SPEAKER_02

Right, straight in. For those that are watching on YouTube, Dylan's not with us today, he's on holiday again. Playing paddle. But we've got the return of Bushead, Andy Horn, ex-Kitman for Carlell United and Driver, ex-driver for Burnley. Any other clubs?

SPEAKER_01

Done a stint of barrow as well. Only when we're at Wembley, though. I wasn't interested after that. Not interested in like Solly Hull away. I know.

SPEAKER_02

On a Tuesday, no thanks. Do you remember when we drove to Canby Island in about an hour from Canve? Dennis Booth went, right, get your passports ready. Fucking Adam Bradley was like, shit, shit, but I was. I thought I didn't think that's it. I was like, oh no. Passports, Canby Island. Fucking Canby Island away. Where is that? Er oh yeah, we go. Fucking hell.

SPEAKER_01

Give us the roads on that one.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's it's uh it's kind of I hope I'm I hope I'm right here. I'm probably gonna make a writing clown of myself. Um it's on the it's on the north side of the London, innit? On the way to Colchester, kind of like Right, all right, Christ. Yeah, Hesse for you the city.

SPEAKER_02

How long do you know when you've been coming on?

SPEAKER_00

Three days.

SPEAKER_02

And you went away with Danny Green playing golf at the weekend, didn't you?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, when I and a couple of nights outside a couple of nights out. Uh oh me and Danny, and we always like we always get together every year, so they come over to Windermere, and then we go over to Winyard uh September, October. Uh really good weekend. Um played golf at Carras Green on Friday, and then we did Windermere on Saturday. Um, and I annoyed everybody by winning the golf on Saturday. Bearing in mind I only played twice a year. Absolute bandit, yeah. 23 points out, 23 points back. Uh absolutely loved every minute of it. Even thought about taking it up on the way home, but I thought, nah, I've just put them back in the shed, let the cobwebs grow on them, get them back out in October. Speaking of cobwebs, could have fucking hair cut before the knew was coming.

SPEAKER_02

He was waiting last two minutes for that. You um for all the golfers out there, Karis is a much more modern course, but Whitehaven's the better why Windermere's the better course.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so Windermere's it like uh not sorry, Karis is flatter, uh lovely course, uh, but Windermere's just got like so much character. Uh up and down. Um really nice course to play. When you get up onto the eighth, uh the eighth tier, your little par three, it's uh the views around are like amazing. So that's why we always get our little selfies done. And uh yeah. That's just to make everybody else feel. That's why you two have brought us just to sit me in the middle and say, look at the state of that.

SPEAKER_02

Fucking the most worst wingman ever when we used to go out. Anyway, had a we're going right in. This is from Keith Ward. For the record, I was with Dylan and yourself on the Crocs, not having them until Christmas. When my daughter got me a pair of lined ones with clipping red lights and a Tetley T barge and a BMW M Sport badge as a piss take on the Crocs. I reluctantly wore them to go at my mother-in-law's next door, and to be honest, Skip is correct, they are comfortable, and the lights were handy too, lol. They are hideous to look at at right and off, but comfy. But no way in hell would I wear them going to meet my mates. Skip's got the crocs on again.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm fuming now because I like I I didn't get my hair cut, right? So I thought I'm gonna get battered for that. And then I've got three sets of crocs. Oh fuck, right? Yes, so I've got the original holy ones, right? I've got another set that doesn't have any holes in them for when it's wet, but I've also have you seen the posh crocs with suede on the top. No, what? Yeah, they exist. So I was gonna put my posh crocs on, right? And they're like a normal croc, just like that, but they've got suede on the top, they're like proper suede, and I thought, nah, I'm gonna walk in there and it's just gonna absolutely batter us, and then the first thing you talk about is crocs. Proper crocs, like copies. I'll send you a photo when I get it. You'll get there eventually, you. I've I'll guarantee I will not. I've never got there with flip-flops and I'm never getting there with crocs. We will see. Where do you see these posh crocs with the squade on top? I didn't mind.

SPEAKER_01

I seen a picture yesterday of someone at the Crocs shop. I don't know if he went in or not, but he was there.

SPEAKER_00

There you go. Honestly, you've got a new croc. You don't see many people with it with the posh crocs on.

SPEAKER_02

Don't see many people with posh crocs on. I didn't have posh crocs honestly. Lego wear and a pair of crocs. Right. Well, you're gonna sponsor this now, aren't you? So sponsorship is Criffle View. Criffle View Private Hire Criffle View, private higher buses, 16 seat, 19 seat reddings, justification, anything, airport, races, yeah, airports anything. Took Simo, didn't you? And Holder took it.

SPEAKER_00

Look after Simmo and that when it when he needs when he needs a help and it and uh any over to the airport and yeah, absolutely anything.

SPEAKER_02

Right, and a quick congrats to Dylan, even though he's not here. Yeah, next step in his career. Wanna say it? No, go for it. Signs for Gretna, yeah, and a bit of kitman. No, they're looking. Hey, if you want your kit and numbers out the wrong way and getting someone taking someone off on a heart trick, you're the man. You're and a bit of coaching, I think, involved, but he'll announce all that and Jude's course, but good to get his future sorted and he wants to stay around the doors. It is, it's good. I mean, obviously he's uh I think he's settled, isn't he?

