Welcome to the Tone or soccer show and our latest batch of listener questions.

0:26.0

Today we're looking at the repercussions of Manchester City's hearings.

0:30.0

We're looking at Pochitino's employment prospects beyond 2026, and we're asking for the ideal time to sack a manager. Let's ask Daniel DeRossey about that if he's around. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, it's your friend of mine, Mr. Taylor Rockwell. Thank you, Ryan. It is a very sad day. I don't know why they would sack the greatest manager of all time, TBD, but I am wearing my one single black soccer soccer rack around my arm in solidarity with Daniela Dorasi. I'm sure it will all be fine, but for now it is a sad day over here. It is indeed. I appreciate the somber tome, Taylor. I'm also wearing black for DDR as well, not quite gone as far as the armband. But you are looking very sharp today, Teller. You're in a, you're in a in a sharp shirt. You look like your hair down up nice and good. What time is the court appearance?

1:15.4

It was more so what time was recording with Joe yesterday when I looked at myself and thought, shower would have been good. So here we are. I'm all cleaned up for the group, if not for Joe solo.

1:25.8

Wonderful stuff. Glad to hear, you are nice and fresh and clean for this audio experiment. Joe Lowry also here. Hello, Joe. Yeah, all I heard is that Taylor cares more about dressing nice for Ryan and Graham that he does for me, which, you know, I get it, Taylor. I really do and I don't blame you. There we go. And with his makeup on and his hair up pretty, Graham Ruffin here as well. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan. Yes, I'm wearing my best Scotland shirt as well.

1:27.7

Actually, not my best. and with his makeup on and his hair up pretty. Graham Ruffin here as well. Hello, Graham.

1:44.5

Hello, Ryan. Yes, I'm wearing my best Scotland shirt as well. Actually, not my best. This is my least favorite Scotland shirt. But I'll just say to you, it's my favourite Scotland shirt. I'm dressing up today, Ryan. Graham referred to it as, quote, his sweat rag before we started recording. I just need people to know that. Ryan, I don't know if you were here for that or not, but yeah, really paint the picture there, Joe. Thanks. It gets hot under the pillow fort when I'm recording these. Sweat rags are compliment in Scotland, right? Yes, yeah. It's like glad rags. Very good. Yeah. We're going to today in our sweat rags. There we go, wonderful stuff.

Follow up question.

2:38.5

No.

2:38.7

Would they be considered sweat rags?

2:40.7

Oh, yeah.

2:41.3

After a while, they become sweat rags, whether you want them to or not.

2:44.3

That's what I figured.

2:45.2

I once wore a kilt on a plane for like three to four hours.

2:49.7

And I think I've not worn a k since then. So not ideal. Why? Was it a traditional Scottish plane? Was it all wrapped up and pretty? No, it was a wedding at the other side. A wedding on a plane? Wow. That was the sequel that you didn't see. Did you wear the kilt properly on the plane, as in the true Scottish way, Graham?
