Krys returns this week as he joins the two John's to discuss what's been going on in Scottish football. There's plenty to cover as there was a midweek card last week, weekend fixtures, Challenge Cup action and a few lower league matches. We've also got an update on the Pyramid system with it looking like a West of Scotland league will be introduced as soon as next season. The Junior Cup quarter finals take place this weekend. European football returns for Celtic and Rangers so we discuss their chances of going through. We finish off with some chat about mental health and some more information about our upcoming charity game in support of the work that Back Onside do. Thanks for listening. If anyone would like to donate to our charity match to help raise funds for Back Onside, please visit our Just Giving page Tweet us @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsInstagram - sffpodcast

It's the two John's on tonight as they discuss what has been going on in Scottish football. We were hoping to have Phil McGuire this week but unfortunately he has had to reschedule. The Scottish Cup takes up most of this week with six ties being decided. There was only one real upset with Inverness beating Livingston. BSC Glasgow gave a good account of themselves and hopefully the money they have earned can lead to them finding permanent facilities. We skim through midweek fixtures from last as we try not to bore the listeners with too much Aberdeen chat. There's certainly no goals to talk about for the Dons. We've got another Premiership midweek set of fixtures coming up as the games come in thick and fast. The lower leagues are discussed in terms of where it leaves teams as they aim for promotion or to get enough points to be safe from relegation. This leads us on to some Pyramid chat with another couple clubs in the West Region of the Juniors declaring their intentions. The podcast concludes with a wee bit

It's the regular trio of the two John's and Krys on this week as they discuss the current events in Scottish football. We start by covering the lower leagues. Dundee United slipped up against Arbroath. The guys discuss whether they could be contenders for the Premiership playoff. Raith Rovers extended their lead in League One and Cove Rangers only drew but Edinburgh City couldn't take advantage. The chat leads us on to the Pyramid system with news that the teams in the West Region appear to have been blocked from joining. A few clubs have made statements in a story which we've not heard the last of. Celtic extended their lead at the top in the Premiership, Hearts continue to show signs of improvement under Stendel as they moved off the bottom of the league and Kilmarnock won their first game in a while. We finish off by previewing the midweek Premiership games and the Scottish Cup fifth round. Thanks as always for listening.

It's Krys and John this week as they make a second attempt at releasing a podcast this week following technical difficulties on the interview with Phil McGuire. Although that one is now lost to us all, Phil has kindly agreed to come back on at a later date. Instead, we have to make do with chatting through two full rounds of Premiership fixtures, a couple of catch up games, the lower league matches from the weekend and two Scottish Cup fourth round replays. So not much to talk about then! Across the games we chat about the form of Aberdeen, how every dropped point is a disaster in the title race, the chances of Hearts being able to make the top six, Dundee United's inevitable march to the Championship title, if Partick Thistle just collect relegations in bundles, and whether or not League One will become a two horse race. We give a quick nod to Fauldhouse who exited the Scottish Cup to Pollok, and we also plug our upcoming Back Onside charity match at Broadwood which is a little over eight weeks away. We then

It's the regular trio of the two John's and Krys on this week. We discuss the Scottish Cup and preview what's to come in the upcoming week. The best bits of the cup were BSC Glasgow getting through to the fifth round for the first time in their short history. Hearts won their first game under Stendel and Ayr knocked out Ross County. We discuss the draw for the next round and potential shocks and what we expect to be the TV games. There wasn't much league action with only three League Two games being played. Cove Rangers saw their lead at the top extended to five points. There is a full midweek card in Premiership on Wednesday and the Friday night game in the Championship returns. We finish off by talking about the weekend fixtures and praising the SFA for their sensible pricing (for once). Thanks as always for listening.

