1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,880 Hello and welcome back to the Scott Smite Podcast. 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:06,920 My name is James Scott. I'm joined by Finn Crocker. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680 Finn it's been a couple of weeks since we've been on the mics, 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,600 but we're back now. Yeah, it's been a while, but 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,480 it's good to be back in a new set, a new studio. 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,920 Obviously a bit different to the one that the video viewers are 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,320 are used to, but not bad I don't think. 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,280 I know it's scrub up well. Scrubs up well, Yeah, we've 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,160 been, like I said, we've been away. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,440 We've missed our a couple of things, had the Scotland 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,160 doubleheader that we've not had a chance to talk about, but it's 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,840 a bit annoying now to be going back to discuss that. 13 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,240 But we do have Premiership action returning, we've got the 14 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:46,000 post fixtures split, post post split fixtures even and that's 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,720 caused a bit of debate. Also got the Premiership table 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,440 final six, top and bottom have been confirmed and a couple 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,360 other dealings in the the Championship, League One and 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,440 League Two that I've caught at eye. 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,600 So good to discuss all them. But first of all, Finn spotted 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,360 the bottle up there, something I've not seen before. 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,519 Do you want to talk to us about? That Yeah, just a bit of news 22 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:06,200 before we jump right into the action. 23 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:10,520 I think may or may not have noticed the El Dorado lovely 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,080 bottle looking very beautiful on our shelves as well as the wee 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560 bag there. So moving forward, Eldorado will 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,560 be sponsoring and and helping support the podcast and the the 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,160 Scottish football content that we bring to you. 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,080 So just before we get into a big thank you to Eldorado for their 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,080 their support. Yeah, big summer and yeah. 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Yeah, big summer coming up and. We need to live fuel. 31 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,480 We need to write fuel if. If you need fuel wherever you 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,040 are in Scotland, if you're if you want to sneak it over you go 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240 ahead. Is it over? 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,760 Is it banned in the states? Well, it's got caffeine in it, 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,680 so you can't buy it there. But yeah, it's the it's the 36 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,920 drink for Scottish football fans. 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640 So thank you very much for El Dorado and we can jump jump 38 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 right into it. No, definitely right first up, 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,480 Premiership. Yeah, a lot of talk to, a lot to 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,160 talk about. Top and bottom sex confirmed. 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 So Hearts currently at the summit at the table and then 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,320 Celtic Rangers, Motherwell, just I had abs and then Balkirk make 43 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,960 up that top 6 come to the bottom of us all the others United 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,080 Aberdeen, Setman, Kelly Livingston, Dundee on the order. 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,840 But but yeah, no, it's a bad debate around the fixture split, 46 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,720 though. Obviously hearts not getting 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,480 game at Tynecastle for the final game of the season despite being 48 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,000 top and also Rangers been say I think they said it's the first 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,360 time 2nd and 1st place. I've not had a finishing game at 50 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,200 home and I still have to go third. 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400 Well, the only one are the only ones who can lift the title as 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040 champions at their home ground. If it was that the final game, 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,040 it might well do. Yeah, you'd expect, Oh well, you 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,360 don't want to speak too soon, but you'd expect it to, to 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,720 potentially go to the final game with how tight it is, obviously. 56 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Yeah, I'd be shocked if anyone pulled away from the back at 57 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:53,920 this. Point. 58 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,320 I mean, those six pointers can have big swings, but you know, 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,920 I'd expected to go at least the second final day, if not the 60 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:02,640 final day. Yeah, yeah. 61 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,600 So hi Hearts at Celtic Park, Rangers will be at Falkirk. 62 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,000 Falkirk Community Stadium I think. 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,080 Yeah, so I mean it's it's going to be a wild day, that one, 64 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880 yeah, Hearts fans in Glasgow, Celtic fans in Glasgow, 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,640 helicopter Sunday, yeah and all apartment, maybe 7-8 hundred 66 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,840 Rangers fans. All the Rangers support will 67 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,080 also be in Glasgow so. Yeah, powder keg. 68 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,560 Could you imagine the scenes though of Hearts went at Celtic 69 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,040 Park? I mean, they start to worry 70 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,840 about Hearts because they seem to be on a bit of wobble. 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,000 But I mean, we'll jump straight onto their result yesterday and 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Sunday. At the time I record in big win. 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,400 Motherwell obviously kind of going off the boil about 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,560 themselves looked an entertaining game. 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,640 Motherwell to the leads. Hearts equalized and then a 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360 couple of good chances, but Hearts get a pain away That 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,120 seems to have caused a bit of debate that we'll discuss. 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,360 And then obviously they got their goal later on to make it 79 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,000 31. So yeah, they've got, not saying 80 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,880 they're on a wobble, but you know they're in a good place now 81 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,840 going into the splat one behind them and Celtic and Rangers 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,200 always are backing up their wins too. 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Yeah, obviously there's there's there's been a bit of debate 84 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,680 about the penalty. It's if it goes either way, you 85 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,560 you could debate that. I think it's one of those we 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,560 were talking about it before the pod where if it's given you, you 87 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960 don't argue. If it's not given, you don't 88 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,200 argue. Like it's, I mean. 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Either way, yeah, upset about it. 90 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,720 Because realistically, I mean, if you've not seen it, go and 91 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,560 see it because you'll see why it's called such a debate. 92 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960 There's a sort of scuffle in the box. 93 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520 I can't remember the boy's name. Charter. 94 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,160 Yeah. Drops to the ground and the ball 95 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,320 is coming down on top of him. And he, while lying on the 96 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,520 ground, tries to nod the ball. And Steven Welsh goes to kick 97 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320 the ball. A real state, a player, you 98 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,000 know, in terms like endangering opponents or themselves. 99 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440 And they're included in that if they they're, you know, they're 100 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,240 in a compromised position, such as on the ground. 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,440 And you know, you know, you folk talk about high feet, you know, 102 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,080 kicking on the head. Flashback that London Dicks goal 103 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,840 against Israel. I think it. 104 00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,080 Was obviously that's what the rule rules there for if the 105 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,200 players on the ground. They shouldn't be trying to 106 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,080 head. It they shouldn't be trying to 107 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,720 head it because they are endangering themselves. 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,440 I think the debate comes to whether I mean what you question 109 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,880 is he has broken the rules by trying to head of the ball. 110 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,200 Stephen Welsh has broken the rules by kicking. 111 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Putting the ball in the face. Putting the ball in the head, 112 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,640 Yeah. If he doesn't attempt to head 113 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960 the ball, the ball is still kind of dropping into his head area. 114 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,480 And this is where I kind of feel it's possibly not a penalty 115 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,440 because I don't want people going to slaughter him if this. 116 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120 But, like, if he hadn't attended the head of the ball and Steve 117 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,160 Welsh kick some penalty. Yeah. 118 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,360 Because, like, the guy realistically can't move. 119 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,080 He's not attempting to play the ball. 120 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080 Steven Welsh, you know, doesn't take the cares, you know, 121 00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,680 doesn't as a you know, as a player, you've got an obligation 122 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,120 to look after other sportsmen If you catch someone hit that point 123 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,560 foul. But the fact he he's put. 124 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Himself in the danger area. Yeah, well, like, not he's 125 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,440 already in there, but like, he, he still makes, he makes 126 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,840 conscious effort to still engage with the ball. 127 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,640 And I think for me it's such a great area. 128 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,120 But like, I mean, it ended up being a very decisive moment in 129 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,040 the game. Yeah, because obviously that's 130 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,040 that's a massive win for Hearts, one that was really important, 131 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,680 especially after after the slip of against Livingston. 132 00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,880 Yeah. And you know, Motherwell played 133 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,560 probably better in in that game at Tynecastle. 