Fantasy Fitba Pod

We cleanly jump our 31st hurdle on this, the eve of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. After John finally gets over Scobie winning a bet he wasn't part of, we cast our minds back across weeks of action which saw the (non-compliant) crowning of the Champions, a sad day for tanning salons in Aberdeen with the end of the McInnes reign, and a brace for 'the most complete striker' in Scotland. Our last episode before the 4 week mid-season, pre-split, only-in-Scotland Scottish football break.

🚨 MILESTONE KLAXON 🚨 It's our 30th episode and in true dirty 30 fashion, we thought we'd have a bit too much to drink and shoot straight from the hip for anyone listening. We review the season so far as we sit just two games from the split (or spit) meaning we go top to bottom reviewing each club in a single word, picking out our stars and stinkers, and assessing where they stand ahead of the season finale.

The pubs are reopening! Neil Lennon is out of the job! The Euros are happening! John got a Tennents hamper! A week of wild action, to say the least. We reflect on Alexander's honeymoon going well and truly sour, Barisic and Boyle fluffing their lines, and the big split approaching relentlessly on the horizon.

In the first instalment of our English outreach program, we invite young Yorkshireman James Kettlewell (also known as Jimmy Ketts) on to the pod to share his views on the great game after his first foray in to Scottish football through FFS this year. After explaining a few of the idiosyncrasies of the game - not least the baffling Covid policies and the general standard of officiating - we get in to the meat and bones of the week gone by. From Bruce Anderson's electric start at Hamilton to the end of the honeymoon period for the new managers on the block...it's all covered here.

In the first few seconds of this pod you'll be able to tell, but I can confirm we have now upgraded to the Widget B microphone courtesy of Gear4Music and boy oh boy do we sound crisp. That means you can get the latest Fantasy Football Scotland analysis direct to your headphones or speakers in a unrivalled sonar experience. Unfortunately, the jokes haven't got much better. We unpack another double gameweek drippin' with points and John tries to make sense of Aberdeen's woe.

The January transfer window has closed. Another milestone. We look back on the window and assess the winners and losers from a fantasy perspective; the uncovered diamonds and the proverbial jobbies. It was a gameweek that consisted of no less than 10 games for us to get our teeth stuck in to, with some big scoring across the board, and even more fixtures round the bend. It's the season that just keeps on delivering 📫

If you don't get the reference in our episode title, which rock have you been living under this week? Talking of living under a rock, we have our favourite technophobe on the pod this week - Fapoor's Pingers manager, Finn Thomson 🥃 we get very excited about the up coming fixture frenzy, look back on the Buddies rogering of United, and even manage to discuss the Euros...again.

What's that coming over the hill, it's Double Gameweeks, it's Double Gameweeks 🎶 With fixtures positively coming out of our ears over the coming month or so, we start to think about how best to approach that. We also look back on Yogi having his wicked way with Dons in Dingwall, Honking Hibs turning it around against Killie, and field questions from around the world...quite literally 🌍

We welcome back friend of the pod and Wan Yer Ma manager, Craig Geoghegan, for his unflinching analysis of recent events at Celtic FC and that fateful trip to Dubai. Once he gets that off his chest we dive in to Gameweek 23 and look back some Bobby Madness, Shank's screamer, and the irresistible Livingston of late.

Happy New Year to all of our loyal listeners! 🍻 We kick off 2021 looking back on games from both sides of Hogmanay - another footballing feast stuffed with keeping calamities, Old Firm shenanigans, a trip to Dubai, and some more magic from Martindale.