SPEAKER_01

In in Carlisle, so it's it's on the doorstep, and he's gonna be a right good signer for them. And they're gonna have a goal because of the the levels he's played at. Hopefully he'll be uh he'll go in there and leave by example. So really good signing for them. Hope it goes well for him.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Episode Adam 24, and we're off. Text us curry is a Chinese from me, for me, one million percent, and in Ireland, curry is a Chinese always. So if someone says we're going for a curry, what are you going for, Boss Ed? What are you thinking? Indian. Correct. Yes, correct. Can you eat an Indian in the house? Or would you rather sit down? Do you know how to go to the restaurant for an Indian and Chinese in the house? Restaurant for an Indian. I told you this has turned from not a football and podcast. It's absolutely 100% fine. It's all over the channel. What I know about football is absolutely zero. Have the manager ever asked you for any advice on that line?

SPEAKER_00

No, I don't think that would ever.

SPEAKER_02

No, the documentary the Rod Squad. Have you ever given it without being asked? Er, probably. Do you know that documentary the Rod Squad? Yeah. He took the women's team, right? And he set up loads of like uh training, didn't he? And just before the girls come out, all the lads had nicked the training kit and went. And then there was they filmed them during a match, and he was saying all the bollocks that managers say the buzzwords and that now we'd be going on the front foot, make sure our transitions are in. I was like, fuck off. I'm full depth.

SPEAKER_00

Managerial career didn't take a last one of the things.

SPEAKER_02

He would have need patience with them. No, I remember the ball went up the score against him. You've seen him go fucking hell and all the lads, Richie Ferran and that were on the veg last night. Yeah, so Jeremy Devitt is uh Irish.

SPEAKER_01

Well, he's in the minority, isn't he? So I'd take in fact I'll see him tomorrow night. I'll love this. Uh the game tomorrow night.

SPEAKER_00

Get in. Yeah, we played under Ean some more. I'll take it. Jeremy's saying that if you're going for a curry, you're going for a Chinese. Yeah. Yeah. Ridiculous. Dylan says that. Who does? Dylan.

That's the new one. You can't say that, can you? Remember the day, Thur? Thur had the model of kit. Thur was 34 and he had his little couch. It's a bit basic, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00

I'll tell you what, I've I don't think I've ever said this before. I've got three shirts that no one has ever seen and they've never been produced. So just before the floods, just before we got flooded, we were crawling in the room.

SPEAKER_02

This is why right, this is better. This is why I get you on. Not some fucking lad who was just changing the bins out the back.

SPEAKER_00

So just before crawl, just before Crawley Way when when uh when we got flooded, uh we took delivery of some prototypes. So I've got a Nike Calais United t-shirt, and a Calais United shirt. I have got a added ass Carla United shirt. So they were hung up in my kit room. And obviously when the when the when the place flooded, the adjusters came in and said, right, all this is gone. So I took them anything that just needs to be skipped. And it just needs to be all going to skip. So I took them three shirts. It was the Nike one, the added, I can't know what the other one was. I'm gonna have to get out of the box. So I've got these three shirts at home, never been seen, never been produced. Cala United shirts with the badge on.

SPEAKER_02

Setting us the pictures when you get them out this week. Yeah, we can put them up, yeah. Um you know the floods, that was good. Well, it's not good. But we got back on the on the I went down for pre-match. I went down for pre-match, and everyone's around the telly. I went, what's going on? Simmo was gone, like someone said that's uh Far Craig Farrell, God rest his soul. But that's my boot. So when the water got to a certain level, it hit the trigger the sensor and his boot was open, and he was me and him were not selling all the fake gear, and there was loads of prodder stuff in his back. He went, How do I claim that back? But Simmo was like saying, and then it dawned on us that was Carlisle.

SPEAKER_00

That was my I woke up and I had about I think I had about 45 miss calls. I got up like on the Saturday morning. I had about 45 missed calls and went, What is going on here? And what had happened was that uh you know when you come out of Brunton Park and you turn left and there's that little bridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's as far as the supporters bus got. It got out of the ground and it got to that bridge and it couldn't go any further.

SPEAKER_02

Why did it attempt it though?

SPEAKER_00

Well, it obviously thought the the bit of the Warwick Road bit was alright, and then obviously it's got to the bridge and then seeing what was ahead of it, couldn't go any further. So I'm I I rang back and said, What's wrong? What flooded? We're stuck on the bridge, we're stuck on the bridge, and I'm like, when you just woke up, you just thought, am I still fucking dreaming? You know what's going on? And then obviously, then we started seeing the pictures and everything like that. And then um obviously seeing the pictures of the ground, and uh I had a bit of a battered car then. I went, yes, new car, and then went, oh no, Sue's fucking picked it up. So when we see the picture of like of like all the players, like cars with the boots up and like doors and things, everything like that.

SPEAKER_02

I reckon on Warwick Road, you know, the two levels, everyone was just throwing their stuff down and the flood.

SPEAKER_00

We got beat as well. That was a bad journey home, wasn't it? Um that was that it was a bad journey, it was a bad weekend all over because I think I think Simmo came down for breakfast at about 10 to 10, and breakfast was like 10. I finished at 10 or 10. Yeah, I think it was, yeah. And there was no there was no eggs left, there was no scrambled or anything like that. And uh Simo had gone up to the counter and and said, Um, is there any scrambled eggs? He says, No, it's all done. He said he should have got up earlier. But that went all well. It was a bad weekend.

