Welcome to Part 2 of our DOUBLE Episode Special of "The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom".

Released simultaneously, covering; “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” in our review of football in 2025.

This DOUBLE Episode Special is a wide ranging review of the wider football landscape and neither Boro or Everton heavy or a concentration on the usual Premier League suspects.

So, whoever you support or follow, whether you are a match going fan or an armchair supporter, we think we have something for you across the 2 x episodes.

After covering the GOOD stuff in Episode 28, this Episode 29 concentrates on what we consider some of the BAD & UGLY aspects of football across the year - and there are some brilliant rants and discussions to get your teeth into, including.

• Why Some Clubs Never Seem to Get Penalties
• Own Goals v Former Clubs
• The Birmingham City New Year's Day Curse
• Celtic - Enough Said
• Crap Owners
• Mo Salah
• Alexander Isaak
• Alejandro Garnancho
• John Terry
• The National League Promotion & Playoff Picture
• Crap Managers
• FIFA
• Ticket Pricing
• VAR
• Refereeing Standards
• And Much More.......

It's a pretty packed episode, indicating that there are many things that get proper football fans riled.......

• Do you agree with us in either or both special episodes?
• Have we missed some obvious scenarios and content?

Why not comment, get involved and expand the debate. After all, this is and always has been a game of opinions.

We hope that you will enjoy these episodes as much as we enjoyed recording them.
