This pod has been such an important part of my routine for the last few years and to not have it now going forwards is a shame but I'll always be grateful for the analysis and the laughs. All the best lads.
As good as the new format sounds, you are well aware we all want to see these podcasts of Joe acting like a madman and baby boy Pinder doing the goo goo ga ga
@willsaenz6320 Also, the dog and the bullard are too enthusiastically in on the joke now. Pinder, the fresh faced baby boy that he is, is still relatively new to the game. Untarnished by the "if you can't beat them, join them" principle, he still remains genuinely irked by Joe's antics, refusing to engage in the madness. This is why we tune in, it's what we pay to see. It's the gas that keeps our lights on during an energy crisis.
Ehhh, at first, I was disappointed by Pinder’s capitulation. Then I found out that Joe pulled the diabolical “got your nose” trick on him, and refused to return it until he agreed to do the noise. It’s just his thumb, Pinder!!! He’s not capable of snatching your nose from your face!! When you think he is providing visual proof, what he is showing you is his thumb!!! I don’t know why I bother. It’ll be over a decade before you are even old enough to download this app…
I was already sad it was going to end, and then 2:04 happened. Now there's barely any of me left. Thank you for creating engaging content that never underestimated the power of humour. You've helped my mental health for many, many months now and I will be sad to see it change.
@S Ka I'm realising on reflection that I sounded pretty broken there. My newborn had me up all night, so when the podcast dropped, I was feeling pretty fragile! But thanks dude :)
I kinda do hope Joe eventually just gets a "Joe annoys people he pays to be there" podcast because that's why this has become my favorite podcast and practically the only one I regularly listen to.
I’ll miss you Joe. You created an amazing thing. I’ll miss the Podcast for sure. It’s been great all these years. Thank you for being my favorite weekly football companion.
This podcast has been really big in reigniting my love of football. I was obsessive as a kid, fell off as a teenager, and then when the pandemic hit and I'd watched everything on Netflix and Amazon except the football documentaries, I got back into it. The podcast was so useful for giving me more context around football now vs when I last paid attention to it and entertained me to no end as well. So I'll miss it a lot, but thanks for getting me back into the game.
Rooooooooooneeeeyyyyyyy! No pls don't end this pod! Will miss this regularly organised chaos with some football chat 😢 Tuesday evenings in Sydney won't be as fun
Football is the most important of the least important things - Sacchi (or Joe Bovine). That's what made this pod so special, the levity alongside world class tactical insight. Looking forward to Jon's hosting alongside his profound ignorance about Tolkien's eagles ❤⚽
We'll always have Freddos economics, John and JJ's business podcast, Lore of the Goblin Kingdom and the Madness of Lord Bovine's Lemonade stand. Good gates to all of you my friends - good gates now closing
Can't wait for the podcast to be back in a couple of months once they realize what a huge mistake they've made. P.S- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it lads
When I look back at my life 20 years from now I will no doubt remember you guys as a significant part of my late 20s early 30s. I’m gutted and still can’t accept this as reality. It’s weird to feel close to people you’ve never met. Best of luck to the greatest RU-vid team ever.
It’s ridiculous to think that it went from a few mates on a podcast to now a massive cold corporate empire. This was the last stand and we all miss it now. It’ll never be like this again - the way it should always be. Hilarious, nonsensical and most of all, personal. But now every football journalism channel is becoming less analytical and more corporate - views and clicks over community engagement. *RIP TIFO IRL*
27:04 this is such a good point. Football isnt just about results, there's the entertainment side, the pride, the connection to the players, the connection the team has to the city, so many things that are just immeasurable. I think Leeds are a great example of this. There are a lot of (often American) Leeds fans talking about how Jesse Marsch had a better record that Bielsa in his final season, and bettered the two other managers who came after, but the difference is we LOVED Bielsa, he gave us a style of our own, he understood us, we were proud of him. That goes so much deeper than just points per game or expected goals, and is something that is all too rare in modern football.
This pod has brightened my day on innumerable occasions, and found a funny comfortable safe place for my mind to wander and learn during good times and bad. Hope it stays, Love the pod and all of you guys!
I'll miss this. Really will. Got the chance to interview 3 of the lads and they are even nicer and funnier than you reckon. Support them whatever they do!!
