Guess who's back with a brand new rap (podcast)...

In this week's short & sharp Tinpot on Tour episode, Tom, Matt, and Andrew are discussing the reintroduction of alcohol at Scottish football grounds.

All of these questions asked and answered in...

This week on Tinpot, without regular host, Tom, we’re shaking up the format. First, we hit the Main Headline in Scottish Football, keeping it sharp and to the point as we react to Rangers swinging the axe on Thelwell and Stewart. Will their exits actually change anything on the pitch? And is this bold leadership or just bowing to fan pressure?

Then we dive into our Main Topic: the growing pile of managerial vacancies — and impending vacancies — across the Championship and the Premiership. With pressure mounting at Rugby Park, we ask wh...

Back once more with their trademark chat are the Tinpot trio – Tom, Matt, and Andrew. This week, the lads dive into a heated discussion on football philosophy: does style matter more than success?
