  • Declined into becoming unlistenable

    This used to be a good quality, well researched, well presented, balanced production, with a range of views from fairly well respected presenters and experts. Now? It’s a bun fight, “let’s hear from the fans” Kenny MacIntyre followed by “*insert managers name* is doing a brilliant job” or “got to be feeling the pressure” after 3 favourable or non favourable results. The worst though, is David. Currie. How is it possible that a man, who talks like this “and now it’s. Time for me to. Talk in the m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sportsound : Why change is needed now to maximise the potential of Scotland's footballing talent
Q: What happens if clubs don't implement the 60-minute rule?
Clubs not complying could face redistribution of SPFL prize money and disciplinary or governance actions; the incentives are designed to encourage participation rather than punish without recourse.
Sportsound : Why change is needed now to maximise the potential of Scotland's footballing talent
Q: How will the two under-21 start rule work in practice across cups and the league?
In the Scottish Cup and League Cup, two under-21 players will start each game; in the Premiership there will be a 60-minute per game average benchmark across the season, giving coaches flexibility while driving youth minutes.
Sportsound : Why change is needed now to maximise the potential of Scotland's footballing talent
Q: What reaction did you get in the room from the clubs yesterday?
Overall positive, with some cynicism; many clubs supported the proposals and some even asked to go further, but there is acknowledgment that changes will require time and buy-in from multiple stakeholders.
Sportsound: Celtic win Saturday's top of the table clash in Paisley
Q: What did the managers say about the performance after full time?
Martin O'Neill emphasized the positive aspects of their display and the need to maintain consistency going into midweek fixtures, while Craig McLeish stressed the hard work and the need to build on the performance for upcoming challenges.
Edinburgh Derby Under The Lights and Deadline Day Drama
Q: What was it like for Deadline Day for a player?
Players often half-know something might be in the pipeline, but actual moves hinge on bid negotiations, timing, and whether the club wants to sell or buy at the right price, which can lead to a nerve-wracking but defining day in a player's career.