The regular trio of the two John's and Krys are on. We're delighted to have our first special guest of 2020 on with BT commentator Rory Hamilton being on. Good John leads and asks Rory a wide range of questions relating to how he got involved in commentary through to highlights in his career so far. We cover the lower leagues with the main news being off the field with Morton and their reaction on social media to some of their fan interaction. On the field they managed to win away from home which helps their fight to avoid relegation. Is League One the most exciting league in Scotland just now? It looks like a five way battle at the top of the league with it regularly changing hands. To conclude the podcast we ask Rory some more questions about following the Scotland team and food and drink highlights. An announcement is made with regards to players who have confirmed they will be appearing in the Back Onside charity game. Thanks as always for listening.

It's a two man show this week as Krys and good John are on to talk about the final matches of 2019, and the last fixtures before the top flight goes on it's winter break. The discussion starts off with Boxing Day's Edinburgh derby and differing fortunes both on the day and then into the weekend fixtures. There's a bit of a theme across the two sets of fixtures as most teams that did well in one didn't do quite so well in the other. Notable exceptions included St Johnstone who had quite a good week, and Kilmarnock who didn't. Despite this, they have appointed their manager until the end of the season, and we discuss why on Earth anyone thinks that's deserved. There's praise for Hamilton for doing what Hamilton always seem to do, St Mirren for somehow winning games narrowly, Livingston for making the most of their plastic pitch, and of course Rangers for coming out on top in Sunday's big televised match. Krys even holds his hands up, which is ironic given how Celtic got their goal on Sunday. He's not the only o

F Bomb John and Krys are on and are privileged to be joined by ex professional footballer Kevin Twaddle. Kevin talks us through his career where he started off in the Juniors and managed to play senior football for a few teams including Hearts who he grew up supporting. He has some terrific stories to tell and he also answers all our weird and wonderful questions. He talks us through his troubles off the pitch in terms of his gambling issues and the book he wrote, "Life On the Line: How to Lose a Million and So Much More". We could easily have listened to Kevin talk even more about his career due to all the interesting stories he talks about. The Premiership review covers how Hearts are doing under their new manager. We cover the controversial tackles and good results for Motherwell and Livingston. Due to it being a longer one than usual we skip the lower league review. Thanks again to Kevin for coming on and we wish all our listeners a Happy Christmas. Thanks as always for listening. Tweet us @sffpodcastFace

It's the two John's on this week as Krys takes a break. We start off with Good John promoting the Back Onside game between Aberdeen/Tayside X1 v Back Onside X1 which will take place next May. The lower leagues are covered, starting off with the Championship. Dundee United look like they're starting to run away with it. Rangers and Celtic continue their battle at the top of the table while Aberdeen moved back in to third. At the other end of the table Hamilton and Hearts face a big game this coming weekend. Rangers joined Celtic in qualifying for the last 32 of the Europa League and found out their fate today in terms of who they will play. We finish off with some chat about racism in football and our upcoming podcast of the decade in terms of best and worst. Thanks as always for listening.

It's a busy podcast this week as the regular trio are joined by Aaron from Fauldhouse United. We start with the action from last midweek which leads us in to the Premiership action from Saturday. As we've got Aaron on we get him to talk us through the events of Fauldhouse United's Junior Cup tie at Bridge of Don. There was a fair bit of publicity around the tie after it was initially called off due to suspicious reasons. The lower leagues are covered with the game of the weekend being in League Two. Our #pickitoot moment also came there as Brechin City's goalkeeper Lewis McGinn scored. Krys and Aaron talk us through the League Cup final as Celtic made it 10 domestic trophies in a row. Aaron has recently launched a football project called Time to Tackle. He discusses how it's been going in terms of helping others through football therapy. We finish off by discussing Cowdenbeath's David Cox and the unnecessary abuse that he has received that may force him to quit football. Thanks as always for listening. Tweet

It's just the two of us tonight as F Bomb John and Krys are on. Good John is otherwise occupied by Woody. There's plenty to chat about with various cup competitions, league action and the pyramid system. We start off by briefly discussing Auchinleck Talbot's Scottish Cup journey coming to an end this season. This leads on to some chat about the pyramid system and when the teams from West Region may enter. After that we start the Premiership review by going back to last midweek. It's a bit all over the place after that as we round up what happened at the weekend. Sunday's games are discussed along with what went on in Europe and the upcoming League Cup final. Hearts are still without a manager but that looks like that may be about to change. The lower leagues are reviewed with Airdrie sneaking up to the top of League One. We round up the podcast by talking about Fauldhouse United whose Scottish Junior Cup tie got postponed again. Thanks as always for listening. Tweet us @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football