134 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320 If you look at the XG. If you look at the all the 135 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,640 stats. I've not seen much of the 136 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,080 highlights from the games have lost. 137 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,760 I kind of didn't know what to expect going into watching this 138 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,840 one. But they looked good. 139 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,840 I mean, their goal was a lovely bit of play. 140 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,480 You know, the boy picks the ball up deep, nice bit of skill to 141 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,840 turn play the ball forward out wide back post perhaps. 142 00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,640 And you know, it's a it's a lovely goal. 143 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280 And you know, there was also another nice bit of play from 144 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,000 Mash when he say he picks up the ball, drops a little bit, but 145 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,120 takes a heavy touch round the defender and you know, that's 146 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040 the score he has to score. He he actually beats, you know, 147 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,120 he beats the defender again, beats the heart's defence again 148 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,280 when he like sort of chops across. 149 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,800 A bit too much. You know, he opens up some 150 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,680 perfectly. He gets himself into a situation 151 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,160 where, you know, 9 times a 10 most strikers score that 152 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640 especially him. Yeah, no, the most 17. 153 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Score in the league. 17 goals a season, Yeah, Yeah. 154 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560 So I mean, obviously and that seventeen goals when that comes 155 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,040 off the back of maybe a slight, not a drought, but like, he's 156 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,600 not yeah, he was. He was. 157 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,240 Far he was far and away the top scorer. 158 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080 I think he's like, you know, him and Motherwell have had a bit of 159 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960 different form, you know, I think it's ever since. 160 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,840 Was it Celtic at Celtic Park? Yeah. 161 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,400 Where, you know, people were starting to question maybe. 162 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000 It's it's a. 4 horse, it's a four horse race. 163 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,480 And then obviously that game happened and they and they lost. 164 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,720 And I think it's been a bit, I don't know if spiral is the 165 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,200 right word, but you know, it's been a bit of a of a downwards 166 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,320 trend and they've not really been able to pick themselves up 167 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,440 from that. Yeah, but yeah, he's been an 168 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,760 amazing striker. 9 times out of 10 he scores that. 169 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,600 Yeah, so I mean, you like, and that's again, that's one of the 170 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,280 that's one of the moments of the game where, you know, it's 171 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,640 almost like sliding doors, like he scores that mother 172 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,560 potentially going to win. Harsh are in real trouble. 173 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,040 Yeah. You know, they're no longer top 174 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920 of the league. But then you know he doesn't 175 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,960 score squat and get pen away and then you know that's that's how 176 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,800 he ends up. That's it. 177 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Yeah, I mean, I think it's about the narrative as well. 178 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,280 I think you've you've, you may, you might have heard some Hearts 179 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,559 fans saying this. I think Adam from Gorky Talk 180 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,840 said that the last time he was on the podcast as well, where, 181 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680 you know, these these wins where they might have not been the 182 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,760 best team, but they're still grinding out the three points. 183 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,640 A lot of people tend to jump on that and say, oh, you know, 184 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,520 they're lucky. Yeah, it can't keep going on 185 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,640 like this. But if it was Celtic or Rangers, 186 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240 you might look at it differently and think, oh, you know, that's 187 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,680 a sign of champions, yeah, you know, getting these results in 188 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,160 the hard moments. And it's funny, that was 189 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,000 actually something Derek Mcinister was asked about before 190 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,200 the game, you know, because it has become a talking point, the 191 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,000 one that wins, yeah, that you don't grinding stuff out. 192 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160 And I think it was just quite funny at the end of the game of 193 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Hearts running 31 victors and at Celtic, who almost sort of 194 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,720 grinding out a victory at the park against St. 195 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,800 Mirren. It's just funny, you know? 196 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,160 Oxley Chamberlain, Yeah. Yeah, good. 197 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,040 I mean he also got an hour ago but it was offside. 198 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,120 But yeah, but no, just to touch on, before we got in the Celtic 199 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,200 game, I mean we had comments from Derek Mccannas and he said, 200 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,400 you know, in terms of Mother Bell they have been one of the 201 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,000 best teams in the league in terms of exciting play. 202 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,320 He went and causes a bit of anxiety with their speed. 203 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,640 But I thought our shape was good and we shaded the first half. 204 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120 We went down one nil. We had a lot of work to do, but 205 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,920 importantly we stayed calm. Once he even said himself. 206 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,280 So I wasn't sure about the penalty, but everyone's telling 207 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,440 me it was 1 so and he's been kicked in the head. 208 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,840 So, you know, that's how it goes. 209 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,120 Yeah, they've they, you know, he played give credit to his 210 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,320 players he went with, managed to be a good team by digging deep 211 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,080 and showed the motivation. Fans stayed well as well. 212 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,640 And it's easy, you know, you could feel for the fans back 213 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240 because like, there's a lot in the line here and I think 214 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,320 anxiety has been probably building over the last couple of 215 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,240 weeks. You know, my one of my 216 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,280 colleagues finally came right into the the line sort of 217 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,760 talking going, you know, we can win this. 218 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400 And when I met him last week, he was back to going, no, I don't 219 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,120 think we went. We've just we've not got we've 220 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,040 just not got enough to go in this final stretch against the 221 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,720 big teams. But no, the fans of us backed 222 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,880 them to help. 31 What victory in the end asked who said it took 223 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,480 us 1015 minutes to decide how to deal with hearts tactics. 224 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,760 And from there we thought we got more and more control of the 225 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,080 game. They had their moments, 226 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,480 especially in set plays, but in the second-half we started 227 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,960 bright and took control and created moments we and created 228 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,760 moments when we had to, he said. I thought we were the better 229 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,640 team and we didn't take the moments we had. 230 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,680 Yeah, you, you can't really argue with that. 231 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,680 I think you've, I've, I've also heard a few murmurs. 232 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,240 I think it comes around every year about this time about, you 233 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,040 know, how good would it be with with a league reconstruction 234 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,040 moving potentially from from 12 teams to to something like 16. 235 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,040 And I think that would reduce the amount of times you play the 236 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,080 Celtic and Rangers from, you know, potentially 4 in the 237 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,840 league down to two. Yeah. 238 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000 And I think, you know, that I'd create a lot more variability 239 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680 with title races. We've always had this one this 240 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,560 year, but this is the first and God knows how long where it's 241 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,640 went down to the wire. Obviously Aberdeen were were 242 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400 there in abouts until December last year and that was the first 243 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,520 time in a while it had even gone that far. 244 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800 Yeah. And if you reduce the amount of 245 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,960 times you play these, you know, the Old Firm down to two, well, 246 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,000 4 total instead of eight, it halfs the amount of points that 247 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,360 that's at stake. Because obviously if you, if you 248 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:02,240 lose all 80 points and that's, you know, 24 points gone 249 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,120 already. If you only play them four 250 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,680 times, that gets reduced into 12, which is such a a much 251 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,960 smaller gap. That's why Celtic Rangers don't 252 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,680 want that to change though. Exactly. 253 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Exactly. Well, that's why I'm not saying 254 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,920 they don't want it. I'm not putting words in the 255 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,520 mouth. But like, if you were to be, 256 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040 they vote against you to be cynical. 257 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,120 Like you've said, there's a clear benefit for other teams if 258 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,040 they don't have to play selling Rangers multiple times. 259 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,800 So yeah, interesting. But no, it's it's it is going to 260 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000 be good to agree with that. I can't, I can't wait to see how 261 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400 this is going to play out even. I mean, they'll be 262 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,960 disappointing. I mean, I think I speak for a 263 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,880 lot of Scottish football fans. It'd be nice to see status quo 264 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,000 change. Even if it doesn't, it's still 265 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,840 going to be entertaining. It's still going to be good for 266 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,120 Scottish football and hopefully it's something that we're not 267 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,280 just this isn't just a flash in the pan from Hearts and it will 268 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,360 be something we can see seasons going on into the future. 