SPEAKER_02

What about the Monday morning? Next thing. This is how quickly Fred and that they started knocking walls down. I was like, what's that gonna come down for? And they went, No, we're revamping downstairs.

SPEAKER_00

The journey home was weird as well, because I you you won't know this because you sat at the back into your social media and watching football. But when when you when you come on the journey home, you always you always used to like to see the glow of Carlisle. Just as you come up to South Way of service, you there was always that glow, and you're thinking, like, I'm home. And that night we're coming back, it was eerie, it was nothing, it was gone, it was black. Because we met all we met all the players' wives and everything at the at the first junction um Cadhouse. Yeah, met everybody there, everybody like got there and got out. Um but uh but I was a bit of a savior in our area because I took the team coach home. Did you?

SPEAKER_02

Microwave kitchen, anything like that. On away games, we used to go to the chairman. Andrew Jenkins' auctioneer, is it called? Yeah, the auctioneer. And we used to have a roast on a Friday. Yeah. So this is about one o'clock, and then all the lads had go down to Manchester. So when we're coming home, you can get off at Manchester and go different ways. I just took the pillar, went on the no one was on the bus, I went to the back and had like two and a half hours kip on a Friday afternoon after me roast. Who were you playing against? Crawley, we played against that when we got beat. Yeah. And then we when we got when I got flooded in 2015, we had played well in a way in the FA Cup and I was commentating. That was torture as well.

SPEAKER_00

Did we not get I thought what happened when we played Lincoln away?

SPEAKER_02

Oh nothing really for me. Galvanized us though. We uh kicked on, we had to play a working turn.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what Lincoln was and that? This is how stupid things stick in your head. I think that was the when the train got derailed at uh the train got derailed just before just before rocks went home. What what got derailed? A train. What do you mean? What else gets derailed? What what were you on it? No, no, I'm just saying when you get to hotels and that and you remember things that's happened in your area, that's what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_02

Do you remember getting the mill wall on in my biggest game of the season, 2007-8, and you forgot to book the rooms? I remember getting bottled on the way out on that post. Horrible players. All the shot in the semi-final playoffs, the bus got done. Did it?

SPEAKER_00

Aye all the shot, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You said don't someone said don't worry, the windows are like not. I was like at the back. Bang! That's kind of come through that.

SPEAKER_00

Get away. All the shot, yeah. We've got bricks there. We've got bricks at Millwall. Bricks at Nottingham Forest coming out, that pub on the left. Yeah, pub on the left hand side. A fella tried to put the window through. Was that the the night time Monday night game on the Saturday? Yeah, because as you're coming out of the ground, there's a pub on your left, and this lad just came running with a brick.

SPEAKER_02

Didn't get through, like fixtures, Carlisle, nothing special, isn't it? Uh-huh. Worthing, first game of the season.

SPEAKER_01

You just beat fancy them to get away.

SPEAKER_02

We looked at the start. Last year we looked at the fixtures, first five, and said should be first or second, same again, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. It's quite mad because I looked at the fixture list this morning, shockingly. And it's you know, seeing you've took York and Rochdale out of it, it looks very winnable. Doable, yeah. You think and you look on that, you look you looking at you looking at the teams like Worthing, Kiddermints and I know they've just come up and that, but but that just checking that York and Rochdale out of it just just looks looks doable and winnable. I think Carlisle will piss at me.

SPEAKER_02

You do, yeah, I do, yeah. Yeah, I think they'll piss at me. There'll be one team that surprises you and that, and then there's a much of a muchness, then that's crap. Well, not crap, they've done well to get up. Worthing and that done tremendous. Harley Pool Borham are gonna have to take a season to get.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I don't I don't think Borham will follow up what they did in the sets.

SPEAKER_01

Season of all seasons.

SPEAKER_02

Um England about that report. I I like Gabriel Clark, yeah. The two shill one, where he said about mentality, and then he's kind of looked like he's gone over to Bellingham and said he doesn't think he's a player well. But if he had said the manager said the mentality was good, just not the performance performance, Bellinham would have been fair enough. But I like what Bellingham said when you've just finished a match in that heat, yeah, and you get taught by his reporter manager.

SPEAKER_01

But he's got that bit of he's got that bit of like side to him, hasn't he, where he'll say like what he thinks, it doesn't matter if he's upset and who he just wants total positivity, yeah. And he's and he's like, I mean, what he's done in the tournament's absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

Do you not think that's do you not think that's the relationship that he that that that Bellingham already knows is there with the manager and the team, what happens in the dressing room? Because it's a bit like I seen that, like I seen that John Stones like shoulder thing, aye. And that that reminded of us as as when we played it it like just utter banter in the dressing room.

SPEAKER_01

They've been together a long time now as well, haven't they? So it'll be it'll be very, very close now.

SPEAKER_00

To see that in an England dressing room, I just thought that's that's what you need.

SPEAKER_02

We said last week, didn't we? Gareth Southgate kind of had a four of two weeks with them in one of the big not them, he just was probably reluctant to tell them off. He wouldn't have said what Tuchel said in that interview. He wouldn't have said that. He wouldn't have hammers them like club players, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I just when I say in that John Stone's video, I thought that is exactly just something that would have happened in our dressing room, something you you would have done, you idiot.

