05.03 // Four to Follow
Right, let's forget that awful business in Glasgow the other week and get back to the football. There's a bit of a strange spread across the SPL this weekend, with our pick of the SPL game coming on Monday evening as Dundee United and Aberdeen go hea...
26.02 // Four to Follow
Phew! The games are coming thick 'n fast these days. Barely have I recovered from the excitement of the midweek action (no, not that guffery in Lisbon, I'm talking about Ayr's 4-0 pumping at the hands of East Fife) when another batch of #fitbawaction c...
For Sale: Motherwell FC, one careful owner..
Motherwell are looking for new owners now that owner travel agent magnate John Boyle has decided to 'walk away' from the club after nearly fifteen years behind the scenes. He's hoping to give the club over to a wider local community. It's every fan's d...
19.02 // (Old Firm Free) Four to Follow
Now, I mustn't mention the Old Firm game. I mustn't. This blog is about the little guys, the underdogs, the also-rans in Scottish football. Yer Albion Rovers, yer Stranraers, yer Annan Athletics, yer Heart of Midlothians. So I must not mention what fee...

Mince and Tatties 13 // the #facepalm update
Unlucky 13, as the case may be. The morning (or, more accurately, the late afternoon) after the day before finds Inside Left with a footballing hangover that both shames and irritates in equal measures. Humble pie is on the menu. Humble pie with an ext...
Preview // Aberdeen v Motherwell
Ah, an otherwise nondescript mid-week fixture is made more interesting by the fact that Aberdeen have, in recent seasons, gotten into the habit of poaching Motherwell's staff. A compliment, if you ask me, but quite possibly not the way in which tonig...
Job Center’s yon wey pal! (part 2)
Well, well, well. Going into this weekend's fixtures, I'd have been the last one to have predicted yet another managerial casualty. Hibs, about whom there's been plenty of paper talk pulled of a win and so kept Colin Calderwood's place in the Easter Ro...
