Make or Break Time

Sidibeh and Saints Baffle the Pundits

Episode 226

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 • Duration 52:06

St Johnstone booked their place in the Scottish Cup quarter finals with a 1-0 win over Hamilton Accies. Their reward is a trip to face Livingston. It took a late Adama Sidibeh goal to get the job done (despite television scepticism, he DEFINITELY meant it) but it was a game in which they enjoyed significant control. Saints' possession-based game seems to be leaving the pundits cold - so what is its value? Join Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton as they discuss this, debutant performances, plus a potentially significant weekend trip to Kilmarnock.

Tuesday, January 21, 2025 • Duration 49:35

Join Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton for this week's Spoony Chop, which features - brace yourselves - discussion about a St Johnstone victory!
