Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies in the week the Reds beat the blues yet again in what might be the last derby for a while. There’s a look ahead to Newcastle and Real Madrid, as well as plenty of thoughts on UEFA’s belated corporate apology for putting fans lives at risk almost a year ago. Meanwhile, why do the FA seem more focussed on Andy Robbo laughing at England’s keeper than on the kind of chanting that brings genuine disrepute to the game?
Jim Boardman, Jay Reid and Tony Evans are back to chat all things LFC from a Scouse perspective. As derby day looms large there couldn’t be a better time for the Reds to finally find their feet - but will they? With some club’s finances and breakaway leagues back in the news what does it all mean for Liverpool? Also, is there any truth in the social media theories that fans from out of town aren’t welcome?
As takeover talk dominates the football conversation, not just for Liverpool, Jim Boardman and Tony Evans look back to the last time it happened to the Reds and the destructive, vicious, build up to the sale. More headlines on the business pages than the back pages, talking more about Wall Street than Anfield Road, two cowboys fighting each other and the banks with the help of their posse and none of them caring about the club they bled dry. With paranoid dossiers, threats to fans, and more liars than goalscorers, we’d have gone mad if we weren’t so mad.
Tony Evans joins Jim Boardman and Jay Reid to discuss the latest goings on at the best city’s best club. Have FSG had any luck from their fishing trip for buyers of Liverpool FC - or will they have to go the chippy for their tea? Takeover sagas aren’t always what they seem. Meanwhile, it looks like Jurgen Klopp won’t be able to make any repairs to his tired and broken midfield, so is it time to look at new ways of spending the spare change from the club’s ever-growing revenues? As always, no matter how bad it feels for Reds it’s always worse across the park, but has it gone beyond a joke now?
Tony Evans joins Jim Boardman and Jay Reid as Scouser Tommies returns for a look at what’s been going on lately from a Liverpool point of view. With reports of fan safety concerns at Hillsborough yet again, can we trust the FA to investigate and act appropriately? Is Liverpool’s transfer window activity as over as Jurgen Klopp suggests, or might there be some tricks up some sleeves? And it’s not just comedy from the neighbours this week, as we hear about a new recruitment drive from LFC HQ.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return for a look at all things Liverpool FC from Liverpool. A brand new year began with a brand new signing and all the excitement that brings, swiftly followed by an embarrassing away defeat and all the frustration that comes with that. Jay and Jim try to work out if there’s any cause for Reds optimism, but with a glance across the park remember some very wise words that will help.
With the World Cup finally over and proper football about to return, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look ahead to what the festive period will bring for the Reds as an incredibly intense spell of games begins. Jay and Jim also look at recent examples of why the phrase "Don't buy the Sun" continues to be excellent advice, as well as sharing concerns at how once again claims of "ticketless fans" were shared by the media as an adequate excuse for people dying at an entertainment venue, this time at a gig in London. On a much lighter note there's a quick review of commentary in the World Cup - look away now if you were broadcasting to the UK - and as always there's something to laugh about from across the park.
In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid pick their best-ever LFC XI to have played in a World Cup. The only rule is they had to be a Red when they played a game in FIFA’s magic money tree, so whether they were any good for their countries that summer (or winter) is another matter. Which formation do you go for, who do you leave out, and just how many amazing players don’t even qualify? Before that, there’s a quick look at what’s going on in Liverpool FC’s world right now, with some of the squad playing in a lucrative but meaningless tournament in the Middle East and the rest of the squad playing in another one just down the road.
In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies Jim Boardman and Tony Evans discuss the latest goings-on with Liverpool FC, including some insight and musings on the current owners, what is it that really motivates a footballer to pick one club over another, and some totally impartial analysis of past and present England managers, especially the one who briefly managed the Reds. As always, there’s also stuff to smile at from across the park.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return for another episode of Scouser Tommies in the middle of the mid-season pre-pre-season. Their efforts to avoid going stir crazy in the midst of the Winter World Cup might be failing as talk turns to getting new signings out of the Argos book, but there is still loads of real Liverpool stuff to talk about. There’s a new club doctor, ex-Reds getting out into the managerial world, thoughts on the importance or otherwise of retaining the domestic cups and as always a splash or two from the free-flowing rivers of comedy from across the park.
