10: When Faddy scored from forty miles

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Anthony Joseph brave the studio to discuss an international break that has made them feel totally Scottish. It was a horror show in Haifa in the Nations League before a home humbling against Portugal. Are the new Scotland just too new? Stefan Bienkowski from the Two Point One is cynical of the cynicism and thinks this is the beginning of a long-term project under Alex McLeish. But it’s more fun to look back than it is forward. So, we reminisce about one night in Paris where James McFadden scored from an ever-changing distance to beat France as the Tartan Army dreamed of qualification for Euro 2008 - under a young manager by the name of McLeish. Peter Martin, he of the iconic commentary on Radio Clyde, gives us his version of events. Whether you were in The Bobbin or the bog, it was one of the greatest nights to be a Scotland fan. And on a broader point, was the 2007/08 season the best season ever for Scottish football? • PART 1: Introduction + JJ’s written a song (0m 00s) • PART 2a: Israel 2-1 Scotland (2m 50s) • PART 2b: Scotland 1-3 Portugal with Stefan Bienkowski from the Two Point One (8m 50s) • PART 3a: One Night In Paris: Scotland’s qualifying campaign beforehand (14m 00s) • PART 3b: Interview with Peter Martin, Radio Clyde commentator that night in Paris, now at PLZ Soccer (19m 00s) • PART 3c: That Scotland team that beat France (24m 00s) • PART 3d: What happened after Paris?
