  • Ruined

    Used to enjoy the podcast and thought it was a fair and unbiased show however I can’t listen anymore with Alison McConnell. The last few episodes in particular really showed her true colours. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but she couldn’t be more one sided if she tried. She didn’t condemn the minority who ruined a minutes silence at rugby park and made excuses for it. Most recently the shay Logan interview, she only wanted to talk about one club. I obviously know Peter is a Celtic man bu... more

    Ep24 wasn’t the best. Scotland has a problem with modernity and sadly this episode exemplifies this. The piece about Jesse Marsch highlighted this. Normally 5

  • Painfully bad!

    Condescending and bias coverage which pretends to be neutral for some unbeknown reason. Just be honest, we’re not stupid. Even if I was a Celtic fan, then there is far better, honest and insightful content for that persuasion.
