  3. On this week's episode we split the show in two. The first part will be all about Scotland, including a look back to our victory against Macedonia and a preview to our must win match against the imperious Dutch at Hampden. We'll also bring back Top 5 for this weeks show as we look back over the years at some of the 'glorious failures' that seem to define us as a football nation. This weeks Where are they Now? is also a Scotland legend in honour of our game on Wednesday. The second half of the show will be bringing things back to a domestic level. We'll have all the news from the lower leagues including a failed appeal for Livingston and all the action from the Alba Challenge Cup where the quarter finals took place at the weekend. The SPL is back too, and we'll have a preview of the top-tier action this week, including potential debuts for some last minute acquisitions as the transfer window slammed shut last week; and we introduce Punt of the Week (Not to be confused with a rhyming feature, that George Peat would feature in this week) where we give an insight into what's looking a good value coupon this week in Scotland. Remember to check out the Predictions League. E-mail us at theterrace@scotzine.com to join, and thats also the address to simply drop us a line, we'd love to hear from you about the show, any new features, your thoughts on the weeks action - whatever.

  5. We will have a guy selling them outside Hampden on the corner of Aitkenhead Road and Hangingshaw Place from aout 1pm - but it will certainly be at Aitkenhead Road side of the ground - said he will be wearing a 1982 Scotland World Cup jersey - home one. The East Stand side of Hampden that is - for those who don't know. ASDA side.
  6. It's an especially packed episode of The Terrace this week, with a tumultuous week gone by and a big Scotland game to come on Saturday. We'll obviously look back on a big weekend of SPL action, including the irony-laden talking point at Easter Road on Sunday afternoon. We'll take a good look at the groups that face Rangers and Celtic in their upcoming European campaign. With August now almost a distant memory we will have our first set of monthly awards. Who will walk away with The Terrace Player, Young Player, and Manager of the Month award for August? And of course we have Scotland versus Macedonia this Saturday. A game which could define George Burley's WC'10 campaign, we will look ahead to that game, and pick our ideal Scotland starting line-up ? as it's starting to look like Burley can't be trusted to do it! SFL round-up, Where are they Now?, and the injury time news-in-brief complete this weeks show. Enjoy. Episode 5
  7. action has already been taken he was booked and then sent off for it. Smith stuck his nose into the Eduardo incident because the Arsenal striker conned the ref and got away with it. And on top of McGeady incident Christian Nade dives in the box ala Eduardo style and gets booked for it also.
