Laurie also tells us how nervous he is in the run up to the Scottish Cup final and we all give our predictions for the game.

The Paul Band Charity bet has had a few lean weeks, so we take a slightly different approach to this weeks bet.

Laurie is on editing duty, which you will probably realise with the ending to the podcast.

Craig

Greig is sick (not like that) and misses this week, so it’s me (Craig), Krys and Laurie.

We cover two rounds of SPL ties in this busy podcast. With the season coming to a close, we see 3rd and 4th place being secured, as well as the relegation spot being decided.

Laurie takes over the Paul Band charity bet, after another poor performance last week.

Finally we preview the final SPL games of the season.

Craig

On Sunday there was the last Old Firm game at Celtic Park, with Celtic winning 3-0, so there is obviously a lot of praise for Celtic, and perhaps the opposite for Rangers.

Krys chose the Paul Band charity bet last week, but after under performing I take over the selection process.

Craig

This weekend seen the first matches in the SPL following the split. The Championship is tied up, but the fight at the top is for the remaining Champions League spot in third. St Johnstone faced Dundee United, who both have eyes on 3rd, and Motherwell face champions Celtic.

Krys steps up to the plate with this week’s Paul Band charity bet. I let everyone down with only one win out of four, so hopefully he can do better.

Next week sees the final (ever?) Old Firm of the season and we stick our necks out and try to predict a winner. Celtic got two votes and Rangers got one. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess who voted for who

Craig

With two Scottish Cup semi finals this weekend, there is plenty to cover.

There were six goals, with one being particularly tasty, and two stand out celebrations, with one including a dummy(no offence Leigh) and one being potentially the best celebration you will see at Hampden.

In the Hearts vs Celtic game, there were a number of contentious decisions, so we try and cover those as impartially as we can. During this discussion, I get out the FIFA rule book, to discuss the definition of a hand ball, and try to persuade others that a penalty was the correct decision.

Following Neil Lennon’s rush onto the pitch, and subsequent Twitter comments, we discuss how he is maybe a nice guy really and just needs to work on his public persona.

We were going for a third Paul Band charity bet victory in a row, but alas it was not to be. I take the honour of picking this week’s matches, in the hope we can add to the pot.

The SPL returns this weekend, with the first of the post split matches. We take our weekly stab in the dark and try to predict the outcome of each match.

John is a big fan of our national team, so discussion sways towards Levein’s selection policy, a Scotland B team, as well as covering a few exciting wingers we have in the SPL.

We discuss the weekends SPL games, with it being a particularly good weekend, containing some very good goals.

There is an update on the Paul Band, with the pot swelling to almost £90. Yorkhill has been chosen as the charity to benefit from the charity pot at the end of the season.

We conclude the podcast with our predictions for the final SPL games prior to the split.

We also preview next weekends SPL games, as well as predicting the scores.

There is an update on the Paul Band Charity, which only managed a 50% success rate last weekend, with there hopefully being a change in fortune with next weeks prediction.

St Mirren play Hearts in a Scottish Cup replay on Wednesday night, and we predict who will progress to the semi finals.

It’s an important weekend for SPL title, with the possibility of Celtic clinching the title depending on certain results in the Kilmarnock vs Motherwell game and the Rangers vs Celtic game. We give our predictions for the aforementioned games, as well as the other four SPL games.

There was only one SPL game last weekend, but it still gave us the goal of the entire weekend, although the scorer might not agree.

The Scottish Cup quarter finals took place, with Aberdeen, Hibs and Celtic progressing, with St Mirren and Hearts going to a replay.

Sunday sees the league cup final between Celtic and Kilmarnock and we make our predictions on the scoreline and eventual winner.

We also predict the SPL games that are due to take place, with Ranger’s visit to Tannadice and the Edinburgh derby being two stand out games.

The Scotland game gets out focus at the start of the podcast, however Greig isnt too interested in the game itself.

We continue with our usual SPL review. Luckily Laurie is still on his holidays, or I would have to endure his gloating for the entire hour.

Rangers inevitably get a mention, with player redundancies still unknown at the time of recording on Monday evening.

We preview the sole SPL game of the coming weekend, with our main focus being on the Scottish Cup ties.

The podcast starts with a review of the latest SPL games from last week, as well as the weekend.

The Paul Band Charity Bet got three results correct at the weekend, but unfortunately two were wrong, so there was no return. We mention the bet for next weekends games, with over £100 up for grabs if they all come up.

