The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast - There’s Only Two James Morrisons

Click here to listen to this season's final podcast.

Hello and welcome to the final Terrace of the 10/11 campaign. We may be back with the odd close-season extravaganza, but for the moment just fill your boots with this offering.

We kick things off by talking through the Scottish Cup final, before moving onto the latest news in Scottish football this week, featuring Hearts' signings, Willo Flood, St. Johnstone and the Rangers soap opera.

We'll have a special Top 5 as we look back on five of the most memorable (positive) things to have happened this campaign and we will have the return of the Rumour Mill, where we talk Bothroyd, Conway, Aluko, Wallace and Taouil among others.

We give our congratulations to Ayr and Albion Rovers, both promoted through the playoffs and also talk Jimmy Nicholl, Paul Burns, Ross County signings from their Highland neighbours and Paul Hartley taking the reins at Alloa; fear the beard!

In this packed end-of-season show we'll also peruse the Scotland XI to face Wales and have Where are they Now?

It's been a blast, folks! Enjoy the show.

The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast: Team of the Year

Click here to listen to the latest episode of The Terrace.

 We talk about Rangers and how they are the Champions of Scotland for the 54th time, as Walter Smith bows out of the Ibrox hotseat a winner. We'll have the story of Helicopter Sunday, and chat about where the title was one and lost, what's next and chat about the extraordinary and laudable atmosphere's at both Rugby Park and Celtic Park.

The SFL playoff's promise excitement, and the semi-finals did not disappoint. Cowdenbeath and Alloa both went out at the semi stage, meaning both are relegated [to SFL2 and SFL3 resepectively]. We'll hand out praise where it's due and look ahead to Ayr vs Brechin [for a place in SFL1] and Albion vs Annan Athletic [for a place in SFL2].

And, as a special end of [SPL] season treat, we will be piecing together our SPL Team of the Year 10/11, with our usual proviso; that every team should be represented [11 players, 1 coach]. Feel free to get in touch if you agree/disagree with out selection.

Remember, also - we'll be back on Friday with a pre-Cup final special, so be sure to download that on Friday as your perfect prelude to the Hampden showpiece.

Date night in Kilmarnock

Click here to listen to this week's Terrace Podcast.

On this week's show we look back on the Old Firm derby at the weekend - from team selections, to star players and managerial ear-cupping. As well as the rumble in Glasgow, there were another three other matches and plenty of goals to look back on.

In the lower league round-up, we look back on the Fife derby - gun-toting mascot and all - as well as the battles at the top and bottom of SFL2 and we congratulate Arbroath on their first ever title!

There's also predictions for this week's top-flight football and plenty more. Wrap your ears around it and enjoy.

The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast - "Following the Fast Food Rockers…"

Click here to listen to this week's Terrace Podcast.

 After a little week's hiatus, welcome to a brand spanking new episode of The Terrace.

On this week's show we will talk about the weekend's Scottish Cup semi-finals, which saw Motherwell and Celtic both claim comfortable victories which ensured they will meet each other in the May 21st showpiece.

There's also SPL action to look back on, with Rangers ascending (temporarily?) to the top of the SPL and Hibs somehow contriving to lose at home to relegation victims-elect Hamilton Accies. There was also a fairly entertaining draw up in Inverness...so they say...none of us saw the match.

In the lower leagues we congratulate the champions of SFL2 Livingston, and look ahead to the match which may go a long way to deciding the champions of SFL1 - the mouth-watering Fife Derby between Dunfermline and Raith Rovers.

There's even an in-depth look at all of those names who could land a PFA award come May 1st and a full prediction of the SPL action to come in the next week - including Rangers vs Celtic VII.

The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast - "Accents"

Click here to listen to this week's Terrace Podcast.

We talk about the SPL action at the weekend including the Edinburgh derby and give our two pennies worth on the ICT v Celtic postponement where a gruff sounding Craig takes on the nonsensical role of the hard-nosed, old timer.

It wasn't just football that was worth discussing in the SPL as the Rangers takeover and Neil Doncaster proposal also took centre stage on this week's topics.

In the lower leagues: Falkirk are all but out of it, Livi have all but secured it and things get interesting if you are a Airdrie United fan... or is that Alloa... or is that Arbroath?

There is a jam-packed predictions section that includes midweek and weekend SPL fixtures, as well as the Challenge Cup Final between Queen of the South and Ross County. Who will want it more?

There is also our usual favourites in Where Are They Now? and Punt of the Week.

As usual, enjoy the show!

Brazil, Mixu & Takeovers

Please click here to listen to the latest installment of The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast.

