In this episode, John and Krys are joined by author Steven Lawther to discuss his latest book, "We Led in Munich: the Unlikely Adventures of Raith Rovers in Europe".The book is effectively a follow up to Steven's "Unthinkable: Raith Rovers Improbably Journey from the Bottom of Scottish Football" in which Raith Rovers went on to win the League Cup in November 1994 and thus qualify for Europe.Starting off discussing the book itself, and the upcoming book launch event at Waterstones Kirkcaldy branch, chat inevitably turns to a good old fashioned throwback. The guys reflect on the League Cup run, culminating in penalty shootout success in the final at Ibrox.Back in the good old days, a League Cup win came with a European spot so Raith drew the short straw - twice - with some awkward trips north before winning the golden ticket to Germany. Steven takes us through his own experiences of that European run, and Krys even reflects on his own oddly similar Munich experiences eight years later.Th

Our latest episode has a special intro from our friend across the water who prefers soccer to football.John, Charlie, Danny and Laurie are joined by Ethan from The Dugout.The show kicks off with some League Cup chat, pressure at Aberdeen and only one happy camper in the cup.Danny is keen to stress that Simo's Sexy Saints won again and everything is perfect in Perth.Charlie leads a segment about the standard of refereeing this season and the abysmal use of VAR with decisions being reversed after the KMI panel looks at them.On the back of this we discuss ways the system could be improved.It takes a while for the podcast to come to a climax which is no surprise with so many passionate people on.Laurie now has a new nickname but if you can think of a better one, get in touch.Oh, coming soon we'll have a 2020 throwback in the days where you could get plenty beer but struggled for pasta and toilet paper.https://linktr.ee/SFFPODCASTThanks for listening and make sure to like, subscribe and follow on our socia

Logan and Shay jump on for a chat about how they came together, where the name came from, and the influences that have shaped their sound.We dive into their debut EP Ode To a Broken Soul, the stories behind them, and which songs they love playing most live. We also talk about their favourite gigs so far, highlights from a massive year, and their big slot at Tenement Trail next month alongside the likes of Dead Pony, Gallus and Callum Stewart.Of course, it wouldn’t be the podcast without some football chat. We cover childhood memories, who they support, Scotland’s latest games, which stadium they’d play halftime at, and even compare each band member to a footballer. There’s also the all-important question: if The Rants were a five-a-side team, who’s scoring goals, who’s stuck in nets, and who’s definitely getting sent off?We wrap it all up with some quick-fire questions, listener
