A look back at historic football tournaments from the perspective of a couple of Scottish football fans. In the first series, we delve into the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and find, not only a brilliant tournament, but also player strikes, an alleged poisoning, Henry Kissenger's failed attempt at soccer diplomacy and the head of the Scottish FA referring to the Uruguayan's as 'cheats and cowards, the scum of world football!' We're in the midst of recording series 2, where we look back to Italia 90.Steven Marshall and Nick Mayberry Football

    It's semi-final time! As well as covering the two games, we manage to uncover a convoluted refereeing scandal that manages to loop Dundee United into the story...Not something that just anyone can do! We also delve into the Toto Schillaci story and discuss the human side of a man who became superhuman for a few weeks back in 1990.

    Hi listeners, we intend to cover the 2026 WC in real time so pods won't be published exclusively on Wednesday's but instead will drop in and around the Scotland games and then our favourite remaining games should Scotland, inconceivable as it is, fail to make it all the way to the final. So, please follow our show to make sure you don't miss any episodes and if you could give us a 5 star review at the same time that would be magic...thanks everyone!

    A break from our usual format...this is a one off episode where we discuss the title decider in the Scottish Premiership. Hearts travel to Parkhead to play Celtic to determine the outcome of the most exciting season in the Scottish top flight since God was a boy. The first 20 mins were recorded on the morning of the match...the last 10 mins were recorded the morning after when we picked throught the shattered remains of Nick's heart.
