It's the two John's and Krys on the podcast as they discuss the current events in Scottish football. We're straight in to European action as all teams remain undefeated after 90 mins. The guys discuss whether they think all or any of the teams will progress to the next round. The domestic matches of the three teams are discussed along side the European games. Once again the compliance officer seems to have been watching different footage to the rest of us. The rest of the weekend action in the Premiership is discussed after this with the two John's being pleased about the signing of James Wilson on loan. There was a screamer from Boyd in one of the other games but its not the game you'd think it would be. There is a quick summary of the lower league action as talk leads to who may be first manager to lose their job. The Irn Bru Cup continues this week with John B hoping Raith Rovers lose. This isn't just because he is an Aberdeen fan but is due to the fact that Barry Smith has said he'll play in his charity game that he is organising on 9th September at Falkirk stadium. A reminder that it's an over 35s game between Aberdeen and Celtic. If anyone can help in any way then get in touch with John @jbleasdale81 on twitter. To finish off, the League Cup is previewed with not many shocks expected. Thanks for listening and feel free to contact us on @sffpodcast on twitter. Feel free to contact us on twitter sffpodcast

Welcome to episode 59 of our weekly podcast. We took advantage of the S4C cameras being at Park Hall last week, and caught up with Mark Jones, for his thoughts on the Irn-Bru Cup and TNS in general. Following the 5-0 victory against Llandudno we chatted with manager Craig Harrison and man of the match, Ryan Brobbel. With another clean sheet, we also interviewed star defender, Connell Rawlinson.
Hamish, Lewis, Calum and Connor (by phone) regroup to discuss Scotland's failings in typical Scotland fashion against the giants of Lithuania on Saturday night. They look at where the current team is lacking and where it seems to have all gone wrong since the highs of the start of the previous qualifying campaign, and where it leaves us ahead of Tuesday's game against Slovakia and the remainder of the group. The podcast then becomes slightly more upbeat with a review of the Irn-Bru Cup weekend action - which proved it isn't all quite doom and gloom. But we're pish.
