Always look on the Brighton side of life

There may be more COVID related restrictions on the horizon, but that didn't stop The Crafty Rogues from serving up another fun cocktail of futbol, culture, and craic. This show is a gem. Molto tasty!

This is what we call Take Two

The boys were clearly in a good mood. This hour of futbol, culture and craic may just put you in a good mood, too! Have at it.

Fish don't know wet

This just in! The Crafty Rogues were re-elected unopposed. They even had a special guest!

Monty had a serious lisp.

Have you ever tried to carve a turnip? No need to answer; just listen to this show...and VOTE!

I was right, and I didn't like that I was right.

They say the journey is more important than the destination. Well, this week the Crafty Rogues went from Cosgrove's basement to outer space. They appeared to enjoy the journey. Your turn.

Waffling along is our profession.

The Crafty Rogues know that winter is coming, but they don't care! They just keep on doing that thing they do. You know, this kind of thing.

Oct 15, 202053 min

Let me interrupt you.

New studio, same old Crafty Rogues. Futbol, culture, craic, and a detailed debate about why Eric Dier went to the toilet. Not TOO detailed, though.

Doubt is for Thomas, not Cosgrove & Quinno

The boys were in a top secret location this week. Did it change the show at all? Nah. Futbol, culture, craic, RBG, and George Costanza. Same old, same old.

Sep 24, 202048 min

I repeat...get your hand off it.

Cosgrove and Quinno are great friends with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but they're both terrible handymen. Yes, things got quite personal on this week's show

Sep 17, 202048 min

Yes, yes, yes...no!

A Protestant horse, a parade not a rally, and what's the point of West Ham? Pretty much your standard Premier League season preview

Sep 10, 202049 min

It's already dark in Finland

The boys move seamlessly from Vinnie Jones to Val Doonican and from Fermanagh to Finland, all in the same show. Somehow it makes sense.

Sep 03, 202047 min

The Economics of Anger

What do Kamala Harris, Gareth Bale, Blaise Matuidi, credit unions, sunburn, and haggling have in common? They're all part of this week's episode. Seriously

Aug 13, 202042 min

I said John, I said love, I said pet.

The boys may have outdone themselves this week. They took on everything from Bette Midler and John Hume to alarm clocks and wrinkles. It'll make sense when you listen. Maybe.

Aug 06, 202037 min

There's nothing like a good ride.

If you add fashion, cycling and psychology to the usual mix of futbol, culture and craic, you'll have a pretty good idea of what this week's show is all about. Well, almost.

It's a sham and it's a money racket

We warned you. We told you Cosgrove might let rip on this week's show. And let rip he most certainly did. Buckle up, it's a bumpy ride. It's fun, though!

Is Karmatic Justice an actual term?

The main man at the world's largest association of soccer coaches used to play for Brit's Pub FC. His name is Ian Barker and he happens to this week's guest with Cosgrove and Quinno. Tasty stuff.

Jul 09, 20201 hr 3 min

I got picked on 'cos I was kind of annoying

The boys addressed some important sporting, cultural and political issues on this week's show. Also, is being a B+ good enough? Yeah, this is deep stuff. Very deep.

It's the Marshmallow Test

The Premier League was on hold for precisely 100 days. So, theoretically, The Crafty Rogues had precisely 100 days to prepare and plan for its return. Theoretically.

Hallelujah and pass the Guinness!

With the Premier League set to restart on Wednesday and MLS announcing its return date, The Crafty Rogues thought it was high time they invited Cal Williams (the voice of MN Utd) back on the show. Rather surprisingly, he accepted

Jun 11, 202050 min

We were born a couple of fields apart.

In theory, two guys from Aghadrumsee and a guy from Wollongong should be able to create an entertaining podcast. Well, when one of the guys from Aghadrumsee is Ireland U-19 Football Manager Tom Mohan, the theory becomes a reality. Tasty stuff.

Mickey, would you ever go lay down and not get up?

"What does a man with an AFL Premiership win and a GAA All-Ireland win need to ccomplete his resumé? A Crafty Rogues guest appearance, of course! Two-sport legend Tadhg Kennelly joins Cosgrove and Quinno for some top quality craic. This was serious fun!"

May 28, 20201 hr 12 min

It was all Brazilians, and me & Becks

David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Neil Lennon, sausage rolls, and the language of love. Those are just a few of the topics Cosgrove and Quinno touch on this week, along with special guest Zeljko "Spider" Kalac, formerly of AC Milan.

Ep - 200 - "I created T20 cricket"

This week's Crafty Rogues podcast was the boys' 200th show overall! So how did a largely futbol-based podcast celebrate such a milestone? By having a retired international cricketer as a guest, of course! Former Australia fast bowler Stuart Clark joined Cosgrove and Quinno for a fun chat that, quite frankly, went all over the place. And we mean that in a good way.

NO OTHER REASON THAN HE WAS A GINGER. SPECIAL GUEST MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JACOB FREY. (EP. 182) Expand Menu

Before the boys suffer through one day only of the polar vortex they get together at Brit's to have a chat about the limited Premier League we saw this weekend and sit down with the Mayor. Yes, the actual Mayor of Minneapolis himself Jacob Frey joined the show today. The boys open the show with their usual catching up but quickly welcome in Mayor Frey to discuss his athletic past, how he got into soccer, politics, and being Mayor. The boys say goodbye to the Mayor and jump into reviewing the lim...
