  • PRS25 = best football pod going

    I’ve listened to a fair few football podcasts in the last 15 years or so. Many are serviceable. Some are even good. None are as vital as this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ian Byrne on *The* Hillsborough Law
Q: What is the core aim of the Hillsborough Law as discussed by Ian Byrne?
The core aim is to create a statutory duty of candor for public officials, enforceable with criminal sanctions, to ensure truth-telling in inquiries and prevent cover-ups, while also delivering parity of arms for bereaved families in accessing legal remedies.
The League Table of Genocide Complicity
Q: Why do you think legacy media hasn't covered this as much as other sportswashing topics?
There's a combination of inertia, perceived political risk, and a potentially uncomfortable alignment between business interests and powerful clubs, which leads to silence or downplaying of the issue despite clear evidence in the UN databases and other human rights sources.
The League Table of Genocide Complicity
Q: Can you talk to us about the league table of complicity and how you determined the rankings?
We counted the presence of sponsors across five documented categories—destruction of Palestinian homes for settlements, tech support for genocide and apartheid, and enabling through fuel or finance—using five trusted databases, then tallied which companies sponsor which clubs to identify the most complicit names, with Liverpool highlighted as the club with the most problematic sponsors.
Football for Palestine?
Q: What legal avenues exist if a club punishes fans or staff for anti-Zionist expressions?
The Equality Act can be invoked to argue associative or direct discrimination, with cases like Mark Bonnick illustrating potential protections for anti-Zionist beliefs as a matter of core identity, though outcomes depend on proving the relationship to employment or club representation.
Football for Palestine?
Q: Why is football an appropriate arena for Palestine advocacy and solidarity?
Because football is a deeply rooted, culturally powerful space that unites people across backgrounds, making it an effective platform for public conscience and pressure on clubs and authorities to take principled stands.
