Scottish Football Forums Podcast

In the final podcast of the season, Krys, Greig and I start off by discussing the Scottish Cup final. We discuss our personal highlights from the season as a whole and our expectations for next season. Every week we do a charity bet, where McBookie generously supply us with the bet, and we announce that Clic Sargent will receive the winnings from the season. They will receive £333, which will hope...

Greig returns this week to join Krys and I. Krys introduces his final SPL review, before we discuss the key points of the weekend. Greig gives us his review of the food from McDiarmid Park. I went to the first leg of Alloa vs Dunfermline play-off final, and I experienced a novel way of trying to gain cheap entry. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to report back about the quality of Recreation Park’s pie...

It’s Krys and I this week and we talk about football. Mostly it’s about the SPL at the weekend, the SFL play offs, or recent awards, but we also stray into English football, and also football from the 1800s. Thank you to McBookie for donating the charity bet stake.

I am joined by Krys and Greig this week and there is loads to talk about. Dundee were relegated at the weekend, with Bomber Brown blaming Pawlett. McKay scored a hattrick to put pressure on Higdon, who also scored, for top scorer in the SPL. In the SFL we preview the upcoming play-offs and discuss what is wrong with the current setup and how it could be improved. With QOS and Falkirk both moving t...

Each week we record the podcast via Skype and we normally sit at our PCs, with headsets on. This week is a little different, because Laurie uses his phone and decides to record the podcast while on his bed. Not only is that slightly disconcerting, but I am sure that he is almost falling asleep near the end. Not that the podcast is boring 😉 Krys kicks us off with his SPL review. There is plenty to...

Points for discussion in this week’s show are: The weekend’s SPL games Higdon passed Pettigrew’s post-war goalscoring record for Motherwell Celtic and Partick winning their respective leagues this weekend Celtic’s season ticket price reduction EK Clyde The charity bet SPL predictions This week’s podcast features Krys, Greig and myself. Please note that the new SFF podcast feed URL is http://podcas...

It’s a double act this week, as Krys and I discuss the Scottish Cup semi finals, reconstruction and footballers with lovely long hair. Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the charity bet stake.

I am joined by regulars Krys and Laurie this week. SPL review Harry Ramsden’s cup final McBookie charity bet Scottish Cup Dentists Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the charity bet stake.

Scotland’s defeat to Serbia is first up. We discuss who was at fault for their first goal; Caldwell, Marshall or Hutton. It’s no surprise that Bobby Madden’s performance during St Mirren’s game against Celtic gets our focus. In the SFL, Dunfermline, and specifically those who were shown the door are discussed. We also congratulate Rangers and Queen of the South for winning their respective le...

Laurie, Krys and I discuss Scotland’s defeat against Wales, as well as: Preview Serbia vs Scotland Dunfermline’s financial future Derek McInnes being named Aberdeen boss Rangers 0-0 Stirling Albion McBookie charity bet SPL Predictions Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the charity bet stake.

Following every podcast recording we normally stay on to chat about football and random banter. Krys accidentally left his recording running and caught our reaction to Charles Green’s statement about reconstruction, and how he sees Stranraer. We didn’t know we were recording, so the language is strong. Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the charity bet stake.

Laurie makes his return to the podcast after a spell out, and he joins Krys and I. Laurie was at the St Mirren vs Hearts final, and gives his account of the day. Krys and I were neutrals for this game, so enjoyed it a little more than Laurie. Krys was at the Celtic fans march on Saturday and gives us his first hand account of what went on. Laurie attempts an impersonation of Charles Green, althoug...

This week Krys and I are joined by a special guest  – ESPN’s Derek Rae. We start by discussing Celtic’s performance against Juventus. Derek gives us his view on Juventus’ replacement for the Stadio Delle Alpi and also how Pirlo became the player he is today. On Sunday the Edinburgh derby finished 0-0, with a lot of the talk focussing on Leigh Griffiths’ goal that never was. We all know that t...

