This is the third time Liam and I have sat down for a conversation, and this one was all about catching up on everything that's changed since we last spoke.

The last time Liam was on the podcast, he was manager at Musselburgh Athletic. Since then, he's no longer in that role and has continued building his football coaching business, Technical Edge.

We talk through that journey, what he's learned from running his own business, the challenges that come with it, how his coaching has evolved, and where he wants to take it next.

Whether you're into football, coaching, or building something of your own, I think there's plenty to take away from this conversation.

Second time sitting down with Declan Fergus. Really good guy and talks so well about the game of football.

We've been waiting for the time to get another sit down and the timing was right after Scotlands World Cup Campaign ended in going home from the group stages with a whimper and Steve Clarke stepping down.

Clarke has been getting a lot of heat and in a way it is justified, but Declan's point of view is that we also need perspective on the players he has at his disposal.

How good are they? Where do Scotland as a football nation go from here and what is our identity?

Football shirts are more than just bits of fabric.

In this episode, I sat down with the man behind First Class Football Shirts to talk about the shirts that shaped our childhoods, the memories attached to them, and why certain kits can instantly transport you back to a different time in your life.

From iconic teams and legendary players to the stories that live behind every shirt, this is a conversation about nostalgia, football culture, and the emotional connection we all have with the game.

If you’ve ever pulled on an old football shirt and been taken straight back to being a kid, this one’s for you.

Football is entering a new era.

Following PSG's Champions League triumph, I started thinking about where the game is heading. From Arsenal and Mikel Arteta's approach to the uncertainty surrounding Liverpool's future, football feels like it's at a turning point.

For years we've known who the elite managers were. Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho, Ancelotti and Conte shaped an entire generation of football.

But who comes next?

Because the truth is, nobody really knows who the next great manager will be.

Scottish football feels like it’s at a crossroads.

In this episode I sit down with Charlie Knox to talk about the opportunity sitting in front of the Scottish game — from supporter culture and media, to streaming, club identity, fan ownership, coaching influences and where the game could go next.

We get into whether Scottish football needs to rethink how it tells its story, why fan culture still gives the game its soul, and why this moment feels bigger than people realise.

Also in this conversation:

• Is Scottish football undersold?
• Does the game need its own version of The Overlap?
• What makes supporter culture worth protecting?
• Why data and systems can never explain everything in football.

Football’s not just a game — it’s spiritual

Wasn't the best game last night was it?Another boring big game that was just a battle of tactics.A missed opportunity for Arsenal to go 8 clear and I think this should their weakness - goals from open play.Gyokeres is their highest scorer in the league with 5 goals.Let that sink in.Enjoy the weekend.

The sacking of Ruben Amorim raises a bigger question than just one decision.

How much control should a football manager actually have?

In this episode, I talk about why managers need real influence — especially over recruitment and squad direction — but also why that control has to be earned through trust, alignment, and results.

It’s a conversation about modern football, accountability, and why so many managers are set up to fail before they’re ever truly backed.

This isn’t about outrage.
It’s about understanding how football is run now — and whether it really works.

What's good team. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Boxing Day. I still have no idea what day it is.

I had a really interesting way of viewing the footy over the last couple days that I haven't had in years.

Working in the pub on the 27th, Hibs v Hearts, Livi v Celtic and Chelsea v Aston Villa were all on but I didn't get to properly sit down and watch them. Which left me going old school and only really seeing the scores at full time.

After checking out social media yesterday and today, I was quite amazed about the different narratives online compared to how I felt just seeing the scores with no other context.

So this is video is about that and mainly focusing in on it between Arsenal and City. There's a deep dive into Peps post match press conference against Forest as I thought it was fascinating. He has evolved. 

Festive fixtures often say more than we expect.

In this episode, I talk through the upcoming games involving Manchester United, Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Hibs and Hearts — focusing on form, pressure, and what these moments might tell us before the ball is kicked.

This isn’t a predictions episode.
It’s a conversation about context, momentum, and why the festive period still matters in shaping a season.

A calm look at festive football and what’s really at stake.

The festive run often tells you more than months of form.

In this episode, I look ahead to the next stretch of games for Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Hearts, and Celtic — and talk through how short runs like this can start to shape title races.

I’m not chasing perfect predictions here.
It’s about reading pressure, momentum, and the moments where teams get the chance to make a real statement — especially with big head-to-head games coming up before the cup breaks.

This is a calm look at what’s next, and why the festive period still matters so much in football.