269 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880 And, and if you're, you know, cast your minds back to just a 270 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,120 bit before this season started when when Tony Bloom first came 271 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,640 into hearts and he said. 10 years. 10 years if if hearts 272 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,320 don't win in in 10 years, I'll be disappointed and everyone 273 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,160 laughed them they generally was you know there was a bit of well 274 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,920 that's quite ambitious, but a lot of people went not a chance 275 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,240 you. Think I heard it and I was like, 276 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,400 I don't know, I I wasn't able to film with this game to like the 277 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,840 level of fight I knew like Brian and stuff like. 278 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,240 Well, yeah, you do question like it's one thing seeing it. 279 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Obviously, obviously, like people that know about Tony 280 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,320 Bloom and know about, you know, how successful he's been with 281 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Brighton and and Union St. and Belgium, yeah, would maybe take 282 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,680 more notice of it. But if, you know, you're a 283 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,280 casual and you see this guy coming to a club and he's going, 284 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,840 yeah, we're going to win the league in the next 10 years when 285 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,280 the one's done it since 1984, then, you know, are you really 286 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,560 going to take him seriously? I don't know, I think a lot of 287 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,240 people were laughing at him, but fair play. 288 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Yeah, and I think Scottishable has had his fair share of people 289 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,960 coming in going, oh, we're going to, you know, shake. 290 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Yeah, like false promises. Yeah, well. 291 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,200 There's been so many. Yeah, so so he said we'll Celtic 292 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,360 first, obviously, like we said, I mean, I mean Martin O'Neill 293 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,920 said he was a bit concerned with the energy levels from his 294 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,400 players. I mean, it was just a one that 295 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,160 when they grinded out against him and that offside goal. 296 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,240 But I mean, I don't know how much that man really threatened 297 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,720 them to be honest. But from the highlights, I think 298 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,560 it's fair to say Celtic didn't look at their best. 299 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:33,480 I was, you know, they just, it was weird as you think Hearts 300 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,000 are maybe dropping off a bit, Hearts back up again and Celtic 301 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,360 scraping past that man. Although they have been a team 302 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,680 that's given Celtic about a bowl of season in the cup final, you 303 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,200 never know really how that plays on players, how they approach a 304 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,800 game and seven man players are trying to recover from moving on 305 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280 from Steve Robinson. Don't know how that affect 306 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,040 effects things. Yeah, I mean, I didn't see the 307 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120 game. I was unfortunately watching 308 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Kilmarnock versus Dundee which will get onto the VAR decision 309 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,800 or not decision more. When the decision. 310 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,120 Was was incredible. But staying on Celtic for the 311 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,160 moment, yeah, from what I've seen of the highlights, it 312 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,880 didn't look, I don't know if it didn't look comfortable, but it. 313 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,880 Didn't look comfortable. Yeah, it was. 314 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,920 It wasn't. It wasn't. 315 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,320 It wasn't an emphatic when and there's not been many of those 316 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,080 under under Martin O'Neill in the second interim spell in the 317 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,480 league anyway. And you know, we've been 318 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,120 probably saying it for two months now. 319 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,440 You can't keep graded out these one the wins, but they are. 320 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,280 But you do wonder if they're going to be able to, to do that 321 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,480 against Hearts, Motherwell, Rangers, even Falkirk and Hibs 322 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,120 maybe. I don't, I don't think Celtic 323 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,960 are are in a position to to be favourites at this stage. 324 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520 I think it for, for me anyway, it comes down to Hearts or 325 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:03,080 Rangers and obviously those six pointers between those two will 326 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,240 be will be massive. Yeah, and they said like they're 327 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,080 going to have to potentially deck out results. 328 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360 I mean, even Martin O'Neill said he's like similar heart control 329 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,640 of all a second-half. We just had to dig in, grind out 330 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,560 the result. It's. 331 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,800 Not what Celtic fans want to hear though. 332 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,480 No, no, it's not that, you know, But is it? 333 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,560 It's just where they are. It's just a reflection of where 334 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,160 that team is at right now. I mean, what's the quality in 335 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,200 there, You know, Negrams, the second got top goal scorer in 336 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,640 the league. It's got 15 goals. 337 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,960 Yeah. It's, it's, it's going to be 338 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,120 interesting to see who drops the first points of this split 339 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,840 because it'll really test their mail because you know when 340 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,400 Celtic, Celtic and Rangers is at the in the middle, isn't it? 341 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,360 Yeah, I think it's third game. Yeah, if I'm almost, I mean I've 342 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,160 not looked in depth at the the post split fixtures of an 343 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Aberdeen fan. You've got your. 344 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,520 Own no the the I was about to say the relegation split is more 345 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,720 important for me than than the top split, but yeah, I think 346 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,880 it's in the middle. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think 347 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,160 speaking from Celtic, Hearts is going to the last game of 348 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,319 season. You I think someone's going to 349 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,520 be on on the cards. Yeah, Hearts fans of, I mean, 350 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,920 like the guys I spoke to are quite concerned about the Hibs 351 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,200 game. Yeah. 352 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880 They feel like that's where points could be dropped and it's 353 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,520 not. You said, isn't it? 354 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,080 It's a Easter Rd. hips have. Run hips are going to be so up 355 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,320 for they're. Well, for especially the and 356 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,160 they've run them close. They have run them close so far 357 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,360 this season. So interesting to see how that 358 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,440 plays out. But yeah, I mean, like like 359 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,160 Rangers, the other team, they're in the top three within, you 360 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,240 know, going in this top the splat. 361 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,720 So obviously you mentioned they're not exactly emphatic 362 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,760 when the Celtic wanted at Celtic Park against Simone, but at 363 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,920 Fokker Stadium. I don't know if if you was harsh 364 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,280 not to call 63 an emphatic one for Rangers, but. 365 00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,960 They had to work for. Yeah, they had to. 366 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,760 They were two nil down. It was certainly like, I mean, 367 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,360 Hearts fans must have been very intrigued by how that first half 368 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:07,720 was going. You know, at one point a little 369 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,720 Dave Fokker were going to pick up a massive win against 370 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,840 Rangers. Not the first time they've got a 371 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,600 result against them. Or at least the Rangers drop 372 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,920 points. Yeah, at least they'll drop 373 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,160 point even if they came back to. Especially yeah two nil down 374 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,280 you're well tunnel Fokker tunnel up hearts fans are looking the 375 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,200 lips thinking you know even if they come back and score to 2.2 376 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,880 points dropped yeah you know a bit more of a lead going into 377 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,400 the split but now we're. Playing the ball about well, I 378 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,720 mean, I watched a good part of the game and I mean I'm off as a 379 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000 as a refund. I'll number the players in that 380 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Folkert side used to play for their overs and Brad Spencer 381 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,160 watching him stroke the ball about. 382 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840 He's a good player. He's and you know, the folk 383 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,840 would really, you know, they weren't just defending their 384 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,240 lead. They were just stroking the ball 385 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,600 about and you know, certain half just like, you know, walking 386 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,080 about the patch instead of just like, you know, sideways passes. 387 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960 So it it it looked by all means that Rangers had a real game on 388 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,000 their hand and all changed in a moment when Rangers were not 389 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,200 long before half time attacking crosses put in. 390 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,880 Now the soccer players stop and appeal for the by CAC as the 391 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,040 cross goes over the goal, potentially behind the goal 392 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960 referee and Lionel don't stop playing balls nodded back into 393 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,520 the six yard box and it's slashed home. 394 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,880 So and like in a second it's 21. Suddenly Rangers just need one 395 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,680 goal and then you've got the whole second-half to go and find 396 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,320 it. They end up going to find five. 397 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,720 Yeah, which is crazy. Obviously that one just pour 398 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,200 half time and then second, second-half, they came out 399 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,360 absolute firing and I think it was three goals and 11 minutes, 400 00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,240 four goals and 16 something crazy like 3-4 goals and 19 401 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,160 something like that. Yeah, yeah, there's 4752 and 58. 