Getting Back Onside With Dougie Imrie
Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Lester, Hammy and this week we are joined by Dougie Imrie, We talk about Scotland's performances against Poland and Austria and how draws now feel like defeats under Steve Clarke. Dougie talks us and you through his time coaching with Livingston, Accies unders and making the move to Manager at Greenock Morton. We talk football philosophy and how the game has changed so much in only the last 10 years. The quiz this week rolls back the years on Dougie's career as we put him through his paces with a Hamilton Accies quiz. With a strong 10/11 last time, how will he fair this time round?

Episode 31- Lanarkshire Classico with @PeterElder74
Hello there folks and “Weclome” back to The Armchair Pundits with Hammy Hamilton and Lester Lindsay. This week we are joined with Peter Elder (and indeed he was).
Peter is a staunch Motherwell fan so you can imagine the patter flying aboot between him n Lester given the big case of the Lanarkshire Classico entered our TV stream screens on a cold, wet, windy night at New Douglas Park. No, not the Rangers chairman…
Sit back, stick us on and get to know Motherwell Super Trooper- Peter. He certainly has few tales to tell.

Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Lester and Hammy. This week we talk about the games we had against Israel and The Faroe Islands. Steve Clarke has accumulated 5 points from the first 3 games which, for us, is actually quite good. We look to have more selection problems as every player is really stepping up and doing it in navy blue. We talk about those who played and give our opinions on who should be at the Euros.
PS Hammy has a stinker in Quarantine Questions.
Episode 27 - How Was That Not a Penalty?

We get to hear the hard work that Martindale has put in to Livingston over the past 7 years, if you don't love him already then this will surely change your mind. We put Euan's Livi knowledge to the test in Quarantine Questions and Hammy provides you all once more with a cracker of an Epic-Demic Exam.

EPISODE 24- Next Celtic Manager, Howe Come?
Hello there folks and "weclome" back to the Armchair Pundits with Lester and Hammy.
This week we have Celtic supporter, Michael Crielly (or just Michael) (or just Crielly) to discuss the wrong doings at Celtic this season.
We go into vast depth on who's to blame, off the park incidents and on the park calamities before discussing who we think the next Celtic manager should be. That being said, its also worthy of us to point out that we examine who we think will get appointed by new the Celtic CEO, Dominic McKay which takes our suggestions completely out the window.
After this, we have to discuss the absolute thriller in the Flemish region of Belgium backed by another absolute roller-coaster at the blue side of Glasgow. What a game, what a story. Lets all go back to Nathan Pattersons gaff to rejoice one said over the cuckoos nest.
Oh yes, there's also a Scottish League Cup Final this weekend. I promise we will fully analyse this in next weeks show.
Lastly, "Crielly" does the GUEST Quarantine Questions and Lester gives you his ever present (except last weeks) EPIC-Demic Exam.
Episode 23 - Beers and Bomb Scares With Bill Orr.
Episode 22 - Who Climbed Kilimanjaro?
Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Lester and Hammy. it's been a quiet week in the world of Scottish football, a few games here 'n' there, a few goals and the newly outed Hammy gets grilled on Rangers performance against Hamilton. We give you a bit more of an insight into our lives. We also cover Tommy Wright's return to the Scottish game with Kilmarnock.
Lester bombs in the quiz, but you're used to that by now.
Episode 21 - A Saucy Experience
Episode 20 - Way Big Shane Duffy at The Back
Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Lester Lindsay and Hammy Hamilton. In this weeks show we talk about all the big talking points from another mental week of Scottish soccerball.
From Peter Lawwell announcing his intended retirement at the end of the season to the sad death of Celtic hero and probably the best Slovak manager of all time- Dr Jo Venglos.
We also speak about somewhat of the very little transfer business the Scottish game has relished over the past week to keep you informed.
Also, you didn't think that we would go a week without talking about Davy Martindale, did you? Well, of course the fit and proper man is in there as well. Oh, and thats right he's took the Livi Lions into their first Hampden final since 2004, which they won. Just because their manager is a hero though, take nothing away from St Johnstone who have made a huge statement in the Semi against Hibs, beating them 3 goals to Nil.
Then, St Mirren. We did say all the big talking points from the week would be discussed and so our team of the week St Mirren have been on fire.
Their midweek result at Dundee United was surprising but you can say it was less of a surprise when Ilkay Durmus was up against big Shane Duffy at the weekend.
Can Lester get more than a 6 on the quarantine questions this week?
Last up its the ever present: EPIC-demic Exam.
Good "Ebening" and "Weclome" to The Armchair Pundits...

Sit back, listen and be prepared to be in for a surprise! Is Hammy a Celtic or a Rangers fan?
Episode 19 - The Season of Statements.
Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Lester Lindsay and Hammy Hamilton. In this weeks show we talk at good length about Neil Lennon's rant to the media where he spoke about pretty much every topic there has ever been but any listener was still left wanting more. More answers, more laughs, more patter and more clarification on pretty much everything he spoke about. We also go through the retaliation statement made by St. Johnstone, Kilmarnock's loan appeal and Ross County pumping Aberdeen. David Martindale has found himself in the lime light once again, are the SFA being too harsh on a reformed character? finally, should VAR be in the Scottish game?
Hammy has a belter in quarantine questions as well btw.

Bonus! David Martindale
Hello there folks and welcome back to The Armchair Pundits with Hammy Hamilton and Lester Lindsay. This weeks bonus episode is dedicated to David Martindale. the man on fire at Livi just now.
