  • Love the podcast but..

    Love the show lads. One of my consistent listens every week as I love the game and the insight yous give. However.. how are yous over 100 episodes in and RDF still hasn’t got to grips with it being a 3 person podcast. It’s not one of his YouTube videos. Please stop butting in over the top of the other two guys mid thought and let them finish their train of thought before offering your own view. I get sometimes you will want to add in to their thought, but constantly shouting over the top of them... more

  • Needs an editor

    Completely unprepared, latest episode sees them fumble over how to describe women’s football. Enough content for 20 mins, but takes an hour. Someone find them an editor.

  • Not what it used to be

    Used to listen weekly but now I can’t tolerate it. Tony is good but the others just jump in over to top of each other constantly. I really don’t know how RDF has managed to land a job as a podcast host. Will give it another shot when the new game comes out, hopefully Tony will have new cohosts, would be great if he could get Ian Macintosh like the original show.

  • Show Being Held Back

    After months of debating whether to write this, the latest episode with Steve Sidwell has led me to voicing my opinion.

    Arron has to go! He is holding this show back in large part due to always talking over people and chiming in with stories/information that are unrelated,seemingly lead nowhere or are just plain not funny despite Arron laughing his head off after.

    It’s a real shame because the addition of Si has improved the show so much and the chemistry between him and TJ is great but Arron do... more
