CORNISH SOCCER talking football!

CORNISH SOCCER talking football! follows Cornish football with the pace and familiarity of people who spend their week around the game. The centre of gravity is the Rappo and Deke’s Friday Fix, a regular run through fixtures, results, club news, and what the weekend might actually look like on the ground. It is chatty, quick, and full of local shorthand. Truro City can sit beside Newquay, Penzance, Saltash, Torpoint, Helston, St Agnes, St Neot, Landrake, Mawnan, and Mousehole without the show needing to explain why each matters. The conversation often starts with a personal aside, then turns hard toward the football. A trip to Milan, a long drive from Scotland, a wet ground, or a missing regular can all become part of the rhythm before the table talk begins. The football detail is practical rather than grand. Form, gates, budgets, travel, divisions, postponed games, cup draws, and awkward away fixtures all get treated as real evidence. The show is especially strong when it connects match results to the health of a club. Newquay’s work on crowds, websites, posters, radio, and town engagement is discussed as seriously as anything that happens on the pitch. Goal-of-the-month segments bring a player’s strike down to technique, body shape, and whether the finish deserved the judges’ nod. The regular voices are part of the texture. Gareth Davies and Phil Hiscox appear as regulars, while guests such as Alex Hayward and Dudley Barry widen the lens from current fixtures to club operations and football memory. The nostalgia episodes slow the tempo slightly. They let older stories breathe, especially when Dudley Barry reflects on a long life around the game and links Cornish roots to wider football history. The show also makes room for community causes, including charity fixtures supporting mental health work in Cornwall. Its tone is warm, but it does not float above the subject. Strong sides are praised plainly, tough afternoons are called that, and listeners get the sense that every point, gate, and postponed fixture has a local consequence. It is not national punditry resized for Cornwall. It is Cornish football spoken from inside the week.
