The Sceptical England Fans Podcast - Euros Final Post Match Phone In

Kevin joins us from Scotland and talks about “that Barry Endean goal” and Pete invents a player called Ron Wigg when he meant Ray Lugg who crossed the ball for that famous goal. Kevin gives us some first-hand reports of how Pollock got on and was very well considered during his time at Aberdeen and we discuss Meils point about having to replace the qualities Mattie does have. We get an update on St Johnstone and start the debate as to what Scottish team (excluding the Old Firm) the podcast should (sort of) follow! The debate will rage or splutter on!! Chris joins us and immediately side steps the “which Scottish team should we adopt” debate like Chakvetadze avoids right backs – Chris sees the positives in a performance against that whilst much changed have confidence and a good way of playing in the saints and is balanced in his views that whilst the subs did not work, the performances of Asprilla, Chak and Martins were huge positives against strong opposition. We speak to Alan who enjoyed both the game and the bunker (make a late timed run to the bar!), despite fitness Alan sees reasons for optimism about Dennis and then asks why we didn’t see more from Pollock before his transfer request? Alans Scottish team suggestion is “Auchinleck Talbot”- eclectic as ever Alan!!! Dylan joins us asking can Pollock transfer that performance to the league and if so – don’t let him go!! Pete asks if Dennis coming in helped push Yasser, Giorgi, and Mattheus today? We do the five word reviews before Mal joins us from the “North West Cheese Express” who were gutted as they thought they had a local jaunt to Anfield to look forward to before the Saints equalizer, then we head into the long forms including other suggestions for Scottish teams to adopt, pausing only to hear from Gary and finish with a WFC Limerick!! Thank you as always to everyone who calls in, leaves reviews, sends messages and updates and of course those who chose to listen to the rambling shambles that we call the post-match phone in! If you think you might like to call in sometime – please do, and if you don’t – no worries – its just lovely that your all here. COYH!

PART ONE Rich is pleased with the performance but, in what would become a theme – frustrated that we didn’t take our chances when presented. Neal thinks a win at St Mary’s is inevitable and then we’ll be off to Anfield to finish Klpp’s FA Cup ambitions. Chip Shop Terry wonders if the wingers coming off was the wrong move for the match. Brett having sat with Pete during the game and discuss what was so good but where it went wrong with the substitutions and a first sight of Dennis shows us that he is going to need to get up to speed PDQ! Wendover as always is keen to see us do some business in the transfer window to build on a very solid foundation of a team. Neil joins us and asks the question – what will it cost us to recruit a player who ca play at the level we saw from Pollock today? COYH!

Yes we're finally finishing!!! Hooray!!! Pete talks about the Spanish Tax charges and we talk about the investors linked via the Athletic, before we finish in the shambolic manner that has become our hallmark (with Carl wanting to eat and go to the toilet - its an odd USP for a podcast we do grant you!).

A range of questions were asked, debated and then probably no answer really given! Subjects include Watford players presenting Homes Under the Hammer, Half men and half goats again (entirely the fault of Barry and Carls 50 mile conversation), Jam & crumpets plus Justin nearly burns down a hotel, defecating inside football grounds, Chocolate Brownies again, whatever happened to "Harry's 50/50, whatever happened to Harry's wife?, Half time entertainment Hunger Games or Gladiators. A master plan to dress the entire stadium as stewards and watch the puzzlement ensue, Pete's memories of Pans People and then Jamie's amazing list of questions which elicit long walks to games, Players in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Wolly in the Brolly, Hamer's diving when the goal has already been scored and why we like it, Tony Bennett, Mohamed Ali and Bob Hope make the first 11! At the end we almost stray onto talking about football - we're very sorry - it wont happen again! Thank you so much to all who engage with all this: you know its nonsense, we know it's nonsense - frankly that's the way we like it! COYH!

We explain why we held on to the rumour until it broke elsewhere about the return of the mercurial Emmanuel Dennis. A polarizing figure for sure some will be wary of his reputation others will remember what he did in the first half of the season with us and others will remember the second half of the season he was with us. We also talk about Louza and Healey departing and ask will we be getting better value for money (if the rumours are true that Dennis is dropping his wages by 70% then we sure suspect the answer will be yes. Justin adds a level of healthy scepticism. COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.

Carl, Justin and Peter ended up chatting about a range of subjects for a long long time, so we thought we would put out a series of mini pods so you get to chose what topics you want to hear about. We start with a an update on the Stewarding and Matchday Experience from nearly two weeks ago and Carl's take (as he was at the meeting but not available for our previous podcast) and our reactions to the experiences that listeners have told us about since that podcast. Pete re-iterates that "there are good people at the club" and we wait and watch for news to come from the club in due course. COYH!

After a couple of false starts we get to speak to Kevin living in Scotland who had been to Airdrie vs St Johnstone who gives us a report Dan Phillips now at St Johnstone and is immediately given Ambassador status for Scotland and gives us a tip for a Hearts striker looking to leave who will be a free agent in the summer!! A fine start ambassador! We finally get “Badly Drawn Watford” on having gone head to head with Banksy in Bristol (Banksy bottled it) in the artist shoot out and on the football side of things thinks the squad look tired (when he wasn’t in the bar!). John joins us having dropped his daughter off and tells us about trying and failing to get transfer targets from Man City and we talk about Martins and Asprilla, we give an update on the prediction league (for all the people not bothered about it!). Chris joins us from Whitechapel having had to attend college on Saturdays and asks that we should now stop calling “Giorgi” - “Dave”. Pete explains that “Dave” isn’t a show of disrespect but Chris thinks that Giorgi Chakvetadze has earned the right to be called by his own name – fair play. We then decide we will blow the transfer budget into turning Ken Sema into the Bionic man! We go to the 5 word reviews before speaking to Mal about his upcoming 65th birthday and discuss what circus skills we should force Carl to learn (Fired out of a cannon seemed quite appealing!)

Part One of the fan reaction following the 1-1 at Ashton Gate. Most seem fairly pleased with 3 defeats in 18 games now but some wonder - was this one that possibly got away? Asprilla missing an opportunity in the first half may or may not have been the turning point however the second half saw some more great saves Hamer and goal line clearance from Livermore that have seen the home side snatch - so perhaps a share of the spoils is enough improvement on Boxing Day! We hear about half human half goat, our South American Ambassador delivers the goods and we all wonder what might the transfer window now bring in having taken two players out through the exit door? Part 2 out on Sunday. COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.
