Buddie, can you spare a ticket? 55:34

8d ago55:34

55:34

The giddiness from last week was a one-off thanks to an absolutely shambolic performance on Thursday. We don't spend much time on that for obvious reasons. The Killie game gets the usual "one half each" analysis before we move on to some new manager chat, and also raise some questions about our medical and sports science departments. Always remembe…

3d ago1:01:48

1:01:48

It's fair to say it's a more upbeat podcast that in previous weeks. Sunday's game is obviously the main talking point, and we throw our weight behind the outrage at the refereeing performance in the Semi.

With Britain's biggest "Soor face c*nt" fan away in Italy this week we asked Davie Farrell to step in for this week's recording.

What are we worried about? Quite a f*cking lot by the sounds of this episode. Paul is off on his travels, so Davie Farrell joins us this week to discuss Sunday's game and the squad in general.