402 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,640 Your your good friend Miowski. Get in. 403 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,000 On that, yeah. Yeah, Chimi Miowski got two. 404 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,880 Well, Chimi got two. It was Raskin with the other one 405 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,520 and then it was Chigwani in the first half. 406 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,840 Yeah, obviously Bulker did get it back to 4/3 at one point. 407 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,920 Yeah, from the spot. Good penalty. 408 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,040 I thought it was a good penalty. My dad said I wasn't but. 409 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,320 Goal and assists for him as well. 410 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,800 Yeah, I'm not. It's good going. 411 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,640 You know, obviously John McGlynn talking about him and and how he 412 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,280 could be an asset to Scotland's squads. 413 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,200 I don't think he'll he'll get the call up. 414 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,040 I don't think he's even in contention, unfortunately, but 415 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,760 he's a really good player. He's going back because he was. 416 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,320 You're not like pronunciated. You're probably way too young to 417 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,400 remember this, but there was a time when I was when I was at 418 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,880 high school. Calvin Miller was included in an 419 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,080 article that he was like deemed to be a kind of his top 20 young 420 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,400 footballers in the world, you know, and it's just, it was just 421 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,280 a point to see the way his career sort of tailed off. 422 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,920 You never really, you know, even Celtic, he never really hit any 423 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,600 heights and. Now Celtic fans want him back. 424 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,160 Yeah. Well, yeah, it's crazy. 425 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,920 But he usually, because he was a striker by then. 426 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,240 Yeah, he was a striker. And then, you know, basically he 427 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,800 seems to have worked out. He's now, you know, I mean, I 428 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,040 remember, I remember watching him for this, got into it. 429 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240 Anyone's hoping that he was just going to kick on and it's never 430 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,080 happened and he's playing well, but I just let you sit when 431 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,480 you're staying there. About John Mcglenn happened on 432 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,640 1st Scotland Co-op. In terms of the Scotland squad, 433 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,000 I don't know. I just want to think about 434 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800 options. Then they cut us, actually. 435 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,440 Yeah, we're not that strong in his area, obviously. 436 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,760 He definitely makes the 55 man squad, the initial the initial 437 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,920 55 man squad that Clark has to draft up we. 438 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440 Can go through a full 55 later on in the podcast. 439 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,120 Yeah, we'll cover that at the end, but I just, I don't know, I 440 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,840 think was it 26 man for the World Cup? 441 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,320 Yeah. And then obviously the initial 442 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,240 55 that Clark cast a name that I don't think that will go public 443 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,760 though. No, not at all. 444 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,560 Which is, you know. I think some of the players 445 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,040 won't even know they're in it. No, I doubt it. 446 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,520 Yeah, but players don't know until the squad released, you 447 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,720 know? I mean usually sometimes like 448 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,800 they wait and see it getting released on there unless they 449 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,640 get a wee text or something can. Move on to Championship. 450 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,520 Yeah. Yeah, Johnston picked up a big 451 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,720 win. Three points closer. 452 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,560 Obviously. Partick Thistle also picked up a 453 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,040 good one. You know, there was a point 454 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,840 where part of this were kind of closing the gap on Saint 455 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,880 Johnstone. But I think now it's probably 456 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,280 the league now that is is the the most predictable for Who 457 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,720 Will Win the league, I think St. Johnstone. 458 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,520 Three games, I have 5 point gap. Yeah, I mean. 459 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,600 I can't see part. Of this asking drawn that back, 460 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,400 yeah, part if I saw. Asking from a lot, for a lot of 461 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:28,960 favours. Yeah. 462 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,920 From, you know, like the Rovers. I've got St. 463 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600 Johnstone on Friday night to Friday's time. 464 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Yeah, I think they've, I've got a feeling they've got a roof as 465 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,200 well. Yeah, I would take that, but. 466 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,800 Yeah, obviously the Rover has also got a big win. 467 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,800 Dougie Emery with a well not he didn't score it, but obviously 468 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,160 Dougie Emery's wrath. Rovers side with a a late winner 469 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,800 against this former team Greenock Morton. 470 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,760 As Ian Murray, X-ray manager in charge, of course, like some 471 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,400 weird episode of Football Wife Swap. 472 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,840 They're like, yeah, yeah. Robert, I forgot he was the 473 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,680 manager and I. Yeah, it was a weird game. 474 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,080 The Rovers kind of I felt we controlled most of the first 475 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,200 half. Didn't really didn't really get 476 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,520 questioned too much about Morton apart from the one chance they 477 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,200 really had where they I mean, it was an absolutely. 478 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,400 But scored two, didn't they? In the first half though, Oh 479 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,600 yeah, like it was a crazy good, like the strike, it was Cameron 480 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Blues, like you know, isn't even postage stamp level at top 481 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,960 corner. It was like even farther at the 482 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,480 top corner. Josh Ray really had no chance. 483 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,760 But I had confidence in the team in the second-half that we could 484 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,080 come back and get the lead, not even draw it like going to win 485 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,840 because we had been dominating and died. 2 penalties 486 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,720 potentially from the referee and then but we did get the goals we 487 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,840 needed. We're kind of exposed to Morton 488 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,840 getting you know one goal lead at that point and wanted to come 489 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840 back and make it 22 but we managed to get LA one. 490 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:05,000 I think for the Rovers that's I think I mean we're completely 491 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,560 clear to 10th. 9th would require some sort of level of 492 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,440 compatulation from us. Our away form has been dire. 493 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,840 The last only problem for the Rovers we're the worst team in 494 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,840 the league for away form, like even Morrison County, which is 495 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,200 pretty surprising. Yeah, obviously that's nine 496 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,400 point gap now between you and 9th place Airdrie and it looks 497 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,440 like Ross Kent, you're heading towards back-to-back relegations 498 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,960 after their loss to Queens Park. Was it? 499 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,760 Yeah, well now on the Friday night fixture, Aidan Conley with 500 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,800 three header apparently. How many points adrift are they 501 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,360 now? Just a 2, but Airdrie has a game 502 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,560 in hand on them. Yes, and I mean Ross County's 503 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,960 final games against Air Morton and the Rovers, I mean. 504 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,120 Some winnable games in there, but yeah, with how bad they've 505 00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:57,480 been the whole season, you you don't find some in any game 506 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,520 really. No, I mean I was kept to record 507 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,840 it was a 61 pumping, yes. And it's crazy because obviously 508 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800 at the start of the season, if I'm not mistaken, they were 509 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,720 bookies favourites for the championship. 510 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,840 They looked like they were thrown about more money than St. 511 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Johnstone and they looked like they were the ones recruiting 512 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:17,680 more aggressively. I had the new league campaign 513 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,120 both off the backer allegation and it's just not, I mean, it's 514 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,920 it is, I mean there's not there's not hitting heights 515 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,680 expected and then there's what's happened that. 516 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,760 I mean it's crazy, like the money they've spent compared to 517 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,880 you know, someone like an Arbroath who are still semi 518 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,520 perot I think who are in and about the playoffs now. 519 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320 Yeah, Arbroath are on 47 points one point again. 520 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,520 I had it done Fairmont but not got. 521 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160 They're one game ahead of them, though, and they're eight points 522 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600 ahead a riff. Although my dad was trying to 523 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,480 convince me that the Rovers can steal a playoff place if I mean 524 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,000 I love. His That's his Rover's heart on. 525 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,600 I love his optimism, but like I was saying, I. 526 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,120 Don't see that about I. Mean our roof does have a quite 527 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:07,520 a difficult run and they've got they have got unfair 1 the 528 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,400 Rovers and Partick. The Partick if they want to put 529 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,840 a squeeze on Saint Johnson will look to win that. 530 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320 The firmly are looking to leapfrog Arbroath and Arbroath's 531 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,680 not been in the best form of late. 532 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,680 You know, 3 losses on the goal, now on a trot. 533 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,280 How many? Points behind them are you? 534 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560 We ate behind them, but we've got to play them and we've got a 535 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,280 game in hand on them, so yeah, we've played. 