Half the teams in Serie A are very poor also, like all those Como, Monza, Sassuolo, Lecce, Parma and Verona and whoever teams in the bottom 8 they have very mediocre players like Lyndon Dykes and Jack Hendry wouldn't look out of place among these teams.
Pretty aggressive defending, which stops the flow on serie A. Back in the nineties I loved watching Batistuta, Totti, Pirlo, Zidane, Del Piero, Di Canio, Cadete. The last supercopa I was like Jesus the Spanish just play the game.
Ian Mcall is a legend could listen to him all day. Once saw him in a chip shop in Dumfries he got an ice cream went away ate it then came back in and got a chip butty!
@RossCowan-w8f there definitely is, seen loads of teams sit in a low block and then trigger a press when the ball goes to a certain player or side of the pitch.
And thinking modern football is the pinnacle. The teams we had in the 80's and 90's would annihilate these overexposed, overhyped and overcoached soy drinkers of today.
Celtic made a 5.5 million profit on Jota yet have him on their books as a man who has already made his riches and is a young brilliant player. Benfica made 13 million total profit on Jota sale.
@@Macjohn18 Which part? They bought him initially for approx £6-mill plus former loan fee. Sold for just under £25-mill with £6.3 mill of that going to Benfica. Bought off Rennes for approx £6.4 mill.. Give or take a few hundred-grand it is right.
Diego Armando Maradona Franco is the best footballer ever to play the game Flawed genius personified To use a parlance of Tony Watt The original bag of madness
Slaney saying the dons need a striker and Si reeling off Sokler, Nisbett and Gueye.............Sokler out for the rest of the season, Nisbett on loan and could be recalled and Gueye wasnt playing as the striker earlier in the season when he scored his goals. Again highlighting how much he doesnt pay attention to a lot of Scottish football out with the OF.
Ian McCall deserved to be sacked as thistle manager, dropped so many points and chucked money at it under him, guy had a budget for the title and and said the week before ibrox the best we would get is 4th, such a victim attitude
Insane, probably better now than it has been for a while, lost iconic players from late 90’s that are hard to replace, that aside it’s arguably as good as it’s been for a long time.
"Let's get to the baths, get naked and slap each others arses"... Give it up Si. He tried the naked baths chat a few times and nobody interested. His patter is fucking shite. Ian was really good on this, naturally funny guy and comes across with good knowledge. Hope Rossco hasn't been binned.
Kyogo wants to play in a league, where opponents dont park the bus every game.Who wants to spend their best years,grafting to break a parked bus set up?!
@@Macjohn18 Wouldnt be surprised to see him on the move again in the summer, maybe to a Leeds or Leicester or maybe Moyes would take him to Everton. He'll be 24 in the summer and still not really broke into a team.
@celticbarry9877 exactly. I have no ill will for him I just hear people, mainly rangers fans, that think he is better than he is. Otherwise he would have broke into a team like you said.
Know who McCall is, wasn’t expecting much from this, but like many Open Goal episodes before it turns out to be really good, only being an hour and 39 mins. Btw, Si not having the Italian league Jesus Christ that might be his worst opinion 😂
With Aberdeen hasn't helped that a traffic cone is more use than Nisbet and we are constantly chucking goals in for fun Most likely Rubezic's last game for Aberdeen but poor from Thelin to pick him when a snail might out pace him Hopefully get a striker in so we can at least put away some of the chances we are creating
Andy 25 - 9 isn't 18 🤦♂️🤣 It's 16 son... And let's not forget, as everyone seems to have...they paid 6.5m to bring him in initially after loan... That's 9.5m profit minus what he earned in his 2 seasons in wages. Leave the finances to the accountants 🤣🤣🤦♂️
"Surprised Yogi never got got in somewhere" He was relegating half of Fife in his last couple of jobs. Unreal how little they know outside of Celtic and Rangers, who are actually the most boring and uninteresting clubs in the country if you bothered to pay attention to the whole of Scottish football.
Slaney been slaughtering Kyogo for weeks for not scoring enough goals and been in poor form. Now he's left, he's Celtics most important attacking player and vital to how Celtic play. You need to make up your mind wee fella.
Somebody needs tell mccall that ray wilkins trevor francis mark hateley are not fuckin scottish playerz. After his comment of been while since scottish boys went over italy did well ??
@ He’s 30 wants to play in a better league, Rennes aren’t always mid table, they compete for European spots, he’s also had over years in the SPL, he wants to play in a better league, he’s not a fan like you. Wake up.
Ferry pretending he doesn't use all those buzz words/ modern-day terms is something else 😂 every week it's style of play this, low block that.
Shut up sad act 😂 don't watch if si pisses you off simple as that
Great to have Andy back again
Good to see Andy back
Some football man Ian McCall. Built some brilliant squads in his career and has re-built Partick Thistle twice
Ian mccall shutting down the old firm talk shocked them 😂😂😂
Simon Ferry must be the only guy in world football that doesn’t rate the Serie A. Huge talk from a fella that plied his trade in League 2 in England.
Serie A is so boring to watch though , defo not what it used to be