This week me, Greig and Krys spend an hour talking about Scottish football and other nonsense. Our first attempt at starting this week’s recording failed after about five seconds, which was then followed by about ten minutes of faffing about trying to sort out the technical difficulties. It was the Scottish Cup quarter finals this weekend, so we discuss the ties between Killie & Hibs, Dundee &...

Krys expertly guides us through the SPL results over the last week, as Greig and I listen intently. We go on to discuss the key moments in detail, in particular the offside rule and interfering with play. I introduce the SFL section, but instead of focusing on the results, we discuss the Pars financial situation, ice wheelie bins at Alloa, and naughty singing by Rangers fans. James McFadden return...

Greig makes his return, as he joins Krys and I to discuss Scottish fitba. Celtic in Europe is first up, and we try to discuss a little more than the WWF style grappling that has dominated the media since the game. Krys takes us through his SPL review, and we discuss the bits that take our fancy. Kenny Shiels gives us more entertainment, and unsurprisingly there are some dodgy penalties to discuss....

Ryan Stevenson was controversially sent off for a challenge on Gary Mackay-Steven at the weekend. There are conflicting views on whether it was, and we give our arguments for and against. The SPL had an unnaturally large number of handball claims, and we try and give our opinion on each one. Don’t worry, I didn’t get the rule book out again. We take a look at Scotland’s victory over Estonia and pi...

This week sees the debut of Nicky, who joins Krys, Laurie and I to discuss the previous 7 days in Scottish football. Nicky is a Dundee United fan, so we hear his views on the appointment of Jackie McNamara as Dundee United manager. Dundee United despatched Rangers with ease in the Scottish Cup, which leads us to discuss Rangers’ signing policy and whether it has worked. We also cover the remaining...

We don’t spend too long discussing the weekend’s SPL games, because frankly, they weren’t the matches weren’t very good. The league cup was where it’s at and Laurie and Krys have very different reactions to their games. We won the charity bet last week, and I take great delight in announcing our big win. Dumbarton was the secret to the good return, so I pick them again as part of this week’s trebl...

There were plenty of goals in the SPL this weekend, including two hat-tricks, so that takes up the majority of the discussion. John Logie Baird scored for Dundee, which leads me to look up his previous inventions. Gordon Strachan and Mark McGhee have been confirmed as the men leading the national team for the next two and half years, and we give our opinion on the appointments. SFL, Charity bet, S...

It’s the SPL’s winter break and it’s pretty much mid way through the season. That means it’s the perfect time to give our SPL mid season report card. Laurie, Krys, Greig and I go through each SPL side and give our review of their season so far. Best player, best signing and worst signing are some of the categories covered. Unfortunately we ran out of time to cover the Scottish Football League, alt...

Krys is away on business, Greig was unavailable, and a last minute transfer coup failed, so this week it’s me and Laurie discussing fitba. In the SPL we discuss Motherwell’s penalty against Celtic; whether it was a penalty and also whether it was on the spot. You can probably guess that I get the rule book out. Niall McGinn’s freekick against Dundee United is compared against Leighton Baines’ free...

It’s me, Laurie and Krys in the final podcast of 2012. It’s a busy podcast, with two rounds of SPL games to discuss, on top of our usual charity bet and SPL predictions. Laurie suggested the perfect topic to end 2012 – the best and worst of Scottish football in 2012. Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the charity bet stake.

Greig returns to join Krys and I, with Laurie taking a week off. With Christmas tomorrow, one of our topics is football related Christmas puns. We also discuss Kenny Shiels comments that he thinks that Killie achievements in 2012 overshadow that of any other team in Scottish football. Of course Krys gives us his SPL review and I mention the SFL. Thank you to  McBookie  for donating the c...

This week we have an extended discussion on the SPL. In particular we look at the refereeing performances across the league, and in particular penalty decisions. In the SFL section we discuss Rangers game against Montrose in detail, as well as Montrose’s programme which focussed on Rangers being a new club. It’s a Scottish football podcast, so of course we include WWF and santa chat. We end with t...
