It was unreal and I loved it!

Ronaldo has a Coke problem. Patrick Vieira has aged better than Roy Keane. And the boys are excited to get to the pub. No news there.

I didn't expect the shanty band to show up!

Cosgrove is now 50 and there were tales to be told about the celebrations. Football, politics and networking got a mention, too. Let's put it this way; the boys know a guy.

There I was...on the goal line!

Two topics guaranteed to make Cosgrove's head explode are Maggie Thatcher and the Hall of Fame concept. They're both in this show. You've been warned.

Put that away. Never let me see it again.

Sausage rolls are the perfect food. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a pantomime villain. And football is still the best way to get thirsty. Words to live by,

We measure time now in pints!

The boys were back at Brit's Pub. Producer Jonathan was back pressing the buttons. It was show #250 and all was well with the world. Sort of.

I'd rather look at a field of cows.

Try finding another podcast that covers authoritarian policing, yard work, football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrrr, and cows. Actually, don't bother; just listen to this one.

This is the season of the hat.

Fashion, films, finance, football. It may seem like this week's show should get an F, but we think it's an A+. Mind you, that gag definitely gets a F.

I only know Gaelic when it suits me.

It's the week of St Patrick's Day, which is the holiest week of the year for Cosgrove. Was it discussed in this week's serving of futbol, culture and craic? Oh goodness me, yes!

Mar 16, 202140 min

I don't want to be the arbiter of what's a big one.

The Crafty Rogues welcomed March with another thoughtful, considered look at world events. As if! It was basically just futbol, culture, and craic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Mar 03, 202140 min

I'm an accent waiting to happen.

The Perseverance Rover was bought at IKEA, and Seamus Coleman is from Killybegs. These are facts. Listen and learn.

Feb 25, 202138 min

I am King of the Craic!

Cosgrove gave himself a new title. Quinno talked about facial reconstruction. Plus there was chat about futbol, rugby, and Billy Crystal. Tasty stuff

Feb 18, 202140 min

Choppy, choppy, not so goody.

What do the Bee Gees, Sarah Ferguson, Anthony Martial, Tommy Tiernan, and Garth Brooks have in common? They're all featured in this week's show. Seriously...all of 'em.

Feb 04, 202142 min

Come on feel the Moyes!

Any show that contains observations about Sean Dyche, Tom Brady, and the My Pillow guy is well worth a listen. This is one of those shows.

Jan 28, 202150 min

We signed Berndt Ennz from Schalke!

It's a new day in America, but it's just another night in the Crafty Rogues Studio. That's actually a good thing. Seriously.

This revolution is being televised.

It was meant to be a standard, garden variety Crafty Rogues show. Events in Washington DC ensured that it was that, plus a whole lot more!

Jan 07, 202144 min

The world has been on pause.

There was a lot to unpack and an unprecedented amount of pivoting as the boys and Phil Mackey looked back at 2020. No clichés, though.

Dec 31, 202056 min

This isn't the last big grift.

The boys were in full festive mode as they defied a blizzard to solve the mystery of Roberto Firmino's teeth. There was other stuff too, but mainly Bobby Firmino's teeth!

Dec 24, 202046 min

The spirit of the times is John Powers

Sam Allardyce has a job. William Barr doesn't. Wolves are chippy choppy, choppy changey. And 'zeitgeist' is hard to say. Funny, though.

Dec 17, 202043 min

It's small, but perfectly formed.

The first ever socially distanced, fully "Zoomed" Crafty Rogues show was a huge success. Probably. Maybe. Oh what the heck, listen and decide for yourself.

Dec 10, 202050 min

No, John, girls hadn't discovered you!

The boys discussed the life and death of Diego Maradona...youth coach Jordan Block called in...and Elvis Presley got a couple of mentions. Fun stuff!
