Maybe we aren't ready to win multiple games in a row..win one draw one lose one or any variation in that order . It's beyond any sensible explanation . Rather like your REO Speedwagon rendition Alec , no logical reasoning as to why it should appear there as big Phillipe runs out of using the" phrase in that way" to explain our away performances ..but we do know our guys will work harder and harder until we stumble upon the magic formula that allows us to win and win and win ..you get the idea . Many thanks for your efforts !!

Another classic Eck. Took me on wee stroll through the years there. Beautifully crafted. As per usual...

Ach Alec I fear your too young to have experienced the joy of the Old Grey Whistle Test & whispering Bob Harris - and a really funky harp riff intro 😂💙

Brilliant big fella 👏 👍🇪🇸🇪🇸

Did you own one of the Amstrad cpc computers by any chance?

Can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers! Folks don’t know what they’re missing. I blame the modern disease - short attention spans. Keep it going sir..

Thanks ‘Eck 👏👏👏 Clement clearly needs to strengthen the squad, let’s hope the board can help him do that ❤️🤍💙

Igemane was sharp but both defences were pish tbh.

A bit annoyed by yesterday’s result, but buzzing with Igemanes goals. Folk will be joining your pod for the chat and not the football Eck at this rate, a great listen. I met those guys when I was a pole. I got a wee ski jump nose that reminds me. I think they already had the coke. Now I’m like Billy Perry, my day and touchdown will come.

Liked your glass half full intro. Aberdeen's slump is remarkable. We just couldn't kepp it going v Hibs. I thought Hibs responded well. At least we can enjoy Igamane in the remaining league fixtures.

You’re actually quite good at this. It’s a good listen big man. And I follow the other side 😉

Just brilliant 😂👏

Upstairs at Eric’s, what an album that is Eck. In my opinion, Midnight is one of the best album tracks of all time. The video of them live in 2008 doing that song and hearing the crowd sing every note is a fantastic KZbin moment.

The best start to a pod I've ever listened to Alex. Couldn't stop me from reminiscing about my teenage years being brought up in an east end of Glasgow housing scheme in the late sixties and the seventies. Leather coats and bomber jackets, harringtons, high waistband trousers, staypress trousers, oxblood doc martens, and ben sherman shirts......all bought with provy cheques that your mum and dad supplied 😂. Great memories with a few dodgy encounters. I could howl a bit about yesterday's game, but you covered it all. Simply the best.

Loved all the stories Alec especially the one about the funeral what did the girlfriend say when you got there’ 😅and the football stuff as always 🔴⚪️🟣

Alex I know you usually use the first part of your pod to part the wheat from the chaff, but can I just say your using some remarkably funny ( classic) material, so it might not have the effect intended, a suggestion might be editing some airfiix models and british tanks and use that for the first 30 min, so the viewers in the know, can slip right into the top class patter. Many Thanks Again for cheering up the troops

Good news Alec, the views I suspect will be back up to normal levels! I am always glad to see small businesses doing well.

Sorry , that should have read "langour ' not language

Thanks, Eck. Honest and thoughtful appraisal of how you feel today about your team. Loved the walk back down the road of your youth- to quote Evelyn W character Charles Ryder- 'The language of Youth- how unique and quintessential it is, how quickly, how irrecoverably lost!" More power to ya, fella!

Great stories Eck,im convinced you could take 2 hours to talk about Boiling an Egg 😃😃😃

Classic Eck, although a soul man I remember some classic tracks you speak of. Styx (Babe 1979) Reminds me of the old ‘slow dances’ at the end of the Disco evenings, only open late because they served ‘basket suppers’ Took me right back to even school discos !! Even had a Souness ‘soft perm’ at the back of ma napper !! Last night ‘Rangers just doing Rangers things’ Nuff said Alec. Keep em coming big yin. Gaz

BigMan, firstly a HNY to you and all the bears (and non bears) that follow you! I too have just reached the 36 minute point of todays story…. Priceless mate! From you once upon a time being skinny, having hair, loving your grub, retro music, early life in ardrossan, fighting in Glasgow, hair salons in Broomhill etc etc etc….. I’ve actually decided not to listen to the rest, as it’ll be about our RFC, which will in no way be as much fun as the first 36 minutes! Alex, here’s to a wonderful 2025, thanks again for being you, please remember that Health is Wealth and yes, We are the People 🇬🇧

Thank you for another informative and entertaining listen Sir! Unfortunately our sloppiness from the vast majority of our eclectic starting 11 killed us! The number of cheap set pieces we allowed Hibs throughout the match was unacceptable- the only way those physical / basic teams score goals from! It is simply naive to do so when we know our back up keeper is too small for those sort of games and our make shift defence isn’t strong enough to deal with crosses or long throws! However I am convinced their penalty was a foul on Hagi and we should have been awarded a penalty at the end when the ball clearly strikes the Hibs defenders outstretched arm to then allow them to clear the ball! Many thanks for the call out - however I fear my prize is another stressful ‘away day’ watch on Thursday unless the weather gods are kind to us and get the game postponed! 🤣🤣🤣 back to work today with less of a Hop, Skip and a Jump than expected! Keep up the good work.

