And if anything does go wrong technically Just bear in mind that the man pushing the buttons at the back is of course producing.ust no, I am not pushing the button. I thank for that. than I'm directing. E better even better. What could possibly go wrong? go wrong Exactly. It are shambles. So yeah, that's it that's coming Wednesday night in Glasgow. No tickets are left unfortunately. so you can't Unless you so good. Very fast. Iold it in twenty four hours. Yeah So you're very popular, Gordon. No I don't think I was the main reason behind that. It's no you yeah, that's fair. Yeah. I'm very popular. And Stehven, I think they're along as see boy. told people that Stehven's going. I know, Eactly. And Big Marv'll be there. Well ye reason I'm not the reason I'm hosting is Gordon Duncan is unavailable. He's currently away with the Scotland squad.'ry for someay? Allright for some. Yeah. Did you see that plane as well Berllion inside it? Why was it Iceland air? I don't know. I was wondering that as well. So don they must have done a deal with Iceland there. Surely Loganir, I mean, I don't know if Loganir will go that could too. I mean they finally got twelve sh. Exactly. Hi. A propeller plane. It looked like we get a luggage j. It looked like the inside of the plane was all business class. B didn' it Yeah. did look good. Joump pointed the like as all on Instagram and like the Scottish National team stories and stuff like that looked like. S they were all point Uno Yeah, I'm not an Uo fan. You know, I no fan. I don't even know I mean you ever play Uo on holiday, don't you? You're like you sit out in the balcony, you get the uno, you play it with the family, but I was like I play cards What was your game? A game Qeen? No, a game called Seventy Diamonds. rightight? Is that like Black five? No, no, no, No five is different. So seventy Diamonds is, right? So say the three uss were playing would deal out all the cards. Yeah Whoever's got the seventy diamonds starts. so you put the seventy dionds down just so you get it. R. And then you just go around in a circle And you if it's a seven diamonds, you can either play the eighty Diamonds of the Sxy Diamonds, right or another seven Right? Okay, got it. So you can change. So so the idea is to get rid of all your card. The first person they get rid of all your cards. It's only the neighbors you can put your Only the neighbors or or the it's just the neighbourors or a seven. Right. So Okay And this is the most annoying thing in the world because when somebody tries to explain a card game to you, it always sounds shy It's just the rules. And no matter what the card game is, if you try and explain it to someone they're like, Thats. And then if you do it, you're like, oh actually this is quite a good game. Right. Okaykay. So you go seven in the diamonders, Yeah, right? And then let's say you go down the way, right? six, five four is higher low Ace is low. rightight? okay on someomeone then trumps it to another You only can only play one card at a time. Right, Another sweet Yeah, sorry. How do you get back to the eighty dimes Well, you can play you can just play whatever's on the t so you can get an eight Yeah and then just play a eight. Okay. Soee I mean, as I say this sounds shy, but it's actually if anyone else out there was a Svenenty Diamonds fan, it iss a great game. So' great. Okay. great. If you're going on holiday, research Svenenty Diamonds and give it a go because it is really good as. John, bring the cards in Wednesday before we go on stage have bim me seventy dags. We'll do that. We'll do that. we good. But the only thing is You you can't sort of like deceive So if you've got a card and even though you don't want to play it The whole point is to hold onto cards and other people up and stuff you've got to play it. you've got it. If you've got it and that's the only card you can play, you have to play it. Right? Okay. So otherwise the game doesn't work.. Anyway let's stop explaining card games because as I say it always makes them sound really shy. Let's get to some of your chats here last week then Richard Allen, a free McDonald's and I bet that miserable sod didn't even tip the driver Right, here's a question for you Do you The guy Every time he comes me anybody or or anything that? I'll just add a couple of cadona But you don't tip him at the I know personally I know. No, because because I got his cash. I did Yeah. well, I've you can Yeah. But I've got a I've got a thing saying, right, okay, do you tip them or do you not tip them And I've got to sh right I I love this this is my favorite bit, right. See when my buzzer goes now I stay Top top door. Okay, right. How many floors