The Offside Rule is finishing... for now. Unfortunately The Athletic are making some changes to their audio offering so the Offside Rule in its current home is no more. We are therefore looking for new brands, companies or an individual person to come to our rescue. Please use the email above if you are interested.
To commemorate the last episode of The Offside Rule for the time-being, we spoke to some of the former alumni that have worked in some guise for The Offside Rule over the last 10 years to hear about how their careers have evolved and what they learnt during their time working with us. It's going to be emotional... enjoy!

Hello and welcome back to The Offside Rule where today Kait, Lynsey and Hayley are discussing all things FA Cup, ahead of the 4th round kicking off this weekend. Does anyone still care about the competition? If so, what makes it so special? And how should we go about preserving it in an increasingly condensed English football calendar? To answer these questions and more we speak to Athletic news reporter Phil Buckingham and BBC football commentator Vicki Sparks to hear the inside scoop of whether journalists and commentators are as passionate about football's oldest competition as the Premier League and Champions League. As if that wasn't enough we also talk Everton and stolen gates... enjoy!
