What Are SPFL Bosses Hiding?
Feb 14, 2024 Season 2 Episode 25

Criticism of the SPFL has swung around and hit the headlines again after half of the Scottish Premiership clubs expressed their collective concern on how the game is being governed.

The independent review is analysed by Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks, along with (arguably more importantly), their own independent review of pancakes, penny sweets and cajun crepes.

Dundee's medical staff defied the referee when Michael Mellon suffered a head knock, running onto the pitch during play. Are officials not taking potential concussion injuries seriously? 

And would you still go to the football if you were blind? The team speak to Jon Attenborough, who explains what clubs can do to help their partially sighted supporters. 

Meanwhile, the Scottish Cup quarter final and Nations League draws have thrown up some tasty fixtures. Scotland, in League A, will face Portugal, Poland and Croatia.