SPEAKER_02

After another three point he did, he texted us, he went, That reminds me of you, you idiot. I was like um got a great um got a great message in here from Barry Williams. Yeah. So Barry Williams, ex-pro rugby league player for Carl Allen Workington, as well as representing Wales and Cumbria. His wife Lynn has just completed an ultra run, 100 mile Barnburgh Castle to Edinburgh Castle. Um, all donations go to Cancer UK and his daughter, I hope I'm saying this right, Caris, C-A-R-Y-S, I think that's the Welsh in name of that. Yeah, worked in Reds, Guilford Park, where she plays with Izzy Connie. Yes, the weak coach and Jamie Duncanson runs that team, doesn't he, Jamie? So this is from Barry Williams. She's done how far, sorry. She's done the 100-mile Barnburg Edinburgh Castle run in stages. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Fair player. Okay, pal, just watch the pod. Good crackers always, apart from Dylan lying about not being bothered if England win the World Cup. He's like me, he'll be devastated. You mentioned your Gilmore's groin injury. Remember the Gilmore groin back in the day. I had that. He went brought a few memories back for me. Jerry Gilmore done both my groin ups down in Harley Street back in my playing days. Back after five weeks, I think it was, never had a bother with after. So Gilmore groin, he decided instead of Keyo, he'd just tie the groin back up to your stomach muscle. Harley Street in London. So I was only 18-19. Went down there, and I remember man you played into Milan the night before. Charged uh two Marriott Club sandwiches to Sunderland, it was class. Then got me Gilmore groin done. But uh that was everyone got them done then back then, but now everyone's doing them. But that Gilmore and Stedman, the knee bloke. Oh, it was always him, wasn't it, with the with the knees? I was nervous about that group just tender bit, isn't it? The groin. But every yeah, everyone. But cheers for that, Barry. I should say he's good. By the way, that's unbelievable what she's doing there. Yeah. Um she does yoga in that as well, I think. I've seen her like Caris are gonna keep an eye on his daughter, like. I see, I see these on social media all the time. Someone will knock like 15 miles on a sundry. I'm like, you've done it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I can get to a certain point that I am absolutely done in, but some people can just go forever, can't they?

SPEAKER_02

What we're thinking of the World Cup in general? I think we'll definitely get to the final. Oh well, as as a as what's it been like? I just think because of the times, it's not been as I was struggling the other night again. Yeah, um to Bellingham score. I was like trying to keep my eyes.

SPEAKER_01

But now we're in the semis on Wednesday with a chance of being in the final on Sunday with two decent kickoff times. I'm massively invested.

SPEAKER_00

I sack Morocco off. There's no way I was stopping her for that. Went to bed 11 o'clock, got up the toilet at 5 o'clock, soon we won three, two spot on went back to Morocco.

SPEAKER_01

What was that last tournament or was it Mexico?

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely stress-free, but what a great game it was.

SPEAKER_01

It was, but it was so satisfying at the end.

SPEAKER_00

I was absolutely like to see that. And then obviously I seen that there was a red next to it, and I thought, wow, we've got through with a red as well. Was a red as well, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_02

Oof. But uh England will win it. Do you think? I just think it'd be substory again, runners up France. No man, no. Can't I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm always the uh ultimate like doomonger, but there's just something telling me this this this team's got enough to to do it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Me and Danny Lives used to say this every game, I'd love a little 3-0. You know, by 55 minutes. A lot of time we had, didn't we? We were done by 55 We needed one of them. We need one of them in this tournament where we just blow them away in a 10-minute spell and then just absolutely sit back and go nah. It's the first time Messi's faced England, uh, yesterday, but listen, you know what you can do.

SPEAKER_00

I think I think if Saka if Saka starts, if I think with Saka and um Gordon on the other side, I think I think if they can get at them he's not he's been a pretty lasted one game in women's football. Now you think no, I just I just think them two that they're on the they're on the game at the minute. I think if they start well and we get a couple, you you like as daft as it sounds, you might just get that 3-0. If they can keep Messi quiet, like they kept Hyland quiet, yeah. I I don't think they've got a lot else.

SPEAKER_01

Tell you what, the decision not to take the likes of Cole Palmer and Phil Ford, it's they'll look good, won't they? If they win it, you know what it's like.

SPEAKER_02

If they win it, they'll secretly be like, oh, I'm buzzing for the lads, but they'll be that like, oh why am I not? Devo'd, devode, yeah, especially when you are practically going. Oh no. They're not they'll see Dan Byrne's header and then just stood over. Amazed can love out like that.

SPEAKER_01

I've got Gary Neville on his on his overlap podcast. What? I would love Dan Byrne at Salford, and I'm like, what is he fucking messing?

SPEAKER_02

I want to he's a Premier League central half plays for England. I might come play in front of two thousand then. What about Newcastle? Tanali gone. Relegation fodder now, aren't they? Bruno wants to go. Missed out on a lot of targets as well. Why wouldn't you want to play for Newcastle? I don't know, mate. What what what a club like Burnley? Tanali's liar. The atmosphere at the Spurs Stadium's what got us there. There's nowhere better than Newcastle for the atmosphere.

