Albion Roar

A look back at the win against Southampton, Robert Sanchez's call-up for Spain, Maheta Molango's accession to the top of the PFA - and a mighty fine rant about the state of Newcastle United. Shirt of the Week is from Polska.

While the first team are on rinse and repeat for playing well and not scoring, Ady & Al took time out to have a natter with Jo Bacon from St Barnabas House Hospice - whom the Roar had donated to with proceeds from the sale of the red shirt. We also spoke to Polly Bancroft, general manager of Brighton & Hove Albion Women's and Girls' teams as part of International Women's Day.

To help celebrate International Women's Day, Polly Bancroft, general manager at Brighton & Hove Albion Women's and Girls' teams, joined Al for a stay-of-play chat about how women's football is progressing, not just at Brighton, but nationally.

in this bumper 80-minute edition, the interim joint U23 Head Coaches at the Albion, Shannon Ruth and Andrew Crofts joined Ady & Al for a natter on their playing and coaching careers, and offer up insights on what life is like at managing the senior Academy team at Lancing. Shirt of the Week is a hamburger.

Andy Bass rejoins Ady & Al on Zoom to (briefly) dissect the Palace game, while we are also joined by Andy Lindley, chair of Sands United Brighton & Hove, the football team set up to help fathers in their grieving process due to infant loss.

Former Palace midfielder and Albion Manager and Youth Team Manager, Martin Hinshelwood joined Ady and Al for a discussion on the history of Brighton and Palace's rivalry - from both sides. Shirt of the Week is more of a beach shirt, frankly.

Ady and Al are joined by 'Countdown' and (more importantly) REMF Quiz champion Steve Agace, and former Albion physio Malcom Stuart. Burnley and Leicester on the agenda, plus Malcolm's tales from The Treatment Room. Shirt of the Week is a Spanish oddity.

Ady and Al were joined from Tulsa by Jonathan Bradshaw, a Hoveite Albion fan from Birmingham who now lives in the States to talk about supporting the club from afar, and for a couple of poetic interludes. Additionally, Kieran Maguire was on hand to tell us the club wasn't about to go bust. Shirt of the Week came from the people who made Stonehenge popular.

Ady & Al are joined by two of Sussex's finest football scribes, Nick and Brian to talk about the Leeds United game, the movement in the transfer window, and a catch-up on the mental health issues raised in the previous week's show. Plus we talk to Tony Wilkinson of the Blackpool Supporters' Trust to see how their club is doing in the post-Oyston era. Shirt of the Week lends a little extra help.

Ian Hart opens up on loneliness, solitude and depression, not helped by being in the middle of a socially-distancing isolation period for us all.

Former Gull's Eye editor, campaigner and phone-in host Ian Hart joined Ady & Al to look back not just at the Newport and Manchester City games, but at Harty's role as fanzine editor in the removal of Bill Archer, David Bellotti and Greg Stanley from the club. Additionally, Ian talks emotionally about his rollercoaster year, and the importance of reaching out to friends, especially those who live alone. Shirt of the Week is a diamond shirt in more ways than one.

Ady & Al, alongside Attila, try to make some sense of the mad 3-3 draw against Wolves. Plus Ady spoke to South African football writer Chad Kelly-Klate about Percy Tau's arrival at the Albion. Al paid tribute to Sue Addis, owner of Donatello's in central Brighton.  Shirt of the Week is some kind of Chilean toffee.

Back in our 15th calendar year for a reflective look at our 14th, Ady & Al are joined by Marcus Hancocks and Andy Bass. Best and worst moments of 2020, and our hopes for 2021. Phil Shelley's Shirt of the Year matters.

Ady and Al were joined by former Albion blogger, Jason Thackeray and the chief football writer at The Times, Henry Winter. Football without fans, Hughton's sacking, Brighton during lockdown, VAR, concussion substitutes and much more discussed. Shirt of the Week has a long name...

The Brighton & Hove Independent's chief footy writer, Derren Howard, joined Ady & Al to discuss the Southampton game, wrong VAR decisions, defending set-pieces, and the rise of Bissouma and March. Plus we touch on taking the knee. Shirt of the Week is a Shirt Too Far.

Penalties, offsides, VAR, missed sitters, abysmal yellow cards. No, not Ady's singing - the Liverpool match.

Shandy rejoined Ady & Al to mull over the Aston Villa game, and all its thrills and spiils. Plus we discussed the return of the 2,000, and paid tribute to Diego Maradona. Shirt of the Week was correctly guessed by Andy.

Former Albion defender Guy Butters joined Ady & Al to let us know what was happening with Albion In The Community during lockdown, plus his views on short corners, and a wistful look back at Withdean. Plus we chatted with Sussex author Tim Quelch, who has a book 'Good Old Sussex By The Sea' - a whimsical look back growing up supporting the Albion, Hastings United and Sussex CCC during the 1960s. Shirt of the Week came from Guy's wardrobe, basically.