U say this every week
He’s no the sharpest tool in the box mate..
1:00:34 delighted McCall stepped in with the no Celtic n Rangers chat. You dini need to give them 30 mins each every week.
If they didn’t talk about Celtic/Rangers as much, they wouldn’t get near as many views as they do.
Guys smoking a biro pen ffs 😂😂 @@GrahamDunn-p6h
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ian. Was good to see that side of him.👏
Si reads an ad straight off the paper and he's a 'Master at work' and a congrats from Andy. Is reading new to these lads? 😂
Have you heard si read? Think they spell it out for him phonetically on the sheet
Ian Mcall is a legend could listen to him all day. Once saw him in a chip shop in Dumfries he got an ice cream went away ate it then came back in and got a chip butty!
Lol McCall digging out the huns for having a picture of the queen in the dressing room.🤣
That got swapped out for the king ages ago
@@BlueKnows Hes talking about when he played in the 80,s/90s. Wether its the queen or king is missing the point he was making.
Would love to hear what they cut out right there
@@BlueKnows Maybe mentioned the ridiculous armed forces day nonsense.🤣
Clicked on your profile, every comment is about Rangers 😂😂😂😂😂 Strangest fans on Earth.
Si’s faces when McCall says he doesn’t know wit 6s and 8s are 🤣🤣🤣 pretending he’s no said it aboot a million times on these shows
Class guest, good effort troops
Good episode with McCall. Some career 👏
What a great guest Ian McCall was. Seems like a sound, down to earth guy who knows his stuff.
High press - closing down
Transition - Interception
Low press - park the bus
low block
Closing down and pressing are slightly different.
@ no such thing as a low press 🙈
Transition no counter attack ??
@RossCowan-w8f there definitely is, seen loads of teams sit in a low block and then trigger a press when the ball goes to a certain player or side of the pitch.
Great discussion on the County vs Hibs game from the lads
si is up there with using the word transition haha and rotations

Get him back. Great stories. Great podcast guys.
Brilliant interview Mccall is a hero
Cracking show with Andy and Ian. Always was interested in him taking the pars
Better show with andy 🙌🏽
Take heed , footballing kids of Scotland. Si Ferry doesn't rate Italian football.
I know man. What an absolute wally 🤦♂️ he’s getting worse week by week.

Be good to see Big Kev back on a show soon
Best one yet loved it
Even wee ian having ago about the new old firm podcast hahaha
McCall hates talking about Celtic. Knows everything about them 😂 Queen comment was class
He said he hates talking about both but let’s pretend he just said Celtic 🤡
Big Yogis only been relegated with his last 2 clubs boys for fuck sake. His Inverness team was about 10 years ago now
Very good this week. 👏🏻. Ian McColl a great guest. 👌
Legend has is he goes to sleep wae that pen in his hand
Big Ian chocking for a snout 😂 great show lads 👏🏼
Farce the way some folk treat staff. Neither wonder the Thistle fans chased these idiots out.
Si- “And ehhh Marc Cochrane”
Ian- “A had Marc carchonan”
Marc Corcoran
Great show lads, get Ian McCall on again please.
Brilliant episode
What a show 👏🏼

And here was me thinking because they never played this weekend they wouldn’t be the thumb nail 😂😂
😢
😂
Actually obsessed man I have never noticed the title/thumbnail of these shows in my fuckin life
Happy for you wee man 👍
😢
What's with the pen? Some sort a comfort blanket thing going on there 😂
Mel Gibson on Joe Rogan was similar.😅
My pal ran the Celtic cross pub in Barca I spent a good night with Iain in there . Was sum pub many mad nights in there
You can’t keep a player round a club that wants to leave especially Celtic
Great listen -
Pretty sure Colin Samual got a hat-trick in IM last game in charge of Falkirk v Hearts!
Why did IM say no?
"They've basically loaned him out for 18 million for 18 month" made me buckle.
Great guest!
Ian McCall deserved to be sacked as thistle manager, dropped so many points and chucked money at it under him, guy had a budget for the title and and said the week before ibrox the best we would get is 4th, such a victim attitude
Wow, I know the italian league is nowhere near the 90s, but to say it's poor is ridiculous.
Insane, probably better now than it has been for a while, lost iconic players from late 90’s that are hard to replace, that aside it’s arguably as good as it’s been for a long time.

