Pint of Football

Did you hear the one about Byron Moreno? 'In The Mix' is back once again as Daz and Tom challenge each other to come up with a crazy footballing story for every nation in the world.

It's not like Bob to get into bother but since he's been spending time with the Republican Rabbits manager, a man who attracts more trouble than an episode of 'Caribbean Cops', he's certainly not been shy of a controversy or two. Last week he went too far in Aruba and serves a suspension for his actions over in South America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Is there anything worse than groundhoppers?

After a poor result last weekend Tom's Republican Rabbits side were back at Palo Park in familiar territory as they welcomed the bottom club Bajan Boppers to the Dominican Republic. Knowing that his side have been inconsistent so far with three wins and two defeats from their opening five, he needed a big result before jetting off next week to Bermuda.

Believe it or not, Tom is banned from the fifth match of the season and is unable to take up his spot in the Republican Rabbits dugout for a tough away day in St Kitts. Something tells me that his suspension for comments made the previous week won't stop him travelling with the squad though and I'm sure he'll still manage to leave his mark in some way or another.

The big question is, will this side be any more tolerable than his others? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.co...

The 100% record may have ended, but the key for any good manager is how they respond.