536 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,960 Them and then from. We've played them next weekend, 537 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,680 Yeah. Then this is like, 538 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,240 hypothetically for words, man speaking, but we're playing them 539 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,080 next weekend. If we beat Queen Spark in the 540 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,800 week and we beat them next weekend, but only two points off 541 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,120 them. With a game in hand? 542 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,400 No, that's the game in hand. Level on games so. 543 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,640 You'd need them firmly to slip up as well though, right? 544 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,400 No. Well, if you have done firmly 545 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,200 and beat our roof, they got above our growth and then we 546 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,480 would need to win our final games and probably get a point 547 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,280 against Johnston. But I mean, because air is in 548 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,240 the same point as US 59. But air, I've got their own 549 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,400 problems right now. Yeah, I mean they're they're 550 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,040 nine points ahead. The air, which again there's I 551 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,640 can't see anything there. Airdrie realistically, when we 552 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960 have ambitions of catching Morton, I feel this point here 553 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,000 are 6 points ahead and they've got a game in handle more than 554 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,800 at least. But I mean, it's going to be 555 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,920 it's going to be an interesting end to the Championship season. 556 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,240 It's definitely, I think, where people should be looking at that 557 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,480 table is the bottom, not the top. 558 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,280 Yeah, I think as we said previously, the title looks more 559 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,520 set than than any other divisions, but relegation is 560 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,240 still very much exciting. So I think we can move one 561 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,320 further down to League One, Yeah, where the title race was. 562 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,800 At OCO view. Yeah, OCO View, obviously Stanny 563 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:50,240 kind of surprise contenders after going up two seasons ago 564 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,560 from League 2 and they've been, you know, in and around 1st 565 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,280 place the whole season. Obviously leapfrogged Inverness 566 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,520 Cali I think a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago now. 567 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:07,040 And I've stayed there since on a big point for them with a late 568 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,760 penalty, I think 82nd minute, yeah, which was very dubious. 569 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320 I think even more dubious than than the Hearts penalty that we 570 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,240 mentioned earlier. I don't think there's a penalty. 571 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,320 I think it's it's a big decision. 572 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,800 But Steny fans won't mind. I think they'll be happy to take 573 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,640 that. Two points ahead and Inverness 574 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840 going into their final. Obviously Inverness with the 575 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,280 game in hand though, I think. Yeah, three-game. 576 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,040 Yeah, Inverness. I've got four games before the 577 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,880 end of the season. Steny just only got 3 to play. 578 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,360 But I mean, yeah, that's maybe incredible because like, 579 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,920 Inverness came with resources and like, off the back of their 580 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680 relegation and things like that. Standard to me. 581 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,320 I'm pretty sure they're still part time under Gary Naismith. 582 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,240 If you look further than the table in League One as well, 583 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400 it's just as tight than the bomb, obviously. 584 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,800 Hamilton Aki's three points above Celtic Hearts at the 585 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,600 bottom, which is what, 2 points, 2 points, which is quite 586 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,240 remarkable given they've been deducted 21 in total, I think. 587 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,760 And they got initial 15 and then our initial 6th and another 15 588 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,960 or other way around. And they're still fighting for 589 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,200 survival. They are returning to Hamilton. 590 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,000 I don't know if you've seen that for next season. 591 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,800 They are Douglas Park. Returning to New Douglas Park, 592 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,120 which is, you know, really good news for the fans who have been 593 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400 through. I can imagine getting this place 594 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,600 like that. Yeah, a lot to Broadwood, 595 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,040 obviously. I think they've been all over in 596 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,360 in recent years. I thought as a stadium, I think 597 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,440 I'm fair, Broadwood. Well, I'm sure Hamilton fans 598 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,240 will prefer no part. So I'm just saying if I was 599 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,400 going to watch, if I was having to go and watch Hamlin players 600 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,760 and away supporter, I think broad would be my preference. 601 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,000 But yes, it was quite still. Yeah, I think there has been 602 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,560 plans to develop a ground. I'm not sure where that is. 603 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,400 I think you might have read rather Glen, maybe I. 604 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280 Thought rather Glen someone I saw because I mean, I grew up in 605 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,720 Google Maps. Because obviously there was, you 606 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,200 know, they just swapped stadiums. 607 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,360 I remember going to Aberdeen versus Clyde in the Scottish Cup 608 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,880 and going to New Douglas Park and I and I want. 609 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,400 To take off a new stadium when they move. 610 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,520 It yeah, yeah. So no, it'll be good for 611 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,000 Hamilton fans to return back to to their actual stadium just. 612 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000 Depends if it'll be. In and the two or league. 613 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,240 They'll be hoping it's in League One. 614 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,360 Yeah, moving on to League 2 now I think Title race still really 615 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,400 tight. They're both teams slipping up 616 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,640 though. East Kilbride losing to four fur 617 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,960 Spartans and Spartans losing to Sonora. 618 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,400 So yeah, it's a it's a game of who wants to win it more. 619 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,280 I think neither of them are picking up the results they they 620 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,720 wanted that weekend. Especially the title races all 621 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,960 over the, you know, in each league apart from the 622 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040 championship like you said. Yeah, I mean, even like up until 623 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,800 a couple of weeks ago it was Premiership, Championship, 624 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,320 League One, League 2 low and League and the High end league, 625 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,840 all you know, titles completely open, obviously. 626 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,080 Highland. League is now decided. 627 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,040 I mean it just finished there the weekend like this weekend, 628 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,880 but it was kind of decided and the effection between Beacon and 629 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,800 Rora that you know, first and second up against each other 630 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,040 Rora 2 one winners there. Yeah. 631 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,120 You know, I think they would have to have lost in some crazy 632 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,800 situation would had to card with Beacons when for that deficit to 633 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,640 be overtime in terms of yeah, but they drew at the weekend. 634 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,240 They ended up winning the league by one point yeah, they go into 635 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,360 the Premier League playoff pediment to get into League 2. 636 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,840 So congratulations to brew Rangers. 637 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,480 I've got a pile up Brodaway actually, so. 638 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,840 There you go. Show it to him. 639 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,560 Whoever. Yeah. 640 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,680 What's his name? Campbell. 641 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,320 There you go.

I'll be going up for that, so. 644 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,760 So there you go, Broda will Well, they'll face either Lunska 645 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,400 Rose or Clydebank. Obviously. 646 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440 Luska Rose beat Clydebank 4/1 was it? 647 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,280 Yeah 41 which is a massive 1 leapfrogging them to the top of 648 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,960 the table. I think they played Bonnie Rae 649 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,200 Glass game in season. Well, yeah, going into going 650 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,320 into the the weekend's fixtures, Bonnie and I at the time of 651 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,720 record, yeah, Bonnie and I grew on 68 when the Gurus were on 69 652 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,120 and Clydebank won 70. Two points between 2:00. 653 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,520 Points separating the top. 3 is there. 654 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,320 On left grow is, you know, 41 Vector is very convinced against 655 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,000 Clydebank. You know, they're still I mean, 656 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,760 to be fair, I mean in terms of who I'd like to seen. 657 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,320 I mean, I've done a couple of posts on the tech talk and 658 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,320 Instagrams about like lost aims of the past and yeah, kind of 659 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,720 refreshed me in terms of get up to speak with Clyde Bank story. 660 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,960 I knew about it, but I had never actually. 661 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Yeah, personally, I'd prefer Clyde. 662 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,600 Bank the journey they've gone through the Scottish people 663 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,800 tiers to get back to this point one step away from the 664 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,320 professional leagues again yeah their. 