Episode 17

Craig Telfer is joined by Amy Canavan and Tony Anderson to talk over another manic week in the world of Scottish football.

After title wins for Linlithgow and St Johnstone, plus epic Hampden semi-final wins for Dunfermline and Celtic, we look at the difference-makers on and off the field. We also look back on one of the worst misses you are ever likely to see, some social media trolling of epic proportions and ask whether the ever increasing price of this summer’s World Cup is already making it one of the worst ever.

Every season hinges on moments that change everything, and we are entering that time of the season where fans look back and think ‘what if…?’ These are the sliding doors moments of this season, where one slight change could have altered everything. We look at the missed sitter that brought down an empire at Celtic and the bizarre substitution that changed the whole course of Scottish football history forever.

Forty years after Hearts lost the league title on the final day of the season, a group of Hearts fans come together to talk about their experiences for the first time and look ahead to a potential future that wipes away the pain.

With Steve Clarke preparing to name the 26 players who will carry the hopes and dreams of a nation on their shoulders this summer, we look at the Scotland players over the years for whom international duty hasn’t always gone smoothly. Which player’s career almost ended before it began, who had the debut of nightmares, and whose legacy was wiped out by a moment of madness?

There is a monumental Edinburgh derby to look forward to this weekend as well as more titles and relegations on the line. And in the Banker, there is the mother of all twists. Can Telfer turn it around and finally get his hands on the elusive Eamonn Brophy Lone Wolf Trophy?

Scottish football, it means everything and it means nothing. And it’s all here on A View from the Terrace.