up Three, Okay. forty five steps. The penthouse sweet. forty five, right And I sit and I just look out my people And I can hear the get to maybe the shting landed and the amount of fuck shake. I could honestly buy a new house the amount of times I've heard that, right? And so you're just standing behind the door like Yeah. just watch in them. Yeah. Right. And then when you open the door, do you know the own way? and there's a few out there that ro don't look after herself, let's see.ight. And you could actually see the sweat and they're looking and thinking of. And then you don't give them a tap after that You know, that's why I feel terrible. Yeah., I mean you should feel terrible for those person's McDonald's as. Well, it was actuallykay. Right, what was going. Years ago my boy was in the garden and strode into the living room with a McDonald's. We were like, Where the fuck did you get that from? The Just eat guy gave him it. So naturally I ate it. twentyenty minutes later, I'm in the garden and he comes back. the second time I told him He's at the wrong address. I'm with a dazzler it's not stealing. It's someone gifting you free food. Exactly. I think I think you're very much in the met. You're not stealing. You're not stealing. You're not going out there deliberate. Someed is tabing your door and handing you food and it smells nice. You're hungry at the time. Mate, you just close your door and Bert Reynolds, ninety five. Not sure if it's D. Bartt is Bt Reynolds still alive? No No I passed away go. Anyway, on a similar story to Gordon's about stealing a takeaway, I was collecting my orders from Dominoess and a guy two in front of me said collollection for Stehven. and he walks away with two piezces and I thought he's got the same as me. I get up and say collollection for Steven And after a bit of time he showed him my collection number and he says, I think someone else took your pizza. So he actually he witnessed he witnessed a theft in of. But you used to do that and people will guarantee right. I was a big fan of the Hamilton Palace in Hamilton, right? Okay. That's where everybody went for a night out Saturday night The minute you come out you're get to the pizza shop and I had my best pal who is and we got away with us brilliantly right My best partal was a female, right? Paul. We went everywhere. She had a big football fan. she was just guaranteed when I went out of the boys, Paulin would always been there. She was just part of the circle And she was dynam thiss right. So you would stand there and the guy would be mobbed. And the guy would come up and say, cheese and tomato, pizza and chips and she would go, Yeah, that's me, takeake it, right And then we would sneak at this up. So this is this has been years, years and years and years. You've been because nobody ever questions the female, right Think of it, that Nope's gott to go. Excuse me h. You here that's your pizza, right? She it. She was so confident and Nope never went. You know, So this went on this went on for years. this Every shatday night, we do. Every Saturday night, rightight? We just got and go, right? You So you've been stealing other people's food decades Deal. She was the thief. I You were an accomplice. You were an accom. I was a driver. I was only I ate a bit of pizza. You were accessorory to the thing. Mate she was dynam at it right. And we'd go the next week and'd be walking out the dancing and going like that What you think we'll go for the e How be about Picora and a pizza rightah? Picora and a pizza That's and you go right? So she was getting caught. I'm at the door. I'm halfway at the door anyway. That' bad form, that bad form. Tobby Wby says, Dad's the hamburgler. So there you are, right. Let's chab it cold meat Last week as well. Yeah. Andy's saying chopp pork and corned beef would have a square go. somethingomething I never thought I'd hear on a podcast, but Daz, you've ruined the chopped pork by adding brown sauce. I like brown sauce? I put brown sauce in my plain Kris. Do you do that No, I don't. but I'm familiar with people. Yeah up at Brown. Ryan McDee says topop three cold meats peppered top sed beef. Yeah. salami. and nice slice of ham. None of which will ever see a slice of bread Gubbed out the fridge like Tony Soprano. E him for the packet I that, I did that. Right, O chat as well, Jack B. I got the bus from Falkart to Sallou in Spain one time because I went with my mate and his family and they were scared of flying So this is off the back of D of Gabbs getting his bus down to London. Imagine get a bus from Falkourt to Talu Jesus Kell. How did that take H days That's like two days. Wh would your head then't Dover.. And