Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works.

    Jun 26 2026

    Whistleblowers is in America! The boys are all back together - virtually! Gordon Smart joins Ian Ladyman and Mark Clattenburg as they look at what went wrong for Scotland as they put in one of their worst performances since the Euros and ask the question of whether it’s still possible to go through, and more importantly, do they deserve to?


    Meanwhile, the lads look forward to England’s final group game against Panama and Tuchel’s sticky situation at right-back, ask how good Brazil actually are, and Mark reveals what a DOGSO is…?

    Jun 24 2026

    *Apologies on the delay, turns out the hottest June day in history plays havoc with men and machines! Although the Scotland content may be slightly outdated soon, it's still worth a listen! Enjoy the show!*


    Whistleblowers is in America! Mark Clattenburg and Gordon Smart are once again joined by Mail Sport’s Craig Hope in the aftermath of another disastrous England draw…and the boys have some thoughts! Was Konsa’s challenge a stonewall penalty? Is Harry Kane the only big World Cup star not to show up? Should we start to worry already?


    Meanwhile, Gordon is all nerves as his boys in tartan face the Seleção tonight, but Craig lets him know that there are reasons to be hopeful! Plus, hear some of Mark’s best Ronaldo memories as CR7 becomes the first player to score in SIX World Cups!
