For and Against

Arguing the toss over the big issues in sport off the field of play, For and Against takes sport seriously....sometimes! David Gill, Simon Johnson, Stephen Reilly and Paul Roach rip apart the controversies in sport and take a look under the bonnet to see what makes the sports 'industry' tick. From the commercial to the philosophical, from the sublime to the ridiculous, For and Against is your deep dive into how and why sport matters.

I know what you’re thinking. If For & Against can take a week off between episodes, then surely it’s okay for the AFL Finalists to do the same…well, think again! Because the team have something to say it. About that and about Sydney derby TV timeslots, the Carlton-Coach-turned-Coffee-Carrying-Superhero and when a Rugby League Immortal truly becomes immortal. And that’s all before Red Card Yellow Card brings us home with the class or lack thereof you’ve become accustomed to! No byes for us - enjoy the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 139 – It’s Not Sport But We Like It – Special Edition

Every now and then, there’s something in the quasi-not-quite-sporting world that catches For & Against’s eye. So imagine our delight when a string of It’s Not Sport But We Like It stories emerged at once in our post-Olympics haze! There was only one solutions – a show dedicated to the passionate, competitive, skilful and oh-so-sporting-in-their-own-way worlds of Hobby Horsing, Snail Racing, Speed Jigsaw Puzzling and Sydney Swan Fan Mingling…oh dear, what could possibly go wrong? If that’s all too much, fear not as a more traditional overflow of Olympic off-field behaviour finds its way into Red Card Yellow Card!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 138 – Ah Paris, Oo la la and au revoir

Did we love the Olympics in the city of love…discuss, rant, rave, rate! That’s the mission of the For & Against team as we justify too many late nights, early mornings and frustrations using the official app! There’s also an acronym overload of NBA TV deals, AI overreach, EPL OS to work through. All that plus a special gold-silver-bronze segment of red card yellow card. Oo la la indeed!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toyota have announced they are leaving The Olympic Partner program after the Paris Olympics – sacre bleu! Quel happened? Well, For & Against is here to break it down. We also look at how the Olympics has flexed its muscles by re-routing the most famous finish in all of sport. Sports funding, sporting capitals, sports diplomacy, sports streaming and Major League Eating. And then the most interactive session of Red Card Yellow Card we’ve had since Rugby League started monitoring their players’ social media accounts! Enjoy another fun episode of For & Against!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 136 – It’s a Cricket Party in the USA

But did anyone in Australia know? And should a world cup ever be televised by one of these upstart new-fangled streaming services instead of our much loved traditional advertising-supported free-to-air TV channels? Well, you know who knows? The For & Against Team, of course! They’re also keen to tackle the offside rule in football, the AFL’s drug policy and the holy/unholy alliance between sport and gambling being consummated by the CEO of one becoming the CEO of the other. And that’s all before we get to sports people behaving badly in Red Card Yellow Card. Come join us for the fun-filled roundtable of wisdom that is For & Against!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
