Episode 61: Dens Spark ⚡️
It's 2024, it's our 4th year, and it's time for our 1st pod of the New Year. We look ahead at the Scottish Cup this weekend and a few possible upsets on the horizon, celebrate Curtis Main's triumphant return to Scottish football (closely followed by Greg Stewart LIVE ON AIR), and give you our…

Episode 60: Feed The Bair
After a month's hiatus for one half of this Pod to get marred 🎩 we're back post-International break to discuss Scotland's heroics, practice our German, and break down what's been a typically turbulent first couple of months in (soon to no longer be named) the Cinch. Enjoy this proverbial feast…

Episode 59: The Season Preview 📈
Well, here we go again. The summer break has been and gone. A Premiership team has already embarrassed itself in the League Cup. Another has shamed itself in Europe. It's the start of August and the new season is mere DAYS away. It's time to pick those Fantasy Football Scotland squads folks ⏰…

Episode 58: Doing The Splits
I couldn't be bothered writing this description so I got ChatGPT to do it instead: The Fantasy Fitba Pod is back for another episode, and this time we're talking all about the upcoming split! With the split just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how you're going to use your...
-
Episode 57: Goose & Maverick
It's our first pod of 2023 (we know, we know) but we're back with a bang, and we may or may not be wearing trousers. We climb aboard the manager merry-go-round, breakdown the numbers behind the seamless introduction of VAR in Scotland (ahem), and whet our appetites for the split by surveying the...
-
Episode 56: Big Myk
Well, it's been a while...so we've got PLENTY to cover. With that in mind, we will keep this short and sweet and encourage you to dive right in for a Cinch quarter-season review starring Big Myk, Shank, and The Duk 😎 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Episode 55: Deadline Day w/ Geoghegan
The man with more appearances on the pod than any other - our very own Billy McNeill - joins us for Episode 55 of the Fantasy Fitba Pod. That's right ladies and gentleman...Mr Craig Geoghegan is back for another season. We get the Specs View™️ on all the latest happenings in the Cinch and what it...
-
Episode 54: ASOS Ancelotti
We've had three Cinch filled weeks and, quite frankly, we're like pigs in shit. It's had a bit of everything; a manager sacked before the season commenced, last minute winners, coefficient points going up in smoke, Martindale magic, the return of Martin Boyle, and a big bloke having the time of…
more -
Episode 53: Rocky Road - Season Preview
The summer break has been and gone, and it's now time for...THE NEW SEASON! There's already been more drama than your average episode of Love Island, so that can only mean that the Cinch is once again upon us. We discuss some slightly controversial changes to Fantasy Football Scotland, review all...
-
Episode 52: Wildcard Special 🃏
The end is nigh and the post-split Wildcard is upon us! We cover off Jambo glory, Maloney misery, Rangers European escapades, and the VAR announcement that sent shockwaves around the Cinch...before a FIRST look at those all important Wildcard drafts. Mulling over (or Mullen, as the case may be)...
-
Episode 51: Gorgeous Giorgos
Keeping this description short and concise, just like tonight's pod. The gorgeous Greek bags a hattrick and 69 points for Scobie whilst he's at it. A round-up of Scotland's endeavours, which FFS app features should come and go in 22/23, and John looks forward to his first Aberdeen victory of the...
-
Episode 50: Half Cinchury w/ Gregor Smith
"Alexa, play Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder" 🎊 Welcome fans and friends to our 50th episode - a rip roaring birthday celebration featuring pod hat-trick hero Mr Gregor Smith. Thanks for joining us week in, week out, for our distinctly average patter. We appreciate the support immensely. We get...
-
Episode 49: Return Of The Rice
It's been a while, folks. We've had a manager merry go round in the Cinch, with the return of some familiar old faces in McGhee and Robinson, and Goodwin crossing the Dee to take the reigns at Pittodrie. So, naturally, we had to name this episode after new Alloa manager BRIAN RICE folks! We round...
-
Episode 48: Swiping Right In To '22
We start 2022 with YET ANOTHER live pod, this time down in the Big Smoke at John's gaff. We bounce back from the winter break and discuss cup upsets, an avalanche of transfers, and - dare we say - the rise of the lower half of the league. Beers, banter, and Bumble. Do we have an exciting 2022 to...
-
Episode 47: Live From The Shed II w/ Gerry
It's the FFP Christmas Special and where else would be recording from? Gerry's shed, of course. We chew the fat with the Gaffer and take the opportunity to review the season...so far! With the Winter break now upon us, we look back on the past 6 months of action and give each of the teams a grade...
-
Episode 46: Off The Boyle
Well, we recorded this one far too late in the evening for a witty description but I can confirm that despite rumours to the contrary, no rules have been broken with regards to Covid restrictions and - I repeat - there was NOT a party. It was simply a business meeting and perhaps there was cans…
more -
Episode 45: The Return Of Van Staunchorst
Scotland beating Denmark + Hibs beating Rangers + County beating Hibs + Hearts beating United + United being Aberdeen + Saints losing a cup game + Motherwell looking good again + St Mirren...well, drawing. It's all a bit much to keep up with 🤯 Well, we try our very best an unpick the month that...
-
Episode 44: cinch'ed It
We've only gone and bloody cinch'ed it! After a 3 week hiatus we return with a bottom to top review of the league as the quarter way point in the season sails past us. Stragglers being cut loose at the bottom of the league, I hear you ask? Think again. Champion contenders pulling away from their...
-
Episode 43: Shattered Glass
New show, new rapid intro. We're going to guess that you know exactly what we're all about by now so let's get right in to it! And by it, we mean a quick recap of (another) famous international footballing weekend for Scotland, a recap of all the action in the Cinch - who may or may not be our…
