    Sunday League set-piece routines, the "olé" threshold & mistimed minute's applauses: The listeners' loves & hates
    Nov 28 2024
    Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations. Among the selections are free-kick decoy duties in Sunday League, predicting the moment the "olés" are about to start as a team sees out a comfortable win, the delicate act of picking balanced teams for 5-a-side, football's vandalism of the word "decimated", minute's applause that begin in the wrong minute and playing the ball off the wall at Powerleague.

  • 5.54 seconds of away-goal confusion, footballers in US T-junctions and the official Keys & Gray app

    5.54 seconds of away-goal confusion, footballers in US T-junctions and the official Keys & Gray app
    Nov 26 2024
    Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: A new world record for away fans slowly realising their team has scored, Mark Schwarzer ties himself in chronological knots, Martin Keown lavishes himself with the highest footballing praise, famously unfriendly footballers’ names in American T-junctions and Keys & Gray’s ill-fated 2011 bid to break into the app market. Meanwhile, the panel ponder how many consecutive Manchester City defeats it would take for Pep Guardiola to be sacked.

  • The Bosman legacy, optimum camera angles & double saves, with Luke Moore

    The Bosman legacy, optimum camera angles & double saves, with Luke Moore
    Nov 21 2024
    The pod welcomes Football Ramble podcast supremo Luke Moore for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks, as he chooses his six personal fascinations and irritations of football. Among Luke's selections are the early signs of a game turning into a comprehensive thrashing, the physical attributes of a classic double save, a controversial choice for the best camera angle for a penalty, the highly unnecessary admin-theatre of both teams setting up for a free kick, the demise of calling free transfers "a Bosman" and people whose footballing enthusiasm extends no further than their own team. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel - featuring returning legend Doc Brown - react to a Paraguayan football take on "hang it in the Louvre!", reflect on the quirks of Sky's mid-2000s PlayerCam innovation and unanimously condemn the word "thunderbastard".

Top notch content!

Great to have the pod back, and with an unchanged lineup! New listeners in for a treat

Quality Podcast

What's not to like? I'm glad they've restarted on here, I've been a long time listener on Google Podcasts... for my sins.

Amazing to have the pod back

great to have an unchanged adjudication panel- but the new cover doesn’t look great. Loving it so far.
