You don't follow football. The pub does. The office does. The group chat will not stop.
You could Google in the toilets. You could ask an AI and pray it didn't invent the score. Or you could walk in with a brief.
Onsider is the conversation survival tool for people who don't follow the game but can't avoid it this summer. Set your mission — the pub, the office, a watch party — and it hands you exactly what to say.
YOUR BRIEFING, BEFORE THE WHISTLE
• Two or three fact-checked lines for the actual match, with the reason each one sounds credible
• The one name that will dominate tonight — and how to pronounce it without getting caught
• A cover identity tailored to your crowd, including the teams you must never praise
• A risk rating on every line: safe, needs nerve, or hard pass
GO LIVE — FOR WHEN THE TALKING STARTS
One tap launches the panic deck: a dark, glanceable screen showing one line at a time, phone half-hidden under the table. Tap to cycle. Need out? The EXTRACT line gets you gracefully to the bar. AirPods in? Whisper Mode reads the lines straight into your ear. Nobody needs to know.
CHECKED, NOT IMPROVISED
Every line in Onsider comes from a hand-curated corpus, checked against reliable football sources — 85 player legends, 135 teams, 104 pronunciations — and ships exactly as written. No AI improvisation between the record and your mouth. We can't promise perfection — but getting caught with a made-up stat is exactly what Onsider is built to prevent.
BUILT FOR NON-FANS, NOT AGAINST THEM
No league tables. No stats grids. No homework. Just the few things you need to be in the room instead of outside it. You won't become a fan. You'll just sound like you knew enough — and said it well.

Onsider now follows the football.
AIMS ITSELF
The dossier works out what's actually on — the league season or a summer
tournament — and points itself at it. Your cover options lead with clubs
during a club season and swing back to national teams when a tournament comes
round. No more "the file is closed": if there's no match on the horizon, it says
what IS on, and everything else still works.
You can override it, too: Field kit → Aim, if you only ever get dragged into
football during tournaments.
LINES YOU CAN ACTUALLY SAY
The point of a bluff is that it survives being said out loud. An impressive fact
you can't back up just invites a second question — so every one of the 141 team
dossiers and 114 player dossiers now carries a line written to draw agreement
rather than an interrogation, and the app tells you what the room is likely to say
back and how to answer it.
Plus a proper library of the fact-free stuff that works anywhere: openers,
reactions for when something happens and everyone looks at you, deflections for
when you're asked a direct question, and a way out of the conversation.
SAFER COVERS
Fixed a real one: the cover sheet could recommend a team your room quietly hates,
because a club's supporters carry a national allegiance the app wasn't accounting
for. It now does. It also warns you off the team your room is about to play —
the one identity you'd be asked about all night.
QUIETER, SHARPER
On-device intelligence now helps pick which curated line suits the moment (it
still never writes one — every line you read was written and checked by a human).
Same number of ad slots, same places, still none in Live or Cover.
