Had the idea for a while to do this one with the NB Ammie boys. Perfect timing as they just wrapped up the fist full season together. The time that Finlay, Jack and Hamish take out their days to make sure this team keeps going is nothing short of superb. We chat about what was needed to get the team going, how the idea came about and when they knew it was going to actually work. Some fantastic stories in here even if you aren't a football fan, but if you are and you are into amateur football you...

The first in studio podcast. What a day for it as Jurgen Klopp signed a two year contract extension and we had West Ham and Rangers in the Europa League Semi-Final. Does Pep sign an extension and go toe for toe with Klopp for an extra two years? Is Declan Rice worth 100 million plus and has Gio Van Bronckhorst improved Rangers? Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation. Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Jcannon93

Recorded on Wednesday night during a Benzema masterclass at Stamford Bridge Ali came back to argue his points on Ryan Kent after a heated whats app group debate last week. We compared Kent with the likes of Podence, Saint Maximum and Trossard and asked if he is over or under rated. Could Kent do it in the Premier League? Alongside that we gave our thoughts on the Old Firm game last weekend, has anyone dropped deep and evolved like Harry Kane has (Rooney?) and gave our quick thoughts on Masters w...

International break has finished up with Scotland having played two friendlies against Poland and Austria while the Ukraine qualifier has been postponed. We talked about what we think is Scotland best Xi, is Billy Gilmour still to weak off the ball, who is better Ryan Jack or Callum McGregor and who did you like more prime Berbatov or prime Torres? Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation. Club football is back this weekend. Let the best part of the football season begin...

The final break in the club season before the business end kicks into gear. Our Lowland League specialist and loyal hammer AJ came along for this one and brought his mate Cammy. Originally Cammy did not want to be on camera but you will soon see he steals the show. AJ gave the lowdown on what's been happening with the recent vote in the the Lowland League and what it means moving forward for teams around there and we finish giving our thoughts on how the Europa League and Champions league may fi...

It feels good to be back. Far too long away from doing this but we are officially back. Joined up with the original boys who helped me get started on this in Greg, Scott and Mathew. In the new flat in Leith while the Liverpool vs Arsenal game kicked off we recapped our top 4 and bottom 3 predictions we gave before the season started and there are some shockers in there. In this chat we cover how mental the league has been this season, how United are the most interesting topic in football right n...

The plan was for this to be a summary of the season so far and to go over what we had predicted before the season had started. But how often do things go to plan? Breaking news on the day we were planning to record with Steven Gerrard going to Villa had to take priority and we got the raw emotional thoughts of our very own man Scotty G on how this felt as a Rangers a fan. After that we ended up on a tangent talking about styles and personalities of managers compared to the clubs they are at, how...

Another International break another Podcast. I met up in the heart of Gorgie with Ali, AJ and Granty and we chatted about the lower leagues in Scottish football (Ali currently playing with Haddington and AJ playing with Dunbar) Hearts and Hibs and how fun going Newcastle on the new footy manager is going to be. As always there is some great points made amongst all that especially when we chat about the lower leagues in Scottish football. Until the next one... Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a dri...

Since we last spoke a lot has happened. Kane has stayed at Spurs. Messi left for PSG and ended the Barcelona we all came to love growing up. The Messiah retuned to Old Trafford. Alongisde that we had what in my head is without doubt the worst International break I can ever remember. Is it time for International football to be revamped? Stevie Clarke got a new contract, Billy Gilmour remains Scotland best technical footballer I think the boys and myself have ever seen in our lifetime and weirdly ...

I guess this is our version of a season preview? Discussions on the Scottish League this year and how it could be the most competitive overall since we were kids, and how will Gerrard cope with his team having the target on their back after winning the first league title in 10 years? We split the Premier League in half and discuss what we think could be the bottom ten and top ten in what could be one hell of a season, certainly at the top end. Biggest signing of the summer so far? Messi? Na. It'...

Football will be the bread and butter of this podcast, but I have more interests that I would like to dive into. I had the man behind the WFH Lunch club page Murray West join me for the first podcast on here that is not football related. We chatted about Murrays WHY on starting the page, how we both try and handle social media, what Murrays thoughts are on moving forward with the page now some people are returning to work and how he isn't the Kim K of Instagram. Really enjoyable and refreshing c...

Joining me for this conversation is Cammy Graham who is currently a part time player at Stenhousemuir. Cammy is the first player I have had the chance to speak with, and being 18 I thought he could share his experiencers for other young people in his situation or similar as through his time so far he has been at the likes of Hearts, Dunfermline, St Johnstone and now Stenhousemuir. We chatted about Cammy's timeline and the different experiences he had at each club, and you will see when you liste...

I sat down for a chat yesterday with Hibernian Woman's assistant coach, and owner/partner of 3 vs 2 Soccer Academy Roddy Maughan. We touched on Roddy's journey through playing at the likes of Raith, Arbroath and East Stirling. His coaching so far and his experiences coaching in Spain and Egypt, how the woman's game may be moving forward quicker than the mens game and what Scotland can do to stop chasing other countries ideas on the football front. Huge thanks to Roddy for coming on and having th...

It's all calmed down a little now on the Super League front. The idea has collapsed, everyone in football happy they didn't have what they love stolen from them during the midst of a global pandemic. Thank god. After a few days of taking in the news I have found it very interesting how the conversation has quickly shifted to the fact that we need to do something to get football back on track for the better. Every pundit and fan across the country seems to be in agreement with this. The question ...

Everyone in the football world was shocked by the news that was released last night regarding the creation of a Europen Super League.

It's an unbelievable race for 3rd and 4th in the Premier League this season. You have Leicester, West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs all playing for two spots! Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs are the ones that would be hurt the most by missing out, and for Liverpool and Spurs if you are looking at form it doesn't look good. Can Davey Moyes and the boys pull off the unthinkable? Will a Brendan Rodgers side blow it again? Has Tuchel improved Chelsea enough to secure top 4? Has Mourinho lost his ma...

Some would say this is the podcast that wasn't supposed to happen. After a couple of reschedules and then a couple technical errors during the recording we did finally get it done. Mathew, James and Liam joined me to talk all things United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Basically it was all about ripping into United and James in his England top and asking Liam about the Chelsea "flops" but there is also some good football chat in here. I promise. We touch on how Tuchel looks to have really improved Che...

The community feel to it just brings something special to the place. Having grown up with a lot of family members volunteering in the village to put eve...

We also talk about how the Premier League is currently shaping up in what is turning out to be the most unpredictable season for all the teams bar Man City. Also is Pep Guradiola's football getting boring or is the game lacking the us...

You have to see the world through the kids eyes. This is a great conversation for anyone but particularly if you are wanting to be a coach or know of anyo...
