The most petty and ill informed podcast in the World (Cup)! It's time, after nearly 30 years of waiting the Odd Couple of Scottish football get to savour the excitement of Scotland at the biggest show on earth. Stuart and Tam are joined by snooker legend John Higgins. We got the beep machine out to hear what Scotland, Motherwell and Celtic great Paul Lambert really thought of France '98 opponent Rivaldo. Noble Prize winner David MacMillan tells us what the Boston-buzz is like from the States and we have live music from Mull Historical Society. We also get the post-match thoughts from World Cup analyst John Walker.