then once you got once you got to France, it's a pretty in the road. M. Yeah. Craig Cunningham, Stehven is Bang on with City Airport, alsoso with BA. you get an alcoholic drink and a snack included versus any other airport in London, you got a bottle water. Very true. you get a free bevy ight I've won Well, you can ask for a couple in the. nd it's the flights on that hour. So it's not like you're getting tanked up on the flight. Yeah, but do you know what I d test and you see it all the time, females do this all the time, right? See if you get a function And there's Pseo. yeah And it's one glass per person. Yeah. And they go I take I take two you grab a couple. Youd prefer your females class, you like folk who still on Noways. No, no, I just I don't I don't see you don't want to you don't want people double part. Yeah, take, take four Yeah, you know, I mean, you take to I'll take to That'll be me. I'll just drink that. I don't like that. Okay fair enough. Simon McQeenie also says, can I just say congratulations to the Pis and Steven on wning the Webeat Folkhirk in the semifinal trophy? Thank you very much. a trophy. a trophy that Folkhark did not w because they actually lost in the semifinal if you remember Right. hereere's what's been happening this week in football Cashers Michael has retired to the surprise of absolutely no one. He retired midway through last season but it looks it. Brad Lyons, Louis Mill and Alexander Beidell join Aberdeen Yeah, they're moving quickly here. Decent sign ins, wouldould you make it that? I I've know a Scottish game, obviously. Carock and Yeah, it'd be interesting to see. I think Aberdeen need a big season, don't they? They need to be they need to be up there is these the type of players that are taking them to the top s? Yeah Stephen Robinon knows them. He'll know all about them, what they bring. I think they lost their identitybe but for me, Iber they really did and I think he's trying to get it back Only timeot tell, but at least he's making a positive move in the transfer market. They have lost Graham Shinney because he has joined in Vverness and Dylan Tate has joined at Dundyee United. Thoughts on that, John. what are you thinking yeah, it doesn't surprise him he's out a contract. He's been offered the contract. He's been sitting on the table for months and months and we've got Craig Sibils coming the other way and if you would give me I think D one's been a great player invincible back to back champion, but if you were to Give me opportunity of p between picking Dalentay and Craig settled in midfield I would pick Creek civil p would say s You would say that now, John. You would say that. Yeah. Well I would no no, no, I don't think I would. I don't I thinkally If I asked you six months ago, you would not have said that. I would have. No, you wouldn't. I would have. I to't agree with you. Steve. I think he would have said six months. N so great D in tea. That one's great I went for a co. stillill in tea Yeah I know it's Dylan Tate Wh did you say what? Dylan G? I said Dylan Tate. I think said Dylan G. Yes, Dylan G. was he was Dylan was D. He was, but now he's left you preer prefer Sbal would prefer forty six year old Greig Sibbald and M or whatever. spoke of boy T through Is well So.ight the League cup draw has been made as well, by the way The Lue ofv Good up stages. h no interest for me whatsoever I cannot bring myself to be in any way, shape or form, exclud you go I Who have we got? St. Merin, Cold Rangers, Eco Bride Dunbourne Deficult I mean, We should be finishing second at least. So Who Folkard go as well. Folkard probably got like fucking some sort on it Gros AO St Ebise. So yeah, just the two We were the top seats in the draw. Just the twoental sides that you've got in there. So I there we are. I just can't bring myself to be excited about any I think it's shite I think the League Cupraw, I think the Leue Cupp stages are shight. Yeah If you get to the final, you'll be excited. You'll be delighted with them. Yeah, but I'd rather it just be a knockout competition. D I used to be Dant. but I like teams now treat it like part of preseason games. Exactly. it's pointless. Yeah, I it's only pointless if you get knocked out, Y meet your money, first and foremost And if you can get through your group stage, then Who knows? Yeah. Right. Okay, so that starts probably soon, to be honest with you, so let's move on to the weekend and it was only one game, obviously. it was Scotland for. Curisow one, Laurence Shanklin getting a double both crack and finishes Finley Curtis getting his first goal for Scotland and Ran Christy scoring for the penalty spad, but it was Curisow who