more -
Episode 42: Fuel Backs⛽️ w/ Gregor Smith
We're back with a bumper episode featuring none other than Gregor "The Statistician" Smith - back by very popular demand. Ever wondered how many of those nifty new bonus points have been dished out to the top players in the league? Mulling over the vast range of full back options at our disposal...
-
Episode 41: The Budget Bergkamp
Fresh from an action packed trip to the Highland (no, we weren't at ICT v Partick Thistle) we dust off the confetti and review a weekend brimming with headlines. John talks us through the pie and bovril situation at Fir Park, Scobie reiterates in both English and Hebrew why Abada is a must have,...
-
Episode 40: Goodnight Vienna w/ Geoghegan
In what was meant to be a tête-à-tête between two sides of the Old Firm coin, we settle for just one half in our now regular panelist Mr Craig Geoghegan. Fresh off back to back Scotland wins (including tonight's heroics in Vienna) we settle ourselves down after some initial Sir Steve Clarke…
more -
Episode 39: Ojo Finds His Mojo
Oh, we're going to Ibiza! ☀️ Well, not both of us but John is. Mere minutes before he boards his plane, live from the departures lounge, we dissect Week 3 of the Cinch's finest. Hearts vs Aberdeen turned out to be not quite to contest we anticipated (but at least we're talking about it on the…
more -
Episode 38: Furuhavhim
We're back after a short League Cup induced interruption (but who's really cared about that for the past 59 years...) to look ahead to Week 3 of the Scottish Premiership. We bless the cup ground the Callum Davidson walks on, we positively drool over the Doner Pie, and we look back and forth and…
more -
Episode 37: GMSesh
If Carlsberg did season opening weekends...they'd probably include a newly promoted side upstaging recent treble treble winners, new songs about American strikers taking the league by storm, big Dutch forwards flying in to challenges and making sure everyone remembered their name, and Hamilton...
-
Episode 36: (New) Season's Greetings 👋🏼
And just like that, the Euros have been and gone, the Summer break has been had...and we're ready for Season 2 of Fantasy Football Scotland! We hope you're all refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to re-enter to fantasy fold. We discuss all things new (of which there is a lot), lightly touch on...
-
Episode 35: The Last Dance 🏆
The end is sadly upon us...but not before the End Of Season Awards Party 2021! We look back on a season of ups and more ups - a year like no other - and finally reveal the winners of our much anticipated awards including Flop Of The Season, Bargain Basement Find, and the inaugural Train You Had…
more -
Episode 34: Dandy Cole w/ Gregor Smith
We are joined by Fantasy Fitba Scotland ROYALTY 👑 this week in the form of Gameweek 36 high scorer Gregor Smith. He talks us through how the stars aligned for him to take top spot, the trials and tribulations of being a "big left back" in the modern era, and has a right old moan about English…
more -
Episode 33: Virgil Van Dingwall w/ Danny Neilson
A guest this week who has two teams because he forgot the login detail for his first (and more infamous) team - Frank Lampard Is Guff. Ladies and Gentleman...Danny Neilson. We cover a wide range of topics in this episode (including a horticultural question from a little fan in Newcastle) and look...
-
Episode 32: Wild Rice
The Wildcard is finally upon us. It's almost as exciting as the pubs being open again. We go Fried (Brian) Rice for all things post-split transfers this episode as we prepare for Fantasy Football Scotland being back for the last hurrah, reflect on the Scotland National Team's rollercoaster week…
more -
Episode 31: Having A Laff
We cleanly jump our 31st hurdle on this, the eve of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. After John finally gets over Scobie winning a bet he wasn't part of, we cast our minds back across weeks of action which saw the (non-compliant) crowning of the Champions, a sad day for tanning salons in Aberdeen with…
more -
Episode 30: Dirty 30 "Pre-Spit" Review
🚨 MILESTONE KLAXON 🚨 It's our 30th episode and in true dirty 30 fashion, we thought we'd have a bit too much to drink and shoot straight from the hip for anyone listening. We review the season so far as we sit just two games from the split (or spit) meaning we go top to bottom reviewing each…
more -
Episode 29: Guy Goes Great Guns
The pubs are reopening! Neil Lennon is out of the job! The Euros are happening! John got a Tennents hamper! A week of wild action, to say the least. We reflect on Alexander's honeymoon going well and truly sour, Barisic and Boyle fluffing their lines, and the big split approaching relentlessly on...
-
Episode 28: Mrrr Anderson w/ Jimmy Ketts
In the first instalment of our English outreach program, we invite young Yorkshireman James Kettlewell (also known as Jimmy Ketts) on to the pod to share his views on the great game after his first foray in to Scottish football through FFS this year. After explaining a few of the idiosyncrasies…
more -
Episode 27: G'day For Boyle
In the first few seconds of this pod you'll be able to tell, but I can confirm we have now upgraded to the Widget B microphone courtesy of Gear4Music and boy oh boy do we sound crisp. That means you can get the latest Fantasy Football Scotland analysis direct to your headphones or speakers in a...
-
Episode 26: White & McKay
The January transfer window has closed. Another milestone. We look back on the window and assess the winners and losers from a fantasy perspective; the uncovered diamonds and the proverbial jobbies. It was a gameweek that consisted of no less than 10 games for us to get our teeth stuck in to…
more -
Episode 25: Double GameStop w/ Finn Thomson
If you don't get the reference in our episode title, which rock have you been living under this week? Talking of living under a rock, we have our favourite technophobe on the pod this week - Fapoor's Pingers manager, Finn Thomson 🥃 we get very excited about the up coming fixture frenzy, look…

