgrove's head explode are Maggie Thatcher and the Hall of Fame concept. They're both in this show. You've been warned.

Put that away. Never let me see it again. 14.05.2021 45:57

Sausage rolls are the perfect food. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a pantomime villain. And football is still the best way to get thirsty. Words to live by,

Once the whistle blows, the red mist descends. 07.05.2021 51:40

John was a little nervous. Quinno was a little embarrassed. And Ruben Diaz was compared to Willie Young. High praise indeed

We measure time now in pints! 30.04.2021 45:30

The boys were back at Brit's Pub. Producer Jonathan was back pressing the buttons. It was show #250 and all was well with the world. Sort of.

Turn away now if you're a traditionalist. 22.04.2021 56:09

12 jurors did the right thing. 12 football club owners did the wrong thing. And José Mourinho was a mere footnote. Some week.

I'd rather look at a field of cows. 15.04.2021 47:00

Try finding another podcast that covers authoritarian policing, yard work, football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrrr, and cows. Actually, don't bother; just listen to this one.

You're playing up front and your middle name is Poncey. 08.04.2021 45:00

Wolves are a Portuguese Wimbledon. Norwich are coming up. And there's only so much you can do with a shuttlecock. Listen and learn.

You have to acknowledge the sins of the past 01.04.2021 47:57

John's not a big fan of the wind, and Quinno was never good enough to ponce. Sounds like your kind of show, right?

This is the season of the hat. 25.03.2021 45:13

Fashion, films, finance, football. It may seem like this week's show should get an F, but we think it's an A+. Mind you, that gag definitely gets a F.

I only know Gaelic when it suits me. 16.03.2021 39:42

It's the week of St Patrick's Day, which is the holiest week of the year for Cosgrove. Was it discussed in this week's serving of futbol, culture and craic? Oh goodness me, yes!

Frank Sinatra is not singing in the background. 11.03.2021 43:34

John was fired up about Rangers and Royals...Quinno was perplexed by the term 'commoner'...and they were both bothered by Roy Keane. But, really, who isn't?

I don't want to be the arbiter of what's a big one. 03.03.2021 40:08

The Crafty Rogues welcomed March with another thoughtful, considered look at world events. As if! It was basically just futbol, culture, and craic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm an accent waiting to happen. 25.02.2021 38:07

The Perseverance Rover was bought at IKEA, and Seamus Coleman is from Killybegs. These are facts. Listen and learn.

I am King of the Craic! 18.02.2021 39:43

Cosgrove gave himself a new title. Quinno talked about facial reconstruction. Plus there was chat about futbol, rugby, and Billy Crystal. Tasty stuff

That's what we call a Tommy Tiernan pause! 11.02.2021 46:53

Scott McTominay is not a Belgian name. There's nothing like lifting a cup. Gin helps everything. Listen and learn.

Choppy, choppy, not so goody. 04.02.2021 42:27

What do the Bee Gees, Sarah Ferguson, Anthony Martial, Tommy Tiernan, and Garth Brooks have in common? They're all featured in this week's show. Seriously...all of 'em.

Come on feel the Moyes! 28.01.2021 50:23

Any show that contains observations about Sean Dyche, Tom Brady, and the My Pillow guy is well worth a listen. This is one of those shows.

We signed Berndt Ennz from Schalke! 21.01.2021 43:00

It's a new day in America, but it's just another night in the Crafty Rogues Studio. That's actually a good thing. Seriously.

It's not like this is being recorded! 14.01.2021 44:04

We're not in normal times and normal things shouldn't be happening. That sums up this week's show quite nicely.

This revolution is being televised. 07.01.2021 43:42

It was meant to be a standard, garden variety Crafty Rogues show. Events in Washington DC ensured that it was that, plus a whole lot more!

The world has been on pause. 31.12.2020 55:36

There was a lot to unpack and an unprecedented amount of pivoting as the boys and Phil Mackey looked back at 2020. No clichés, though.

This isn't the last big grift. 24.12.2020 45:44

The boys were in full festive mode as they defied a blizzard to solve the mystery of Roberto Firmino's teeth. There was other stuff too, but mainly Bobby Firmino's teeth!

The spirit of the times is John Powers 17.12.2020 43:28

Sam Allardyce has a job. William Barr doesn't. Wolves are chippy choppy, choppy changey. And 'zeitgeist' is hard to say. Funny, though.
