48 Shades Of Football

The chaps take a trip to the park to discuss the fan experience at three different c-word proof grounds before going on to discuss red-card mania, flying elbows and penalties!

It's almost a full house tonight as The Chief calls in from his transfer window taxi while The Phantom returns to host. We review the opening weekend, talk u22s, transfers, prediction leagues and look at the upcoming weekend's games.

With the new K-League season just hours away the chaps return from hibernation to discuss all things Korean-football related.

The chaps are joined by Devon Rowcliffe, author of Who Ate All The Squid? Football Adventures in South Korea, to discuss his book about Ian Porterfield's time in Busan plus plenty about buses, brown envelopes, hooligan cos-players and more!

We're back with another fancam as Paul sits down with a Korean FC Seoul fan to see if they agree about how this season has gone.

Paul is back with another fancam as he tracks down a Gangwon fan to talk about the season so far.

Another in our occasional series of 'fancams' sees us talk to DolsotDan about his Kleague life. (Note this was recorded prior to Ulsan being thrashed by Pohang)

Mark, Tom and The Chief are back to talk about all things K1 and K2. We talk about the upcoming '48 Shades Supermatch' as Seongnam host Seoul with fans back in the stadiums, there's Korean National games, the rise, rise and rise of Suwon FC, a certain German and much more......

The chaps assemble in Yeongtong to discuss an abysmal weekend of the K1 relegation round as well as the FA Cup and increasingly farcical ACL. Due to the performance of their respective teams, some of the language used has regressed to the earlier days of the podcast.

Mark returns to discuss Seongnam, the decline of the Bluewings and the curious case of the AFC.

The Seongnam contingent is otherwise engaged so Paul takes the remaining chaps through a night at the football in the Covid-19 era.

Mark ambushes Phantom into a riverside chat about the latest goings-on in K-League.

Mark and Joe are on hand to discuss the first 48shades Derby of the year before Joe deep dives into statistics to try and work out why home teams simply can't win in K2 this year. There's an examination of the U22 substitue rule, plus the usual preview of the upcoming weekend's action.

Mark, Joe and a late arriving Paul join to talk K2 and the remarkable goalscoring feats of Suwon FC. the remarkable missing K League merchandise and the ever increasing likelihood of a fan-free season.

Paul returns to celebrate FC Seoul's moment in the sun while The Chief navigates us safely through the choppy waters of K2 and Tom and Mark discuss Seongnam, K1 and Incheon's desire not to be just a football club anymore.

The chaps look back at the first week of K1 and K2 in which Seongnam almost certainly wrapped up the title, before discussing the unusual experience of watching games on TV and making predictions for the upcoming weekend's matches.

The 2020 K-League is finally upon us and Mark and the Phantom travel to Cheonan to sit by the side of a pitch to reminisce about the good and bad of K-Leagues gone by, stick the boot into E-Land and offer some wild guesses at what's going to happen in Week 1.

The K-League 1 season is over and a fun final afternoon it was too. But that's not all that's happened this past week as the chaps discuss the Women's AFC Club Championship, Korea's AFC future and plenty more besides.

The chaps find themselves in deepest Moran on a Thursday afternoon. While most are at work or school, the league of forgotten men and wannabes comes out to play.

The boys are back from their mid-season break with a slightly rusty performance in which they discuss all the recent happenings in the world of Korean football.
