Terrible in terms of history Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan size up a seismic weekend in Scottish football.

Aberdeen rocket their way up the agenda on the podcast with Derek McInnes leaving after 8 years in charge. We examine Derek’s dynasty, bringing a more professional edge, changing the way the city felt about the club but producing a team that progressively ran out of goals.

Who next at Pittodrie? Robinson? Fletcher? Cowley?

Rangers make the inevitable official and secure the Premiership title. Fin Marks tells us how Stevie G’s masterplan came to fruition.

At the other end of the table, are Killie about to slip out of the Premiership for the first time in almost 30 years?

Plus Siegrist, Kelly and Livi’s tiny dinosaurs

RUNNING ORDER:

• PART 1: League 1 and 2 are back (02m 00s)

• PART 2: McInnes leaves Aberdeen (05m 00s)

• PART 3: Rangers win the title, with Fin Marks (22m 00s)

The beatings will continue until morale improves Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan discuss the first cup final of this season and the search for Celtic’s new manager.

St Johnstone win their second piece of silverware in their history, breaking Livi hearts in the process. The gang praise the calm Callum Davidson and have their say on the Rooney for Scotland debate.

Speaking of debates, who will be replacing Neil Lennon in the summer following his departure last week? JJ makes the case for Paul Lambert as Celtic manager.

Motherwell put in their performance of the season by winning at Hibs and Graham Alexander wants to talk about that and nothing else. And Collin Quaner weasels his way into the headlines for St Mirren.

Plus we run through the latest in the Championship with Hearts dominant but disappointing. And Queen of the South are flying high but we don’t know why.

RUNNING ORDER:

• PART 1: Rangers’ Europa League exploits (01m 00s)

Rangers are within touching distance of the title after Celtic slip up at Ross County on Sunday night.

There’s more misery for Motherwell as they suffer another humiliating home defeat and rack up record low xG. And although Aberdeen score and indeed win, have they completely lost control?

Disney eyelashes Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

There’s a revolving door at Pittodrie on deadline day as Aberdeen lose Sam Cosgrove and more but get themselves a whole new forward line. Hibs striker Kevin Nisbet wanted to join Cosgrove at Birmingham. Was he wrong to hand in a transfer request?

Go to the other oil company Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

Livingston’s victory over St Mirren at Hampden demonstrates a triumph of rehabilitation and a remarkable journey for Martindale and Livingston.

The other semi-final showcases what a frustrating side Hibs are to support. But St Johnstone are after their first silverware since the Scottish Cup in 2014. Ed Hodge, author of Our Day In May, compares this side to that one.

There’s more misery for Motherwell in the Premiership while Rangers turn on the style with one of the best performances of the season against Ross County.
