Sahhkerrr, the weather, Dundalk/Fundalk, politics, slack jawed yokels, and the merits/perils of AI. All of these get a mention this week. Plus, Quinno said Harry Kane when he meant Harry Maguire. Which one needs an apology?

If you're interested in things like Scott McTominay's nationality, why fans boo, why Italy shouldn't wear Adidas, Indian cricket, and welding, this is the show for you. If not, it's still the show for you.

This week's show was many things: it was silly...it was serious...it was funny...there was a revelation/epiphany...but above all, it was quality craic. Have at it.

Teenage kicks!

2023/10/05

The Crafty Rogues are not afraid to ask the tough questions. Why did Cosgrove have to eat humble pie? What has happened to the FIFA World Cup? And why were Newcastle wearing white shorts at home? Like we said, tough questions!

Hungry Like the Wolf

John was on the road this week, but the tyranny of distance didn't stop the boys delivering a belter of a show, albeit from separate locations. Ain't technology grand!

I want my MTV.

There was a point where this week's show jumped from the VMAs, to see-through dresses, to pregnancy tests and contraception, to the Rugby World Cup. The thing is, it all seemed quite logical. You really should listen.

Take the money and run.

The boys did a quick preview of the Rugby World Cup this week, and got some assistance from an actual Rugby World Cup winner! But rest assured, there was plenty of football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrr and general craic as well!

To explain this week's show, let's just use a direct quote from Cosgrove. 'Margaret Thatcher, hunger strikers, the Spanish FA...you get them all on the Crafty Rogues.' And there you have it.

Bonus Episode - Ardal O'Hanlon

Crafty Rogues ·

2023/08/24

Special bonus episode where Cosgrove chats to Irish comedy and acting star, Ardal O'Hanlon. Lots of people will know him as Fr Dougal Maguire from the cult comedy series, Father Ted. He has also appeared in numerous other shows and documentaries, including more recently, Derry Girls!These two border county men had a long an winding chat about growing up on either side of the border between Co. Monagan and Co. Fermanagh. Definitely more of a chat than your usual interview dynamic. Enjoy and you can

Rudy...a message to you, Rudy

Crafty Rogues ·

2023/08/23

The Crafty Rogues can never be accused of staying in their lane. This week's show covers everything from Pickleball to border patrols to facial injuries to Rudy Giuliani. Dare we say it, it's laneless.

Arraignment Night in Georgia

Crafty Rogues ·

2023/08/16

Ingerland were too good for 'Straya in the Women's World Cup semi. But the game was played after the show, so it didn't really happen, right? Right?? Other than that, this was a tasty episode. Very tasty indeed

I don't have time for Fantasy, I have Pickleball!

Carl Craig was in the house to join the boys for their traditional Premier League preview, and he didn't disappoint. If you're a football/futbol/soccer/sahhkerrr fan, this one's for you. It helps if you understand Geordie.

Sinéad O'Connor, the 'Barbie' movie, Steve Jobs' sandals, Limerick's win, and Cosgrove's jacket. They're all in the one show. Seriously.

Crafty Rogues ·

2023/07/19

Cosgrove is back from Europe and the boys hit the ground running with a show full of tales from the road...an AI program with a world class name...football galore...and the pointy end of the GAA season. Oh, and Ron DeSantis. Sorry.

If you've ever wondered what the life of a football commentator is like, you're in luck. Callum Williams sat down with the boys to discuss his accent, Birmingham, Brooklyn, fatherhood, Leo Messi, Martin Tyler, and more. This is quality craic.

Money for nothing.

2023/07/05

Cosgrove is Barcelona bound, but not before boys shared their thoughts on Wimbledon, Tyrone's meek effort, the Supreme Court, paella, Steven Gerrard's business decision, and the spirit of the game. Tasty stuff.

Owner of a lonely heart.

Crafty Rogues ·

2023/06/30

In this week's show the boys take on media corruption, loneliness, elitism, Affirmative Action, and Jesse Lingard's future. 'Why?' you ask. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. You be the judge.(It is also exactly seven (7) years since we started this podcast. You would think we would get the hang of it by now).

Liam Brady's retiring. Martin Tyler is leaving Sky Sports. And Taylor Swift is coming to town. Someone should do a podcast about these things. Done!
