Synopsis: Nothing like this has ever happened at a footy club. Honest. The embittered fringe players of an unnamed football club follow rules of their own. Kidnapping a teammate&’s dog for a gag. Taking potent painkiller suppositories to get through the living nightmare of a sponsors&’ event. Ticking off their Pissants bingo cards to survive the weirdness of meetings with the club psych. Fangs, Stick, Squidman and Shaggers speak in a cryptic code of inside jokes and WhatsApp exchanges, chained to each other by their place on the outskirts of the team. Together, these characters present a jaw-dropping snapshot of life within the chaotic world of a professional sports club. The psychotic rituals. The dementing cliches. The adulation. The pressure. The broken staff. The despair. The towering egos. The flatlining sexual encounters. The life-saving friendships.Trainspotting gets munted with A Visit from the Goon Squad in Ted Lasso&’s Front Bar in this brutally hilarious, unhinged and at times surprisingly moving insider&’s glimpse into one anonymous footy club – and what might happen behind the headlines, off the field and out of sight.
