Come and see us live! Tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-football-weekly-podcast-live-in-dublin-tickets-53867451999For our final episode of 2018, Greg Spring joins Seamas and Gavin to cover a few of the topics we didn't get to this
Very special edition this week - we dig into what makes the genius of Guardian football cartoonist David Squires with the man himself.  We cover loads - how David started off at Swindon Town, where he designed the club mascot, earned the fury o
This week we look at the new documentary film on Barcelona's glory years under Pep Guardiola - Take The Ball, Pass The Ball.  It's really very, very good.  Listen in as we find an antidote to the real world's cynicism, wonder if Xavi is a comm
Amazon Prime are showing a brand new documentary about Steven Gerrard, entitled Make Us Dream.  It gets the Reducer treatment this week, as we ask - why the hell did Gerrard stay at Liverpool for so long? And how is he so....dull? Get in touch
This week's show is about the film version of The Damned United, David Peace's famous book on Brian Clough's turbulent 44-day spell with Leeds United.  Michael Sheen is brilliant as Clough, but does the movie take too many liberties with the tr
Following a dismaying week of revelations from Football Leaks and Der Spiegel, we have confirmation that football is a deeply sick, grotesque world. On that topic, this week we watched The Workers' Cup, an excellent documentary which shines a l
A look back at some of our favourite bits from the last few months: Neymar's book, CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER (00.20) Morrissey's novel, LIST OF THE LOST (5.40) Eamon Dunphy's punditry career (15.30) Jermaine Pennant's autobiography (21.20) F
Our old friend Pennant turned up on Jeremy Kyle today, and we couldn't avoid giving it the Reducer treatment 
Here we are then, 34 episodes in and we have found the worst thing we have ever seen. It's DANGEROUS GAME, a farcically bad movie starring Callum Best.  It is the first draft of a rejected Midsomer Murders script in the Pro Evo universe casted
On this week's show, a 2004/05 fly-on-the-wall documentary about former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock.  Listen in to a (sweary) episode to learn more of the man, and why in these dark and turbulent times, he represents the best of Briti
In 2013, Neymar and his father wrote a baffling book called CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER. 5 years on, it gets the Reducer treatment.
John Rain, host of the superb SMERSH podcast, joins Gavin and Seamas to run through FINAL SCORE starring Bautista, Pierce Brosnan and West Ham United.  If you're trying avoid spoilers for the film, then don't listen and don't watch Die Hard.  G
On this week's episode, we tackle the Fake News doing the rounds about Jermaine Pennant's book.  We read the book to disprove some of the yarns going around...and found the truth to be much, much worse.  Get in touch - @TheReducerPod and gavinc
After a papal-enforced week off, we've travelled back to our roots with a look at GOAL 3. (We've heard this was so bad we skipped GOAL 2).  Gavin and Seamas are joined by Greg Spring to wade through a movie assembled for roughly the price of a
On this week's show, we watch a documentary about the work of a bearded ideologue funded by the Middle East - it's All or Nothing: Manchester City! How much access does it actually offer?  Do we learn anything about the players? Is Guardiola r
25 years after it debuted, we revisit the legendary Fantasy Football with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner.  We remember some of its best moments, relive some of its biggest cringe (Brigitte Nielsen; Prince Naseem) and discuss its problems.  Wit
Today we dissect one of the maddest documentaries we have ever seen: a 48-minute long offering from 1992 based solely on the fact that Gary Lineker and snooker's Willie Thorne are good mates.  Listen in for a proper bromance, some dodgy Lineker
Given that Eamon Dunphy this week announced his retirement from RTE. we delve into his astonishing 40-year career.  Hear who he is, some of his many, many remarkable moments of infamy and a rare dressing down by Dermot Morgan on radio.  We take
Getting the smug scalpel this week is the documentary Class of 92, starring Man United legends Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Gary and Phil Neville.  Also featuring: another run-in between Seamas and a head of state (th
With England now out of the World Cup, we look at another man who took over England in dodgy circumstances and guided them to the World Cup semi finals - Mike Bassett.  Gavin likes it; Seamas doesn't.   
After a couple of weeks off where your intrepid hosts had to find time to watch the World Cup group stages/have a baby, we're back with a look at Sean Penn's absurdly meandering, overwrought, and downright batshit mental novel, BOB HONEY WHO JU
Inspired by the World Cup, we are going back to our roots with a look at some of the best and worst football ads. We look back at the glory days of the late 90s/early 2000s and ask what's happened to what was once a genuine TV event.  We also l
Days after being heralded as one of The Guardian's favourite football podcasts we're, eh, doing a non-football themed show.  But stick with us, there is still some Danny Dyer chat and a very angry dismembering of the unfathomably bad List of th
Owing to a Danny Dyer-caused existential crisis (and a scheduling conflict) we couldn't do a regular episode this week, but listen in for some of our favourite moments thus far, including  - United Passions' portrayal of the racist English  -
Football 365's Steven Chicken joins Gav and Seamas to discuss the not-nearly-as-good-as-you-remember-it, Renford Rejects.  We also deconstruct a few Irish Catholic mores, if that's more your style of thing.  Get in touch: @TheReducerPod, @gcoon
