Fantasy Fitba Pod

Fresh from an action packed trip to the Highland (no, we weren't at ICT v Partick Thistle) we dust off the confetti and review a weekend brimming with headlines. John talks us through the pie and bovril situation at Fir Park, Scobie reiterates in both English and Hebrew why Abada is a must have, and we weigh up which ex-Celtic set piece taker will steal the plaudits on Tayside this weekend. Spoiler alert: it'll be the uglier one.

In what was meant to be a tête-à-tête between two sides of the Old Firm coin, we settle for just one half in our now regular panelist Mr Craig Geoghegan. Fresh off back to back Scotland wins (including tonight's heroics in Vienna) we settle ourselves down after some initial Sir Steve Clarke fandom and get right in to the Fantasy Football Scotland. We've Old Firm's to reflect on, Edinburgh Derby's to look ahead to, and Declan Gallagher quandaries to discuss...👓

Oh, we're going to Ibiza! ☀️ Well, not both of us but John is. Mere minutes before he boards his plane, live from the departures lounge, we dissect Week 3 of the Cinch's finest. Hearts vs Aberdeen turned out to be not quite to contest we anticipated (but at least we're talking about it on the pod), Ange's boys found their shooting boots once again, and Motherwell got a W on the board thanks to that "Elder Statesman" Tony Electric Watt. But, most importantly, what was our team name of the week?

We're back after a short League Cup induced interruption (but who's really cared about that for the past 59 years...) to look ahead to Week 3 of the Scottish Premiership. We bless the cup ground the Callum Davidson walks on, we positively drool over the Doner Pie, and we look back and forth and ask some mighty big questions of teams around the league after Week 2. Let's get to it.

If Carlsberg did season opening weekends...they'd probably include a newly promoted side upstaging recent treble treble winners, new songs about American strikers taking the league by storm, big Dutch forwards flying in to challenges and making sure everyone remembered their name, and Hamilton drawing after being 4-1 down. Oh wait, they're in the Championship now. Well, it was still an opening weekend to remember so we unpick the action, take stock of new stars setting the Fantasy world alight, and explain why we're inclined to roll those transfers, baby.

And just like that, the Euros have been and gone, the Summer break has been had...and we're ready for Season 2 of Fantasy Football Scotland! We hope you're all refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to re-enter to fantasy fold. We discuss all things new (of which there is a lot), lightly touch on Scotland's majestic 8 day run in the Championship, and run through the players catching our eye this season. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! Oh, and we're officially 'experts' now...

The end is sadly upon us...but not before the End Of Season Awards Party 2021! We look back on a season of ups and more ups - a year like no other - and finally reveal the winners of our much anticipated awards including Flop Of The Season, Bargain Basement Find, and the inaugural Train You Had To Be On. We'd like to thank each and every one of our loyal listeners for your support in this, our first season. See you in July 👋🏼

We are joined by Fantasy Fitba Scotland ROYALTY 👑 this week in the form of Gameweek 36 high scorer Gregor Smith. He talks us through how the stars aligned for him to take top spot, the trials and tribulations of being a "big left back" in the modern era, and has a right old moan about English FPL managers which in itself is worth listening to this episode for. It's our last pre-Gameweek episode of the season so tune in it one final time!

A guest this week who has two teams because he forgot the login detail for his first (and more infamous) team - Frank Lampard Is Guff. Ladies and Gentleman...Danny Neilson. We cover a wide range of topics in this episode (including a horticultural question from a little fan in Newcastle) and look back on the first week of post-split action. Did our predictions come true? Well, you'll just have to find out.

The Wildcard is finally upon us. It's almost as exciting as the pubs being open again. We go Fried (Brian) Rice for all things post-split transfers this episode as we prepare for Fantasy Football Scotland being back for the last hurrah, reflect on the Scotland National Team's rollercoaster week and the fantasy implications, and get John's views on the familiar face joining Aberdeen as Assistant Manager.