There are four folk on the podcast with the regular trio being joined by returning guest Jon Connolly. It's an ideal time to get him on as his team Fauldhouse United were supposed to be playing in the Scottish Junior Cup at the weekend. The game however was called off due to some so called cunning foxes. We did ask Bridge of Don for a statement but they didn't respond. We then move on to the Scottish Cup and pick out the best results from the weekend and discuss the fourth round draw. There was only one lower league tie at the weekend so main focus is on what happened in the Premiership. The top two continued their good form while Hibs got off to winning ways under new manager Jack Ross. It's right at the bottom with three points separating the bottom seven. There's new ownership at Aberdeen which is discussed in terms of what may happen on and off the field. We finish off by previewing the European games and Glasgow City clinching the double by beating Hibs in the Women's Scottish Cup. That leads on to Clare

It’s Krys and Good John this week, F-Bomb John has taken an extended break. We kick off with a brief review of the conclusion to Scotland’s Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign. A decent 2-1 in Cyprus saw the Scots come away with a 2-1 win, whilst Good John was one of the few who went to Hampden to see the side gain some kind of revenge on Kazakhstan with a 3-1 win. With three wins to end the section, it’s a starting point for Steve Clarke to build upon for the crucial Euro 2020 playoffs in March. So, who will Scotland face – Bulgaria, Hungary, Israel or Romania? The whole complicated process of Euro 2020 is covered by the guys. This should be the first and last time we see a Multi-host event for the Euro’s! By the time they come, some absent stars should be available, but where should Kieran Tierney play? Away from the International scene, the Challenge Cup saw Raith Rovers, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Partick Thistle and Rangers Under 21’s advance to the Semi Final stage. Partick will host Raith whilst the young

We've got the two John's on this week and they are joined by Jon Connolly who is manager of Fauldhouse United. Jon talks us through his career as a player, his move in to management and what he wants to achieve and his recent struggles away from football. Jon gives a special thanks to the fantastic work of Back Onside and how that has helped him. Good John has some quick fire questions for Jon which he answers with good humour. We move on to the European chat with both Scottish teams getting fantastic results. The chat leads on to domestic football with Aberdeen winning their third game in a row, both Edinburgh clubs and Glasgow clubs winning. The lower leagues are covered and we finish up with the #pickitoot chat with Euan East of Albion Rovers getting the vote on our Twitter poll. Thanks to Jon for coming on.

Krys and Good John are on this week to chat about the ups and downs of the Scottish national team, following a heavy defeat in Russia and a heavy victory in the heavy rain against San Marino. The ins and outs of these dead rubbers for Scotland are discussed, as well as the overly complicated situation with the playoffs from the Nations League. There's even the revelation that the Nations League itself has miraculously changed format and no one except John seems to have noticed. There's also the Challenge Cup to discuss, and the lack of highlights that go with it. Fortunately we did get to see a wonderful free kick from Scott McLaughlin which beats off Stuart Armstrong's free kick for this week's #pickitoot We finish up looking forward to the weekend Scottish Cup and domestic league action as international football gets packed away for another month.

It's the two John's on this week as they discuss what has been going on in Scottish football. They start off by going to last Thursday and the European action which saw mixed results for Rangers and Celtic. This leads us on to domestic action which saw Celtic slip to a defeat to Livingston as Rangers went top of the league. Kilmarnock and Motherwell continue to impress while St Mirren continue to struggle in front of goal. We then go back to Friday where Dundee United lost to Alloa in what was regarded as a surprise. Ayr couldn't take advantage though. At the other end of the table Partick Thistle remain at the bottom. The best of League One and Two are covered.

Good John then talks up through the upcoming Challenge League games. Thanks as always for
