This is a Sports Talkshow and a Podcast mainly Focusing on the beautiful game of Football This is the Season 101 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD,  And an Avid football pundit Tony Gusani also a Manchester United fan In This Season Of The Football Referee Podcast we discuss: discussing football, particularly focusing on spying incidents between teams during training sessions. Tony expressed his opinion that while spying likely occurs among many teams, it's done more subtly rather than with obvious cameras. The conversation concluded with Tony discussing Mexico's recent Europa League victory over Palace, noting that while the first half was pedestrian, Palace stepped up in the second half and deserved to win. Crystal Palace Manager Succession Debate Trevor discussed Crystal Palace's recent success under manager Oliver Glasner, who won three trophies in 12 months including the FA Cup and Community Shield. The group debated potential successors, with Tony advocating for Amorim due to his strong recruitment record at their club, while Trevor expressed interest in Iroala from Bournemouth. Trevor expressed concern about the delay in appointing a new manager before the World Cup, noting that Palace tends to struggle with quick decisions and may end up with an unsuitable candidate if they wait too long. Football Management and Squad Discussion Trevor discussed the trend of hiring younger managers in football, citing examples like Bournemouth and Brighton, and expressed hope that Crystal Palace would appoint a young manager to maintain momentum. The group reviewed England's World Cup squad, with Trevor defending goalkeeper selections and Tony questioning several player inclusions including Konsa and Spence. England World Cup Squad Discussion The group discussed England's World Cup squad selections, with Tony and Trevor agreeing on several players they wouldn't choose, including Jordan Henderson and Noni Madwake. They expressed concerns about Tuchel's selections being influenced by personal relationships rather than performance, though Trevor noted that Tuchel's success would ultimately depend on results. The discussion concluded with predictions about England's upcoming friendly match against Croatia, with Tony expecting a close, potentially draw result or a late goal, and Trevor commenting on Eze's penalty-taking abilities. Football Strategy and Penalty Discussion Trevor criticized Eze's penalty technique during the FA Cup final and expressed concern about his reliability in penalty situations, while Tony noted England's strong penalty record. The group discussed the recent Champions League final between Arsenal and PSG, with Tony predicting Arsenal's defensive strategy and Trevor analyzing Manager Arteta's tactics. They also commented on Arsenal's celebration compared to Palace's lack of celebration following their Carabao Cup win. Ballon d'Or Nominees Discussion The hosts discussed the Ballon d'Or nominees, with Trevor suggesting Harry Kane as his top choice due to his exceptional goal-scoring record. Tony expressed skepticism about the award's credibility, arguing that it's influenced more by media hype and PR than actual performance, and questioned why players like Rashford weren't included while others like Lamine Yamal were. The discussion included voting percentages for various candidates, with Harry Kane leading at 26% and Dembele at 23%, while players like Mbappe, Vitinha, and Carver Celia received lower percentages. Ballon d'Or and Football Inequality The group discussed the Ballon d'Or award, with Trevor arguing that it has lost credibility by consistently rewarding only Messi and Ronaldo, and suggesting players like Bruno Fernandes and Sadio Mane deserve recognition instead. They also discussed the significant pay gap between male and female football players, noting that Ada Bonmarti earns €1 million annually while Cristiano Ronaldo earns €260 million per year. Regarding Manchester United's transfers, Tony acknowledged that while the club needs to sign experienced players, particularly in midfield, they will need to wait until pre-season to properly evaluate new signing Enzo Fernández. Football Team Transfers and Management The discussion focused on football team transfers and management changes across multiple clubs. Trevor discussed Crystal Palace's need for 3-4 new players, particularly in defense and midfield, while expressing concern about losing players like Daichi Kamada and potentially Walton. The group analyzed Liverpool's challenges following Jurgen Klopp's departure, with Tony noting their ongoing struggle to find that "missing link" player to complement their existing talent. Trevor also commented on Manchester City's transition period and the disappointing season experienced by Chelsea, while highlighting the success of teams like Brighton, Brentford, and Bournemouth.

S102E1: He Was Then Given A Long Long Contract - Trevor Gear On Graham Porter As Swedish Coach

This is a Sports Talkshow and a Podcast mainly Focusing on the beautiful game of Football This is the Season 102 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD,  And an Avid football pundit Tony Gusani also a Manchester United fan also Jerome John a system analyst from Birmingham In This Season Of The Football Referee Podcast we discuss: Graham Potter Sweden Appointment Discussion The meeting focused on discussing Graham Potter's appointment as manager of the Swedish national team. Trevor and Tony agreed that while Potter has managerial ability, he lacks visible passion and his tenure at Chelsea and West Ham was disappointing. Jerome noted that Sweden's World Cup group includes strong teams like Netherlands, Japan, and Tunisia, making their chances of progression unlikely. The discussion also included casual conversation about weather and podcast introductions before transitioning into the main football discussion.  Sarge Head Coach Negotiations The group discussed negotiations between Crystal Palace and ROC Lens for Pierre Sarge to become the new head coach, with Trevor explaining the distinction between "manager" and "head coach" roles and expressing optimism about the potential appointment. Trevor highlighted Sarge's track record in France and praised Crystal Palace's due diligence in finding a replacement for Glasner, who left in October. The discussion also touched on other potential candidates like Frank Lampard, though Trevor noted that Sarge appeared to be the most serious contender for the role.  FIFA Rule Changes and Modric The group discussed Luca Modric's impressive performance at age 40 for Croatia, with Tony and Jerome praising his skill and leadership while Trevor noted his slight frame might allow him to play into his mid-40s. The conversation then shifted to FIFA's new rule requiring substitutes to leave the pitch within 10 seconds to prevent time-wasting, which all participants agreed was a beneficial change for the sport.  Football Rules Discussion Meeting The group discussed new football rules, focusing on throw-ins and goal kicks. They agreed that the 5-second countdown rule for throw-ins would help reduce time-wasting, though Trevor and Jerome expressed concerns that it might be too short, preferring 10 seconds.
