As the sun sets on this small period of time when we play football during summer, like a screaming schoolchild being grasped by the cold embrace of September, there are those who want it to be a footballing summer all the time. Obviously there's been some rather measured discourse online in reaction to these completely fresh suggestions and in the name of content we're talking about it. 

We also round up all those who just HAD to wait until the very moments of the Transfer Window and swap clubs on deadline day #Dramatic.

Northern Ireland revealed a new colour for their next away kit and feedback has been not an uproar at all, sure it's only a t-shirt maybe out of some old rubber, what could that do to annoy people?

In League action, Glentoran are wanting to prematurely party like it's 2009, Ballymena wonder is there anything worthy partying for and it isn't a Carrick party these days unless they score two goals - and at least one of them is a worldie.

The man making this podcast into the best two person party since the last Daft Punk rehearsal, is Cool FM sports reporter Gareth McCullough.

Clubs in need of some retail therapy have mere hours left to add a wantaway defender or a statement signing. 

We try to wade through the quagmire of hearsay, double source some transfer drama and speculate where some players could end up.

Linfield turned the biggest game in their history into a four day nightmare, how will they recover? Glenavon shock the Bannsiders, Newry shock Glenavon and Glentoran shock nobody by thumping the Ports on TV.

Stephen Looney jumps on board as co-captain this week, but sadly only on loan. He talks through the slate of games and shares a unique insight into the potential Crusaders takeover.

We discuss if in a new era of multiple full time teams are Irish League clubs are being financially responsible? What lessons can be learned from other leagues where teams faced financial meltdown, should fans be concerned and what are the warning signs they should be looking out for?

Gareth Hanna joins the pod to go through it all. Who looks like they've bossed the transfer window and who have emerged as serious title challengers?

GW2 Preview (1'02'20) 

It’s the second half of our NIFL Premiership season preview, and we’re coming out strong! Same line up and formation, but spurred on by your half time team talk via twitter.

We also enter treacherous waters of predicting results for GW1. Like buffalo chicken wings this pod is the best Starter you could ask for ahead of the Main Course that is the return of Irish League football.

The top tier of the Northern Irish football pyramid is set to return with 38 game weeks of rip roaring thrills that'll make Space Mountain feel like a trip down a slide. 

To get the fanbases excitedly overhyped and crushingly pessimistic all at the same time, your buds at Kicking Match are serving up a towering helping of club by club previews of the season ahead as our introduction into this podcasting game. 

We grabbed commentator and presenter Michael Clarke to join in as people actually trust what he has to say about football. 

And we also nabbed a chat with Newry City Fan and podcaster Ally McKenzie to help give us an inside track on how the Mournemen will fair this season, as if we're being honest we didn't watch a lot of their highlights last season but do need to know who's good from them for our fantasy team.

Running Order:

If your team isn't here, keep an eye out for Part 2.