took the lead I don't know how much of the game you saw at the weekend does, but what did you make of the Scotland performance? It was always going to be difficult wnter. they obviously lost the The goal ear lower, terrific goal, you've got to say, but what is what's all thinking about G yourself center? I mean, what is What is he thinking about? you need to sit him down and say, listen, what you actually doing here? They were actually quite physical. Yeah. like looked all right. They were putting themselves about. So curious out beat Haiti five one and qualifying rightight. So curis out like I think I've got the heard the boy is a genenior Bicano, the guy who's at Rangers only made six or seven appeance. He was the one who injured Billy Gilmore by the way. Yeah. That was that was the challenge that injured them. M see bonus right I don't think they're beating them for one if they go eving No. I'm actually a little bit disappointed they went down to ten men because it waste the game. I It waste the game. And I think you think do you think the goalkeeper for Finl the Curtis' goalals just getting up just now S this the goal purose neg great see this he for Shanklin's first goal, he can of flap Yeah. I' no I'm not taking away for the boy, but I went for the boy. I was delighted to see getting a goal especially Harmed in and the build up to the World Cup, but Gee, what is honestly, I would I would have taken him off, tak these gloves off him and just sent him up the road. He would not havei back in the team bus for me. I've never seen a goalkeper that in my life Yeah, that was poor. That was terrible Mate. That was poor. Listen. I think CUSO will get absolutely pumped at the World Cup. That's what my production is. Right Okay. They've got Germany, Ivory Coast and Ecuador in another group and I think They played German in the opening game and I think Germany could do a number on them quite incerably. because they also I thought they started pretty well and then obviously they tired. they've only got ten men, but I think that anyway, like I don't really care about it So in terms of Scotland Positives, Laord in Shanklland. obviously one hundred percent He he has to start against Haiti. I think there's no doubt about it. That' cemented it, doesn't it? Yeah. Because even if even if Steie Klart's thinking No, I'm sticking me what Gat is here. I know where my center forwarders are, She Adams, maybe Dykes and people like that. Hers, for instance. I don't think he would even getting that game without Stanchhan In terms of who he starts alongside, I don't think it' be George Hurst. I wasn't particularly impressed by him on Surday and he's forty five minutes. I actually thought Shanklland and Dykes combined quite well. Shanklland was quiet in the first half and then the second half, but that's the thing and I know we've been seing this for ages about Shankland. It's not just the fact he scores what he goes. He's all round playing now is so much better than it used to be. He's terrifing. He's a very intelligent player. The only thing I would say about Shanklland, I think he gives you a little bit of problems. Now you can agree or disagree with this I think Sankland at his best is when he's partnering someone off front Yeah but there's other side of the game that probably isn't as good at. If you look at hearts this season, But I got and shank them but I would partner set You look at them at the weekend, they' two oct top two goals intelligent play sometometimes he comes a little bit too deep for me. I know he can play that role and I think with his season at Hearts before Db at McCishemment and I think he scored about eight goals or something, right? He had a pored poor season And it was because he was coming deeper and deeper and deeper and he was asked to play that role. There's no doubt but for me, Shanklins, that painly boallx player I think he's brilliant. He comes alive, he can read the situation movement Yeah, everything. So as much as yet, I do like him coming and linking up with the middlely part, I think that's a big part of it. I just like him in that book. I like him saying R and go get which. You like him up alongside somebody. However, that's going to cause a problem, correct because r that team and Saturday. I think obviously Mcgh and McDomy comes straight back and they are Dt think were one hundred percent starts And I think probably Ferguson comes back in as well Yeah, obbviously Gilmore had been missing. And Gilmore's missing so I think that even increases the chances of Ferguson playing. But Ferguson started a lot of the games during the qualifiers as well. Tisty, I think I'd really like Christie. I think he's