Good Charlotte or findus crispy pancake centric meanderings into performance art canny put me off.

Wonderful stuff. Better than the football.. 😂

Listening to Jon and Vangelis at the moment Eck, brilliant.

Morning Alec I’m 36 minutes into your speel and it’s the best story I’ve ever heard Thank you

It's getting a bit to much now how bad we have become got bad feeling about Patrick stewart midweek interview about transfers

The nights are very dark as are the mornings. Wisdom of the ages Eck :)

Nothing new , been poor since March . Won’t improve until we get rid of clement !

Celtic fan - your monologues are sublime.

I genuinely don't know whether to be entertained or depressed. This is my life through the eighties. HELP!

I bet the Patriots that year mid season at 25/1. Didn't do it each way.

Yacht Rock.

Just brilliant, I'm a similar age and the cultural references are all too familiar 😂 Similar story re being thin and having hair.

Everything was going good at 2nil watching the game on telly my wife said we need to get this Christmas tree down deccys etc I'm like ffs the game is on and we are in control starts the clearing up bobbles on the floor tinsel all over the carpet place needs hoovered too few empty cans under the Christmas tree nips back in hibs just scored I'm saying to myself I've just jinxed the team anyways starts getting tree back in box her moaning about Christmas lights wrap them properly etc nipped back in too room 2 each I like I'm deffo a jinx the day the mind was working overtime maybe alcohol withdrawal could hear more noise from telly peeped in we are 3 -2 up hoovering carpets bagging rubbish dusting etc have the place spick and span I'm like should I peek in yes or no don't want to jinx anymore all paranoia in my part alex what will be will be went sod it going in to see the score was getting to me just stepped in still 3 -2 walking out the room door to take bags to the bin and hibs equalised I'm like what did you do that for you had no right to go back in and see what the score was curiosity killed the cat another great rabble alex 80s music was class and the haircuts 😅 football success is a fine margin as you know alex my wee documentry tonight was about the Russian revolution love watching history programmes that's me off the ale to 2025 next weekend 😅😅😅 best alex Wes

The point you make about setpieces is pertinent, and as one who follows these stats, rangers' deficiencies both defending them and executing them is salient and also, historically , anomalous for the club. Perhaps significantly, Dundee have the highest proportion of goals from setpieces to total goals in the last two seasons.

I felt that following the strong performance against Celtic on Thursday, the mask of Rangers' makeshift backline slipped.

Taylor dane Blackpool 87, first love ❤️ holiday romance ,week-long love affair , love sick for weeks , climee fisher on repeat 🤣 skinny drunk in linikers winching not a care in the world .

I have only been visiting Glasgow since 2005, so I think I have somewhat missed out on the days when people used to come up to you and attack you in the street for no reason. My understanding is that the law and order situation improved when they got rid of the housing from the centre and introduced schemes to enable people with criminal records to enter the workplace. I suspect, however, that there are a lot of gaps in my understanding / perception.

Okay so first things first. May have been a bit quiet as I waited for the world to stop spinning so fast but I (and a few other staunch puddle drinkers I will hazard) am here. Even listed to yer fucking gersnet as a sign of solidarity and unabashed support. Still love you even though you are prancing about milking this win. Still the best granda on an eccy in the whole internet.

Alec this one is awesome! one of your best pal I laughed and smiled so many times and by the way the Rangers stuff was good too! watched this this morning before I went to my pals to watch the Hibs game but that is another story, thank god for Igamane 😂

Class😂😂😂

brilliant start to the video 😂😂😂 I'm feeling good for the day at Easter road I would go with the same team as thursday nico raskin stays captain .. if we turn up we'll beat them .. 🔴⚪🔵

Thanks Alec !! Have a healthy 2025 #sports_science😊

Eck, your first 5 minutes had me in stitches. It reminds me of many post Bangkok Bear mornings, having to remind myself I’m actually in Thailand not in my birth city of Eberdeen. I’m trying to stick to Diet Coke tonight to watch our (hopeful) 3 points at Easter Road. I’m thankful when reading your comments that there are ‘some’ ‘nice’ Celtic comments. There are those that I wonder, why they bother. Keep up the good work Eck. Gaz

😂😂 two scarves stitched together

Eck - terrific pod, as usual and as many have observed an absoblooteringly brilliant opening. But ye brought it all back tae me pal; I had just started the recovery from my red wine hangover - aka 'the wrath of grapes' ! Here's hoping we start all over again doon Leith Road, and the temptation tae BEVVY again will be right in our face - all over the Hibees shirts. I'm willing tae give in to temptation if you are, as long as the boys give us plenty of reasons to do so. I would walk 500 hundred miles !

Brilliant big man. Bringing in killing Joke no less. Can only be topped if you reference Mark E Smith and the mighty Fall. Get on it

Hilarious, informative, engaging and entertaining as usual Alec! Loving the Greggs hangover cure description (accurate) and random burst into New Year's Day 😀. Agree about the anti-intellectual nonsense regarding sports science. Keep up the good work and take care 👍.