665 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,080 Their whole story of. Yeah. 666 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,120 Of losing their club really, and having to rebuild. 667 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,960 Yeah, it'd be a great story. Obviously the world needs Bonnie 668 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640 Rig to do them a favour against Alaska Rose. 669 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,040 Yeah, last game of the season is Clyde Bank of Hope, Caledonia 670 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,080 Braves. Which should, yeah, you'd expect 671 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,280 them to to win. As fifth versus second, but I 672 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,920 mean, Claybank will be home and that and they'll be 1. 673 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,000 Bonnie Raiku because of their draw at the weekend, means they 674 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,440 can't really overturn the goal difference. 675 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,680 A mental final day with that but if they won three horse race 676 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,280 final day season yeah first versus. 677 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,120 Second, I think if they won it would it would be much. 678 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,280 One point. It would really one point in 679 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,560 that. Yeah, it'd be, it'd be crazy, 680 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,320 you know, they'd be needing, they'd be needing it to be, 681 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,040 they'd be needing a draw. Clay Bannon been in a draw in 682 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,480 that game because any other result would rule them out. 683 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,080 But body makes draw has kind of ruled them out that now. 684 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,440 And now they're looking through. Well, Clay Banker, we hope they 685 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,400 do them a favour. Yeah, well, whoever wins that 686 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,200 will then go into that playoff against Broad Rangers and then 687 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,880 whoever wins that will go into the Tigers and Bracelet who have 688 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,480 been confirmed bottom League 2 only because of their point 689 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,280 deduction. Stonewalling would be sitting 690 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,520 bomb at the time of recording if they hadn't got that points 691 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,000 deduction. So yeah, Edward City, we feeling 692 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,280 pretty hard done by again there. You know, they've had a pretty 693 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,600 good season by by their by their expectations at the start of the 694 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,280 season. So, you know, commiserations to 695 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,480 them and I think that wraps up everything around the SPFL. 696 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,639 Yeah. I mean, it's yeah, it felt good 697 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:46,679 to go top to bottom there and give a lot of coverage because 698 00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,760 we we do usually talk Premier League, but like I said, 699 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,639 Highland League when I was broader, we've got an interest 700 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,639 into the season the only. We don't just watch the 701 00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:58,760 Premiership, I promise. I would love to have gone up for 702 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,040 that. We had talked about going on 703 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,280 trying to cover the Aurora region game, but it was midweek. 704 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,720 Yeah, it just, you know, full time job and full time shouldn't 705 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,520 kind of be everyone going that one. 706 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,640 Yeah. So that covers league stuff, 707 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,240 Scotland, it's only going to get worse as. 708 00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,640 Well, excited every time. Every get excited every time I 709 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,000 talk about it. I So for the World Cup Steve 710 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,280 Clark is due to name for FIFA requirements. 711 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,120 This won't be like a public squad that released. 712 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,480 He has to name a 55 man squad which is like the preliminary 713 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,600 national squad that he then packs the final 26 man squad 714 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,840 from. He did a joke about including 715 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,800 himself and that he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to 716 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680 find 55 players. I've got 55 the. 717 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,240 Help of my friend has drafted up his 55 man squad. 718 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,640 I've saved us. I think we'd probably go through 719 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,120 most of the same players twice, but and just. 720 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,840 Agree or disagree? Obviously. 721 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,880 Yeah. Like Jim said, if we both did 722 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,600 one then we'd probably pick at least 40 of the same players. 723 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,560 So to spare you the hassle we've just got mine. 724 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,520 I've got a few rogue names in there and you can tell me if you 725 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,320 think I've missed any out. So yeah, starting with 726 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,160 goalkeepers, I've gone for only four Craig Gordon, Angus Gunn, 727 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,880 Scott Bain and Liam Kelly. Yeah, it makes sense. 728 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,160 Left backs I've got Robertson, Kieran Tierney, Josh Doig, Harry 729 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,680 Milne and James Penrice. Can't argue with that, really. 730 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,240 Yeah, Centre Max. I've got Scott McKenna, John 731 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:30,960 Sitter, Jack Kendry, Stuart Finley and Craig Calcott, as 732 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,600 well as Stephen Welsh. Grant Hanley, who I included 733 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,640 because I know Steve Clark well. You includes Grant Hanley. 734 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,760 Yeah, you wouldn't. And if no, in a 55 man squad I 735 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,720 would. Right. 736 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,040 And Luke Graham, you. Wouldn't you wouldn't include 737 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,680 him in the final squad? No, no, he's not been playing 738 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,000 enough. He's been injured, though. 739 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,080 Exactly. Yeah, but come the end of the 740 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,440 season, assuming he's been playing, no, no. 741 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,680 OK, So it's not whether or not it's not the fact he's not been 742 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,960 playing enough. You just don't want to squad. 743 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,960 Don't. Want him in the squad, but 744 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,640 obviously for what he's done for the national team, for how many 745 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,520 Cavs? I don't think he gets in a 746 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,240 minute like that. I think he actually does bring 747 00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:13,960 someone to the team. I think a lot of people disagree 748 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,400 with you. I'm fine man. 749 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,280 Yeah, and then the last two being Luke Graham and Dominic 750 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,880 Kia. Have I missed anyone? 751 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200 Ryan Porters. Ryan Porter's almost made it in. 752 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,880 Almost. How is he not making it? 753 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,840 I just I've not seen him enough at LAFC and I don't think. 754 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,080 He's been playing so well for them. 755 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,480 I was, I was more thinking of a real like who was more likely to 756 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,640 get in. And he's not been seen by anyone 757 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,920 since, Well, barely been seen since obviously that. 758 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,200 Germany backs again. Give them time. 759 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,040 Scott McKenna, John Serter, Jack Kendrick, Stuart Finley, Craig 760 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,080 Calcott, Stephen Welsh, Grant Hanley, Luke Graham and Dominic 761 00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,240 Keon. I think there's been a four on 762 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,320 that list you've named. I would have him in over. 763 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,200 Who? Probably Halka or Finley Welsh 764 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,440 and then did you? Have him in over Steven Welsh. 765 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,680 Yeah, and then Luke Graham. Really. 766 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,640 Mate, he's playing a good level. He was playing a good level 767 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,440 before he went across there. He's consistent. 768 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,640 I I can't believe how much he has been punished for that. 769 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,120 You know, people make mistakes. The German game we had an 770 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,680 absolute Howard. He's he's played the all time 771 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,760 for us since, but not really got a notable game time. 772 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,320 He was a mainstay in that team and he. 773 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,840 Mainstay when we were having the the five at the back kind of 774 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,280 pendulum system. Good. 775 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,320 And we, you know, we, you know, Steve Clark has admitted we will 776 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,080 have to jump between systems. I feel like. 777 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,560 Yeah, it disappoints me. He's the way he sort of dropped 778 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,720 out but I'm surprised he has made your 55 man squad. 779 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,200 There you go. You can add him into yours then. 780 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,840 Yeah, but right back I've got Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson, 781 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,920 Ross McCrory, Max Johnston and Colby Donovan. 782 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,480 Anyone of us you? Didn't say it, you said Allison. 783 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,040 No, not a chance. He's getting it there. 784 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,040 Not a chance. He said before, realistically I 785 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,000 know Heinle get included, so I've got to include him. 786 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,000 Oh, spite, I'm not including him. 787 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,920 I mean, I actually thought Tony Ralston should I shoot more for 788 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,000 Scotland than I mean, I know it's just one game, but I wasn't 789 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,840 overly impressed with McCrory against Ivory Coast. 790 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,120 Yeah, I wasn't overly impressed with him either, but. 791 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,320 I think I think Ralston gets in there ahead of him from I agree 792 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,000 with Kobe. Oliver Merit or like actually a 793 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,960 Billy? A Billy, OH. 794 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,280 Come on. And I wasn't impressed by 795 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,520 Mccrory's ability were. You impressed by Anthony Ralston 796 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,240 in any game? I don't think he's like, as bad 797 00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,840 as people make out. He's not. 798 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,200 He's not. I've generally I don't remember 799 00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,320 a good game he's had for Scotland. 