John is joined by Hamish and John B as they look at the action from the weekend. There was only a few league fixtures in lower leagues so Scottish Cup takes centre stage. The charity bets were once again unsuccessful which is a recurring theme this season. We must be due a win at some point. The lack of shocks in the Scottish Cup means there are few major talking points. Craig’s poster boy, Kenny Miller gets praise. The return of the Premiership should hopefully bring a bit more excitement. The podcast ends with Hamish and John just copying each other’s predictions. Each of the guys picks a choice for charity bet. Thanks again to McBookie for providing the charity bets.

John is joined by Craig and John B for the first podcast of 2017. Happy New Year to all our listeners. Hamish gets the blame for the lack of success in our charity bets as he is busy elsewhere. We chat a bit about the Championship and how things have gone so far. Can Hibs come up at the third time of asking or will they ‘Hibsed’ it? The other lower leagues are given brief mention too. The main focus is on how the Premiership has gone so far and hopes and expectations for the rest of the season. The Scottish Cup is previewed which leads us on to our charity bet choices. As always, Craig diverts the chat to pies. Let us know the best you’ve had at the football. Thanks again to McBookie for providing us with our charity bets.

It’s the three wise men on as John is joined by Hamish and John. The charity bets that were chosen last week lost again so bah humbug to that. Maybe goodwill will be shown to us this week seeing as it’s Christmas. Rangers won again and have hit some form which means there is a bit of gloom surrounding Aberdeen and Hearts. There is talk of whether McInnes is under pressure at Aberdeen. At Hearts, there were boos in Cathy’s first home game which appear unfair. Malky Mackay got the job as performance director. The guys analyse whether this is a good appointment and try to figure out what his job involves. Check out John B’s article on www.scottishforums.co.uk Predictions are made and charity bets are chosen. Thanks again to McBookie for your continued support. Merry Christmas to all our listeners. We won’t be on next week but will be back in the New Year.

It’s the two John’s on the podcast on the night the northern lights didn’t work properly. Once again, the charity bets were unsuccessful but we continue to search for another winner. There is brief mention of Celtic’s trip to Manchester in the Champions League. Talk moves on to the action in the Premiership where Rangers get revenge for their defeat against Hearts. We’re bitter about John Beaton ruining our BTTS choice. Aberdeen had a mixed set of results where they struggled again against St Johnstone. Predictions are made and charity bets are chosen. Thanks again to McBookie for providing us with our bets.

John is joined by Hamish and Krys to discuss the current events in Scottish football. The charity bets were once again unsuccessful but there is a big winner to come. Hamish is in a happy mood after Robbie Neilson's farewell gift/party and the announcement of the youngest manager in top flight of Scottish football. John is frustrated with the tactics that McInnes has employed against the two Glasgow teams. The Motherwell v Celtic game seen very little good defending but plenty of attacking flair on show. Predictions are made which lead to charity bets where we have picked a rare draw. Thanks again to McBookie for providing the charity bets. Keep up to date with us on the sffpodcast Twitter account.

Joining Craig is regulars Hamish and John B (the Aberdeen fan). The lack of free pies, the national team’s default against England, Strachan and Lisa Snowdon all feature. Thanks once again to McBookie for helping us out with the charity bet each week. This week we try and play safe, but that’s almost always the tactics and we know how that works out.

John is joined by Hamish and John B as they guys return after a week off. There is good news as one of the charity bets came in which adds £32 to the total for the season. Celtic are given no chance by any of the guys with regards to even securing 3rd place in their Champions League group. This is in contrast to domestic football where they continue to be praised. John eats humble pie as Aberdeen lost two on the bounce before returning to winning ways against Partick Thistle. Hamish continues to be frustrated by Hearts as their strikers struggle for goals. Rangers once again fail to take their chances which has been the story of their season. The attention shifts to Scotland’s visit to Wembley to face the auld enemy. Do they have a chance? The guys think it could be a good time to face England though none of them predict Scotland to win. The McBookie charity bets are chosen with Hibs featuring again as Hamish fancies them. Thanks again to McBookie for providing us with our bets each week.

John is joined by Hamish and John B to discuss the week gone by. The focus is on the semi final action from the weekend. Once again, the charity bets were unsuccessful but Hamish assures us he has a few bankers. Celtic followed their draw against Manchester City in the Champions League with a draw at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. The guys discuss what this means for Celtic going forward in Europe. The two best teams in Scotland advanced in the League Cup. Both games are discussed with. Saturday’s game saw Aberdeen advance. Derek McInnes once again has positive things to say about Aberdeen with a belief through the squad that an era of success lies ahead. In the other semi, Celtic won narrowly however it didn’t tell the full story. The Aberdeen v Celtic league game is previewed which will obviously be a dress rehearsal for cup final. The podcast ends with usual predictions and charity bet choices. Thanks again to McBookie. Thank you to McBookie for donating the charity bet stake. The podcast is available v

The charity bets were once again unsuccessful so we’re hoping the return of Hamish can give us at least one winner.

Is it too early for him or will he be successful? The experiment of inviting Northern Irish and Welsh teams to Challenge Cup is given some discussion. Is it something that should be persevered with? There is frustration as the chat moves on to Scotland and the inability to win. Will the team change much for Slovakia and what result is required to help keep us in with a chance of qualification?

