30.5.2023 Veikkausliiga Update, SJK Seinäjoki On Top, Suomen Cup Round 4
IN THIS EPISODE...
The main series of the Veikkausliiga season is now at the 30% stage, so Mark W and Rich focus mostly on that in this episode. Who are the slightly-surprising, new league leaders? Who are already struggling to keep up? And who are striving for mid-table safety?
To answer these questions, they are joined by Ally and listener, Jamie, who talk about their teams, HJK Helskinki and Ilves. They also look at the Suomen Cup now heading into round 5, and Mark W shares his 2023 Suomen Cup experiences; 4 games, 4 home defeats!

2.3.2023 Helmarit Win the Cyprus Cup, Liigacup Update, Transfer News, Finns Overseas, Huuhkajat ”Season Ticket” Sales
IN THIS EPISODE...
It's the Mark W & Keke Show again (sorry!) but we wanted to keep you informed as we plough through the closed season. Firstly, Keke reviews the recent performances of the women's national team, the Helmarit, in winning the Cyprus Cup competition against Croatia, Romania and Hungary.
Next, Mark looks at the recent Liigacup results as the group stage nears its conclusion ahead of the semi-final stage. They also look at some of the more notable transfers involving Finnish clubs and players in the past few weeks, impressive sales of Huuhkajat 'season tickets' for the home Euro 2024 qualifiers, and finish up by speculating "just how good is Mark H's new sauna?"

Who the F is Ally Manson?
IN THIS EPISODE...
This episode is a follow-on from an epsisode back in 2020, requested by FFS listener, Kevin Moseley, about the origins of the Finnish Football Show. Ally joined the FFS team in mid-2022, so we thought it was about time to find out more about him as Mark W asks just who IS Ally Manson?