800 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,320 Never seen a good game, I said. He had that. 801 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,800 He wasn't awful. He's been awful in most. 802 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,600 Games, I mean, I had, I had day expectations about Macquarie. 803 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,520 I heard quite good things from Bristol say. 804 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,960 Yeah, and it's been one game. Yeah, I know. 805 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,600 It's a friendly as well. I just didn't. 806 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,000 And he wasn't good. But if you look at the ages, 807 00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:20,440 McCrory is younger so, so I think for the future, you have 808 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,120 to to look at him. And I think for Anthony Ralston, 809 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,720 he's proven time and time again for me. 810 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,280 I don't want to use him as scapegoat because I know I do 811 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,720 sometimes. They had a hell I mean. 812 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,360 He's awful. He's awful in the EUR and he's 813 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,320 been awful since then. I don't, I don't know. 814 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,400 How he has got person's heroes? I don't think he has for 815 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,240 Scotland and I think I would much rather Colby Donovan than 816 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:43,200 Anthony. No, but OK. 817 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,280 I mean, I think we're arguing about something as immaterial 818 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,320 because, like, in the final squad, I think he'll be in it. 819 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,920 I think he'll probably still be in the final squad. 820 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,840 Yeah. Because, I mean, for me, Clark 821 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,400 does give. And all folks are saying about 822 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,840 the Finley carts and being quite surprised that Clark included 823 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,680 him. But Clark has proved himself to 824 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,600 be a guy that will give youngsters a chance when he 825 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,800 thinks the time is right. And because he's not either a 826 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,120 partisan for the Euro 2020, either. 827 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,000 Billy Gilmore, Lena Miller has finally got his chance. 828 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000 And people would argue, maybe not as quick as they would have 829 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,480 liked to seen him. I still don't think he's given 830 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,200 Lennon Miller enough minutes at all. 831 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,920 No, you had different he got, but he's good some. 832 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,600 Did he get 0 in the last in the last break again? 833 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,480 But but he hasn't called them. I'm just but like, if you're not 834 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,240 going to give them minutes in these friendlies against Japan 835 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:29,560 and Ivory Coast, he's not going to get any in the World Cup, is 836 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,280 it? Or maybe he does what he does 837 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,440 with Billy Gilmore and chucks in the deep end, but I can't see 838 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,400 that happening. No, I can't see it. 839 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,080 I mean, I think the Billy Gilmore thing was out of 840 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,760 necessary for what the Scotland team was facing at that point in 841 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,200 time. But yeah, I mean it was, it was 842 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,480 disappearing, the point not similar because we got to see 843 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,120 McLean again, even though we know what you can give. 844 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,400 Exactly. I like McLean. 845 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,000 I think friendlies are about experimenting more than he did. 846 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,400 Yeah, I think you maybe did. Experiment is not amazing. 847 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,520 We want to see yeah, but no club Donovan is has been playing. 848 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,720 He is someone, if he could finish the season good for 849 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,720 Celtic, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be in the squad 850 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:08,600 of arouse then. But what will he be? 851 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,440 Yeah, exactly so right, midfield. 852 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,480 Midfield first, just centre mids. 853 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,760 I've got Ryan Christie, Lewis Ferguson, Lynn Miller, Billy 854 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,520 Gilmore, Elliot Watt, Rogue One, Jordan Helsgrove. 855 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,400 Not rogue at all, mate. Him out? 856 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,400 Yeah, good. Under Ian Kathros out. 857 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,640 Yeah, one of he's been Ian Kathrow has been named as one of 858 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,160 the 23 most. Exciting young managers. 859 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,880 Exciting young managers. I think Hearts fans will 860 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,000 probably be laughing at that with his 26% win record. 861 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,360 But he's been doing really well. Obviously was under the wing of 862 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:49,040 no Esperanto Santo I think and then has kind of found himself a 863 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,040 Esteril who were favourites for relegation and has gotten to 864 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,960 come to me mid table, even pushing to the to the upper 865 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,800 thirds at times. I mean, he had quite a poor 866 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,720 start to the season and he's not the season. 867 00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:03,440 He has been there for a bit longer than that. 868 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,520 But he's he's a national on boarding period was about ropy. 869 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,480 But once he got the gaps where I mean, they've been sort of 870 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,360 heralded for playing some of the most exciting football in the 871 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,040 league. Exactly. 872 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,280 And Jordan Holsgrove, it's part of that. 873 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,640 One of the one of the key stays in that team. 874 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,000 So I've got him, I've got Kenny McLean. 875 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,960 And then just to fill out the I was struggling for names at one 876 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,400 point, David Watson, Mark Leonard and Tyler Fletcher. 877 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,440 Tyler Fletcher, you know, he's been involved in the Man United 878 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,480 first. Team has been, yeah. 879 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:41,000 You have to be pretty decent to, well, maybe not now you usually 880 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,920 have to be pretty decent to to get into that, to that first 881 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,480 team. Yeah, my has been doing better 882 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,760 though, and Sony's. Well, yeah, they are third or 883 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,920 fourth. So those are my centre meds. 884 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,640 I know Liam Henderson. I did that. 885 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,320 I I did forget. I won't lie, I did forget. 886 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,200 Even you I mind writing an article about him many years 887 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,400 ago. Been like, you know, I thought 888 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,160 he was. He was. 889 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,960 In Serbina? Or is he back in Syria? 890 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,720 Is he Empoli Sampdoria he's been all about? 891 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,320 I think he's Sam, Sam Dorian, Sam Dorian and the SAB. 892 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,080 So yeah, I missed him out. I would probably put him in. 893 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,400 Back in, we're talking about. Yeah, you won't get into the 894 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,840 final squad. Centre attacking mids have got 895 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:27,880 McGinn, Mctominy and the Irving, Rheingold and Josh Mulligan. 896 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,120 I know he's not as a calm as the others. 897 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,200 Josh Mulligan, obviously injured as well, but 55 months scored 898 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,600 and I'd put them in. Yeah, wingers. 899 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,600 I've got Ben Guy and Duke Finlay, Curtis, Tommy Conway, 900 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,640 Calvin Miller that we mentioned earlier, Lewis Morgan, Ollie 901 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,640 Burke, who is the fastest player in the Bundesliga. 902 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,920 I saw that he's still been the fastest player of the season, 37 903 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,160 kilometres an hour. Come back after this 904 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,920 conversation because. Ollie works in there. 905 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,600 Might not be this podcast but I mean looking at I genuinely 906 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,960 think Spark should be in the squad, the final squad. 100% I 907 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,520 think it gives us something. That, you know, in a team, I 908 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:09,920 mean, he. Should have been in an instead 909 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,680 of from the curse or both. A deal? 910 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,400 Well. I mean, Luke, I think we've 911 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,520 touched this before, which one doesn't have Ben Duke in the 912 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,280 squad? There's a frightening lack of 913 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,720 pace. And I think when you looked at 914 00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:25,000 how we played an Ivy Coast game, we controlled the game. 915 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,360 But getting up the patch quick and opportunities where we 916 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,280 really could had the better urgency about us and a better 917 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,160 pace to brave Ford. We lacked that. 918 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,000 Yeah. And that took away from our 919 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,600 attacking threat. And it's what made Ivory Court 920 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,080 such a threat. I don't, I don't think they 921 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,440 didn't control the game, but they've had one nil victors and 922 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,600 they had a couple of moments where they really had a 923 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,280 scarpering to get back. Exactly. 924 00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,800 And and I think that that's the thing, we're in the World Cup 925 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,040 where we're playing Morocco and Brazil, we're going to expect to 926 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,480 not have much of the ball. And how we're wanting to attack 927 00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,960 is probably mostly counter attack. 