Pub-based punditry on the beautiful game.
The Football Pubcast is a podcast featuring four (or more) blokes, in a pub, talking football.
Shows are recorded every week from our local pub in Canary Wharf, London.
That’s right, Real Madrid and Brazil superstar Kaka has been busy endorsing throat sweets – in Japan.
This clip is a mere six seconds long, but it’s enough to show you that, even if you’re on millions of pounds a year, world-class footballers are still suckers for an endorsement. In Kaka’s case, he’s a sucker for an endorsement for suckers…
He was an on-loan goalkeeper at a seemingly doomed club, but Jimmy Glass became Carlisle United’s biggest cult hero of all time thanks to his antics during a do-or-die final day showdown.
Watch it, enjoy it, and keep an eye on the referee immediately after the goal…
I have never seen this before until I heard you lads talk about it in the pubcast I had a look and I have to sum it up in 2 word…..F%%k*n unbelievable!!! Can you load up .
This could well be the greatest own goal ever scored. Yes, really.
In terms of difficulty, angle, positioning of the keeper, the speed of the ball when it came to him, this own goal really is right up there with the very best of all time.
It’s from the Hong Kong first division match between Sun Hei SC and Citizen Hong Kong, it’s a backwards “Scorpion Kick” volley and it’s unsaveable.
Watch it, gasp, then watch it again.
Thanks to our friends at @twounfortunates for bringing this to our attention.
Just like Alan Shearer, we never get drunk. Don’t know why we’d mention “Super Al” in that context? Make sure you check out our show for the full SP.
With yours truly off for a week Christmas shopping and going out of my mind, Jim, Stu, Dan and Sean paid a visit to our seasonal home of The Moose Bar in Canary Wharf for our 60th show (yes, we’re amazed we’ve lasted this long, too…)

We’ll be back next week with a special pre-Christmas show, featuring (hopefully!) a foosball (or table football, if you prefer) tournament between the pubcasters.
Table football on a podcast – they said it couldn’t be done. Listen in next week as we prove them right wrong.
If you’ve been anywhere near a TV or the internet this week, you’ll have seen the now-infamous “Benton” clip.
Here’s a football-related mashup…
We’ve been talking about great (and not-so-great) football adverts on the Pubcast this week and this classic from the people at Carlsberg will warm the cockles of your heart. It features a cast of England legends, managed by the late, great Sir Bobby Robson, as the world’s best ever pub team. Sit back and enjoy…
Can’t believe that not only did you steal this one from me Si, you even used my “late, great Sir Bobby Robson” line!! Outrageous plagiarism!!
Not so much plagiarism, more working the site because (so far) you’ve not been able to 
Pull your finger out Silver!
Two faces from the Pubcast’s murky past return to join Si, Jim, Dan and Sean for this week’s special Monday night instalment of The Football Pubcast.
On this week’s show:
