IN THIS EPISODE...

In this episode, Mark W and Ally are joined by Rasmus Junila who works in sports media around the Tampere area. He  is also an Ilves fans, so this is the perfect episode for him to join the pod. 

The team discuss the past month of action in the Veikkausliiga, as Ilves & KuPS rise to the top of the table and Mark and Ally share their recent matchday expereinces as SJK and HJK fans. They are also joined by another FFS fan, Seppo, to discuss his team FC Lahti, and their poor start to the season! 

There is a good discussion and update on the current standings in the women's Kansallinen Liiga. They also look back at the 4th round results in the Suomen Cup, look forward to the 5th round draw and discus the benefits of playing the final in the new, smaller Tammela Stadion, rather than the Olympia Stadion.