Thanks so much for the shout out of our game! Nice little surprise when we heard it this afternoon and we popped up! Big love for Robbie Brady being the first answer out for Premier League players 🤣
We're going to miss the podcast, no one does it like you guys! Bring on the new format though! Also Luke has stormed off in a strop after Reuben remembered Tom's name and not his 😅Great having you on the pod Reuben, can't wait for the live show tomorrow night! See you all there Ros & Luke | Bore Draw
Its weird that now I'll no longer have a football podcast to listen to after having it in my life for so long. A shame, but hey, maybe I'll find a new hobby to fill the void instead. All the best lads.
It was fun while it lasted, thanks for being a part of our lives every week! Will miss you Joe and the guys! Football podcasts will never be the same. Hope you guys make a WWE-esque return someday in the future! ❤
Please return to this format. It is so much more entertaining, while somewhat interesting the new format just feels like any other format. I just listened to the Ten Hag pod and while probably very informative, my god its dull. Tuned out after 15 minutes and it became white noise while I was doing other stuff. I love the original format and the chemistry of the round table discussions!
Geez was it just me or was he kind of a downer on this one? Some good comments but sounded like a funeral at times. I hope that isn't the more serious vibe they want to move towards.
Since you absolutely insist on ending the podcast, please bless us with some of the Football Manager content over the summer. It was a blast to watch last time!
Sad to see this end! Started listening back in 2018 and have listened on and off since then. Lots of interesting personalities contributed to the pod, and the sillyness grew on me. Dont know what the future holds, but I hope JJ & John do some sort of long form football talk.Thanks lads, All the best!
As a celtic fan, ange postecoglou was a revelation when he signed for us. Say what you will about the league, but putting it aside for now: he came in as a relative unknown, laughed at from all corners and left celtic fans bewildered by the appointment; he spoke excellently at early press conferences, and quickly got the fans backing him as a character and as a football manager; played mouth-watering football that won and provided sensational performances in big games (even leaving fans like me proud of the teams 1st half performance in a 3-0 loss to real madrid); and steered the club in the right direction from all aspects (including at a board level, and a fan level in my opinion). Daniel levy and the spurs fans simply must back him, and i believe the results will come
Simply the best bit of the podcast at 25:08 Seb providing a little bit of education, and just in the background boss man joe just rolling his eyes and letting his intrusive thoughts win, as the class know it all opens his mouth.
This may be the best podcast series I’ve ever listened to. I started listening and watching during lockdowns when I was seriously depressed and would often listen while gardening. It became a respite and almost therapy for me. Ironically the wacky and wildness of it all kept me stable and sane during those very low days. It got me through those awful months both at home and during university studies on Teams. Now I can’t believe it’s ending- it’s almost like my whole ‘lockdown life’ is ending with podcasts and channels concluding just as we head into our new lives in a post-pandemic era. It’s mental that all of that happened and I had Tifo Podcast as my steady rudder telling me ‘it’ll all be okay - now here’s Joe Devine!’. Now I talk to my girlfriend about it and how it kept me sane and the laughs in the garden I’d have by myself with only nature watching me as I do some weeding or something. Incredible memories- great laughs and it’s so sad to see it die but it went out on a big bang at Leicester Square which is amazing! Good luck to all those who are gone or leaving like Alex Stewart and Steve Hankie who will just have brilliant careers. This podcast has warmed my heart and I hope things are only just getting better. Also please do some sort of annual mess-around football podcast like at Xmas because it’s just too good to let it die for good. Good luck Tifo and thank you so much for a brilliant hilariously beautiful and wonderful informative podcast series! What a fantastic cast! It’s just sad to see it go but new adventures await and that theme tune will always be part of me forever (in a very sacred way). You have impacted my life in a way you could never have believed and I want to say thank you for that - because you know what my thoughts were right- ‘life will be alright because here’s Joe Devine, JJ Bull and John McKenzie’. Cheers Tifo football podcast for keeping me sane during a time I was low, depressed and needed that escape from the chaos of a pandemic reality as three years rush in front of our eyes. You don’t realise how good something is before it’s gone- and I think we’ve realised that now. Cheers TIFO IRL for just being there when I needed something like you most
I literally rolled a joint for this episode. Ahh, Tifo, I'm really gonna miss this format guys. Thanks for years of solid good chaotic football nonsense. 🎉🎉🎉
As an American, I became aware of world football thanks to things like the FIFA games. But I became 'football literate' in things like tactics, formations, budgets, transfer intricacies and more thanks to things like Tifo! I still think people would flock to the pod with how you've done it (as I have done) so I am sad to see it change, but I also know whatever it becomes will be well thought-out and informative! Thanks for what you've all done and for what's to come!