a really good player. He dropped into the middle when Gilmore got taken off and they put the Ctis out wide. but then the second half they put Christie out wide again. He's going to need to drop one of them though If he wants to play too Kny McLlean as well. And Kenny McLean. whoo he likes Yeah. And I know Keny McCLan gets a lot of you know before the the halfway ling goal and stuff like that Keny McLan gets a lot of hassle. But I actually I quite like Kenny McLan. I think he holds I think he's he's good at getting on the ball And I don't think we've got a lot of players that do that. However He's not I don't think he's going to play too up front. I don't I don't think again. I think you get' good He's going have to play again And you've got dog. Yeah. You'll be a p up front against the Haitie, you know? whoo's going to drop He like who's gonna to drop in? I think I think it would leave Christo. Or he would leave Feris in it. I think that's one of the two. D you drop McTomy back in midfield, deeper in M midfield? No, no. I think he could play he could play McTomy McGinn and I think he loves Kenny McLan Yeah I know. He loves Kenny McLeann. I like Ken Mcleay, I think's a player,. Well is he better than leaving Lake say Bis Fergus soon? No, he's not. Ran Christy. He has a different I would much rather just play Christy Deper. Christy plays deep theidfield for Bournouth. I don't know why he doesn't. And I'm there. I know, I can play that. I love Christy's energy as well It's a good headache to have, han't it? It is And you're talking about If he goes we an attacking team and he plays two up top Youve got to get service to these two up top. So Ben Gun and Dk will probably play off the right McGinn will play off the left. McGinn will play off the left. Mc Toman will play in behind And it's just two fites I think that's Ferguson then. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's probably Ferguson and leave out Christy and You mind my clean M clean it's a good headache to have. but look, in terms of the back four, the back four that started and the goalkeeper. So it was Gordon that obviously started and then it was Hickey S on McKenall Robertson, is like you're back five. Where do you fit here there? Well, that's the thing De me fan I know it's a big decision. and I think Terney's been excellent this season. I think I think particularly for the first game He could probably get away with playing Tier A as the left center half. Play three play three by game That's then you're changing a lot Yeah to f turn the in Yeah U And let's be honest, I know that a lot of people will say I bit he always comes off and tearing these numbers have been good This is really good M See if you look at Ternight's been excellent and I think he get stronger as the season went on Um And you're thinking I' be that good that we can leave A teerly on the bench. You know what I mean? It's going to be a difficult one for man. He's get some really good headaches to have. see for the first time in a long time We've got a lot of good choices You'll not listen, he'll not satisfy everybody because the minute he puts out Satin eleven out for a first game. peopleeople are knowan well fuck all day long day long. It will be. I hardlyould you play Craig Gordon goes? one hundred percent. Okay. I think he's a best goalkeeper where he's not played Hc and Robertson are stuck on He's presuming Hc he's fat because he's another one that gets injered all the time. Who's just sent our house I think that John Sruter hass not played a lot of football rangers been left out, but I think his best games are in Scotland Jersey Bonest me Alex Sitar at times Mcenna gives you that nice balance, gives you the pace gives you the strength, nice user of the ball as well I would probably go over the shot of Mcenna. Whaty way that go on Saturday though does? I mean, you could read a mile off that the boy was cutting inside every single day of the week Mee if you watch your back though, Mcenna gets blocked. Right? Mcenna does get blocked and I think it was clever play from Curus out, but if anF sees that it probably gives a f Yeah, yeah Miss McKenna gets blocked off. So what you saying, John, you got to play tear me in there and drop put who? Henry had put Henry alongside McKenna. Yeah, that's he's got a bit of pace about him as well. Andre's good with the ball as well. Yeah. Yeah. I just I just think sitters I think he's decent when it comes to Scotland. Although'm too I'm not too great I' too sure about when he playing Mar Rangers Yeah. It looks like a mistake writting all over M times. But if he plays that right center half position we also overlooking the fact that Grant