  • Be careful what you wish for

    We all want to see Scottish football improve across the board, but be careful not to chase the modern commercial model at the expense of the soul of the game.

    Err was some guy on talking about getting a Macklemore Hibs away kit? Naw, we don’t want to go down that road.

    All considered, an important contribution to the game long may it continue.

  • Much needed

    Scottish football is crying out for non-partisan in-depth media coverage of the big issues and this does a lot to make up for that gap.