Thank you for all the memories, I’ve honestly never had this much fun listening to a podcast. Just see it as the biggest compliment that no one wanted this show to end, but all things come to it’s conclusion and this isn’t a exception of course. Thank you and hopefully the new format will be even better, either way the support won’t lessen, cheers!
i wish we could cyberbully joe to continue the podcast but its apparent he doesnt give af 😭. jokes aside, the pod has been something i looked forward to weekly for such a long time, and i will miss it dearly. hope the boys get together for a reunion once in a while 🤧
Not listened yet and will do so later, but if certain parts are not interested in doing the Pod anymore, that's a shame, but let them do other things and let the guys who want to or at least don't mind doing it, carry it on? It's a very popular pod.
Insane to me how tifo went from this to what it is now. Do we really think The Athletic FC will provide comprehensive analysis of premier league tactics in terms of goblin density? Truly a loss for football fans everywhere
Guys, was watching u from Kyiv during there year, while russians nazis were shelling us and ruining Ukrainian cities. U really helped me sometimes just to smile and laugh. This autumn and winter were really hard in Kyiv, there were constant problems with electricity and long blackouts in the city and when i got the opportunity i watched u and it was so cool. New format will be nice, i m sure, but the pod is something else. Please, don t end it
So many memories from this format. Nice to see everyone excluding Alex Stewart who was obviously sacked so understandingly he didnt appear. Looking forward to the new format.
A worthy send off for a noble and proud audio product. Looking forward to Jon bringing his trademark brand of effervescence and enthusiasm to the new format.
as much as im gonna miss this version of the podcast, i have been missing the more topical podcasts that you used to do and im excited to see what they talk about next season
The football player that Reuben looks most like is undoubtedly Craig Wighton. For the uninitiated or uninformed about Scottish Football, you might have seen a clip of him went viral last week cause a teammate shouted bald at him during a post season interview. Spitting image imo. Anyway thanks for the podcasts they’ve been class xoxo
I hope this means that Joe is going to have the time to do more history vids - the original reason i discovered Tifo and still by far the best "of-that-type" of footy history pods. I still think you should do it without any rehearsal for an hour or so every monday but i'm sure the new stuff will be a new evolution in the Tifo roster so thanks for the pun(dit)s and do some shows around the UK - you'd be surprised at how well they would sell!
gonna miss the podcast loads, it always brightened my mood and provided a ton of laughs. you guys are incredible hosts and I'm very excited to see what john will bring us on the new pod! VIVA LA TIFO
Can we at least have repeats of the live shows and a commitment to bring these back for international tournaments for live podcasts I need points are bad to be part of my past and future
Thank you guys for the hours upon hours of entertainment. I will miss having the show as part of my week and look forward to supporting the new format.
thanks for everything it's been a blast. I'll definitely miss this format of the podcast. i know that the new format will be brilliant too but I still wish this one would continue 😢
The best podcasts are always the ones where the hosts openly despise it and resent having to do it, so they completely stop giving a shit. The curse of podcasts.
What makes this podcast good is the personalities, such a shame that it is ending. Not sure how next season can top this banter era, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
The original podcast format, the humor, Joe, helped me fall in love with football, genuinely, it will be greatly missed. Optimistic about the new format though!
Loved that I've discovered what's become my favorite podcast about 2 months before the format completely changed and my club regressed from top 2 to in Europa lmao
The other night I dreamt of playing wide, gegenpressing five a side. Defenders sit in a line, JOSEPH DEVINE Rueben Pinder, J.J. Bull, and Jonny Mack. Gates are good, Aberdeen, dinosaurs, hobbits So off topic, so chaotic, great podcast Right? Right.
