The Crafty Rogues is a podcast featuring John Cosgrove and Stephen Quinn. Cosgrove is from Aghadrumsee in the North of Ireland. Quinno is from Wollongong in Australia. Between them they’ve watched/attended/played thousands of games of football/futbol/soccer. However, they’re just as happy talking about music, movies, food, drink, politics, drink, books, culture and the ex-pat experience The Crafty Rogues, available each week wherever you access your podcasts. Could be tasty.

Yes, it was a fun show. Yes, the craic was mighty. But, the singular highlight may have been the phrase, 'They shot themselves in the foot and shat on the eggs.' That's poetry, right there.The Crafty Rogues

'Twas the show before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even John's mouse. Yes, we crow-barred that in, but there really is a bit about John's mouse in the show. This is the last show of 2024, and we humbly submit that the boys ended the year in style. This is top-shelf craic.…
