We thought as part 2 was "oven ready" why not put it out there? This the second half of our long, rambling night in the virtual bar when we talked about our favourite football video games. Do you remember the 'Club Football series'? Or love This is Football 2003 as much as the boys? If so you should enjoy the rest of our video games special.

Forgive the messy schedule recently, but we are back.Not just with any old episode, but a 2-part special on video games. Trice, Dobby and Lacey were in the bar till the early hours discussing the wonderful world of football video games. Fifa, Pro Evo and Football Manager are all up for discussion as the lads return to their youth to talk personal favourites. Also, stand by for some incredible Pro Evo 2013 commentary from Mark Lawrenson. Don't worry part two will be dropping soon but this seemed the best way to while the boys take a break from the bar ahead of a new recording schedule. Be warned if you thought it was niche so far, you ain't seen nothing yet.Follow/like us on social media;Twitter: @playoutfrombarFacebook: playingoutfromthebarInstagram: @playingoutfromthebarEmail any points of discussion/stories to us.Email : playingoutfromthebar@gmail.com

The boys once again convened in the virtual bar, this time to discuss the weird and wonderful world of football club ownership. We look at bizarre regimes from Darlington, Blackburn, Newcastle United, Leeds United and more. Also brought to the table is the bizarre tale of Ivan Savvidis the owner of POAK. Plus, Jack manages to find some academic support of his argument on Pele in the social section.  Contact the show at : playingoutfromthebar@gmail.com 

Football and broadcast media are inseparable in the modern day, but this doesn’t mean they don’t produce brilliantly shambolic moments.In this episode, Lacey, Dobby & Tricey produce a forensic analysis of TV studio banter. Some of the best moments from TV and radio are discussed, everything from Robbie Savage coming under attack on 606, to Charlie Nicholas’ superb put down to Jeff Stelling.So pour a drink, grab a barstool and join the boys as we dive into the world of football punditry.This is Playing Out From The Bar.Follow/like us on social media;Twitter: @playoutfrombarFacebook: playingoutfromthebarInstagram: @playingoutfromthebarEmail any points of discussion/stories to usEmail: playingoutfromthebar@gmail.com

The boys are back for another night in the bar to talk about football documentaries. Sporting docs in general are more popular than ever in 2020, so why not focus on some of our favourites from the mad world of football. If you want a sideways analysis of 'Sunderland Till I Die', 'All or Nothing', or 'Take Us Home: Leeds United' then this is the podcast for you. In addition, Lewis (Trice) hosts a special football documentary quiz  - Brent or not? While Jack brings to light a remarkable theory, for the Pele saga. Remember to like/follow the pod on social media;Twitter: @playoutfrombarInstagram: @playingoutfromthebarFacebook: playingoutfromthebar*Link to the article referenced by Lacey can be found here:https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/footballs-greatest-ever-hoax-was-1958-world-cup-faked-cia

That's right listeners we have another episode to bring you! Here is episode 3 - earlier than expected. The boys take a seat at the bar to discuss some stories from over the years, when British footballers make the move overseas. It's our Brits Abroad special. Tricey, Dobby and Lacey are set the task of creating a dream 5-a-side team from the players they discuss, with some interesting choices at the end.If you want to know more about Matt Derbyshire's spell in Cyprus, or Alan Hutton's time on the beach in Mallorca, then this is the podcast for you.

In this episode Lewis (Dobby), Lewis (Tricey) and Jack (Lacey) are talking about their clubs, and why they support them with a few stories thrown in for good measure. It’s different to what the usual nonsense will be, a bit more of an introductory episode to set the tempo for the series ahead.The boys still had an enjoyable night at the bar and thought it would be worth publishing, so we hope you enjoy regardless.We also have an update on the Pele debate/debacle, while Tricey reveals a major dilemma for the lads to solve. We would also really appreciate a like/follow on social media;Twitter: @playoutfrombarInstagram: @playingoutfromthebarFacebook: playingoutfromthebar

Little bonus episode this week to kick us off on Playing Out From The Bar. Here is part 2 of our first night in the bar. The boys get some unpopular opinions off their chest and begin to tackle 'the biggest liars in football', with one man in particular taking centre stage. Although this is technically our second release, 'Episode 2 proper' will be out next week. *Sound quality is again a bit up and down throughout this episode, but stay with us.

Ok, so we made it. Episode 1 is here, with a caveat. The boys were in the bar a little longer than planned on opening night so EP1 is a two-parter. In the first half, Tricey, Lacey and Dobby are talking debuts, with everything from Jonathan Woodgate in Madrid, to David Nugent for England.The lads also visit the social media corner to look at a twitter argument that could rival the famous Jackson Martinez 28 V 29 saga. It maybe a shambles but it should be a fun series. Let's do this. Follow us on Twitter: @playoutfrombar & Instagram: @playingoutfromthebar

Get a little taste of things to come on the Playing Out From The Bar podcast, in this sneak preview of episode 1. Lewis (Dobby), Jack (Lacey) and Lewis (Tricey) attempt to explain why this podcast has come about, and more importantly what it will be about. It could be nonsense. It might be a bit of shambles, but who cares? Grab a cold one and join us in the bar over the next few weeks as the boys discuss everything and anything in the world of football. Including; the implausible tales of Pele, why so many football documentaries end up like The Office, and our all-time favourite football-related social media arguments.
