🎙️ Go Football Podcast – Episode 32: Grassroot-Icks (The Stupid Side of Grassroots Football)

Ever seen a post asking for an “experienced U7 goalkeeper”? Or a parent wondering if their 8-year-old needs an agent? Welcome to Episode 32 of the Go Football Podcast, where Steve dives into the funniest, most ridiculous, and face-palm-worthy comments, posts, and questions from grassroots football forums, WhatsApp groups, and sidelines.

We call them Grassroot-Icks – the silly things people say in youth and Sunday League football. From parents asking which boots will get their child scouted, to coaches demanding “ready-made winners” at U9, we’re breaking it all down with plenty of laughs – and some serious points too.

👉 What you’ll hear in this episode:

• ​ The classic “icks” from coaches, parents, and players in grassroots football

• ​ Listener-submitted Grassroot-Icks from across the UK

• ​ Why posts like “Elite trials for U6s” completely miss the point of youth football

• ​ The important reminder that grassroots should be about fun, development, and opportunity – not silly posts online
