  • Great stuff! Gerrriiiiiinn!

    Excellent fan insight from a couple of fans that have seen a lot of sights. I expect. Allegedly!!

    Also, as can happen as a fan actually around the game, sometimes there are more interesting (ridiculous) things to be talked about than just the game.

    And I wouldn’t mess with that Robo’ lad. I’ve heard about where he was brought up!! “Dangerous” according to the erudite Times newspaper .

    Thanks lads (I bet they won’t see this) so more importantly….

    If you’re thinking of trying this ‘cast, do so. ... more

    Get INNN!!

    Followed the two lads over from TWA, some of the best LFC footy and general chip chat in the biz. Robbo’s taste in music is impeccable, love the focus on the city as well even as a non-local.

    Keep it rockin boyos! YNWA
