  • Great show… but Saturday!

    Love fighting talk and listened for years…. Please please please release on a Saturday - even if it is pre recorded! Let’s pretend it is a radio show and the wait is necessary until it’s released on a Saturday….not Friday!

  • Once great show gone bad

    With Colin Murray this was great. Rick is not funny and he isn’t even doing it live. Too many dull guests do not help but overall it is time to put this show out of its misery unless they change the host

  • Rick Edwards 🤦‍♀️

    I have always listened to this podcast and never missed an episode. However since Colin left it has been hard going. Rick Edwards just can’t cut it. His inane chatter and lack of sporting knowledge really brings the show down. The banter between panellists is the only thing that keeps me listening. I have even contemplated deleting it. Find a decent host to save this show please.

  • New format

    Started to listen in again now that Colin Murray has left. Rick is a good replacement.