Anley has been an absolute mainstay in Steve Clark's teams. They played the second half on Saturday And Han play. Dominic Hm came on And they're right what to do.ly or no play Andley's gone there. Hley's gone there because I think Steve Clark realizes he' little bit of experience here. I can count on him at times. I don't think if it backs against the I don't think Hanley will start. I mean, Hanley Hanley started the Denmark game. I know, but I don't think he'll start over it I just I've got feeling he wants that because is's good because if he's going to get tearing in the squad, he's either got a back to three, right and play T his left center back and shove Robertson on his a wing back hking down the other side. So you can you can go a three, five two, can't you Yeah, you can go be your your Y midfield, the strongest part your midfield. which would be Mcain Ferguson and McTomy. Yeah And obviously you're too up top. then But then there's no doke. then a doke, there's no doke. there's no Christy. Yeah. Yeah. It's going be interesting to see what he's forced to li is. And obviously one person who won't be there, sadly is Billy Gilmore I mean, absolutely gutted for him. like you must that's just the worst thing in the world. I would see me, I was thinking this, right add a blifter Ada just went I's about short Just take me in the plane anyway. I want to play card. Take me in the plane. You're saying My m told me a game called Senty Diamonds. I were playing the seventy Diamonds. I would have said, yeah, it's a bit sore. We'll see how it is the next day a I thinkle bard aint acott the days my the think mean surely that went through his head. Like surelyy's probably He's probably had a scan or been assessed or whatever and they' been like a your knee knacker. We don't actually know what it is. but it's enough to keep him at the World Cups. Well, he goes down and he brings to the bench st rightight away, doesn't he The good thing is He's only twenty four and he will play at other major tournaments for Scotland. so Hopefully Yeah, it's massive. Ttally yeah. I mean I can't begin to imagine how and I knowucking devastated you would be. And I know the family from the Germany trip on the plane that day. My fatal mistake when I asked Billy Gilmore's dad if he had tickets for any of the games. And he was a doubly Billy Gilmore and he had Gilmore in their Scoting trip, right So that was and they'll all been geared up to go to the Wld Cup. Yeah. do you know something s them And they've got another they've got another friendly coming up as well, right what do you do? because fuck I wouldn't be played. I wouldn't be played But that's the thing but you need to youll need to give players like Mgan McTomy probably forty five minutes just to keep from ticaking over I know McGainn's officice had a busy end to the season with the Europa League and all the rest it. So he it'll be reing to go, but they will still need to keep them It's like an over. I know, I know, but you would be saying look don't get any foolish tacles and sometimes that's worse as a player. Yeah. I remember I remember playing the week prior to Ob ed Celtic in the Le cup final And I swear I think I played as like subbming up. I played w. I played wide right. Right kept shooting man on, man on show no dude pass a ball to me because I thought I'm not getting injured. That's my and it plays in your head, man. it plays in your head especially after seeing what's happened to Gilmore. Yeah, right Players will be thinking get the game over So you get injured in the tournament Yeah, completely different. Of course Yeah, because that can happen You're going through pel Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But to get injured when that plane You you're all geared. yourour heads already and jumping that plane to this Sunday and going to America with your mates. You know what I mean for a World Cup, fantastic never been there the guy. He would have been so excited. his family will all have made arrangements, everything. And for that sicker just that split moment it's a killer for him. The other three people that I feel heart sorry for are Lonard Barron. I'm try Lenon Miller, right and Andy Irving because they were the three guys in standby and Obviously, Billy Gilore pulls out. Tyler Fletcher came on Saturday Now Tylas Fletcher was on the, C come on. Let' shot over See list a minute, you tell me? No, come on R. I don't know much about the boy, right? Beuse he's played two games for Manchester.een minutes. Sventeen minutes, rightight. Now, what would say when he came on Saturday, I thought he He didn't out he place. No, he coming on against fucking ten men as well