St Clement's midfielder Mark Logue joins us this week to talk about all things Jersey football. It was great to get a player's perspective on the game and how things have changed over the years. Hear him pick the most Italian Catenaccio inspired Muratti 5-aside team you will have ever heard.

Sparky also talks about his venture; The Next Step Agency and the opportunities he is helping identify for young players in Jersey. A great initiative which is getting bigger and bigger. 

Robbie responds to the first complaint we have ever received about the podcast.

Robbie and Andy are on their own this week due to a late scheduling clash leaving their planned guest double booked. Not to worry though, they still review the last week in Jersey football including a discussion around St Paul's return to the Jeremie Cup following their previous banishment. Andy recounts those events in a rather forthright manner. No danger of any fences being damaged by him sitting on them

The lads discuss the story of the podcast so far. Their expectations v the reality of it and also the response from the Jersey football public. Robbie discusses his time playing for Jersey and being part of a Muratti squad before picking, by a distance, the most aggressive Muratti 5 aside team we've had so far.

We look ahead to the next week of football in Jersey including the fantastic Sylvia Spinola Memorial Cup games on Sunday.

Andy and Robbie were joined by Jersey Women's Football legend Libby Barnett. 

Libby tells us all about her career in Jersey football, including a fantastic account of winning gold at the home Island Games. She talks of her great optimism for the direction the women's game is going and her role within that both as a coach at Jersey Wanderers and as a part of the JFA board.

We talk about the Farnham Town model and the approach by their owner, Harry Hugo and how his recognition of the opportunity could lead to a different approach in growing the women's game. Robbie and Andy thoroughly enjoyed their chat with Libby and we're sure you'll enjoy hearing her insight.

Robbie and Andy take a look back at busy week in Jersey football including a fantastic week for the Jersey Bulls. Robbie gives his take on an interview given by the Sittingbourne FC manager. It's fair to say he's a long way from sitting on the fence on that one. The issue with Jersey Active's failure to provide floodlighting at Les Quennevais reared its head again

2023/24 Jersey Referee of the Year Harry Walker gave a fantastic insight into football from the referee's perspective which many will undoubtedly find educational as well as providing a great overview of what could be in store in Premiership 2 this season.

If you have any feedback or there is anyone you would like to see on the pod, use the 'Send us a Text' feature at the top of these show notes. 

Some great games in store this week which are sure to be entertaining and eventful. Get along and support local football, particularly as there is no Jersey Bulls game this weekend.

Robbie and Andy were joined by Tim Pryor to discuss his first years as the CEO of the Jersey FA. Hear from him about the challenges he has faced with the shortage of facilities and the plans they are putting in place to resolve the issue. We also discussed potential changes to some of Jersey's cup competitions and how they are looking to grow the girls and women's game on the island.

We would like to thank Tim for his willingness to discuss any topic, nothing was off limits, and we could easily have spoken for another hour. A part 2 to this pod may well come in the future as there were loads of great discussions. Enjoy!

Andy and Robbie are joined this week by former JFA Vice President and architect of The Jersey International Football Tournament which from 1999-2005 was one of the highlights in the Jersey football calendar. Fans on the island were able to watch the likes of Manchester Utd, Barcelona, Benfica and Rangers to name but a few, in an on-island tournament. A number of World Cup, European Championship and Champions League winners graced the pitch at Springfield, and we hear all about it from the man who made it happen.

Ian has been watching Muratti's for a few decades and his Muratti 5-aside team is a little different from those who have gone before.

As always, we look at results and events in the last week as well as looking forward to next week.