SPEAKER_00

The money's got him down there. Yeah. The pressure's gonna be on from game one as well, isn't it? Because he was under a bit of pressure last year. Who had he? Yeah, yeah. And if he doesn't start well, it's gonna it it could end pretty much.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know him because you worked for Burnley under him? Is he top man?

SPEAKER_00

Top man, yeah. Top man. So did he have the same assistant? So Jason. Yeah, Jason Tyndall, yeah. I like his crack on Newcastle. He just hikes himself, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Aye, so Bruno Tanali go in Newcastle in a bit of thingy bit of bother, right? But what that got us thinking, the wages and the fees now. So Elliot Anderson's not his fault. 116 million. So how much is he on a week? Oh, he'll be on a week. 350, aye. Jesus. When does it where is it gonna stop? Don't know. Is there been a 200 million pound player yet? No, I don't think so. That's coming, innit? Daddy Anderson is a number eight.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, it was it was it was Leeds, it was a massive game.

SPEAKER_00

I wouldn't have been stupid enough to do it before. I bet you would. No, I wouldn't. I kind of knew what you could get away with. I couldn't have done it before the Leeds came. Just carry on then. So we we didn't said like what obviously bored with the lads are out training and that. So I don't know whether I says yesterday or Dolly says yesterday. He said, stick uh stick Fox's head on, he says, and get in the car, he says, and just drive past the training gown with the nose stuck out the with the passenger window. So that's when we trained. So they were training on the bit where there used to be the car park, you know, next to the room. That's where the train now, yeah. So I stuck Fox's head on, and I'm like, I've got I got in the passenger seat. I don't know whether I was driving or Dolly was driving, whatever. So we've drove up, and then the the the what there wasn't that bank then you could actually see because the the built that flood bank, but when you drove up, you could actually see down on the training ground. So we've drove slowly. I think I was driving because I was only doing about two miles an hour, and I got through the gates, and then like I got up, and then I knew where the training ground was because you couldn't see out of that head, only the front of it. So then I've got myself in a straight line, and then like I've looked to my left with the head and I've stuck the nose out the window. And John Ward's like got all the players around and is like doing the talk, like the talk for the game number. And I'm looking through the nose and I'm going, oh fucking hell, I fucked up here. So I've got my nose back inside the card and that, like, and I've got myself round the back of the nail centre, like rub it off and then flew around the front and parked it up. And he came in and goes, Oh man's that! Did you say it was you? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

And then he's he's sent loads of those going Donald, Ronald McDonald licensed and stuff like that. Hey, what a player he was. Yeah, class. Because I was classed him as a nasty bastard, like um fouling and that, like, because when he played for Everton night, there's pictures of him two foot in Viera and that. Came to Sunland as a centre mid, but Reed put him on the right, and he was quality, absolutely quality. So uh ended up playing for Scotland, didn't he? Aye. What did you get there?

What's the one YouTube clip that you dig out to show the young'uns when you're talking about your career? As a Barrow fan, I reckon Skips is the free kick against Oxford live on Satanta Sports. Remember Satanta Sports? Yeah. Nice turn of pace during the celebrations. Didn't see that too often. All the best, Dave. Pierce. Curry equals an Indian. No doubt about it. How would you get faster when you score? You do though. Everyone does.

SPEAKER_00

Just a couple of words you don't see when you're talking about skip, is it? What? Boid and space and speed. The curry was.

SPEAKER_01

So do you dig that one out? I have you've uh you sent me it the other day, didn't you? Yeah. Nice to watch back. But I just started running away from everyone, and it's probably the quickest I've ever run around Hulk Street, like but it's not really much on YouTube. But where's the keeper? I know it's a it's a long way out, but what's the keeper doing, man? Like I remember lining it up, and Ches was behind us. He's like, Where's the keeper? And I and I lost, he's like, if he stays there on the whistle, shoot. And he didn't move. So I've but luckily it went in off the other post. But he was miles away.

SPEAKER_02

Well they were the big hitters that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They were favourite chef, but they've got a man sent off in the first half, and then we just sort of I know I'm changing the subject here, but they've got a little naughty start, haven't they? Barra, who weight, Hartley Poole.

SPEAKER_01

My YouTube one, it's not many up, no. Oh, don't listen, you're saying do I go to that one? There's not many to choose from for me. Like I've got about four or five goals on there, that's about it. My one's under the cush.

SPEAKER_02

Go to the under the kosh. There's a good season, there's a few on about the season, but I don't I don't really go to it. I was on holiday the other week. I was like, that's right, everyone. Gather round. Gather round. Right, thank you. All these holiday friends. Everyone's onto this currying in, man. I like it. Dylan's getting hammered. And now Jamie Devitt. Hi, lads. Well done on the podcast. Footy, booze, takeaways, footy players getting caught with their pants down. Everything about it are like. Regarding footy strips, what is the best kit you have worn whilst playing? And what is one or a couple of your favourite ever kits?