Imon. so look, I'm, I don't want to deny the boy. I really don't. Hopefully it'll be brilliant for his. I'm delighted for him His father must be a proud, proud father But if you're one of the other three You spoon and you love it off Leennon Miller finis his right? And I know he's not playing he's not playing a lot of football, right? But he's been in the squads, right? Irvin's been in the squads as well and who's other one, sorry? Conor Baron. Connner Baron. Connor Barns was in the he was in the squads for the Denmark game and stuff like that. And yeah. You see a guy that's All of a sudden just broght up probablyably never be going a million years And he jumps secure. And and I sound of you bit sound a you bit better against a boy. I'm not. I'm delighted for a boy, right? What an opportunity brilliant for him and great I' more got it for the other three because I've trying to put myself in the position of the three. I mean, you'd be furing. you'd be absolutely furing. I would I would be Steve Clart wouldn't have gotten that plane. I'd have had a r go, Steve Clt I would have been absolutely sick Thinking How does this guy all of a sudden come from nowhere? It' hardly played seventeen minutes of football And he jumps a queue over the three of us Hey If I was one of day three and trying to get picked from day three, I would go Right? Okaykay, still feel noby, but Yeah, but you could you could accept that a lot more because because there's a case. Yeah. There's a case for the arguments there from the manager. the manager can go well. The reason I'mking because he was in the last squad. this is what he gives me and he was on stand by He was on stand by this myid field player I'm looking for. But just ate frog No,m I don't know. I really I don't like going a negative here. He's dad had only made two Manchester night appearances when he made his Scotland debut. Back in the day. Yeah, but what's that? Inde, No, no, what I'm seeing is Clark has previous of takaking doke or he was going to take doke to the last event and he got injured, but he took Gilmore to the Euros when he was really playing at, Chelsea. So he does a previous of just plucking young players and putting them in the squad. Yeah, listen, he's already done that with Find the Carter,n't he? Yeahep. You know what mean He's coming from nowhere? Yeah, exactly. You would never imagine Finl the Cutters would if you had have said in say November, December, Oh, by the way, see the World Cup squad, Fin the Cters been it you'd be go. I was absolutely not a chance. I was saying that a lot on in the season Like Fally C it should be a Rangers and should be playing every week for Rangers C inststead they sound boys like Antman and st like that who were absolutely pash. And then you've got Fily Curtis there who's already a better player, but anyway, that's a story for our time I I agree. like I think it's really, really rotten on the threeree boys. Right? Okay, I'm not going to put the theories out there, right? the conspiracy theories, right You't say it do his' done I'll just wasash that out to you. Jenkers in and do the fact he st start Aron Fletch. Yeah. ye. He's does starving Fletcher. Right. that's the reason he's in the squad. I don't think that's the reason he's in the squad. I do think this helps. Listen, if you're I know he was at Man City like he's a youth player. he's now for about a million or something. Then he's at Man five or something. So. and as I say, on Saturday, I was quite impressed. Hankey moves well across the pitch. Hany reads the game well. decent footballer and I think he's obviously They think he's going to be the future Sam's brother who still plays for England, but was at the game Unsolvedy. So I don't know if that's a wee bit to do but as well to put some pressure on these brother who's also meant to be a very good player So I don't know if there's a bit of that at play as well. Getting them tied up basically before before Englland can swooip in. Do know what I think though is there's a bit in it that you know, like you have a spare ticket for a gig right and your mate calls off at the last minute. And you're like you're stuck in the pub and you're like with the mate that you know, you'reght eat with, but like you's just kicking a boot And's just like, o, cant it be ared forone not pay anyone in the other hsle Do you want to just come me to the gike There's than that tick your shame is going to the world go It's quite the same than If can't actually jumping a plane in the morning Im gonna come in. Yeah do I come along just for I think probably probably a better comparison as if you had a ticket for a gig and you'd said to three year