In the charity bet, the FGS bet was unsuccessful and the treble was let down by Hibs who….well you know. The guys start off the review by examining Celtic’s effort against Man City where an unexpected point was gained. The Maddison love continues as John declares his love for him. John B loves him too. Who doesn’t? The turmoil at Kilmarnock is discussed and what their future may be. Rangers got back to winning ways and Hearts put in one of their more impressive performances.

John hosts the podcast and is joined by debutant John B, who is also an Aberdeen fan. There is good news to start with as the FGS charity bet came in which added £33.33 to the pot.

John is joined by Craig and Hamish as they discuss the recent events in Scottish football. Even though Craig is on, there is no pie chat. Once again the charity bet treble sees two out of three win. The FGS bet is unsuccessful too. The focus is on Scotland and their victory in Malta. After the recent doom and gloom, there is a bit of positivity about the national team. Craig mentions how this is highlighted by Gordon Strachan. The predictions are made with a view to charity bets being chosen. Hamish’s struggle to get dressed leads to title of the podcast.

John is joined by Andy who returns after being on the first podcast of the season. It begins with news of both charity bets not coming in. As there is no league fixtures this week there are no predictions to be made. There is a fair bit of chat involving Celtic with their success in qualifying for Champions League group stages. The guys agree that this will inevitably lead to further inequality in Scottish football as teams struggle to compete. The Premiership is discussed with the main games over the weekend being discussed. Andy covered the Ross County game but said there was not much excitement. Inverness are given credit for their first win under Foran. The podcast was recorded on Tuesday so there is a fair bit of chat about transfer deadline day which leads to the title of the podcast. The focus shifts towards Scotland and primarily the £13million man Oliver Burke with the hope he is successful in Germany. The lack of football from a large section of squad is cause for concern. If you have any feedback t

John is joined by Hamish to discuss the events of the last week in Scottish football. There is an early positive with the McBookie charity bets as we get our first win of the season. The podcast is recorded as Celtic play their crucial European qualifier. The guys discuss whether it is good or bad for Scottish football if they progress. Some of the Premiership games are discussed with Hamish being particularly impressed with Hearts performance against Inverness. Aberdeen get off the mark with a win with John pleased that they scored their first league goals of the season. The attention then shifts towards the announcement of the Scotland squad with neither Hamish or John too excited by it. Hopefully though there is plenty of excitement when campaign starts however you’d take boring if it means Scotland qualify. The podcast ends with Hamish giving his picks for the charity bets. Thanks to those who have provided feedback @sffpodcast on twitter so far this season. Thank you to McBookie for donating the charity

John and Hamish are on this week to discuss the previous week of action in Scotland. Once again, the charity bet treble sees two out of three win so just short. They decide to stick to trebles from now on but maybe we’d be better picking a double. A brief summary of League Cup action is discussed as John was at Ayr v Aberdeen. They go on to discuss who they  think will win cup. Once again the Premiership is given priority in terms of reviewing the weekend action. As often is the case, referees come under criticism for their decisions or more so, lack of decision. The so called game of the weekend is discussed in Aberdeen v Hearts and how both John and Hamish are not too disheartened by their respective teams start to the season. Hamish takes centre stake in the choice of charity bets as he has some very exciting news. If you have any feedback regarding podcast then please tweet @sffpodcast or comment on the Facebook page, Scottish Football Forums. Tune in next week for more football chat and banter. As a

John hosts the podcast and has Director of Podcasting and owner of Scottish Football Forums, Craig as a guest to talk about how Rangers are ‘back’. Hamish makes it a trio on the podcast. As always, we discuss the fortunes of the charity bet from the weekend. Both of them failed with our FGS, Simon Murray failing to score first. Our other bet saw Livingston and Clyde win however East Fife let us down. Two out of three isn’t bad but it doesn’t win you any money. There is a brief discussion with regards to Celtic and Aberdeen playing in Europe. John is frustrated that Aberdeen failed to get past the third qualifying round of the Europa League for third season in succession. There is little knowledge of the team that Celtic have drawn in Champions League playoff round but Hamish does mention something about ‘dodgy’ Eastern European owners. The team are pleased that the Premiership has returned. As always with Craig, the podcast becomes the pie podcast as he loves a pie. John gives a bit of gastro chat too. After

It’s the first podcast of the season with John hosting and joined by Andy as guest. The discussion focuses on the efforts of our teams in Europe and leads in to a Premiership preview. There is brief chat on the League Cup so far. The guys are pleased that Aberdeen have progressed to meet Maribor and discuss the difficult task they will face in order to advance further. Celtic progressed too which will please Krys. The Edinburgh teams, Hearts and Hibs both went out. Hibs were praised for their efforts with Hearts receiving their first major setback in last three seasons. A preview of the Premiership commences afterwards with discussion on who will do well and who will struggle. There will be more to come once the transfer window closes. John and Andy discuss the signings made by each club and what this may mean for each club. There is good news with McBookie continuing to provide us with our charity bets. It will be some effort to beat the total from last season. Keep up to date with us on the sffpodcast Twitt
