A Dream Result Ruined by Dreams. Sale FC (H)
Dec 15, 2025

Albion deliver a huge top-of-the-table win at Fortress Brickfields, signing off December’s last home game in style and sending a clear message to the league. Big performances, big points, and big momentum.


Then the third half arrived… featuring a brutal rendition of Gabrielle’s “Dreams” that nearly undid all the good work.

Sedgley Streamed, Albion Beamed, Paul Redeemed…eventually. Sedgley Park (A).
Dec 11, 2025

Albion went up to Sedgley Park and put in a shift… and Scrummy Paul wasn’t there to witness a single second of it in person. Instead, he spent his Saturday squinting at the YouTube stream, praying the camera wouldn’t follow a seagull instead of the ball.


In this fashionably late episode, Paul finally breaks down Albion’s brilliant win, rewinds the best moments from the Sedgley stream, and pretends he definitely didn’t miss half the first half because the video buffered.

Albion have only gone and done it — top-of-the-table Rotherham Titans sent back up the M1 with a lesson in National One reality! Brickfields was bouncing, the lads were flying, and Scrummy Paul… well… he once again got his league facts completely wrong.


We break down a massive Albion performance, celebrate every big carry, turnover and try, and pay tribute to Herbie as he hangs up the boots after years of carrying the club through dark times.


Expect passion, chaos, Lynx Africa in the air, and Scrummy Paul apologising (again).

Floodlights, Lynx, and Lyrical Disasters. Birmingham Moseley (H)
Oct 27, 2025

Plymouth Albion took to the field under the floodlights — and things got spooky. Hospitality guests were treated to complimentary Lynx Africa in the bathrooms (a truly premium touch), Albi Travel unveiled what can only be described as an “anthem attempt,” and Scrummy Paul tried to keep a straight face through it all. It’s a night of big hits, bright lights, and questionable lyrics in this latest Always Scrummy in Plymouth episode.

Quinned out and choc’d up. Tonbridge (A)
Oct 22, 2025


A little late this week — blame the tech gremlins, not the pasties! 😅 Scrummy Paul’s back with a bumper episode after a wild rugby weekend. Albion battled hard but fell to a Tonbridge side full of Harlequins talent, before Paul made the trip to Sandy Park for Exeter Chiefs vs Harlequins. He also picks his dream Chocolate Bar XV (it’s as sweet as it sounds 🍫) and celebrates his big moment on BBC Spotlight!

Oct 06, 2025

Scrummy Paul heads to rugby HQ — Twickenham — to soak up the atmosphere as Argentina take on South Africa 🇦🇷🇿🇦. But while he’s surrounded by international flair, two of his mates are holding the fort, watching Plymouth Albion’s trip to Rosslyn Park.


They give their take on the Albion performance, the highs, the lows, and everything in between, while Paul compares the international spectacle to the heart and grit of National League One rugby.


Big rugby, big laughs, and Albion chat from two very different vantage points. 🎙️💚❤️