There was no SPL action at the week, but there is still plenty talk about, starting with all the international goodness of out potassium-filled trip to face Brazil. We'll discuss what we learned, what's next and what the atmosphere was like among the throngs of Scots down there.

In domestic matters we'll have a round-up of what has been happening in club football, including talking Mixu, and potential takeovers of St. Mirren and Rangers.

Last night was a massive night in the SFL, particularly in the ever-changing race for the SPL taking place in SFL1, while Livingston and Arbroath look shoe-ins for SFL2 and SFL3 respectively. We also want to hear from Alloa and Clyde fans; what has happened with your clubs in the past couple of weeks?!

There's action to preview, including the vital Scottish Cup quarter-final tonight (which is only £10 / £5 to get into - get on that!) between Motherwell and Dundee United as well as a full card of SPL fixtures - including the Edinburgh derby.

There's also our usual goodies of Punt of the Week and Where are they Now?

Doing A 'St. Mirren'

Click here to listen to this week's Terrace Scottish Football podcast featuring Alan Temple, Craig Fowler and myself.

In this week's show we discuss the first trophy of the season being  handed out to Rangers, who defeated Celtic after extra-time in a pleasantly watchable enounter at Hampden yesterday. We pick through the bones of that one and bestow praise and scorn on deserving parties.

Throwing away positive positions in the last 10 minutes of a football match must now be known as 'doing a St. Mirren', and Hearts were the beneficiaries as Danny Lennon's men absolutely St. Mirren-ed it at Tynecastle on Saturday. That and much more in the SPL round-up.

It's almost time for the Scottish invasion of England. We preview the Scotland vs Brazil friendly at the Emirates as I let loose the dorment side of my mind which wants to go topless in London.

A preview of Brechin's trip to St. Johnstone, the SFL round-up and Where are they Now? make up the rest of our weekly offering.

The Terrace - 28th February 2011

Click here to listen to this week's Terrace Podcast featuring Alan Temple, Craig Fowler and myself.

After a hiatus of a week, we are back with a show packed full of Scottish football incident - starting off with Celtic’s shock capitulation at Fir Park, which handed title race momentum back to the men in blue.

A team in blue continue to set the pace in the SFL, with Raith leading division one - but they are being fervently chased by Dunfermline and Falkirk. There’s also focus on Livingston, Peterhead and an unpredictable division three.

There’s a preview of this coming week’s Scottish Cup replay between Celtic and Rangers as we ask whether differing results for the Old Firm this weekend will have any bearing on the result of the cup tie.

And, as always, there’s a full round-up of all 8 SPL matches which will be taking place in the next 7 days up and down the country.

All that, and Where are they Now? and Punt of the Week too.

The Kill-ees

Click here to listen to this week’s episode of The Terrace. You can also download it on iTunes here.

For once, an Old Firm actually lived up to expectations. A thoroughly breathless encounter ended 2-2 at Ibrox, and we will talk Brown, Diouf, Ness, Calum Murray and Steven Naismith to open the show this week.

The draw for the quarter-finals has taken place and we will decipher who can be most pleased with the result, and how the rest of the teams navigated their 5th round ties.

In the lower leagues, Raith keep plodding along, Stirling look doomed and Dundee look set to claim a first-ever moral league championship - at a canter! We also talk Dumbarton, Forfar, Elgin and Jim Duffy’s Clyde.

Scotland are in action, and The Terrace will try and get you hyped for Wednesday’s trip to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin by chatting about the game, the squad inclusions and the potential stand-out stars of our first ever Carling Nations Cup campaign.

There’s even Punt of the Week and Where are they Now? in a packed show. I hope you enjoy.

A Shot At Glory

Click here for the latest edition of The Terrace in which I make my debut appearance with the radio show hosted by Alan Temple and Craig Fowler. You can also listen on iTunes here.

We discuss:

The SPL becomes more than a two-horse race….or did it?

There’s contrasting fortunes for the other club in the capital as Hibs lurch from one bad result to another - can the signings of Thornhill and Jean-Francois do anything to stem the tide of bade results down Easter Road way?

Meanwhile, Celtic continue to look more and more capable of taking the title back to the East End.

In the lower leagues we talk Jocky Scott, Queen of the South, Liam Buchanan, Darren Gribben and East Stirling in a packed round-up of life outside the top tier in Scotland.

As well as the usual packed week of SPL action there is also a couple of Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-finals to look forward to, as Stuart McCall’s Motherwell and Craig Brown’s Aberdeen look to shock Rangers and Celtic respectively at our national stadium.

Aside from that there is Where are they Now? and Punt of the Week.

Enjoy the show.
