Hello and welcome to the Cynic Weekly on Thursday the 24th of October, 24 and the host Barry Galaher.

And as always, I'm joined by Stuart Duggan.

Stuart, how are you?

You feeling good after last night?

I'm absolutely ravenous for this one.

I have rarely looked forward to a Cynic

weekly as much as this, so I'm really looking forward. I want to tuck in like Alan Edgar

into a club sandwich after a difficult European away game. Yes. And making his debut on the

weekly we have Scott Fleming. Scott, how are you, you feeling positive as we are?

Hi, thanks for having me.

Like, I think the last time I was on was the day after Dortmund.

So when I got the call from Gale earlier this week, that I would be on today.

I'm not going to lie, I thought, here we fucking go again.

But this is a real pleasure indeed.

The greatest redemption since Austin Trusted, but we'll get to that.

We'll get straight into our opening question, and so obviously, tonight's pod is obviously

going to feature heavily on last night.

So the opening question, and I'll come to you, Scott, first.

So can last night's defensive performance

become a blueprint for how we set up

in Europe against teams from so-called

bigger leagues?
