What football podcasts/shows do you usually watch?

Still have hundreds of VHS videos of 'The World Game ' Sunday afternoons 6 hour football extravaganza on lil'ol2%SBS...

Watch them all the time. Beats the modern stuff..
Serie A in the 90s with Palumbo and Orsati ... what a time to be a football fan eh?

Its a long shot, but if you can figure a way to post some of the TWG footage from then on hear you'd make this little old man very happy. Remember the 3 minute feature player "montage" at the end of every TWG show....
 
I have a bunch of old sbs footage. I should really upload it onto YouTube one day so it’s not lost forever. Ranging from NSL games, on the ball, 1993 world youth championships etc.

One game I do have that I haven’t seen anywhere else is Marconi’s 7-0 victory over South Melbourne in a final.

Golden Boys on World game etc being Mike Hill, Les Murray, Johnny Warren, Andy Paschalidis, Paulo Williams & the late great Mike Cockerall.

I can't watch or listen to anything with Simon Hill in it. His voice really does sound funny, not his accent but his voice. It's like he's got something stuck up his nose all the time and it's restricting his ability to speak properly.
His monotone
 
Hill is OK but he needs the sidekick to rattle or offset his same tone on tone.
Not frigging Harper - he bores me more than Hill ever would and makes me cringe.
Fozz, woke, political correctness etc just isn't suitable for football outlook.
Many of you new dawns didn't like Bozza/Slater, well there the types that bring some spice to the party.

Hill definitely needs a bit of a loose unit next to him. Hill fills the role of the professional announcer. Knows all of the players names, knows plenty of stats, accurately describes what is happening at any given moment, etc. Nothing wrong with any of that, he's great at it. However, when you add someone that has a bit of a sense of humour and some great little stories and anecdotes to pepper in during the slower parts of a game it makes a big difference. I always kinda liked Ned Zelic for that. He always had good stories like playing in the EPL and making zero money coz he spent all of it, but he'd also offer a bit of off-the-cuff play analysis here and there. Paramount have definitely steered away from those sorts of characters.

yep correct, the ying yang.
Thats it Ned, imo he's the joker as is Bozza but they also make some good points - some not haha but you can live with that.
Every lead comm needs the side kick, Hill is the serious one with all the right intel, you need this as you quoted but man when Harper is with him I could chew my elbow off at times.
Archie is meh, Brosquey - he just seems uncomfortable tries hard but not convincing, poor Luke W just isn't good in front of the camera full stop.
McBreen, well he's ok but I wouldn't miss him.
Kudos to Tara, she holds them together.

I'll have to look into which of the new age podcasters are worth giving a go but won't be Rugari's thats for sure.

LFC, I think many don't like Bozza/Slater is because their analysis is stuck in the 1990s & early 2000s, we have moved on from kick & run football. They are dreadful.
I went to Auckland for a little holiday last weekend & was very impressed with the setup at Auckland FC.
Your Liverpool side looked good against Arsenal.
 
robbos, so by your 1st sentence that incls you/me and many of us fellow passionate wise ol supporters are behind the times as well ????
I can't agree mate - they also know times have changed.
Nah they are funny guys and like I said - they have good and bad points.
Maybe its the boomer background they came from youth don't like em lol....

Mate LFC, that must be hurting the banter your getting from your mates haha and your wife ?? :)
TBH away against a strong contender is always a massive challenge as we know and yep we took all they gave us but I wasn't that impressed by our overall play.
Awesum 2 come from behind goals thats for sure.
