Episode 5

A View From The Terrace celebrates every inch of Scottish football, from top to bottom.

This week it’s Halloween and, just like dooking for apples, the team are plunging their faces into the icy waters of the last seven days to see what juicy fruits they can pull from the dirty old bucket of Scottish football.

Joining Telfer this week is Shaughan McGuigan, the man who puts the ‘aww’ into Kirkaldy, and Amy Canavan, who was once compared to Dundee manager Steven Pressley, apparently...

As usual, Scottish football has plenty of frightful occurrences to dissect, including Brendan Rodgers' wild Celtic exit, Aberdeen’s bizarre new sporting director, and Robby McCrorie’s pitchside drinking games. Plus, you know something spooky is going on when Cove Rangers and Airdrieonians both win on the same weekend…
With points deductions and sanctions dominating our game like never before, we ask what it means for the fans when entire league seasons are being defined off the park instead of on it. Should a team really be relegated because of their sloping pitch, or excluded entirely because of a lack of fencing?

With panto season just around the corner, we take a humorous look at the world of the Scottish football panto villain. From wee nyaffs to shavenheaded hard men, this is the ultimate guide to the players and managers that we love to hate.

It’s League Cup Semi-final weekend and the panel looks ahead to a Glasgow derby where, for the first time ever, each set of fans might hate their own team more than they hate the opposition. Who would have predicted Danny Rohl v Martin O’Neill at the start of the season, and is this really the best chance of silverware for both Glasgow giants this season?

And in The Banker, Telfer, Shaughan and Amy have a bit of fun with some woeful Halloween puns.
