“Loved the podcast when Iain was hosting it, but it’s focused too heavily on tactics / training now. Seems to be turning into more of a game manual than an enjoyable entertaining listen on the game we love.”

“Absolutely loved this podcast when Iain Macintosh was hosting but feel a little lost with the new path it is taking.
The conversation is a little more reductive now, the questioning of guests is a little less probing and the new segment about training players in a new position is quite painful...”Read full review »

The little nuggets of advice have helped my FM career and it’s so good listening to other people’s stories. The last show had me in stitches over the...”Read full review »

“Ian MacIntosh is engaging and brings a positive feeling while brining the best out of his guests. You will learn stuff while chuckling along to his self effacing humour. I am not even playing the game right now and still enjoy the craic.”

Iain is a club icon, whatever he asks for he should be given. If he wants more money available for his assistant manager wages, fine. If he wants more FM content in The Athletic and continuous FM podcasts he should be given it.”
