Highland Bullpen

Gives you the motivation to spend a weekend on the lash...

Was that the last final without tickets in advance of the game?

Hand Ball

Yes, is there a point at which we sort of wish that hadn't happened though?!!

Surprising we can't get decent referees on the pitch then! The Gavin Gunning one is the one we'd all want to do!

oh, I'd forgot about the Meekings one! Good shout!

I assumed there were a lot of referees on here?

We're looking to get a podcast out on top 5 handballs, for whatever reason - there are a few, what would make your list? That's assuming anyone on here understands the rules.

I love the fact County get slaughtered for taking about 150 fans to most away games (they do this every second week) which actually is a bigger number than pretty much all other than the "big 6" teams take twice a year up to Dingwall (it's the same distance just in reverse)

Whether it's a stereotype or not but my phone pings most often when Partick are beating Ross County, it really doesn't happen with any other team. Anyone else experience this?

So what happens next? Wins against the teams around us and safety or struggling in the six pointers? Come on the Staggies, great win yesterday!

Sadly starting to remind me of Rossiter, another young Scouser, who went to Rangers but suffered a couple of long term injuries. There's great potential in Tom though and hoping it's just bad luck at this point

May have been mentioned before but The Athletic did a sensible article pointing out why GB as the sole hosts makes sense. Worth reading.

Always manage a decent turnout, irrespective of opponents or weather!

Always good to beat World Champions...

Some decent players in the current team but that selection dilemma seems a bit far off!

One of my favourite quotes is that people forget defensive players and abilities is also part of the game. The attacking teams need to find a way to beat the defence...

Let's see what the summer brings! At this stage we hope it'll happen, we hope some of us might be there, so perhaps the low key football build up might help?

Travelling is great but home wins add a massive atmosphere factor. Cheers

I've too many memories of piss streaming down terraces from the 70s and 80s. It's hard to take in when you go to games (well if you could) these days.

Quality keeper, we mentioned the 85 game versus wales where he had to be substituted because he didn't have spare contact lens! Probably a unique situation!

Any big win is enjoyable! In the 2nd episode one of the lads talks about his sons first game versus Gibraltar and he couldn't believe Scotland could score six goals!

That was some line up for the Scotland team that day! Top quality in every position.

Yep, an "old" guy like me (that's what my mates call me) was surprised how popular this one is proving! Cheers

For anyone looking to debate us we podcasted on our favourite Scotland games of the last 50 years, over two episodes. This is the first episode. We go from England game in 76 (our English "friend" gets short shrift when he mentions the 75 game...) to the recent Serbia game. Plus one of the Bullpen Bros recounts his time in the old Hampden Press Box, not for the faint hearted! Also including Russia 1994 and a couple of World Cup Qualifiers against the Welsh! We're Scottish football fans normally podcasting on baseball but deciding to use our years of football experience to broaden the entertainment.
