Malaga Insiders

A player dives in on the ball at the goalie’s arms at chest height and prods it home for a goal: you are the ref - what do you do? If you are Ocón Arraiz you give a goal, but what about the Guiricast? We talk about that 1-1 draw with Tenerife and that controversial equaliser. Plus, we are joined by Jordan of @FCCartagenaUK to talk about this Saturday’s Cartagena v Málaga game and discuss Ruben Castro, supporting Cartagena and even AFC Fylde. Expect the usual news too alongside some chat about our favourite Norwegian and Turkish players ahead of Norway v Turkey at La Rosaleda this weekend.

For only the second time this season, Málaga have won two games in a row...so are we getting greedy now and hoping for a third? For that third win to come, we need to beat Tenerife, so we were delighted to be rejoined by Tenerife-native Chris Todd of the Armada Sur to talk all things Málaga v Tenerife. Of course, we also look back on this past Sunday’s 1-0 win over Logroñés, although we end up spending more time talking about Pellicer’s substitutions rather than the game itself. Plus, we discuss our favourite Irish players (since we were recording on St. Patrick’s Day), our new striker and the possibility of fans being back in Spanish football stadiums before the end of the season.

It’s been a tough week for Málaga after a loss to Mirandes this past Monday; however, arguably the biggest loss came in the form of the injury to the team’s main goalscoring threat, Pablo Chavarria. Who will Málaga replace Chavarria with? And who better to see us through the stormy times than one half of the Storm Time podcast, David Wilcox, a Bristol Rovers fan and all-round intrepid groundhopper. David joins us to talk about his trip to Málaga in 2019, Bristol Rovers links to Málaga’s next opponents, Sabadell, and the bonkers 90s football cartoon The Hurricanes.

For our first ever Guiricast+ episode, we are joined by Ellis Platten of Away Days fame. Originally, Ellis agreed to join us to talk all things football shirts and to choose his top 3 Málaga shirts, but we delved into so much more. Leeds, Porto, groundhopping and the concept of supporting two teams were all discussed, plus much more, before we eventually made it on to talking about all things football shirts. There's a lot of love for Kelme shirts, tales of signed Messi shirts and does one of the Guiricasters own the most valuable shirts of them all?

Valentine’s Day evening proves to be not very fruitful for Málaga in Gijón, as they slump to another defeat . that is now one win in nine for the team, but was there more attacking intent than usual?

Málaga’s winless home streak continues as this weekend’s loss to Zaragoza now means it is four months without a win at La Rosaleda. We discuss what went wrong, while Alex suggests how his beloved Yeovil Town deal with these sort of situations. To get over more despair at La Rosaleda, Málaga head north to Gijón this upcoming weekend to take on Sporting and so we talk about the league’s current top goalscorer, Asturian cider, a 1982 Oscar winner and that time a Sporting legend got kidnapped.

As Ismael’s Instagram post read on the weekend, ‘No pain, no gain’ - this was referring to his head being bandaged up, but it could also refer to watching the painfully dull opening 91 minutes of Alcorcón v Málaga to then being rewarded with that winning goal in the 92nd minute. We look back over Málaga’s first league win of 2021, before looking ahead to our upcoming game at home against Real Zaragoza. There are also detours into discussing Sadiku in Bolivia, Jesé Rodriguez’s career, more La Liga YouTube commentator chat and Matt’s newfound love of the wonderfully-named Dutch footballer Jizz Hornkamp.

La Rosaleda continues to be a broken home for Málaga, as we look back on another home loss - this time a 2-0 loss to Ponferradina. We try to work out what wrong and question do Málaga need to start worrying about ‘Doing a Numancia’ yet. We also delve into the virtual world this week, as we get to chat with Málaga’s very own professional FIFA Player, Pablo Naveiras AKA ‘Brutaker’ about the life of a pro FIFA player. We return to the real world to look ahead to Málaga’s upcoming game against Alcorcón and we were delighted to be joined by ‘the lad who puts the Cork in Alcorcón’, Alex O’Brien, to talk all things Alcorcón.
