DISCLAIMER: We do not hold any serious opinion on Scottish independence. The following is intended to amuse. A futuristic vision of independent villages, towns and people all competing to play in the World Cup is simply amusing to us and is in no way a suggestion that Scottish independence would set any sort of bad precedent.

Rolo couldn't even watch. Disclaimer - due to being in central London, there is occasional car noise. Many apologies, we were only three floors up. THE GANG ARE BACK, and this time it's to talk about the second week of the majorly awesome World Cup. Joe is joined by Alex and Martin as usual, and for one night only special guest Arseblog's Andrew Allen hits up the T.I.G pod. This episode is sponsored by the Old Red Lion Theatre, HOME of football in North London (not entirely accurate) and we're upstairs in the landlord's living room, doing the dirty with his dog. Many football conversations occur, also there's some songs, Jim Davidson makes an appearance - and of course, there's some entirely unprofessional, borderline inappropriate jokes.

Martin, Alex and Joe convene in the dark recesses above the lovely Old Red Lion Theatre pub, which coincidentally is sponsoring the World Cup Special podcasts. We've watched all of the World Cup up to and including Germany v Portugal and we're raring to go, which is why there's about 90 minutes of talking here.

This podcast includes an awful lot of willy nilly's. Joe interviews some other artists at Pick Me Up, we chat about all of the week's football and the F.A's interest in setting up a B Team league in the future. There's basically just a lot of stuff... It's long. Also we nicked the music this week from Misfits and Robocop's gameboy game.

We have not prepared and therefore it's almost exactly the same as usual. Martin Race and Philippe Fenner join host Joe Devine to chat about the weekend's premier league, F.A Cup, and various other odds and ends including though not limited to; muscles, Ukraine, Hull & more Pandas. Plus there's an excellent improvised song at the end called "He's not the bully, no, the other two are" which is worth skipping to if you get bored. MAD STUFF. x

Wed, 02 Apr 2014 21:27:03 GMT

With an astonishing shortage of pundits and a last minute cancellation of guests, this week's podcast is just Joe and Martin talking alone. Don't worry though because they're the best bits of the T.I.G podcast and they're both here to entertain you. You might be asking why the episode is called Black Dutch Players - well, due to the haphazard and casual way in which this episode came to be, certain unexpected tangents were taken and we ended up there. Like normal. As usual, most music was belligerently used without permission, this time from Pokemon.

Tonight we chat Manchester derby, Arsenal's inability to stay in the running and Everton's dominance - as well as catching up on the Premier League action from the weekend and throwing in Sunday's El Classico for good measure. It's an especially long episode but stay tuned for some great songs, lots of sensible footy chatter and a few good old pedo gags.

Supplemental: Poo-legrini?

Hello T.I.G fans. After some time away, we're back in minimalist fashion. Philippe "Philfen" Fenner joins host Joe Devine to discuss the weekend's more prevalent action in the first of our 'T.I.G Supplements'. Due to mad working hours, chronic dilapidation and general lack of enthusiasm for the game of football (only joking!), T.I.G Weekly will take a fortnightly seat. A shorter and more CONCISE episode will fill in the other weeks as a tasty supplement treat to all our loyal followers. This week Phil and Joe discuss Chelsea's exciting victory over Rivals Manchester City, Manchester United's disappointing and windy visit to Stoke and other interesting stories and results from the Premier League this weekend.

Despite that though Jonny Singer thankfully joined us and saved the day with a marvelous guest section before T.I.G host Joe once more ruined the evening by enforcing the performance of a below par play.