SPEAKER_01

Well, my favourite are obviously because you've asked us this, I was having a look. My favourite three that there's reasons behind them though. Go on then. Obviously, 1990 England, because of Gaza. Yes. I just love that strip because I just love him and how he played. Liverpool 19, let's get this right, 89, 90. They've copied the strip this year, do you know, with the like white specks on it? Yeah. Yeah, I know it's what you mean. Coming up, yeah. That one. The one before. Just because I love that team. And then Carlisle 93-94. It just reminds us of Simon Davy in the middle. I used to love watching him. It was a very, very good team. That strip was, I think it was Conway and Vauxhall was the sponsor, was it? Conway and Vauxhall. That's my favourite. That reminds me of it, Carlisle.

SPEAKER_02

Have you got that on camera? Yeah. That's my favourite, Carlisle.

SPEAKER_00

That's my favourite because it's a little kickback to the well, one when it was blue, two reds, and then the white.

SPEAKER_01

I just think of you in that strip with the white night temples with the blue tick.

SPEAKER_02

Haven't you said then, weren't you? Absolutely running the shortest way. I'm trying to think if they were fucking hell, they're playing Boringwood. Now I was doing it freaking through the 30,000 at Citiground. Was that blue shorts, white socks? Blue shorts. Blue shorts, blue socks. Blue shorts, blue socks. Yeah. You were the kit man. I know. Honestly. I've just had nightmares. It was too busy giving the team away again.

SPEAKER_00

I'll just have the Westwood. Raven. Just have nightmares about white socks. Fucking horrible, stupid colour type. What about when the largest had cut the socks? No, well then that wasn't a thing then. See now with these people who were like cutting big like windows out the back of the calves, that would have drawn me up the fucking wall.

SPEAKER_02

Everton. Cameraman's all over that. 8889. Trevor Stephen. Yeah, player. Beardsley? Kevin Sheedy. Beardsley. Maybe. Kevin Sheedy. Yeah. Graeme Sharp or he before. Graham Sharp. Tony Cottie. Kind of, I think he came the year after. Right.

SPEAKER_00

But that was a good and is a question that I Oh sorry, go on. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, go on. No, find away. Finish your shit. No, no, because you'll forget. You'll forget.

SPEAKER_02

You forget your. Haircut and your crocs. No, we'll come back to it because it's in my head. Alright, you run the show, fucking hell. And this one. Oh yeah. That was Colin Beardsley, wasn't it, up front? Newcastle, Monday night football, just got in the Prem. Chef Wedd at home, 4-2 win. Alex Matthew lobs it over the keeper. Alex Matthew. Class. Great strip. Chris Waddle pissing it for uh Chef Wedd. That's 199 quid. 93 to 95. When strips used to last two years? Anything you can remember of the best strip you want to do? Oh, that was the one.

SPEAKER_00

I like that. Yeah, that was the home one that was that blue one white with the red with white and red flash. I I I I just like the dick chair. Yeah. That was just like right. What were you gonna say? So a question at the weekend when I was with the lads. The greatest player that ever played for Carlisle United, and not you, don't say me. He will say me. I know he will.

SPEAKER_02

Can I say one thing? Anyone above a hundred games, Carlisle, I've got one of the biggest win percentages on the fact that that wasn't a question. But they're great. Got a player over a hundred games though.

SPEAKER_01

The greatest player for Carl that played for Carlisle United. Who are you saying? I'll tell you my favourite player was after play for Carlisle. You remember Andy Watson. Sent forward.

SPEAKER_02

It's a tough one, this, because there's people like who've done it in the premiership for Carlisle, haven't they? Like the when they were back in the day, yeah. So the best I've seen or played with gotta be Bridgie, really. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I said Bridgie. Bridgie was the first one that I said.

SPEAKER_01

Can you remember watching John Halpin or not?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. How good was he?

SPEAKER_01

I've heard. I mean, I can't remember watching him, but as I've heard, he's absolutely different class.

SPEAKER_02

You would have watched Steve Hearwood, wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he was very good. You just reminded of a funny funny story that I told at the weekend. I don't think I don't think I've ever told you this. Come on, then. So back back when I was an apprentice welder back like I thought he was gonna say apprentice at Carlisle United. Fucking else! I was only 17, 18, whatever, like, and I was apprentice welder over in Middlesbrough, and um I was like absolute diehard Carlisle fan then. And uh Carlisle were playing away at Burnley and I wanted to go and watch it, so I I like tricked myself out of college to go and watch the Burnley game, but I went on a like a 50cc moped, 27 mile an hour all the way from Middlesbrough to Burnley.

SPEAKER_01

How long did it take you? How long did it take you?

SPEAKER_00

Forever off the Munda But it was a night game as well, so like got out of the college at Middlesbrough, like got out like got on my moped and away I went, and um can't just go anything like that, but that wasn't the end of it because then I was it was a it was in the winter as well, so like I want a 50 C 50cc moped doing 26 mile an hour. I get to Burnley and they decide right, I'm going home. So like Burnley back to Carl. Yeah, 27 mile an hour. Obviously, can't go on motors. So I'm going on I've set off home, I'm going over all the fells and everything like that. And I I got absolutely freezing and I was like, I started to cry. I'm just picturing dumb and dumb. Dumb and dumb. I got off the moped. My knees were like stuck in that position. I was like I was like a crab walking to the left. I had to bring my mother to come and get us. Where at? Somewhere near Sharp. Jim's got a mental. It was an Ackland College. I thought I wasn't called an Ackland College. No, Longlands College. Longlands College. So yeah. I I think I got as far as Sharp and just give in. Oh, was it Olston? I think maybe came that way. Did you er it's a good idea?

