An irreverent, sideways look at the world of Scottish Football, hosted by Craig G Telfer, Joel Sked, Shaughan Mcguigan, Craig Fowler and Robert Borthwick, as well as a revolving subs bench of real fans who will be off around the country exploring the beautiful game and all its quirks and qualities.

A View from the Terrace will dissect the ins and outs of the Scottish footballing week just passed, and offer analysis and opinion in its own unique way. ‘Why are they s***e now?’ will see the panel forthrightly attempt to offer reason and logic for why a team are currently taking a dip in form. ‘The Boyata Index’ will have them plot the value of players on the ‘Boyata Index’, using a recent performance to value them against John Hartson’s exorbitant summer valuation of Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata of £50 million.

Looking at the action to come, the panel will showcase and dissect a team that are at a crucial juncture in their season in ‘Fork in The Road’ - or in ‘Future Headlines’ they will make predictions on what will happen this weekend based upon imagined newspaper headlines, Twitter hot takes and forum meltdowns.

As well as the current season, the panel will also delve into Scotland's footballing history to make a case to enshrine a moment of Scottish football history, for future generations to feast upon in ‘The Time Capsule’. Or reimagine Scottish football timelines to make a case for another universe where one small moment extrapolated out would bring about a very different football landscape.

They will debate the true talking points of Scottish Football in ‘See Ya Later Debater’ such as ‘Will a Scottish player ever win the Ballon D'Or?’, or ‘Will Celtic win every single competition in Scotland for eternity?’ They’ll have a bit of fun playing ‘Did You Play For? trying to guess the Scottish football legend of yore sitting in front of them, answering the question ‘Would you actually know Wayne Foster 30 years after his derby-winning goal?’.
Each week the panel will be joined by social media’s Robert Borthwick, a man known for his wit and whimsy on Twitter that riles and rallies fans of every club in equal measure. He’ll present to the panel his favourite clips, comments, GIFS and antics from the world of social media whether that’s from fans, players, teams or managers. If it’s funny, silly or mad and it happened online Rob will know, and so will you.

As well as the studio, each week will see the show punctuated by a number of segments that will range from observational documentaries like ‘Put A Shift In’ we send big hearted, wide-eyed, terrace regular and Scottish football diehard Duncan McKay to throw himself two-footed into a job around the matchday to see what life is like away from the glamour of the 90 minutes? Who is inside that giant furry mascot costume? Do referees have a WhatsApp group? What is it like to be a stadium announcer or a pie seller?

The programme will pick at the bones of some of the biggest questions, What would happen if Scotland actually won the world cup? Is it s***e supporting a team that win every week? Why don’t more Scottish players play abroad? What is it like as a young player to have the world at your feet and then ‘not make it’? Could a group of kids run Scottish Football?
It is a free-flowing yet tactically sound, silly but solid, jovial yet passionate look at football in Scotland. From the top of the pile to the hard-working lower leagues, from what happens on the pitch to what happens in between, it looks at the stars and the unheralded backroom stalwarts.
