The Crafty Rogues is a podcast featuring John Cosgrove and Stephen Quinn. Cosgrove is from Aghadrumsee in the North of Ireland. Quinno is from Wollongong in Australia. Between them they’ve watched/attended/played thousands of games of football/futbol/soccer. However, they’re just as happy talking about music, movies, food, drink, politics, drink, books, culture and the ex-pat experience The Crafty Rogues, available each week wherever you access your podcasts. Could be tasty.

With an election on the horizon, the boys delivered a show full of references to sport, airports, rock bands, TV shows, and New Zealand accents. Okay, there was some election stuff, too. But mainly sport, airports, rock bands, TV shows, and New Zealand accents.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

The election is over, and the people have spoken - loudly! In other news, John invented an accent, Quinno went to Duluth, and 'pique' is an excellent Scrabble word. Did we mention that the election is over?Bởi The Crafty Rogues

Jet lag, shmet lag! The show must go on, and it did. The boys touched on topics as diverse as wine, beer, Leon Bridges, Sharon Horgan, colonialism, Vini Jnr, Erling Haaland, Danny Welbeck, flight cancellation protocol, and...wait for it...Troy Parrott. Yes, THAT Troy Parrott!Bởi The Crafty Rogues

The boys came straight from the sahhkerrr field to record this episode. We're not kidding. Quinno still had his shin pads on, and John was a full-kit wanker. It's tasty stuff.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

It was a very Minnesotan show this week. There were shout-outs for Grand Marais, New Ulm, the Vikings, the Lynx, the Loons, and of course, Monday night Fall League in Roseville. Rude not to.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

There are many teaching moments in this week's show. Don't confuse 'man dip' with 'man sauce' is one of them. As is, never read the comments section. Both are just common sense, really. You're welcome.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

"There's a lot of top-shelf craic sprinkled throughout this week's show. And among the "toppest shelfest" (technical term) is the list of the best gags from the Edinburgh Fringe. If you like hearing two grown men cry with laughter, it's the segment for you!Bởi The Crafty Rogues

It's Premier League preview week with the great Carl Craig, who added his football wisdom AND his musical stylings to the show. Cosgrove made some bold predictions, Carl made some bold cultural references, and Quinno did his best to keep up. Hey, the Poch took the USMNT job! This could be fun.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

Quinno's jet lag be damned, the boys were in sparkling form this week. Especially if you're a fan of the Calm app, the North Sydney Bears, political optimism, Olympic backstories, and the Fermanagh women's GAA football team. Let's be honest, who isn't?Bởi The Crafty Rogues

The show had a distinctive French flavor this week, which seemed appropriate as the Olympics got under way in Paris. What happens when you replace a simple sandwich maker from Australia with a chef from France? You get extra sauce where even a humble ham and cheese sandwich gets a little "Je ne sais pas quoi".…

As Quinno swans around Sydney, it was left to Ruairi Barnwell to return to the Crafty studio and fill the deminutive shoes. Hurling, Football, Slaggin', Bog walks, Irish networking skills and of course plenty of craic!Bởi The Crafty Rogues

It's Quinno's last show before he heads to 'Straya for a couple of weeks, and it was a good 'un. Well, especially if you're interested in Tenacious D, biographies, All Ireland Finals, Dr. Ruth, Alexi Lalas, and Icelandic youth soccer teams. Who isn't?Bởi The Crafty Rogues

Cosgrove's back from Ireland and the craic was top shelf. Consider this for a list of topics addressed: singing lessons, the oldest bar in Ireland, Hozier, university orientation, Jurgen Klopp, England's Euros semi-final win, landscapes, Jimmy Anderson, and Alexi Lalas. Sorry about that last one.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

Quinno was more than a little unwell, but Cosgrove picked up the slack in fine style. It actually ended up being a really fun show, especially if you're a fan of Toronto, Crunchies, USA cricket, watching football at Brit's, and N'Golo Kante. Rory McIlroy fans may feel differently.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

It's tournament time in Europe and the Americas, and the boys are all over it. Yet, they still managed to squeeze in discussions about lawn mowing, art galleries, Star Wars action figures, Graham Rix's hair, and Saoirse Ronan. Rude not to, really.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

John's headed to the homeland with his son, but not before a pre-trip show that involved female Vikings, lottery wins, a TV show, excessive rain, Mikel Arteta's personality, Cole Palmer's looks, and the relative merits of experts. All the intellectual food groups, really.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

There was a bit of an Easter theme running through this week's show. Why? Well, Manchester City vs Arsenal was dull. John missed the game because he was at church. He was at church to attend Pastor Jeff Cowmeadow's final sermon. Oh, and it was Easter.Bởi The Crafty Rogues

With Carl Craig as a guest, this was always going to be a football-centric show, and yet here are three of the biggest takeaways: It's the collective over the individual...chocolate solves the problems of the world...and US Newcastle Brown Ale is not the same as UK Newcastle Brown Ale.