mates, listen if anyone pulls out one a user will get the tacket and then you've just packed somethingbody completely different Like that that's probably you've just met the you've just met in the pub. Yeahah, believe well put the fuckks out in the here. So yeah, I feel really sorry for this you guys S. And again, nothing against Tyler Fletcher. I was impressed when when he came on Saturday And hopefully he can do a job and yeah, hopefully he'll go on to be our if you don't want to go neg to flip switch the boy all the bit. Yeah, absolutely. and obviously I feel very sorry for Billy Gilmore as well. But that is it. Scotland on off to America they play Bolivia next Saturday night a nine PM kickoff UK time next Saturday night. So yeah, that was it in terms of football Hey let's get to some VR decisions, shall we Lacanta Estamiloc. So I was a bit surprised they actually had VR on Saturday. I didn't think they would they would bother, but obviously it must be a sort of minimum. they have to have it. Anyway, just as well we did because your man gets sent off for smmashing Aron Hickey in the face and one of the most ludicrouscendants off I've ever seen in my life. I think he was still complaining about it he stood on his foot. Yeah, and I'm like, Yeahah, but it was like that, you know forearms. You know in the Rocky films when he gets punched and his jaw suddenly moves to the site. Yeah That's what happened to Aron Hickkey. There's one of the angles and his jaw just moves like up here and I' been absolutely knocked. he miss The opening in the Borle Cup I think he does I mean, he does you if you're the advocate you're like What you think? I wouldn't even bring him. I would be having the conversation absolutely. You th about James McFadden saying she should have just went over to the referee and should just let him play on or just take him off. Do you know what I mean? and got a sub on. Yeah John, do you know something That did used to happen, right? Yeah. I You would I was a manager as well. and You would the refer you would be maybe run by you and say, listen, get him off the pitch because he's got to got right car and they would give you a heads up. And because they I know what Dick Avocat and all is talking about because it's It's a fly but The ref gave the referee actually a choice. I thought the referee was actually really good on Saturday. It was actually. I thought it had a good game. We slag off referees all the time, but the referee from Georgia on Saturday G that game. K she. Yeah. There wass also Finley Curtis getting his penalty It was soft. It wasn't It wasn't a lot of contact I didn't think. but it was a penalty. It was a penalty. yeah yeah. And it was one of those ones he gave and he was never going to overt Yeah But there wasn't a lot of contact I didn't think, but yeah so yeah I thought that'd hadard a pretty good Gly. So there yeah. Right let's move on and we've got some reviews to do. Daz love reviews. so Everyone too who has ever owned a guitar. And a Scotland strip is doing a World Cup so So in the build upp to the tournament, we thought we would get Gordundy out to run the rule over some of the releases and score them out of ten.

Fer js says What's something that should be illegal and isn't and something that is illegal that should be legal Oh, what's a cracker in it What is something that's illegal and that should be illegal, but isn't and something that is illegal, that should be legal. Lgal and as in Yeah I don't even see what I was thinking there I can only imagine. No, I was got to say smoking weed. I don't know why because I don't smoke. Yeah. smoking weed is not illegal. Is it not like is it not illegal in Scotland? I think is it not buying or selling is the illegal part? Is it? I think to actually smoke it, I don't think is It's legal in a lot countries and it's leg in a. But it's legal to buy in a lot of countries. But the thing is now, if they invent a drunink today. It'd probably be illegal ' drink is obviously the worst In any ways the worst kind of drun. I gonna be both of in. W you Gs a clue. Come on help me. I think g's a clue. I don't know, like fucking J walking wouldould you think it should be illegal?

Yeah. was that is illegal does. But you think that you think that should be legal. I think you fucking nailed us head. I totally agree with you. That right, you should not be charged forty p for a bag. Okay. I mean again, that's not the legal bit the legal bit is you stealing them. Yeah. Do you know the problem I've now got is I feel like the eyes in the world are on me now and I've got to pay. I've sort of made an ar say that. Yeah. I should never have brought that up. Yeah, bags.
