The @guiricast.bsky.social podcast is up for another award at The FCA's, this time 'The Best International Podcast'.

It's an honour to be nominated and is testament to the hard work we do to produce such a brilliant podcast and I can't think my co-hosts enough for the great work we do!

Myself and @lukechambers7.bsky.social got together to talk about Málaga's 7th away draw of the season, however more excitingly we spoke about La Romareda's giant goal nets and Luismi, the midfield maestro in a rugby helmet!
𝙇𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙞, 𝙇𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙞, 𝙇𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙞 𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙮

Málaga made it 7 draws from 7 away games with a resolute performance away in La Romareda! Join Nick and Luke as they look over the game and wax lyrical about a certain helmeted midfield maestro!

Available in all your usual podcast places and YouTube 🙌🏻

18-11-23 Malaga 3-0 Atletico Baleares

A year ago today was the Guiricast meet up of 2023. A time where Malaga fans fly in from all over Europe to meet up as friends, family and most important for our love of @MalagaCF.

I will die on the hill that Steve Finnan was one of the best right-backs in the Prem during his time.
Introduce yourself with four footballers.

I must say, it has been delightful to watch my beloved Málaga on a normal screen a 2024 level resolution instead of on a certain betting website with dial up speed levels of pixelation.

I'm at the point now where I'm completely unphased by danger in front of San Alfonso Herrero - because I know he'll save it!

I am a HUGE fan of Francho Serrano and his low socks. Out there at 23 years old looking like a Masters Footballer 😍🔥

Six of one, half a dozen of the other for me that challenge. Definitely not a red card in my opinion. #RealZaragozaMálaga

Larubbia with an excellent chance to give Málaga the lead. Take nothing away from the save but he really needs to be scoring from there! 🙏🏻 #RealZaragozaMálaga

Is there anywhere else on the planet where the goals are just as famous as the team?

La Romareda always an icon.

Roko has failed to convince thus far and there's a young lad scoring for fun in the Atletico Malagueño side... The Croatian has a point to prove today! 🙏🏻

Just the two changes from last weekend's win at home, with Roko coming in for Dioni and Victor returning at left back!

Can do it on a warm Saturday afternoon on the Costa: ✅

Can do it on a freezing cold Saturday in Moldova: ✅

Aaron Ochoa-Moloney is going far!
Aaron Ochoa Moloney that is 🔥

Aaron scored this screamer in a 4-0 win for our Men’s Under-19s against Azerbaijan ☘️

The Moldovan commentator enjoyed that one too 😅

Manu Molina heads back to La Romareda tonight as a man in form. There is nothing like going back to your old stomping ground and putting on a show.

Hopefully tonight is one of those nights for Manu 🤞🏻😃

In my opinion, Macron make the best kits at the moment with so many bespoke designs but you will not find one as poignant as the 'mud covered' Levante shirt.

For their first game back after the devastating floods, the shirt serves as a tribute to those who helped in the aftermath of the DANA 🧡

It's stuff like this that proves the Swedish (and wider Scandinavian region) are happier than us.
For the Swedish league’s 100th birthday, they had a retro month, where all teams wore an updated version of one of their kits from yesteryear.

What I will say is, the Premier League/EFL are totally missing a trick by not having one weekend per season be Retro Week.

Big Dunc will always be synonymous with Everton but whenever I see him wearing that Newcastle shirt with the Newcastle Brown sponsor 😍
When Duncan Ferguson and Jaap Stam came up against each other 👊

Read a great article about Charlie Patino last month about his family links to Depor and why he made the leap from Arsenal to Galicia. However, nearing the end of November and only 52 minutes of football played, I'm worried he's not being given a look in. Hopefully the new manager changes that! 🙏🏻

Visiting Valencia to see how historic flooding hit football at all levels, and talk to those most affected.

Some horrific scenes, and many heroic responses

Struggling to think of how relegating a side mid-season and allowing them to play on keeps the integrity of the competition intact...

The madness of Ligue 1 continues.
So if I understand this correctly, as there seems to be a mix of reports and some from unreliable sources, the #Lyon situation is:

•Transfer Ban for the Winter Window
•Relegation to Ligue 2 - unless the club can clear their debts before the end of the season(?)
•Debts are circa €500m
