The Scarf Bergara Wore

🎙️ Welcome to This Week’s Award-Winning Podcast!Russ, Waggie, and Andy are joined once again by the man with no shirt — Pete Mellor. No debut questions this time, so we get straight into it.🔍 We Dive Into:⚽️ The 3–2 bizarre win over RotherhamA deep dive into the madness — that bizarre own goal (already a social media sensation, unfortunately), two more own goals (with the second now credited to Stokes), overall performances, Andresson’s genuine goal, growing partnerships/ understanding within the team, and grinding out a result.🔄 Transfers ChatPotential incomings and some possible outgoings, plus the more credible (and not-so-credible) whispers — with plenty of rumours flying around from random X accounts with the transfer generators spitting them out.🔮 Cardiff PreviewPredictions ahead of a massive away trip to face the league leaders.🎤 Random Sh*t of the WeekWaggie has been put back in charge this week (not sure that makes much difference).This time it’s “Who Would You Be?” — think about your footballing attributes in your prime and decide which ex-County player best suits you for each position.Example: If Waggie was a defender, he’d be Lee Todd — small, left-footed, could get up the wing and put in a decent cross.Still not much better than Andy’s shambles last week, if we’re being honest 😅🎤TSBW — NWFA Award-Winning PodcastFor County Fans, By County Fans. 🔵⚪️Sign up to get ad free and exclusive special guest podcasts, a monthly giveaway plus first dibs on live events with former players (no extra cost!).