SPEAKER_02

I think it was the Olston bit that killed us. Did er did you live in Middlesbrough then?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so we were talking about the other weekend because obviously Danny and and and Mick and all were comes from that area. Um yeah, so we uh my digs were in Norton, uh right next to the store. I know I know where Norton is. Uh so we're in my my digs were in Norton, uh and then I used to be I used to do my welding training down at uh Portrack Lane Industrial Estate next to where that like horrible red bridge is, and then we used to go to Longlands College, but yeah. But we had a really good football team uh Longwoods College. We had a couple of lads from Borough who were like doing college at the time, so we entered this um college six aside thing. We got to the finals at like Wembley.

SPEAKER_02

Did you? Yeah. Used to have played at Wembley and I've not. You've played at Wembley and I haven't.

SPEAKER_00

Uh not on the not on the pitch, uh the arena. Ah right, always. And then we got to the final and like got battered off these man mountains from Vauxhall. But yeah, yeah, we've got we got to the final, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So best player, were you saying? Andy Walker.

SPEAKER_01

Andy Watson, it's the centre for the first time. Was it his best player just because you loved them? Just the age I was at, um and he played up front. I'm sure he played up front with George O'Garney, he was just different classic. George was listening there's been a little over the years.

SPEAKER_00

I went a little bit further back, obviously, because like I I started with Les O'Neill, I said Les O'Neill. Yeah. And then obviously Hugh McElmoil, and then and then I went, and then somebody pulled Hardy out.

SPEAKER_02

Ian Hart had a good when they've swift him from left back to centre half and he got 19 goals.

SPEAKER_00

And then I've gone to Bridgeie, and I thought it's got to be Bridgie. And then the the general consensus is not nobody's mentioned the one that that we that we went with.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, obviously he's he's the best like to from what he turned out to be. I think I even took George McVitie in Flying Winger. Had some good players, Carlisle. Oh, they've had some fun players on the other side.

SPEAKER_02

On another Carlisle's ground's been on a lot of films, hasn't it? Munich. Somebody else they used the Terrace, didn't they? The Munich film about the Manchester United crash. Yeah. They used Carlisle's uh ground for that.

SPEAKER_00

What did they say? Find me a ground where the stand doesn't go alongside the pitch. I'd be good enough to seat it there in Terraceon. Looks decent.

SPEAKER_02

I know. What's your best footy film? That's a good one. Oh, what's the the new the kid who comes from uh the class goal believable film? So so corny, but it's good. He was there when I played against Fulham, follow me tit. Timeout gets a nice little ah look at the house sometimes where he timeout where he stays with the scout. Timeout, how's that? Scout must be worth a few quid. Maybe we're off a million quid then. I like uh Mike Bassett as well. I watched it on the plane on the way to Crete. It's good, man. Just kills two hours. He reminded me of that. Um what else? But anyway, we've got the films here. High Lads. This is a Dylan from Clearmoor.

We got a lot of feedback from your episode, quite positive, to be fair. But Dorbes wasn't happy, yeah. Taking someone off on a hat-trick. Any other cock-ups? You've done loads, haven't you? Oh lords. Too many to mention. That's the thing. I always remember that one with Scarborough. Simmo we're on a bit of a rocky patch. Simmo wears Bushead, he's out the back. Yeah, I'll have four cod, um ten chips, free curry sauce, take the onion out. Where is he? I want to make a sub.

SPEAKER_00

And I I only ever I I only ever got one margarita pizza, and that was for the chairman. Who did the chairman's pizza then? Him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And he came up and he went, Let me like he was searching all over this margarita versus like that. And I went, get in. And I made sure I like ate most of it, so I had one slice. He went, Love me the chairman's pizza. I went, you tell him. I went one as well, so I wasn't asked.

SPEAKER_03

It's the chairman.

SPEAKER_02

I just had to take the pepperoni off. That's what it was. Skipped the game on Saturday, took us back after the game. Domino's bloke, turns up with all the pizzas. Class, wasn't it? I wasn't really hungry after a game though. I had that sickly feeling for a while. And then I drink about four Lucasades on the bus. And then you're just like that at night, aren't you? Not sleep. I know. Night games are the worst. I couldn't sleep after night games. I preferred a night game though. Did you prefer when a manager got you in on the money on the Tuesday morning to play to train then home for a kip? Or would you rather just wait all day and play at the night time?

SPEAKER_01

Me personally, I'd just rather wait all day, but even we went through a patch at um borough where obviously it's a middle of nowhere, isn't it? So we used to get tuck in, train, then we would go all go to the same hotel, have a kick. So home games, you're having a kip and then just.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't like that. I used to go round to Murph's. So have we had a game over, yeah? Train Tuesday morning, bit of bait, kip at Murph's, quick beans on toast, back in. Um happy days.

SPEAKER_01

I always remember we played um Monday nights, remember reserve team league. Yeah, yeah. I actually got a Jamie McClenzie, he used to have beans on toast, two Regal King size, a can of Coke.