Scotland travel to Slovenia on Wednesday night, so we attempt to predict the result, although the predictions are not altogether serious. The game is live on http://primetimelive.co.uk/ for £4.99.

We conclude the podcast with a look ahead to the weekends SPL games and make our weekly predictions.

Laurie started a couple of polls and we discuss the results. Poll one asked whether you prefer cup games to be played to a conclusion, or to have a replay. The second poll asked whether the SPL would be better or worse without Rangers.

We discuss the latest Scotland squad for the upcoming friendly against Slovenia, focusing on key inclusions and exclusions.

We give our usual glance over the games in the SPL from the weekend and see that Krys managed to get two predictions correct from last weeks show.

Paul Band gives us this weeks Paul Band Charity bet after my woeful effort last week.

This week’s podcast marks Laurie’s last show before taking a short break to focus on his studies, so there is a sad tinge to this podcast, although Laurie does assure us that he will be back.

Craig

To start thing of, we discuss the news that Rangers have filed their intention for going into administration. With a Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell and Rangers fan on the podcast, we try to give our balanced reaction. As a Motherwell fan, Greig, gives us his experience of administration.

We also review the weekends SPL games, with Greig owing me money for his Ojaama hatrick tip.

I take the opportunity to pick this weekends accumulator for the Paul Band Charity Bet. This week’s £5 bet has a potential return of almost £50.

We make our predictions for the upcoming SPL midweek games, as well as the full card on Saturday.

Following Laurie’s impression of Kenny Shiels last week, he gives us another impression, which reminds us why he isn’t a professional impressionist.

Last week’s Paul Band Charity Bet didnt come up, so Paul give us this weeks selections, with odds of over 70/1 up for grabs.

The transfer window closes at 11pm on the 31st of January, so we discuss the latest rumours and predictions for the final day.

We also take a look at Hearts, who escaped punishment from the SPL following their latest wages saga.

With the new look Paul Band Charity Bet in mind, we look ahead to the weekends Scottish Cup games and build our £5 accumulator.

Following Johnny Hayes and Richie Foran’s handbags in the Scottish Cup, we discuss refereeing consistency.

Following a look at the Scottish Cup replays, we look at the weekend’s SPL games, which threw up a couple of surprise results. Aberdeen winning a point at Ibrox and Dunfermline beating Killie 3-0 being particular standouts.

At the weekend, Griffiths and Higdon made gestures towards the crowd, which leads to us discussing whether it is serious enough to warrant a two match ban.

The podcast finishes with our attempts at predicting the score in the upcoming SPL games, as well as the Scottish Cup semi finals.

Recording took place on Monday evening and the latest news was that Hearts had paid, or were about to pay, their players on time, so that led to discussion on the situation.

Laurie recently wrote an <a href=”http://www.scottishfootballforums.co.uk/home/2012/01/a-message-to-you-rudi/”>article on Rudi Skácel</a> and during the podcast recording, he received an email notification that Rudi was following him on Twitter. As you can imagine, Laurie was chuffed.

We preview the three Scottish Cup fourth round  replays and attempt to make our predictions.

We take a different slant to the Paul Band Charity Bet after a barren spell, with an accumulator on the SPL games coming up at the weekend. The games themselves are picked following our own personal SPL score predictions.

To discuss the podcast, please join us on <a href=”http://forums.scottishfootballforums.co.uk”>Scottish Football Forums</a> to discuss the SFF podcast, as well as discussing the latest events in Scottish football.

We review the SPL games from the 2nd of January, including the Edinburgh Derby.

We cover the Scottish Cup 4th round games that took place this weekend, with a focus on the Ross County, Motherwell, Hearts, Celtic and Rangers games. Greig and Laurie also take a less than positive look at the 5th round draw.

We finish by making our usual attempt at predicting the upcoming weekend’s SPL games, with Laurie on a bit of a run going on previous weeks.

We look back at our best footballing moments of 2011, as well as the worst.

Laurie created a number of highlight clips, including one specifically for me (Craig) and one for Laurie. After hearing my “best bits”, it’s fair to say that I should really try to cut back on the mentions of alcohol and Sandaza.

As usual, we look at the SPL games that were played on the 28th, including the second old firm of the season, and look ahead to the first round of games in 2012, including the Edinburgh derby.
