Hodgeythehack — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:00:00 +0000

After leaving it a couple of days following the Croatia defeat, Stefan Carlin of the 'Di Stefano Talks' podcast is back on #TheTartanDaily with Hodgeythehack for our last hurrah.

We reflect on the game, the tournament as a whole, and offer our ratings for the final game.

There's also some thought to what lies ahead and why negativity is not helpful.

#12 The banter is high – with Old Firm Facts

Hodgeythehack — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 09:00:00 +0000

#TheTartanDaily is pleased to welcome Mr Old Firm Facts himself, Adam Miller, to the podcast.

As one of the most humorous satirical voices on the Scottish game, Adam gives us his thoughts on the TV coverage of the tournament and Scotland's fans' outstanding levels of patter and antics on the national pilgrimage to London.

He also gives his views on the team, Billy Gilmour's injury and what the whole of football can learn from the Cristian Eriksen incident.

This is the second of two Tartan Daily podcasts on a bumper day!

Hodgeythehack — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 08:45:00 +0000

Stefan Carlin of the 'Di Stefano Talks' podcast is back on #TheTartanDaily once again to rate the players just as he did after the Czech Republic game.

Except this time, they're a lot higher after one of the best Scotland performances in our history at major tournaments!

We reflect on the game and what we did for it before diving in to our ratings for the Wembley heroes – and then react to the news of Billy Gilmour's COVID-19 diagnosis as the news broke.

This is the first of two Tartan Daily podcasts on a bumper day – to make up for the fact that poor internet curtailed yesterday's offering!

Lauren Cahill, who has joined Hodgeythehack on a pilgrimage to Wembley previously, and Simon Beans of the 'Fitz Bean Happenin' podcast join #TheTartanDaily for a look ahead to Friday – and some more measured reflections on Monday now that it's been a couple of days.

#3 Billy The Wonderkid – with Sean Kenney

Hodgeythehack — Sat, 12 Jun 2021 09:00:00 +0000

The latest episode of The Tartan Daily sees focus turn to Billy Gilmour.

The Chelsea midfielder was brought up in Ardrossan in Ayrshire and Sean Kenney has been aware of his talent from a very young age.

As a good friend of the family, Sean – who is the boss of junior outfit Ardeer Thistle – will offer his insights on what makes the Three Towns wonderkid so special.

#2 But they forgot about Che – with Mark Duffy, Neil Doherty and Will Turner

Hodgeythehack — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Hodgeythehack focuses Episode 2 of The Tartan Daily on Scotland's newest "signing", Che Adams.

After agreeing to represent Scotland, the Southampton forward has impressed in dark blue and scored the winner against Luxembourg in our final friendly.

But his story is even more fascinating as he gone from playing non-league football to hopefully playing a starring role at the Euros!

Hodgey is joined by sports journalists Mark Duffy (who saw him in the non-league with Ilkeston Town as a teenager), Will Turner (who watches him week-in, week-out at Southampton) and Scottish fitba author Neil Doherty.

#1 Commentators' preview – with Rory Hamilton and Andy Bargh

Hodgeythehack — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Two Scottish commentators with gigs working on Euro 2020 (and little old me, with nothing 🤪) join me to preview what to expect in Scotland's major first tournament in 23 years.

We also share our fairly distant memories of Scotland's past major tournament excursions in this opening episode of The Tartan Daily.

Rory Hamilton, the Scottish voice of BT Sport's great coverage, and Andy Bargh, creator of The Hampden Roar podcast who will be commentating on Scotland vs the Auld Enemy for TalkSPORT, are with me for the first episode.