Great pod.... best in a while
Thank god Andy is back
That was great show Ian McCall most entertaining
WTF is Halliday talking about being in total control. Outwith a pen in the first 2 mins they done nothing
Why ye greeting? Yer still pish.
Let’s go troops ❤🎉
Kyogo wants to play in a league, where opponents dont park the bus every game.Who wants to spend their best years,grafting to break a parked bus set up?!
Imagine having Ian McCall on and not asking him about Simon Stainrod's shoe.
Man U would piss that league with 20 games left what a ball bag
Only a bawbag would say ball bag
Si man stop rippin Ridvans height. It says online Ridvan is 5'9", geez a break mate I wish I was that height hahaha
😂😂😂😂 No way he's 5'9"... I take it you're 4'9.14"
Hahahaha I'm 5'6" unfortunately
He’s defo had a part in that height coming up on google cuz there’s no chance he’s that tall😂 si’s got some cheek he’s about the same size hahaha
@@DanRan98 hahahahhaa
Is Slaney forgetting he wanted Kyogo dropped for Idah a couple of weeks ago? 😂
Did Si just say mandron is one of the quickest players in the league 🤣🤣🤣
Si: "Aye Lukaku scored again" so did McTominay ya ring peice 🍩🏴
Gilmour only had 11 minutes in the League in the last 10 games, 6 of them he didn't get off the bench.
Overrated
Gilmour is unlucky he has Lobotka infront of him, one of best 6s in the world. Top 3 for me

@celticbarry9877 exactly. I have no ill will for him I just hear people, mainly rangers fans, that think he is better than he is. Otherwise he would have broke into a team like you said.
Stan Lobotka is one of the best midfielders in the world. When Napoli play in Europe next year he’ll get plenty game time.
Know who McCall is, wasn’t expecting much from this, but like many Open Goal episodes before it turns out to be really good, only being an hour and 39 mins.

Failed at Millwall. Awful
Slaney wid get the jail if he went to the baths 😂
Pet peeve - football fans calling players by their first names on the phone ins, as if they are best pals with them all.
Agree with si for a change. And slaney is wrong it had been evident since rodgers came in kyogo cant play the system
Andy 25 - 9 isn't 18 🤦♂️🤣
It's 16 son...
And let's not forget, as everyone seems to have...they paid 6.5m to bring him in initially after loan...
That's 9.5m profit minus what he earned in his 2 seasons in wages.

The pen is to stop him craving a snout.

Is that Darren Day with a bee sting allergy?
Also it was Colin Samuel , think the "was a joke" confused McCall
McCall was a great addition here btw. Bit of old school to balance out you young'ns lol
Be good if Cally stopped chewing that pen 😂
Somebody needs tell mccall that ray wilkins trevor francis mark hateley are not fuckin scottish playerz. After his comment of been while since scottish boys went over italy did well ??
Raskin 😂😂😂😂😂 fur who ya absolute mad man
Halliday can’t stand the Celtic talk - love it
Barry robson is a total pipe
Celtic never had a game at the weekend why the Celtic title????
LOL
Biggest show in town mate 👍🏼
That’s why we watch mate
@ I’m no your mate ya fenian bastard
Si going on about people moaning all they do is talk about the old firm and move on to Aberdeen. 6 mins later.. back talking about Tierney to Celtic 🤣
Could you speak about Aberdeen for more than 6 minutes?
Yer dishwashers a snider. 🤣
“No as if holty made a big deal of it or that “ Simon ferry did you even watch the game ??????? Skid marks on your tongue
Fs McCall, buy that pen a drink first
Slaneys a Meerkat awday.
Some coup getting Elton John on the pod.
Why do so many say "Ras-can" when his name is clearly "Raskin"?
Am I wrong in saying that ‘pressing’ is just trying really hard?
@lees_g you are wrong
Cause he's for-eign
why did they mention gerrard? mccalls no managed him lol
He said they were in a night out
Pet peeve: Ian McCall sitting with a pen in his hand on a podcast....doing a crossword?
Disagree with Ian on shankland he’s had 1 good season.. he’s that good he’s no even in the top 25 top goal scorers in a poor spl
Also failed in Belgium and can't get a game for scotland.
@ exactly pal not one club wanted to touch him and came back to hearts on a free has 1 decent season and everyone’s raving about him
30 isn’t even old really - think we put age into account too much
Ian McCall is not a matchday minus 1 guy lol
“In my opinion” x30
Bit aboot the queen in the dressing room🤣🤣🤣🤣
McCalls United team were awful they were always near the bottom of the table.
Laugh Griffiths would be a brilliant guest.
Come its a foul he's already been booked and warned so is a red card you bunch of fannies 😊
THE WEE HELMETS NAME AS RASKIN NO RASKAN FFS
Rennes playing in a better league, old firm fans delusional about their clubs.
Champions league and winning titles, for a player who no one else took a chance on, or France lower end team
@ He’s 30 wants to play in a better league, Rennes aren’t always mid table, they compete for European spots, he’s also had over years in the SPL, he wants to play in a better league, he’s not a fan like you. Wake up.
