You don't have to be right, but you have to be interesting.
John had a problem with a presenter. Quinno got his Brazilians mixed up. And it probably won't end well for Prince Andrew. Nor should it.

Apparently, Patrick Vieira smells magnificent. That's good to know.
It might be unfair to say that this show went off the rails. However, given that the rails went through the Capitol, John's trophy shelf, Australian border protection, Spurs' kit room and Hogwarts, it might not. Tasty stuff

There are two things English people shouldn't do
The boys said goodbye to 2021 with a bit of football, a dash of culture, and a huge dollop of craic. In other words, the usual recipe. That's not a bad thing.

No Irishman worth his salt should be playing cricket.
So, if you like football, culture, craic, immunization, cricket, World Cups, insurance, fan power, and the band Slade, there's probably something for you in this show. Probably.

I'm feeling like I missed the last minute penalty in the World Cup Final for Ireland.
"The boys said their farewells to Sergio Aguero. John explained the concept of Interest Atrophy. And Quinno made a comment he instantly regretted. Nothing new there.

Good luck finding Swindon, Pep!
Join the Crafty Rogues as they travel from Omaha to Swindon to a Finnish bus stop. Admit it, that Finnish bus stop thing's got you thinking!

I was always a false nine in the dressing room.
Any show that mentions Rihanna, The Beatles, Seamus Coleman and Cosgrove's chiropractor is surely worth 44m 33s of your time. Surely!

This is more therapy than commerce.
Adele's a Spurs fan. Sadio Mane needs to be stopped. And The Crafty Rogues don't know Rafa Benitez's address. That may be for the best.
Nov 24, 2021•46 min
We have decided to do nothing.
John is open to offers. No one's going to quote Quinno. And it's okay not to know where you're going. But listen to this show before you head off!

Picture this: I'm in a shopping mall in Reykjavik.
Managers come and go, but Cosgrove went and came! He's back from Iceland with stories to tell and opinions to give. Tasty stuff.
Nov 11, 2021•44 min
I've kind of confused their algorithm.
It was a rare Monday afternoon recording for the boys, ahead of Cosgrove jetting off to Iceland. It didn't impact the quality of the show one bit. We're not sure if that's good or bad.

Scoring goals. Watching The Stones. Making soup.
A soccer great calls it quits. A cricket great should hang his head in shame. And a Crafty Rogues great is prepping for Iceland. Have some.

Everyone gets a much needed win in Kiev.
Diego Simeone doesn't shake hands. There are no moral victories in the EPL. And don't mix activity with productivity. You're smarter already!

There's no such thing as a Gaelic model.
The boys went for a long wander across the professional football landscape, from the Saudi billions at Newcastle to the boot strap existence at Minneapolis City SC. This is tasty stuff.

I think I'm gonna pull out the ruffles just to shock them.
Fans of The Darkness, Bjorn Again and Mo Salah are in for a treat. Fans of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Claudio Ranieri and Ukrainian Ice Hockey, not so much.

It was funny but uncalled for.
What a week of football! Messi, Ronaldo, and Cosgrove all scored goals. In a world exclusive, Cosgrove speaks to The Crafty Rogues.
Sep 30, 2021•51 min
There's nothing better than having a rodent on your hat
Cosgrove is a man of strong opinions. Quinno is a man of occasional opinions. Well, it was an absolute opinion-fest on this week's show. Just ask the US Ryder Cup team
Sep 24, 2021•53 min
It's going to be clumsy, cluttery and clattery!
This is a very tasty show, but do yourself a favor and stay through to the very end. The boys lose it, big time. Cracking stuff.

There ain't no Proddy like a Limavady Proddy.
Take some World Cup qualifying controversy, some Premier League prognostication, a dash of All-Ireland excitement, and you've got this week's episode of The Crafty Rogues. Top shelf.

Why are you shaking hands with me? Did we fall out?
John's back. Quinno never left. And Football Agent looks like the career to get into. The boys have the stats to prove it!
Sep 03, 2021•42 min
It's comforting and unsettling at the same time.
With John in Ireland and Quinno in Minneapolis, the tyranny of distance was no match for a positive attitude and a bit of technology. This show is bi-continental, and it's tasty!
Aug 26, 2021•50 min
It's not Corranny, but it's close.
Before John jetted off back to Ireland, he and Quinno broke down another week of futbol, culture and craic. John took a swing at Leeds fans. He didn't miss.
Aug 20, 2021•44 min
It takes a village of idiots.
Cosgrove makes incendiary EPL predictions. Quinno apologizes to the environment. And there's a random Morecambe & Wise reference. About time, too.
Aug 11, 2021•45 min
There's a little bit of Ted Lasso going on.
Man City is Jack Grealish's new club. Barcelona is Leo Messi's old club. And Daniel Levy is a dodgy character. But you already knew that.
Aug 06, 2021•43 min
The jokes just keep coming, and they just keep dying.
Last gasp equalizers...horrendous EPL fashion choices...and the eternal question: where is Chattanooga? Someone must know!

Two weeks in Donegal with 11 days of rain
Portland takes its pizzas seriously. Cosgrove used to pretend to be John Motson. And Quinno does not think highly of Lance Armstrong. Something there for everyone.
Jul 23, 2021•51 min
Other media outlets do it, why can't we?
The boys were suffering from football withdrawal. Mind you, it didn't stop them talking about it. Not much does, to be honest.
Jul 16, 2021•35 min
If you like one of 'em, you like all of 'em.
So, it's down to this. Is football coming home or going to Rome? Well, here's a clue; Cosgrove learned to speak a little Italian. Ciao

I've gone from lukewarm to steaming!
Marco Tardelli, David Bowie, Harry Redknapp, Christian Ramirez, Miley Cyrus and Socrates. That's just a small taste of this week's guest list. Admit it, you're intrigued. Yeah, you are.
Jul 02, 2021•57 min
I'm not going to watch it; there's too much yellow.
John was in Phoenix, 1513 miles away from Quinno, who was in Minneapolis. Yet, despite the tyranny of distance, this is still a cracking show. Russia, Hungary and Turkey may beg to differ.
