    The AGM episode was both condescending and inaccurate.

    Why did you return? It’s a long time since you produced a decent podcast Harry. This one was so negative about the Scottish game and structure. If the contributors felt that the system is sooo bad and needs to be this or that, why not use the pod to promote a better way and use their column inches for reaching a wider audience to the same end? I had a headache after listening to it.

  • All makes sense

    Great podcast, always enjoy the different opinions from Harry and the guests. Eddie was spot on when discussing transfers and where things are at with players coming to our league. A touch of realism that us as fans need to accept.
