Back again for epsiode 17 and we are joined by the one and only Mr Gary Capps. 'Cappo' is renowned across the county for his man-management and passion for football. He gives his views on how football has changed over the years and how it reflects a breakdown in society. Luke and Wayne also discuss the incidents from the weekend involving Arsenal and Liverpool and also discuss the recent episode with Ian Rathbone and how they are starting to implement it into practice.

This week we have the pleasure of being joined by IAN RATHBONE. A legend in Northants refereeing circles, he offers advice and thoughts around being a successful match official. He delves into mindset and how that 1% can make a massive difference. You do not want to miss this episode! Ian worked his way up from playing local football to officiating in the Football League. He talks about desire, dedication and self-improvement. A remarkable chat.

Phoebe Horner followed in the footsteps of her father in taking up the whistle. Following rapid progression, she now finds herself at Level 4 on the male pathway. However, she is also smashing through the female pathway which led to refereeing in front of 6000+ spectators at AFC Bournemouth recently. Find out here what the experience was all about!

We train a lot physically but do we train mentally? We are joined for a very interesting chat by Ady Brawn, a sports psychologist who discusses what we need to do to mentally prepare for match and game situations. He offers advice on a range of different techniques that can be used to our benefit! Have a listen and let us know what you think!

What can we do about youth football and what does it take to organise everything that goes into it? We speak to club secretary Nick 'Stan' Inwood and NDYAL Referee Secretary Chris Rowland. They discuss the issues they have found within youth football and consider how they think things can be changed. We also discuss the incidents from the past week .

This week we discuss all the major incidents from the weekend and even disagree with some of them! Our special guest this week is the one and only Wayne Bright who talks us through his progression from referee to observer. What is even more special is that in between this, Wayne had a cardiac arrest and 'died' for 50 minutes. Luckily, his son and the local nurse saved his life and with the support of his wife Natalie, he is back in the game. An inspirational story!

We are back for episode 11 and we are joined by our friends from the NPTN podcast! Sam and Jordan talk to us about football, refereeing and announce that we will be joining their new radio show on Shire Sounds! Exciting news!

Episode 10 sees us welcome Aaron Lloyd who is the new co-lead of NFA Core. He talks us through how it is to be on there and the commitment needed alongside the support that is on offer. We also look at the level of local football and whether the promotion scheme is fair. Harley Collyer also has a go at the quiz. Can she save the reputation of the NFA?

A packed episode for you to listen to this week. All of the usual debate around the weekend's decisions and then we are joined by STUART BURT who will be talking to us all about training, preparation and mental health in football. A really interesting chat about what goes into being a Premier League official. Oh. And we have some bloke called Gavin McFarlane.