928 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:04,040 And apart from Ben Gan and Doke, we have no pace like we saw. 929 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,240 And you know, if you think about, you know, the likely 930 00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:09,000 frontline that we're going to have, it's probably going to be 931 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,040 Ben Gan and Doke, hopefully fingers crossed, as well as 932 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,720 either probably Christie or McGinn out on another one. 933 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,360 And then Jay Adams or London next on top. 934 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,040 Like in those kind of situations, you kind of look 935 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,560 even because I know like Christy and began our traditional 936 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,480 wingers, you kind of look to your feel backs for that pace. 937 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,360 Yeah, Robertson's just not like not easy. 938 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,320 He's not he's not slow, but he's not like he was before and he's 939 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,080 not got the legs to do it later in the game. 940 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,800 Jason. Patterson has that pace, but 941 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,240 he's probably not going to be starting. 942 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,360 Iron. Hickey isn't the fastest, you 943 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,720 know. He's not known for his pace. 944 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,600 Yeah. So I mean, I think, I think I 945 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,640 wasn't, I wasn't surprised not to see Bark in the most recent 946 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,560 squad, but I haven't seen how the game is played out and how 947 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,280 he played. I think peace is an issue that 948 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,960 needs addressed and you know a bit, even if dork's fat, I think 949 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,520 I would. I would like to see Bark and 950 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,640 their national squad for the friendlies to see what he brings 951 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,760 because as also. Friendly. 952 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,960 Obviously, since we've been away, the Bolivia friendly has 953 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,160 been confirmed. Yeah, it's going to be Bolivia. 954 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,640 New Jersey Sports Illustrated Stadium. 955 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,720 Is that the New York one? Really It's it's a new New York, 956 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:20,560 New Jersey. Yeah. 957 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,920 So that's on the 4th. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a week 958 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,240 after the Crusoe game at Hamden. Few 32 pointers going to get 959 00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,440 knocked off their perch in the Scotland Sports Club with that 960 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,560 one. I don't know if it's counting 961 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,920 towards points. Oh, true. 962 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,880 Yeah, I hope it's not. I hope it's not. 963 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,320 Yeah. Well, we got what you're saying 964 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,080 the Ivory Coast game well. Because that ivory. 965 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,840 Might it might not count towards the EUR it'll. 966 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,240 Count towards the EUR if this game doesn't get if the Bolivia 967 00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,120 game doesn't get counted, so it better fucking knockout. 968 00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:53,080 Yeah, I think it might. Like, I've got that. 969 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,040 Well, I mean, but yeah, no bark. You're talking about bark in 970 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,960 those games against Brazil. He's actually got experience 971 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,640 playing against Brazil for Scotland, so too long 972 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,960 tournament. What was that again? 973 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,840 When was that? We're going back. 974 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,240 I mean, he did. It was on the 20s. 975 00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:10,080 I think he must have been about 2021 and he's now, he's the same 976 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,800 age as me. So that's going back eight 977 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,920 years. Eight years ago, Billy Gilmer 978 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,600 was, I think it was a tournament before Billy Gilmer got named. 979 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,080 Very strong player of the tournament. 980 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,840 Greg Taylor scored actually against Brazil and in one of the 981 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,000 games Bark was really good there. 982 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,760 Again, that was back when he looked like he was going to be. 983 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,480 A real next big thing and. Yeah, a real force in Scottish 984 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960 football. But I mean, it's not worked. 985 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480 He's he's got a good week here going over in Germany right now. 986 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,360 And like, I mean, he would make my final squad. 987 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,200 He'd make is it OK? But Rush, yeah, he would make my 988 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,520 squad for the friendlies. And I think, I think having 989 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,040 Lyndon Dykes and George Hurst together doesn't offer you much 990 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:47,920 different. And I drive. 991 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,840 George Hurst been in there. Such a waste scored. 992 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,800 At the weekend, though, Yeah, well, we'll stand by it, Yeah, 993 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,280 but no, no, no. I mean, seems a nice guy, but 994 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,200 yeah, I'm not. Yeah, yeah. 995 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:04,360 Then closing out, yeah, along with Holliberg closing out the 996 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,680 winger section, I've got Danny Armstrong, who's obviously 997 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,000 playing his football in Romania, Dynamo Bucharest. 998 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000 I think, yeah, this one. And then a rogue One, Emilio 999 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,840 Lawrence, who's been playing really well in League One for 1000 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,360 Luton Town. Yep, scored today at 10 1001 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,200 recording, which is a Sunday. And yeah, he's been really good. 1002 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,600 Obviously scored four goals back in that game against Gibraltar 1003 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,560 for the Scotland on the 20 ones. So he looks, you know, hopefully 1004 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,760 like the next one with a bit of pace as well that can come 1005 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,200 through, you know, maybe. So a long way to go the. 1006 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,280 Nations League or or Euro qualifying campaign and then 1007 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,440 closing at the squad with the Strikers. 1008 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:47,440 I've got Linen Dykes, Jay Adams, Barney Stewart, Olie Mcburney, 1009 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,680 Robbie Uri, Ross Stewart, Kieran Bowie, Lawrence Shankland and 1010 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,880 then another Rogue One, Ryan Oni, who just won the League One 1011 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,200 league with Lincoln City. Yeah, his goal pretty much put 1012 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,160 the seal. Goal put the seal on it. 1013 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,280 Lincoln City fans love him, obviously he's on loan from 1014 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,600 Sheffield United and they're not too happy about that. 1015 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,320 They're they've fallen in in love with a lone player. 1016 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,440 Like they've said, all done it, they've all done it, but it'll 1017 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,800 be. Right now actually pull into 1018 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,960 what they're over. He's going back to Rangers. 1019 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,880 He's he's he's got he's gone on a better things. 1020 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,440 What a player. Yeah, it'll be interesting to 1021 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,200 see how he gets on at Sheffield United. 1022 00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:27,640 If he gets the game time in the Championship, yeah, he probably 1023 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,480 deserves. Because he's he's proved himself 1024 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,520 in League One of the season, He's not actually had the amount 1025 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,520 of goals he's scored. He's not actually had as many 1026 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,040 starts as you think. He's been a real impact player, 1027 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,840 came off the bench and got a lot of, you know, put a lot of goals 1028 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,800 to his name. They've ultimately held Lincoln 1029 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,400 to their promotion. So I think he's he's above 1030 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,600 level. League One. 1031 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,040 He's proved himself there. Well, Sheffield United keep him. 1032 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,640 Well, he go on loan. Yeah, someone else next season, 1033 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,280 who knows. But yeah, he's doing good thing. 1034 00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,000 Great to see. Dad used to play for the Rovers 1035 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,600 actually. Armando. 1036 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,800 Yeah. So yeah, Frenchman. 1037 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,200 So he's obviously half like Ryan. 1038 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,960 I don't know who it was it brought. 1039 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,520 I think it wasn't just the Rovers they played for. 1040 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,440 I've got a feeling he was my Petronaut and stuff as well. 1041 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,000 But yeah, our mind was, it was at the Rovers. 1042 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,880 It was actually he was in the Rovers team the season, the 1043 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,160 first season I started supporting us and this is all 1044 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,240 these years. I got relegated. 1045 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,240 No, no, we were League. I was old Division Two by then. 1046 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,840 And he was, yeah, that was the season Craig Levine came in to 1047 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,080 help set the ship at the Rovers and he helped bring in John 1048 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,600 Mcglin. That was John Mcglin's first 1049 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,200 role in management. There you go. 1050 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,680 Yeah, so, but yeah, I, Ryan, obviously son of Armand because 1051 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,840 of that move the, I don't know if it was moved to overs or 1052 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,800 whoever that brought him to Scotland, but he's he's kind of, 1053 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,040 he's looking a better player than his dad that way. 1054 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,240 So yeah, obviously I've not included James Wilson. 1055 00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:51,200 That's probably a mess on my part, I've just realized. 1056 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,360 But he could probably be playing in the same league as Ryan only 1057 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,520 next season when Spurs get relegated to the Championship. 1058 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,280 Yeah, it's crazy. I didn't imagine being James 1059 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,280 Wilson. The element starts season right, 1060 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,560 mate? You're going to get moved to 1061 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:05,800 spars. Great. 1062 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,800 No one catches hearts while we're playing champions like 1063 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,320 football next season and you're going to be in the chat and 1064 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,800 you're going to be in the chat. Oh, it might not come to pass, 1065 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,320 but it's. They're in the real usually. 1066 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,440 Not looking.
