  • 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.

Rangers Eye the Summit as Celtic Face a Fir Park Test: It's a Big Weekend in the SPFL
Q: What is the perceived impact of the international break on Rangers and Celtic this season?
The hosts and guests suggest Rangers have benefited from momentum and a stronger team shape after players returned, while Celtic face heightened scrutiny and pressure due to a run of defeats and off-field noise; the break is seen as a mixed reset, with potential to reset momentum depending on post-break results.
Pocognoli v Steve Clarke - what has actually changed for Scotland?
Q: So with all that said then, how does Scotland approach this? Will they be able to be aggressive against Switzerland at Hampden the way they were against Slovenia?
The consensus is that Pocognoli will maintain a brave, front-foot approach, staying aggressive and aiming to replicate the Slovenia performance, but with tighter finishing and smarter trailing runs to convert chances against a higher-caliber Swiss side.
Is North Macedonia a MUST win for Scotland?
Q: Scott, do you see this as must win in the context of the Nations League but also maybe in the context of just perception and just trying to get a little bit of momentum and positivity?
Yes, it's about momentum and a point to prove in terms of the team's identity under the new manager, with a focus on getting six points from the next two games while balancing defensive solidity with forward pressure.
Sportsound : Celtic's woes continue as O'Neill's side suffer defeat in their opening Europa League match
Q: Do you feel you're getting any closer to working out your best team?
He indicated it will take time with new players bedding in, with a shift from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 in the second half and a focus on building confidence and energy.
Sportsound : Celtic's woes continue as O'Neill's side suffer defeat in their opening Europa League match
Q: What can bring about the change you think's required?
