Scholesy has been someone I’ve looked up to since I was a kid. I don’t think he realizes the weight of his words. It’s not just the comments about Carrick that was hurtful, but the fact that he tried to convince all of us that he didn’t mean it that way. Like we’re all just morons who will believe anything he says. He still holds a special place in my heart and always will, but I’m not going to support his platform anymore.
This is a really good insightful pod but Nicky just talks over the guests when they are mid story to talk about his own experience of whatever the guest is saying.
It’s just so sad. So so sad.
Although i’m a Newcastle and Carlisle fan, absolutely love the show. Manc lads need to pronounce their H’s though😂. Brilliant show👏👏👏
Three idiots talking nonsense. If that’s your thing, go for it.
