Play Up Podcast - Portsmouth Football Club Discussion

Roll Up, Roll up! Get your weekly dose of Pompey Therapy here.

Welcome to the Play Up Podcast with Scott Mclachlan and the gang, Kim, Reece, Adam and Simon.

Inside this episode it's fair to say there is anger and disappointment at Sundays result but whatever the result there is only one Team in Hampshire that continues to show their class.

Alarmingly loud goal music? Lines of flag wavers? Chubby Corner? There is plenty for Pompey Fans to crow about and boy do we do so even after raking over the burnt embers of our Derby dreams.

Two games, two different results but the same problems? Just who is to blame? Kim is not pulling any punches.

It's busy 2 weeks til Halloween, can Pompey spook the opposition and frighten them into giving us Treats and not Tricks?

We will see. Enjoy this weeks episode!

Pompey Fans are split, this is either the best weekend of the Football Calendar or the worst! Are you suffering from (SCDA) South Coast Derby Anxiety?

Well we here at the Play Up Podcast can sooth your fears and pump up your enthusiasm for Sundays game in equal measure.

We discuss the Bubble arrangements and its impact on the Derby and Phil supplies his usual high quality quiz based on modern clashes.

What's your favourite Derby day? We tell our stories of previous clashes and offer up our favourite memories, good and bad.

Are we going to win at St Marys for once? See if you agree with the Pod panel about what we hope for Sunday.

If you're travelling to the game, STAY SAFE! And please being back three points and any pictures of crying Scummers. Thank you

With defenders dropping like flies, are we facing the prospect of Pack at the Back once again? Was his emergency use in the heart of Pompey's defence really as shaky as we remember?

Welcome once again to the Play Up Podcast, Scott is joined by Phil and Adam to make sense of the Blackburn game and assess where the Pompey squad are just 7 games in.

Did Bishop mean the finish off his chest? Or was it pure fluke? Either way we are delighted for him to get that monkey off his back but we really hope Marezi is fit soon!

We play the Darts game once more, this time on Pompey goal-scorers and Adam does a deep (really rabbit hole deep) dive into who is our No1 keeper based on XGOT.

Find out what the hell that means and much more by lending your ears to us for 40 mins.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the half-century Pod with host Scott Mclachlan and guests Simon, Kim and Reece.

It's a significant milestone in the life of the Play Up Podcast and we look back to the Charlton game and discuss whether a point was enough. We also form a small Milli Ali support group after the merciless abuse directed at him at the Valley.

As we go into a very long International break Simon looks at the state of the League so far and we also play the Darts quiz looking at Pompey players International caps.

Who will start up front for Blackburn, will the mis-firing Bishop get yet another chance? A win would put Pompey comfortably mid-table and who could be unhappy with that?

We're looking forward to the next 50 Pods, I'd like to thank all contributors past and present and we hope you keep listening.

Play Up Pompey!

Well....The Cardiff game was a cracker and we don't just mean the right hander Christian Bielik deservedly received.

Welcome to the latest Play Up Podcast episode with host Scott Mclachlan who is joined by Phil Sandys and Adam Hatton.

Pace and Power was on display at Fratton Park on Saturday as Pompey got their first home win, we discuss (and take cheeky credit) what worked well to get us the 3 points. We also ponder whether to donate to a Referees charity, Refsupport. Find out if we do or take the piss instead?

We cover the off-pitch events which ended in a knockout decision against Christian Bieilk, and rightly we sincerely hope the lad invovled is being supported by PFC correctly.

Looking ahead to playing one of our traditional rivals in Charlton on Saturday, can we do the double again this season? Could our dodgy tickers stand another 96th minute winner?

Pop us in your ears and Enjoy!

With the very sad news of Alan Knights death on Tuesday the Podcast team remember The Legend's career and their personal stories of the man. All of us on the Play Up Podcast offer our condolences to Alan's family and friends and they are in our thoughts.

We cover the Bristol and Derby defeats, it's fair to say that all of us are frustrated with both results and with John Mousinho. There are so many problems with Pompey's game at the moment and we try and cover them all and offer up some solutions.

Has 4-2-3-1 had its day? Why do Pompey play so slowly? Why doesn't any player get to the by-line and cross? Listen and see if you agree with our answers.

We look forward to Saturday and the game against Cardiff, where there will be a terrific send-off for Alan and the opportunity to reboot our stalling season.

We hope you enjoy this weeks Pod. Play Up Pompey!

Welcome once again to this weeks edition of the Play Up Podcast with host Scott Mclachlan and with excellent contributions from Simon, Phil and Reece

Pompey picked up 3 points on the road at the first attempt this season with a fine win against newly Promoted Lincoln City and with the help of "Young" Marlon Pack and Segecic's Hammer.

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen became Pompeys youngest ever goalscorer and unlike Count Binface, Abu Kamara has finally resolved a long-running right wing problem in PO4.

We look ahead, in trepidation, to the trip to Bristol City. What kind of Pompey will turn up this season? Hopefully one that tries at least. Also

Pompey havn't beaten Derby in a long time, so it's about time we did next Tuesday at Fratton Park.

If you're off to Victorious, have a great weekend and lets hope Pompey bring back 3 points from Ashton Gate.

Play Up Pompey!

Welcome back to the Play Up Podcast with host Scott Mclachlan who is this week joined by Phil, Kim and Simon.

Pompey kicked off the new season with a disappointing loss at home to QPR and we discuss it at length.

Was it the uncommanding and uncommunicating defence? The massive hole in midfield left by General Histrionics? Or can we throw Colby Bishop under the bus for being a crap Captain?

At least there were positives in the second half from the subs who came on, especially the 17 year old Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.

We look ahead to Saturday and the trip to Lincoln, can Pompey get their season back on track with a win?

Let's keep everything crossed, Play Up Pompey!

Yes, this is where the season really starts, not with the Moose Cup or whatever the League Cup is called these days.

Join host Scott Mclachlan who is ably assisted by no less than five collaborators in this bumper Season Launching Pod.

Phil, Kim, Simon, Reece and Adam all discuss what may or may not happen this season, who will go up and down and who they really

want to do the Double over.

We cover the West Ham game, but really, who cares?

Phils Quiz is in honour of Abu Kamara and is about players having two spells at Pompey, can you guess who they are from their career?

Then we preview QPR this weekend and whether Pompey can start with three points and maintain a top half place?

It's a cracker, please enjoy!

Welcome again to the latest episode of the Play Up Podcast with host Scott Mclachlan and our European contributors, Adam and Simon.

First up we get a flavour of the Darmstadt weekend and friendly, over a thousand Pompey fans made the trip and saw a decent run out between two good teams.

We look forward to the first competitive game of the season, a first round League Cup game away at West Ham with 9000 tickets sold and it should be a typical Pompey away trip to the Smoke.

Will Pompey progress to the second round? With West Ham in disarray it could be the perfect chance to capitalize in the Capital.

Abu Kamara is on his way back!  He may have already signed by the time you listen to the Pod but will he be any good? Is the right wing problem FINALLY solved?

All this and more is discussed, we hope you enjoy!
