Straight Yellow - Football Podcast

One A-League club is reportedly stopping a young star from going to the U17 World Cup. Robbie Slater says if it's true, it's a disgrace. This week on Straight Yellow, Adam Peacock and Robbie Slater get stuck into a massive weekend of football. Man United fight hard at Elland Road but leave without the three points. Brighton blow Palace away early. And Robbie makes a huge call: Newcastle's new manager will do well to make it to Christmas. Then it's home to round one of the A-League. The Sydney Derby had a big crowd and a great atmosphere, but Robbie says the football was the worst he's ever seen in a derby. Auckland v Melbourne City and the F3 Derby showed what round one should look like. Plus Robbie tells his story about his last game, the big question of where the Australian Championship goes from here, and why Football Australia and the APL have to be on the same page. Drop your questions in the comments and we'll get to them later in the week. Like and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

The A-League is back, and Robbie Slater says it’s time for Australian football to stop whingeing and get behind it. Adam Peacock and Robbie are back together for a big week. They cover the A-League’s return, why the World Cup proved it’s the best place in the country for young players, and why SBS never said so on air. They also get into South Melbourne’s Australia Cup win and whether it earns them an A-League spot (it doesn’t, yet), Perth Glory’s pay troubles, and Sam Cosgrove’s fiery clash with a journalist in Auckland. Then it’s the Premier League. Lisandro Martinez has torched Manchester United’s hierarchy, and the boys ask whether this is the start of another disaster season at Old Trafford before giving their tips for the round. Along the way Robbie tells the full story of the worst cross in Fox Sports News history, plus the 9am phone call that ended with him telling Michael Cockerill exactly where to go.

Former Liverpool defender and Socceroo Brad Smith joins The Straight Yellow for a massive football discussion covering Liverpool’s 3–0 defeat to Manchester City, the controversy surrounding City’s Premier League charges, and what it all means for the integrity of English football.
