Brilliant podcast. Regular short episodes that get you up to speed delivered with knowledge and insight. If you’re bored of the sub-par punditry in the men’s game, give this pod a go.
Thank you for adding special guest appearances that provide extra information, that go beyond the performance the game. The health conversations to agents and media consumption is great content. Thank you
The Offside Rule is THE standout women’s football podcast.
Lynsey and Tash bring expert analysis, humour, different perspectives from around the game, and look beyond the WSL and England itself.
The range of features (especially Tash’a scouting reports) is fabulous and their listener engagement is top notch.
This podcast is a must listen every week.
Great pod, taking us wider than the WSL with knowledge and passion
Too much positive talk about the US women’s team. Instead of roundly mocking Trumpland for choking and losing, we have to listen to some Yank spout off about arrogance being good. Not to mention the sugarcoating of the loss. This is a British podcast; I am sick of listening to the constant handjobbing of the Trumpland team. They lost. They are losers. Laugh at them. Or, better yet, ignore them. They are irrelevant.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
