Illustrated Game Podcast

This week we discuss the league cup fixtures, excessive ticket prices, Russell Brand's the trews, and why poor people have lost again. Get in touch - theillustratedgame@gmail.com / @IllustratedGame  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

DISCLAIMER: We do not hold any serious opinion on Scottish independence. The following is intended to amuse. A futuristic vision of independent villages, towns and people all competing to play in the World Cup is simply amusing to us and is in no way a suggestion that Scottish independence would set any sort of bad precedent. The jokes aren't even really funny.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Accompany Joe and Alex on a (at times standard, at times surreal) journey through the week's football. Songs included. "New goals, new passion, it's better. I don't know where my medals are. No shirt, no nothing. I played for France 45 times, we had two shirts a game, so that's 90 games. I don't have any. I don't want to have anything that gives me memories. Like a prisoner. You can feel very quickly like a prisoner of your past, of your memories. I prefer to be free, and think about tomorrow."  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're back with an enormous jazz fusion bang. T.I.G more surreal and unnecessary than ever before. Find out why my Grandmother is Glen Hoddle. Discover the truth behind Luke Shaw's fitness struggles. Uncover the realities of modern surrealist football comedy. Join Martin and Joe on a trek through the wooded glen of the future (and the past).  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Alex and Joe get together for one last bash at World Cup punditry. They end up mainly talking about films, stats, advertising and dog rape. A success.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this fourth episode of T.I.G's World Cup specials series, Alex Stewart joins host Joe Devine to discuss the quarter final games. There's a couple of smashing songs (one about Alex's dad), a Game of Thrones analogy, some conspiracy chat, and a very rude comment about Hilary Mantel (very undeserved).

We're upstairs at the Old Red Lion Theatre our wonderful podcast sponsor, joined again by resident mascot Rolo and there's even a surprise appearance by landlord Damien! Joe is joined by Martin and Alex. There's some pedo chat (what with the Rolf news) and a rendition of Right Said (Brazilian) Fred. Also, Martin is really drunk, so..  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rolo couldn't even watch. Disclaimer - due to being in central London, there is occasional car noise. Many apologies, we were only three floors up. THE GANG ARE BACK, and this time it's to talk about the second week of the majorly awesome World Cup. Joe is joined by Alex and Martin as usual, and for one night only special guest Arseblog's Andrew Allen hits up the T.I.G pod. This episode is sponsored by the Old Red Lion Theatre, HOME of football in North London (not entirely accurate) and we're upstairs in the landlord's living room, doing the dirty with his dog. Many football conversations occur, also there's some songs, Jim Davidson makes an appearance - and of course, there's some entirely unprofessional, borderline inappropriate jokes.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

To the left, to the left is Rolo our friendly mascot for this week's pod. The gang reassemble for their first World Cup special podcast. Martin, Alex and Joe convene in the dark recesses above the lovely Old Red Lion Theatre pub, which coincidentally is sponsoring the World Cup Special podcasts. We've watched all of the World Cup up to and including Germany v Portugal and we're raring to go, which is why there's about 90 minutes of talking here. Skip to the middle for England and enjoy Johnny Cash's famous and popular "Walk the invisible, disappearing, World Cup football spray referee's line". WE'RE BACK NEXT WEEK with Andrew Allen from Arseblog.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For our final regular podcast of the season we were thrilled to be joined by Twitter heavyweight, South London Hardcore don and Yids writer Jack McInroy. Alex Stewart of Putnielsingoal joins Martin Race and Host Joe Devine to chat about the seasons final games and general outcome. We also mention the England squad and LOADS OF STUFF OVER NEARLY TWO HOURS. We'll be back for the F.A. Cup probably, and then the World Cup, but apart from that the season is over so we'll see you all in August. BYE.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pick Me Up is over, we sold all our shit and now we're back to chatting about football (actually not until minute 27 today) with Martin Race, Philippe Fenner, Alice Devine, Alex Stewart and today's guest Chris Smith! This podcast includes an awful lot of willy nilly's. Joe interviews some other artists at Pick Me Up, we chat about all of the week's football and the F.A's interest in setting up a B Team league in the future. There's basically just a lot of stuff... It's long. Also we nicked the music this week from Misfits and Robocop's gameboy game.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the final episode of the Pick Me Up trilogy, host Joe Devine is joined as per usual by Martin Race and Philippe 'Philfen' Fenner. Though little preperation was done, the gang hide this well with an actual song (or two) and some serious footieball chat. Listen in for our thoughts on Chelsea, both over the weekend and against Atletico in the Champion's League, and to hear about the mysterious bad wolf. NO RACISM OR PAEDOPHILIA TALK FOR ONCE.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pick Me Up is about to begin and as such there was zero preparation for this podcast. Host Joe Devine is joined by Alex Stewart and Martin Race to hash together an hour of usable footage. Here it is.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we gather for T.I.G Podcast Weekly after a hard days work setting up our exhibition at Somerset House's Pick Me Up fair. We have not prepared and therefore it's almost exactly the same as usual. Martin Race and Philippe Fenner join host Joe Devine to chat about the weekend's premier league, F.A Cup, and various other odds and ends including though not limited to; muscles, Ukraine, Hull & more Pandas. Plus there's an excellent improvised song at the end called "He's not the bully, no, the other two are" which is worth skipping to if you get bored. MAD STUFF. x  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

From inside the furry belly-button of the giant Ur-Panda, host Joe Devine is joined by Martin Race and Alex Stewart. The chatter concerns Champion's League hoo-da, Premier League hoo-de and some manager goss. Martin lets loose his UKIP representative side, Alex shivers over stones and Joe sings about David Moyes to the tune of the Pixies. IT'S ALL TO PLAY FOR.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With an astonishing shortage of pundits and a last minute cancellation of guests, this week's podcast is just Joe and Martin talking alone. Don't worry though because they're the best bits of the T.I.G podcast and they're both here to entertain you. You might be asking why the episode is called Black Dutch Players - well, due to the haphazard and casual way in which this episode came to be, certain unexpected tangents were taken and we ended up there. Like normal. As usual, most music was belligerently used without permission, this time from Pokemon.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The gang return in full force this week as host Joe Devine is joined by new daddy Martin Race, Frenchman Philippe "Philfen" Fenner, loud-mouthed and uneducated Alex Stewart and this week's returning guest Pete Starr from Match Pint and T.I.G's very own #ComedyCommentary. Alice works hard upstairs getting those books ready for #PickMeUpLondon and because she's so tired and hasn't seen her friends in days, we're asking our fans to tweet in #WeLoveAlice to keep her spirits up through these rough times! Tonight we chat Manchester derby, Arsenal's inability to stay in the running and Everton's dominance - as well as catching up on the Premier League action from the weekend and throwing in Sunday's El Classico for good measure. It's an especially long episode but stay tuned for some great songs, lots of sensible footy chatter and a few good old pedo gags.
