Hope we're not intruding guys, but we just wanted to say our latest Championship column (out every Monday morning) was on Raith Rovers' tactics and how they've really taken the league by surprise. We all ran an interview with Dylan Tait (and John McGlynn) last month too, which may be of some interest!

Hello, On the latest podcast we kicked off our run down of the top 25 players under the age of 25 in the Scottish Premiership. Why? Well, it doesn’t look like there will be too much football any time soon and everyone loves a list of exciting players. Scottish football may not be the biggest or brightest league in the magical world of football but it certainly has more than enough young and exciting players to keep us entertained. To give every player their fare share of attention we're taking our time with this and in part one we run through No.25 to No.21. The next part will be out in a few days. Android iTunes Spotify

Hey guys, On this week's podcast we decided to tackle the topic of league reconstruction within the SPFL. We had a look at expanding the Scottish Premiership to include a number of Championship sides (while keeping Hearts in the top-flight) and discussed whether that would solve anything in the long-term. We looked at whether the SPFL would be willing to stand up to broadcasters and offer alternatives to the OF-driven narrative that TV companies desire and what those alternatives could look like. We then discussed the concept of the league pyramid as a whole and what could be done to help teams in the lower divisions. Then we finished up with alternative ideas for the cup competitions. Celtic and Rangers starting in the first round? Bigger clubs forced to play away in the first few rounds? Maybe we should just bin the League Cup entirely? Android iTunes Spotify We hope you enjoy.

Hey guys, Just jumping in to say we have a new podcast out this week looking at Hearts under Daniel Stendel and whether or not they're showing enough progress to avoid relegation. We had a look at the improvements made over the last month or so, the Tynecastle's club's record against bottom six sides and why that may be vital in the split and previewed tonight's vital clash against St Mirren.

Hey, we're three seperate guys so we don't tend to think as one, single unit. It's a great topic and we'd love to do a proper podcast on it one day.

Hey guys, Our latest podcast is on how Hibs have changed and quite possibly improved under Jack Ross. We had a look at Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat to Hearts and why Ross' tactics seemed to play directly in to Daniel Stendel's plan. We also discussed how Ross has had to make big changes to the team he inherited from Paul Heckingbottom and whether or not they are moving forwards or backwards. Enjoy! You can listen to the podcast on Android, iTunes or Spotify.

Yeah, it's a shame that praising managers at smalller clubs seems to inevitably turn in to what they could do at bigger clubs but it's always intended as a compliment. In a round about way it would be nice if the bigger clubs (Hearts for example) had more trust or belief in the Scottish-based coaches, but at the same time you don't want someone like Holt and/or Martindale to be pulled out of a good thing and dropped in to a nightmare like Tynecastle these days. Agree with you about Martindale: he seems perfectly happy at the club and although I wouldn't want to underplay what Holt does it does seem like he doesn't get nearly as much praise for things as high up as tactics and training with the first team. If you're looking for further reading you could check out James' article on the Herald website, suggesting Livi may be the best-run club in Scotland right here.

Yeah, we certainly use stats to help us fill in the blanks because it's simply impossible to watch every game every weekend. Two of the three of us do cover games every weekend (a lot of them are St Johnstone games believe it or not), although James is usually at a Championship match. So we do what we can with highlights, stats and match footage from websites like WyScout, etc.

Glad you liked it for the most part. We've found the stats stuff to be a real balancing act because we like to use the numbers to make our points (since nobody really cares about our unfettered opinions) but we do try and make an effort to explain some of the terms when we use them. There's nothing that irrates us more than the analytics crowd on Twitter spouting off terminology without explaining it properly. Otherwise it's just boring.

It's perfectly fine for RandomGuy to have an issue with an article highlighting (note: not making up or lying about) St Johnstone's dreadful run of form at McDiarmid Park against Rangers and noting that the headline is wrong. It's another thing for him to come in here and use it as proof that our podcast panders to Celtic and Rangers and doesn't care about smaller clubs. We simply don't accept that because our list of episodes shows that we make a proper effort - potentially more than just about any other podcast - of giving just about every team in the Premiership a proper episode. It's not a case of being smug or argumentative. We're simply standing up for ourselves.

Ooft that’s from quite a while ago! Can’t say off the top of my head what was said in that podcast but happy to take any feedback on board about the most recent one.

Scotzine was a hack that didn’t have the content to back up his claims. We’re the completely opposite of that website. Happy to have hearty debates about the podcast episodes - in fact it’s entirely the point of this thread - but we’re not here to argue about headlines on the BBC website.

Well we've had two St Johnstone fan groups on Twitter share the podcast and plenty of fans tell us they enjoyed it so we think we've done a decent job of it. We're not on here to pick fights with anyone, so if you're not interested in actually listening to the episode then we'll just say fair enough and wish you a good day

We have no advertising on our podcasts and we'd challenge you to find a more thorough and passionate 30 minutes of audio about your club from any other podcast this season. Professional or amateur. Give the show 10 minutes and see if you like it. If not then that's fine. No harm done and have a nice day.

We're not looking for customers. Just thought some folk might want to hear a few podcasts about Scottish football. No need to be so sensitive. If you're this upset about an article pointing out how poor St Johnstone were in the past then you'll be delighted to hear about how great they've been in their last 18 games in our last podcast.
