The President Strikes Back

One game from history

My giddy aunt, we’re being treated to some wonderful title races on the Island of Britain this season. Today, Marcus and Jim start in Scotland, where a controversial handball set up a thigh-rubbing title decider this weekend. Even Gary Lineker and Jeff Stelling were outraged. Back in England, it was a perfect night for Man City at the Etihad.

The President Strikes Back

David Ornstein and NASA, are they the last bastions of normality as we head towards the failure of modern society? And why are we asking? Well, one reason is because FIFA are selling tickets to stand in the car park outside the World Cup final for $16,000. Marcus, Jim and David try to get their heads around that on today’s show.

In the end, sure, they got the decision right. But... and there are many buts, is this really the football we love? Amid fears that our game may well and truly be gone, don't fret! Chris Martin and his Coldplay pals have delivered - Bublé at the World Cup opening ceremony. Come on, that's a decision we can all get behind. Marcus, Luke & David are here to debate THAT disallowed goal, plus the rest of the weekend's action. Also, a good old-fashioned bit of (alleged) spying, a Rashy stunner, and Gianni Infantino being fired out of a cannon. Get your Ramble merch HERE [https://footballramblestore.com/].
