  • Great Listen!

    I’ve been listening to a lot of English language, Italian Football Podcasts, and have finally found my favourite! It’s concise, amusing and doesn’t outstay its welcome. Plus, it’s nice that someone else feels my pain that is Fiorentina!

  • Great Guys!

    As a Scottish person who loves Italian football this is great for me. It’s great to listen to two guys who are supporters of particular clubs and can share their frustration along with classic Scottish humour.

  • My weekly fix

    My weekly fix for Calcio news, with two guys from Scotland with Italian names :-)

    I assume they are my cousins, as apparently my mom’s last name derives from Rinaldi.

    I’m sorry, but I want Venezia to get demoted, only for more Serie B coverage - but if they stay, it’s still great entertainment.

    how did y’all come to support different teams? Do you support teams in Scotland?

    Grazie mille,

    Eddie
