Roger checks in from his childhood bedroom in Glasgow, bacon roll on standby, as he and Grant rattle through a packed slate of goals and own goals from darts, golf, football and cricket. All of it wrapped in classic GOG fashion: sharp, funny, grumpy, and quietly worried about what modern sport is turning into. Brought to you by Pedl Labs.
The legendary John Skipper enters the Confessional to address the six questions. The conversation is beautiful and controversial, and certainly not consistent-“Consistency is the hobgoblin of the small mind”. Much of the debate touches on American politics and Trump. Big Media and Big Tech are the bidders for sports rights and how they operate under this administration is key to the future of our industry. For example, the fate of ...
In this special edition of Goal/Own Goal, host Roger Mitchell is joined by friend Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, for a compelling conversation leaning on Jim’s new book. The common history of Burchill, Kerr and Simple Minds; Our Secrets Are The Same. They explore Glasgow’s football culture and Celtic’s importance, the return of Martin O’ Neill, while weaving in Jim’s personal journey through music, family, and resilience. With honest re...
Roger and Grant are back with a bumper Goal/Own Goal packed full of sharp takes, laughs, and the occasional existential sigh. From fiery Scottish football chaos to Fulham’s admirable fight against Arsenal, the lads cover it all — with detours into baseball brilliance, darts drama, and a cheeky OnlyFans scandal that has Roger lost for words. Expect passionate debate on fan boycotts, Ange’s downfall, AI’s economic bubble, and the cre...
In Episode 3 of The Confessional, Roger Mitchell sits down with Danny Townsend. Ex-pro footballer, former A-League commissioner, and now CEO of Surge, Saudi Arabia’s sports investment powerhouse. A candid exploration of leadership, sacrifice, and conviction, Townsend opens up about the personal costs behind global success, including what it means to ask forgiveness from family, and the lessons learned when loyalty isn’t returned. H...
The Ryder Cup Episode. Post-match emotions run high as The Lads dissect Europe’s stunning triumph at Bethpage. From Luke Donald’s masterclass in captaincy to Bryson’s performative patriotism, from crowd abuse to clutch putting. Plus serious chat on private equity’s wall of money hitting sport, XG analytics revolutionizing the game, and Saudi’s $50 billion EA acquisition. Oh, and a blasphemous Italian tennis player who’s in hot soup...
Peter Hutton joins Roger Mitchell in The Confessional for a deeply personal, honest conversation spanning 35 years in sports media. From his globe-trotting career and family trade-offs, to the philosophy of leadership, risk-taking, and loyalty. Hutton reflects on the deals that didn’t work out, lessons from navigating corporate politics, and how keeping relationships genuine (not transactional) built a career beloved by colleagues ...
The lads this week have a right good laugh at Terry Vegetables at Glasgow Rangers, fantasy football losers, and the cuckold victims of Terence Stamp. Oh, and some serious chat on the dangers facing the EPL and the Ryder Cup. In short, it’s GOG.
Roger Mitchell sits down with insurance titan and One Football chairman Elliot Richardson for six brutally honest questions that dive into the moments that shaped his career—from apologizing for a notoriously sharp tongue to admitting the deal he regrets most, and uncovering the sliding doors that made him a believer in equity ownership. Richardson shares why anger is the worst business strategy and how “The Brothers Grim” taught h...
From arguing golf etiquette with Japanese samurai to Denzel Washington and the Cowboys. From green dildos, to the Rocket in Saudi. From Snoop in Swansea to Mr Benn. And somewhere in between some serious discussion on the UFC Trump Turn, and the return of English football. It’s the usual crazy mixture of GOG.
The LIV episode, as the lads debate the last 5 years in golf, and where to now. Sliding into petty and ill-informed nonsense on WNBA, Sydney Sweeney and Hulk Hogan. This is GOG.
The lads discuss the good the bad and the downright ugly in sport. As always. From Nico Hulkenberg (and his wee girl), to Pat Stanton (and his dad), via penis insertions at Lazio, and shagger ball possession in the Club World Cup. The glory of Wimbledon and the struggles of the WNBA. Petty and ill-informed to the max.
“Fandom isn’t being nurtured anymore. It’s being mined.” New York Time June 25. The lads today discuss in their own way the challenges of an entire industry. Golf, soccer, baseball, MotoGP, F1, NBA, WNBA.
The Captain welcomes former Ireland captain and British & Irish Lion Keith Wood to his picnic table to discuss his experiences of leadership on and off the field. And we discover his favourite sporting picnic items - that are kindly provided by Fortnum & Mason. This show is sponsored by TTB Sport.
On GOG this week the lads take a deep dive into the realities of football fandom. And why it makes for an impossible investment and asset class.
The lads discuss the usual combination of macro finance and fan banter. Racism in the WNBA, the real meaning of “tifo”, different kinds of tennis Italians, the crumbling business model of private equity. As well the usual nonsense. It’s GOG
In our brand new show, The Captain welcomes former England cricket captain Sir Andrew Strauss to join him at his picnic table to discuss his experiences of leadership on and off the field. And we discover his favourite Picnic items - kindly provided by Fortnum & Mason. This show is sponsored by TTB Sport.
The "Shithousery" Episode. From Everton blue flares, to Gooner music at Tottenham. Boxing, to Wrighty refusing apologies. And everyone having a laugh at the French league. It’s GOG.
The Rory Episode. It was inevitable that the lads would have a vigorous “debate” over the definition of the word “choker.” This show doesn’t disappoint.
GOG is back to call it all as it is. No punches pulled. Thinking differently. The world is the most volatile it has been for decades. What does that mean for sport?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