SPEAKER_02

Can of Coke, always a can of Coke. When Jamie came to us for about a couple of months, didn't he? He played at Carlisle. Jamie McGlenn. Oh, yeah. I went round to drop someone off for him about 10 o'clock at night. He's like, All right with a can of coke. Even back then, I was like, What are you doing? But he used to do that and then just run the show. He was quality for the reserves. Like I went, I went, he went, he started playing in the Northern League quite high up when they played the Falcons. I can't remember what they're called. Maybe Newcastle Blue Star back in the day, they're back now. But and he came to the pub with me on a daytime. We had about six, seven pints, and I went, I went, You can't play now. He went, I am. I played for Blythe, so he played for Blythe. He went and played for Blythe, absolutely ran it. He's like, Lummy, tick tock. He was a good character at half, Jamie.

SPEAKER_01

Funny guy, very funny. What's some characters feel that pressure, I'll tell you. Danny was torture for you, wasn't he? Danny Graham.

SPEAKER_02

Like in a good way.

SPEAKER_00

Desi Byrne was a torture to me.

SPEAKER_02

Is that the lad who got sacked in the end? Desi Byrne. He was on the Rod squad. Irish lad. Yeah, that's him, I. Went out him and Jamie Burt, didn't they? When they weren't meant to and got sacked the next day.

SPEAKER_00

Just like she used to come in with no kit. Can have some kit bussy. Where's your kit? Dunno. Didn't care. Did they have to take the kit home then? No, they didn't have to take it home, but he just went home in it because it couldn't be hard to get changed. Didn't bring it back. Didn't bring it back.

SPEAKER_02

It was proper rag arch rovers, then, wasn't it? The lads put their picture up, don't they, Kyle May and Tucker and all that, and Hooley when they were Dabba when they were YTs. None of them matched the case. None of them got the same king. And this is like day 20. Aye. It's not the first day, is it?

SPEAKER_00

Nah, it's not the first day, and they're all Yeah, wild, wild, wild.

SPEAKER_02

I think everyone in Carlisle who's played football has made one appearance for Carlisle. Somewhere down the line. Somewhere down the line, aye. I was with Air Grim Antney yesterday, seen him for a couple of drinks. Aye. His episode went down well. Aye, it was good, wasn't it? Really good. The story about Tony and the drink was crazy. Right? Anything else to add, Bus?

SPEAKER_00

No. I've been really good. I've uh I've enjoyed it. Predictions for Wednesday. Predictions for Wednesday. I'm going for the 2-1 England win.

SPEAKER_02

Pellingham double pens.

SPEAKER_00

I'm gonna give you I'm gonna go with your comfortable 3-0. I think I think if we can get a couple of early goals.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, do you know what I've done on comfortable 3-0? What I've done on Saturday. Just to cover the blow, I put some money on Bellingham to get booked. And did he? And I didn't know because if he got booked, he missed the semi-final. So I would be absolutely devastated with the cushion the blow. I would get some wedge. But I didn't want to win. I I did not want to win it, and I'm glad I didn't win it.

SPEAKER_01

Just don't put any money on and just hope he doesn't get booked.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but that I would have been so devastated that he got booked that it was a little bit of a. I would have gone for a sit-down curry, trap myself.

SPEAKER_00

I ordered some food on Saturday night. Shock. It was what was it? It was good. I just had a chicken come out. Um any sauce? No sauce. Oh, honest, it's dry. Eh? Is every tea you have beige? No, it's not. Yellow. So I've I've I've I've ordered it, so we're we're at the Castle Green and that and I've ordered, right, I'm getting peckish here. This is gonna go out extra time. Like, I I need something to eat. So I went on the app and like I got myself a chicken kebab, and it's like $12.99, minimum order 20 quid. I'll get the lads a pizza. So like I got the lads, so I got the biggest like a 14-inch Donna pizza, chucked it up to 29 quid, whatever it was, spot on. I don't I think I don't know which one just eat app, so it like counts down 54, 53. Donna pizza, so it's obviously the pizza you like, then uh yeah, I can't have it. I do love it, but I can't have it now. So Danny's looking over my shoulder again, he's going, fucking idiot, fucking 43 minutes, another uh 33, 32. I kept looking at my app, but my phone was on do not disturb. So I've looked, it's got to like end of the game, so ready extra time, up the pizza, get another drink in, and I've looked, and it's like 29 minutes like for delivery. Looked at my phone, got 18 missed calls. I'm like, what the fuck's that? And then I've rang it back and I goes, Hello? He says, Uh I'm at reception with your pizza. And I've got it's 29 minutes again. The guy was fuming, so fair play to him, like I stayed. I thought he would have gone like, but obviously, because I pivot it up front, so went up to reception, giving it like give him a tip and that, and then came back down. The lads didn't know I was getting them a pizza and that because I was saying, uh because I'm saying, do you want out? Do you want anything? No, no, I don't want anything. No, we're fine, just get sell some because I didn't have anything at the golf club and then put this 14-inch pizza down. I think it was gone in about 6.3 seconds. Yeah, great, great weekend.

SPEAKER_02

Did the boozer let you have them in there?

SPEAKER_00

I thought you said that the lad behind the back. Yeah, we're buying them a drink, like no, I'm uh don't want to get the lad sacked. He was no, I'll leave it at that. There's a few things to cut out this weekend. Right, cheers, boss. Spawn on, thank you very much.
