    Law and Order: A-Liga Intent | February 26 2023
    Feb 28 2023
    In the A-Liga justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The PFA who investigate crime and the Independent Judiciary Committees who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. DUN DUN When the week is highlighted by claims that a coach punched one of their players and the PFA are investigating, you know it's a weird one. Stoll and Joey are joined by TNC's man in West Australia Ben Smith to discuss the allegations that were levelled against Perth Glory coach Ruben Zadkovich last week, as well as his suggestion that someone might be out to get the club. The boys are also joined at the start of the show by Taryn Heddo, who helps break down the increasingly tight race for the final playoff place in the A-Liga Femenina. Taryn also gives an insight into the importance of pride and acceptance in football and the broader community, as the team talks about a successful first-ever A-Leagues Pride round across the weekend. There's also a breakdown of the latest A-Liga Hombres round, including Nestor Irankunda's screamer to earn Adelaide a point against Melbourne Victory, and a whole lot more. Thanks and Success.

    Putting TNC in its Best Position | 20 February 2023
    Feb 20 2023
    Riding a six-game winning streak, the vibes are good around the Matildas. Surely nothing to complain about, right? Don't worry; Joey Lynch, Nick Stoll, Josh Parish and special guest Taryn Heddo found some stuff to gripe about. Then after subbing out Taryn for Nick D'Urbano, the pod breaks down the latest iteration of the Melb Derby (are the Vuck back?), Warren Moon's ouster from Brisbane Roar, the A-Liga Belt, the barmy 4-4 draw between Adelaide and Western Sydney Wanderers, and answer your questions. All that and more, including the pod's attempts to salvage some respectability after Josh was ethered by an A-Liga star on Twitter. Poi Bo! Thanks and Success.

    Glory Gorilla Warfare | 12 February 2023
    Feb 12 2023
    Sydney is Sky Blue once again after the latest iteration of the Sydney Derby! Is Max Burgess the GOAT? Should coach's consult the latest socioeconomic data before they talk to the press? Is the Sydney Derby just a case of the first goal wins? Joey, Stoll, D'Urbano, Josh, and Smith are here to break it all down. In more ALM chat, there's the future of Macarthur under Mile Sterjovski, Melbourne City's status as kings of the Box Office, where Perth Glory should set up permanent shop, and an in-depth discussion of George the Glory Gorilla's observation of a minute's silence on the weekend. On the ALW front, the finals race is heating up. Can anyone break the quad that currently exists in the top four? Canberra? Glory? Brisbane? Wanderers? And who is most likely to drop out for one of those teams? If any? And is Jordy Bos one of Australia's best left-backs already? Should Arnie cap him? Who else? Plus, there's been a change in the A-Liga Women's Belt! All that and more! Thanks and Success.

    All you're getting for Christmas is a stadium ban | Christmas 2022
    Dec 26 2022
    It's a very thanks and success TNC Christmas Special! A week on from the violent pitch invasion that forced the abandonment of the Melbourne Derby, Joey Lynch and Teo Pellizzeri discuss its continued fallout and the preliminary sanctions that have been handed down to Melbourne Victory by Football Australia. Do they go too far? Not far enough? And what is to be made of the continued episodes of anti-social behaviour that continues to haunt Victory? The APL's decision to sell the Grand Final to Sydney has been pushed into the background by the Derby, but consternation continues to emanate from the matter and Joey and Teo discuss it. Then, Nick D'Urbano jumps on as the boys turn their thoughts to the actual football. Is Steve Corica running out of time at Sydney FC? What's going wrong at the Newcastle Jets in both ALM and ALW? Can anyone stop Melbourne City in the ALW when they get everyone back fit and healthy? Then, we've got our wishes for what Australian football will have found in its Christmas stocking this year. Thanks and Success. 2022 has been a heck of a ride, we love you all, and we can't wait for 2023. And Joey Lynch is the worst person in the world.
