By: Robbie Thomson and Daniel McBreen

Once the game is over, and A-League commentators Daniel McBreen and Robbie Thomson are off air, they always chat about the match over a beer and argue over what they saw and what they didn't say on air... Now you can listen in on that conversation as Macca and Robbie record their ramblings in a weekly podcast: A-League Off Air! But a word of warning, there won't be any chat about Liverpool or ManU, or Juve, or Barca... only A-League... et un petit peu du PSG ;-)!

A-League Off-Air. Tougher than Brisbane Roar, angrier than Ufuk Talay, riskier than Wellington Phoenix, funnier than Adam Griffiths, better than Melbourne Victory.

Apologies in advance for this weeks episode of A-League Off Air which, much like the on pitch action in week 17, was more than a little flat. In fact, don’t bother. Robbie and Macca are in total agreement that this is the worst episode in the pods short history. Feel free to give this week a miss. Even forgot the WTFAI?…

Macca and Robbie talk shit for a living, so we thought we'd enlist some experts to help them preview the 20th A-League Men's season. Four clubs feature in Part 1 and there are no punches pulled as we talk life after Irankunda... Will Douglas Costa be as big a dickhead as ADP? Who will be the first pissant coach to get the boot? And **drumroll** did you know that daylight saving starts a week early in NZ? We didn't...
