    Gutted Toulouse Jens & Big Suttie Turns Up Late (Like Any Good Striker)

    A chaotic, laugh-out-loud instalment as hosts Crofty and Peter try a minute’s silence… then immediately unravel into classic banter—complete with Crofty adopting a Canadian accent just to survive a Tim Hortons order. But amid the madness, there’s real football substance: a heartfelt goodbye to manager Jens after an 11‑month spell and his move to Toulouse, plus an in-depth, story-rich chat with club icon John Sutton on Motherwell highs, European nights, dressing-room characters, and why Scottish youth development is at a crossroads.  Key highlights  A “minute’s silence” experiment that becomes a running joke about audience drop-off (and who lasted longest). Farewell to Jens: hosts react to his departure after a formal approach from Toulouse, with compensation and terms “finalised” after 11 months.Gary Muircroft vs Tim Hortons: the Canadian-accent order attempt (hash browns, vanilla dip doughnut…and a “tangerine quencher”) becomes instant episode folklore.Guest arrival chaos: John Sutton is “in the house” and joins as the star guest. [Who next for the dugout? Talk of Europe-based feelers, debate over Scottish options, and a shout for Barry Ferguson. John Sutton’s journey: from Tottenham academy days (including mention of a young Wayne Rooney at Everton) to a move north, helped by Tosh McKinlay, amid lower-league cash issues after ITV Digital collapsed.  Motherwell memories: playing under managers like Mark McGhee, reflections on Jim Gannon as “divisive/maverick”, and standout moments such as the 6–6 vs Hibs and a 3–3 comeback at Rangers. European nights: discussion of ties including Nancy and an away trip to Steaua Bucharest described as one of the best atmospheres he played in. Cup final & the “VAR would have a heart attack” era: reflections on the Scottish Cup final vs Celtic and the crunching challenges of the time. Hearts madness under Vladimir Romanov: interpreter stories, missed pay, and the strange realities of that period (including a stint in Australia while major matches unfolded back home). Big theme finish: Scottish youth development—a blunt critique of cutting the pathway at 18 and the lack of a proper reserves bridge into first-team football. Share, Follow and Subscribe
