Football show The Offside Rule relaunches today

The show analyses the latest stories across the women's game

Football podcast The Offside Rule relaunches today with a new line up.


Former Everton and Liverpool striker Natasha Dowie joins longstanding presenter Lynsey Hooper to discuss all sides of the women’s game, making a point not to look beyond the Women’s Super League to the Championship and below, as well as to Europe.

The show first launched ten years ago  and has taken a number of forms, most recently as a daily update show in conjunction with Sky Sports throughout last summer’s Women’s World Cup.

On joining the Offside Rule Dowie said: “I’m excited to be working with Lynsey again after we had such a good time during the World Cup. I can’t wait to start sharing my insight and experiences and covering the women’s game in a different way.”
