  1. It would be nice if just once, somebody independent of Rangers came forward and said "enough is enough". What are we/you trying to achieve by this witch hunt. Our game is falling to bits around us and all we're interested in is how much more we can punish Rangers. Longmuir and other directors spring to mind, though it may be a long time in waiting.........

  2. Michael Higdon arrested after winning player of the year

    Higdon picked up the player of the year award at a ceremony at Glasgow's Hilton hotel on Sunday

    Motherwell striker Michael Higdon has been arrested over an alleged assault hours after being crowned Scotland's Player of the Year.

    The 29-year-old was held after a disturbance at the Corinthian nightclub in Glasgow in the early hours.

    BBC Scotland understands Higdon was released from police custody at 09:00.

    He was named Professional Footballers' Association Scotland Player of the Year at a ceremony on Sunday night.

    Higdon is the Scottish Premier League's top scorer this season, having netted 26 league goals for Motherwell.

    The club said it was aware of the situation.

    A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "A 29-year-old man is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with an alleged assault at a nightclub in Ingram Street in Glasgow at 1.25am today."

    Liverpool-born Higdon had been due to meet journalists for a media conference at 08:30 on Monday, but the event was cancelled.

    He won the award voted for by his peers ahead of Leigh Griffiths of Hibernian, Andrew Shinnie of Inverness and Aberdeen forward Niall McGinn.

    Higdon has described this season as the "best of his career" and credited his success to "confidence, playing in a good team and having a manager who believes in me".

    He began his career at Crewe before moving to Scotland to sign for Falkirk in 2007.

    After two years with the Bairns, he joined St Mirren before leaving for Motherwell in 2011.

    That will go down well.

  3. Don't see any comments from ourantipodean cousins on any forums, so as it stands you're in with a shout.

    You mention your class - are you in a teaching post?

    Stephen'll get a mention mate

    Yes, about 1300 students a week. Football is a minority sport here and plays second fiddle to Basketball, about 20 of us play 5 a'side on a basketball court. Cheers for that if you do.

  4. Good effort mate, thank you for your kind words - you just got yourself a mention on Mon's show for that sort of commitment.

    This is going to be our first close season and we are open to sugestions for show ideas. We have got some notions at the moment and will be discussing this very subject over the next few days.

    Keep a eye on the forums as we are going to be looking for categories for our end of season award ceremony on May 6Th.

    Keep listening and spread the word.

    P.S. how far are you from Ibrox? This might be a category - "most distant listener"

    About 5500 miles as the crow flies, though I'm guessing you have listeners in Australia which is double that. If you do, put a shout out for Stephen in Tongzi, China, pronounced Tongza, I'll show my class the next day on the pod cast. Cheers.

  5. Listened to all the Archives a few months ago when I heard about it on here, now I'm in China and have the mis-fortune of getting up every morning to listen to it at 4am on my phone. The Yank bird knows her stuff which is frightening so as do the rest of the cast. What happens when the season ends?
