Transfer wrap-up & more KR chaos

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/08/17

Transfer window slammed shut, so we reviewed what teams did and did not do. Then we glanced at the continuing chaos at KR. There was also a big referee discussion. Plus we had a full round of games, with two bonus ones from Europe and old rounds! It's a packed one...

Fykir's folly, Valur's vanity, KA's... klimb?

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/08/09

Víkingur maintain their lead, Valur stumble, and Fylkir struggle on all fronts. Meanwhile, KA creeps up the table, to the chagrin of Stjarnan and ÍA. Congratulations to the record-breaking Óskar Örn, and commiserations to HK who apparently only have 2 full-size goals at their facilites. We discuss it all, and throw in some pretty great puns at no extra charge.

Bonus episode - Crazy day!

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/08/03

We had to record a quick bonus episode to discuss the insanity that was last Thursday! One and a half managers fired and hired, one and a half Icelandic legends come back, and potentially the worst game in Bestadeildin so far this season.

Fram with a huge upset against listless Valur

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/08/01

We are back to discuss so many things! Transfer news are hotting up, as teams look for the smallest advantage to rise up the table. We had our first European drop-out, but more could follow on Thursday. There were upsets, plenty of goals, as is to be expected from Bestadeildin

Upset in Akureyri and New Icelandic Records in Europe

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/07/24

Short and sweet solo episode today, Ragnar goes over KA's huge win over Víkingur, KR's continuing troubles, some crucial head-to-heads that teams failed to capitalize on, and the American tech industry's contributions to Besta Deildin's scheduling difficulties. In Europe, a big (but positive) loss for Stjarnan, Valgentina's revenge over Vllaznia, Breiðablik's perfect week, and goalscoring records aplenty!

Eleven goal swing, refereeing weirdness, and......

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/07/18

We finished round 14 that started in May, with four league games and a bunch of European ties as well, with mixed results. Stjarnan were the only team to register a win in Europe, ÍA follow up their drubbing of HK with a surprise result, but at least KR didn't throw up any surprises. Lots of controversial referring, as well as some absolute away fan madness. The transfer window is now open, and we are seeing more moves as several teams desperately try and secure that top 6 finish.

Europe, cups, transfers and ÍA score 8 (EIGHT)!

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/07/11

It has been a very busy few days and we try to cover all of it! The transfer window is starting to open, and we've already seen some big action, but the action on the pitch is no less dramatic. Can Víkingur recover after a slow European start? WIll KR be relegated? And how many goals do you have to score to win a star of the week?!

The Curse of the Besta Pod

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/07/01

Round 12 (and a bit of Round 13) was played out this weekend, and we saw again how negative comments from us seem to motivate the teams in this league, so how will Breiðablik handle some forensic analysis? And will ÍA crumble now that Ragnar said something nice about them? Plus, we compare some of the teams closed in the table, go over transfer speculation, and review the statistical team of the first half.

Ryding off into the sunset

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/06/25

We're back to discuss Rounds 10 and 11, some goalkeeping stats at the halfway point, allegations of racism, the European draws, and the perhaps unwarranted sacking of Gregg Ryder.

Time travel rounds and the international break

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/06/12

Bestadeildin has taken a small break for the international window, but it's back now! We discuss the last round of games, the two Iceland games, and try to make out what is going on at KR. And can we nationalise Kyle!?

Præst saves Fylkir

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/05/30

We're back after a week hiatus, and we jump straight into a round full of fantastic goals, penalty drama and the first win of the season for Fylkir. We then review the games on Thursday as the top four teams all play each other! What a weekend we have in store...

HK Reborn

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/05/16

We start with big news surrounding KR as they fail to beat HK, getting even more red cards in the process. Then, we discuss how KA failed to fire their manager properly, more about referees, and how Kyle McLagan is great.

Víkingur are mortal!

The Besta Pod [Ever] ·

2024/05/09

The teams under pressure responded in the best way, and none more so than HK! How did they beat Víkingur?! And as KR lose their goalkeeper to a red card (again) and Valur get two sent off in their win against Breiðablik, are the referees under pressure to change their directive? We discuss all that and more on this week's episode.
