In my head, Barry looks like the guy who made Father Ted. As all Irish people look the same, you see.

We do.

I assume you mean Graham Linehan? I can picture him with Barry's voice alright.

I used to picture Paul Doyle as looking like Kevin Doyle, must be some subconscious thing with the names, because they couldn't look any different.

When I first listened to FW, I pictured Barry as much much older and wizened than he actually was/is.

Same here, he definitely has the voice of an older man I’d say.

Who was that self-described luddite and cynic on the Totally Football Show? Reminded me of Barry, and not in a good way.

The thing that made me laugh the most was that Andy is already losing his poo poo before it even gets to the punchline when he says "Batman Forever", closely followed by "just a second" or "kenwood ... *sound of Andy smacking the table*"

Yes but the jab at British Colonialism was good tho so it evens out.

I'm glad they get more diverse voices though, Jimbo's show was just white dudes + occasional amy lawrence.

Yeah, she's got an enthusiasm that's pretty infectious.


Not sure why it popped into my head recently, but that ongoing bit where Jimbo would ask one of the regulars about his 365 beers in a year thing was maybe the most tedious thing I've encountered.

Yeah, he's one of the reasons I've stopped listening to The Game, too. Also, the quality of guests went off a cliff.

From a Dutch, so not really in a position to criticise on that front imo.

She is clearly enthusiatic, and different perspectives are good, but too much obsequeous praise of womens football.

Phillipe destroyed the Australian guy when he started talking about Spain v. Germany being a good advertisement for whatever the new international format is. I winced in sympathy.

No Barry is ace. He's almost a cliche but I like that he can cut through when it gets wayyy too Gruniad and just say that something is poo poo or ridiculous or what have you. He has good chemistry with Max too which I think has really made the absence of Jimbo relatively inconsequential. I mean if you miss Jimbo you can just listen to his intros on TFS for the pun quota and then turn off.

That was on Football Weekly mate.

e: Unless another Lars did another flounder/turbot joke on TTFS. That said, TTFS is poo poo and I now only listen if bored and out of other podcasts.

Speaking of other podcasts, why does Gab Marcotti always sound like an American with a blocked up nose trying to eat something large while he speaks?

Gab Marcotti was making fun of 'proper football men' on talksport before it was cool. It was even better that he has an american accent because of how indignant they would get.

I remember when there were like, 3 podcasts. Gab's ESPN football one, Football Weekly and that one from ages ago that got shut down because they made fun of dead liverpool fans.

I also remember barry saying "blow me, gently caress face" on football weekly.
