Brighton Rock Podcast

Pete, Andy B & Russell makes three but Albion’s away day crew at The Cottage couldn’t make three (points) of their own as it ended goalless by The Thames, keeping the nerves jangling.

In Part 2 they were delighted to welcome Fulham bloggers Jacqui and Lorraine aboard to preview the big kick off on Wednesday night at The Cottage and then...

In Part 3 the five of them cast a quick glance at some of the week’s other footy stories for good measure.

This week’s Cliche Of The Week is “a ‘smart’ save”!

Russ & Pete are joined by one of the nicest guys in footy supporterdom! Saints fan (but also champion of the little clubs) Mat Guy, to preview the big kick off - in front of real fans! - at The Amex on Monday night and to explain how he came to travel to such random corners of the country as Accrington, Darlington and ‘Exeter on a Tuesday night!’ to watch games NOT involving his beloved Saints and to write books about it all!!


We also take a predictable but altogether compulsory swipe at Millwall racists!

We also take some time to discuss Klopp’s rant fests, Grealish’s dive fests, Henry’s West Ham and more.

Klopp had the Blues after his team were held to a draw down by the coast, amidst ‘controversial’ VAR calls, or so the painfully skewed media would have you believe. Here at Brighton Rock Towers we’re more grounded in reality and know the decisions, although marginal in some cases, were the correct calls and they allowed Albion to collect a thoroughly deserved point.

Andys Bravery and Knott joined hosts Peter and Russell to explain why and to also look back on the career of the recently departed footballing genius that was Diego Maradona and to look over the FA Cup news, club ticketing plans and some other stuff!

After a quick chat about last week’s FA Cup 1st Round games and via Robin’s little daughter making a spontaneous debut on the show, we switched our attention to the big debate, the most important of our time.....who are the absolute biggest sh*thouse players of all time?! The pantomime villains we all love to hate. The wind-up merchants, the cheats and agent provocateur characters of our beautiful (but also underhanded, snidey and outrageous) game!

***THIS EPISODE, RATHER UNSURPRISINGLY IMHO, CONTAINS SOME SWEARING. I mean we are talking about the devil that owns Bury FC and about South American footballers’ shenanigans after all!***
