Summary
The most petty and ill informed podcast available. Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove skewer the weekend's Scottish football in the company of writer Kevan Christie, comedienne Jojo Sutherland and Arbroath midfielder Ryan Flynn. Why did we have to put a restraining order on Lorraine Kelly? What will we never see again in Scottish football? To be Frank, Which fictional bar would you like to have a drink in? And what did Ryan Flynn do to Kenny Dalglish with toothpaste? All this plus the Terracing Teaser, the Cricket XI and a text message from the Rangers manager.