Episode 24: Sheep Shagged
What's that coming over the hill, it's Double Gameweeks, it's Double Gameweeks 🎶 With fixtures positively coming out of our ears over the coming month or so, we start to think about how best to approach that. We also look back on Yogi having his wicked way with Dons in Dingwall, Honking Hibs...

Episode 23: Snakes On A Plane w/ Geoghegan
We welcome back friend of the pod and Wan Yer Ma manager, Craig Geoghegan, for his unflinching analysis of recent events at Celtic FC and that fateful trip to Dubai. Once he gets that off his chest we dive in to Gameweek 23 and look back some Bobby Madness, Shank's screamer, and the irresistible...

-
Episode 19: Viva La Jack Ross
A zippy pod today as we get right in to the action in December, and make up for a rather inflated hour long pod last week! We discuss Midfield options for our Team of the Season (so far) and apologise to Hibs fans for unintentionally leaving their players out thus far...promise. We also look back...
-
Episode 18: Aldi Lewis Ferguson
As the half way point of the season fast approaches we begin looking back at our Team of the Season (so far) starting with goalkeepers and defenders. Fun fact: there's more than one name we unanimously agree on. We talk budget Lewis Ferguson's, Dingwall Roy Keane's, and keeping more clean sheets...
-
Episode 17: You Know When You've Been Kabamba'd
After what felt like the longest November on record and a barren Fantasy Football Scotland month, December is finally upon and no less than SIX GAMEWEEKS to digest. Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride. We look back on the (pre-League Cup) Gameweek passed and nosey around for a whiff of value…
more -
Episode 16: Unite The Clans w/ Craig Geoghegan
Public Service Announcement: please accept our apology for the lack of music/editing on this week's pod. We've had some technical challenges which have really affected production at the last moment. We will get things back to normal service next week. Luckily, we're joined by Craig Geoghegan -...
-
Episode 15: No County For Old Men w/ Ross Mackintosh
Gameweek 13 came and went with, well, a bit of a whimper. But there's still lots to talk about as we hail to The Jambos famous win and invite on one of Gorgie's own - Cathro's Laptop manager Ross Mackintosh. Ross, or Tosh as he's known, helps us pick apart the week's action, scout out some…
more -
Episode 14: Watt's The Question?
We decided to keep this episode 'short and snappy' so I'm following suit with this description. All I'll say is John's pipes broke again. Oh, and Gameweek (Friday) 13(th) is on the horizon. Be afraid, be very afraid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
Episode 13: The Gold Rush w/ Iain Findlay
We mark the first Old Firm derby of the season with a special guest appearance from none other than Queen's XI manager (not that one, the other one) Mr Iain Findlay! We discuss the Gold(son) Rush, Saints finding their shooting boots, and give our collective thoughts on how to handle the upcoming...
-
Episode 12: The Mayor Of Norwich
OK - so it's not really got anything to do with Fantasy Football Scotland but for once Scotland actually won a knockout game and that's reason enough to celebrate. We do so along with looking back at Gameweek 10, the hectic end to the Summer transfer window, the latest Covid-related drama (it...
