Ode to Host

‘It’s Season Four, Episode Nine,”
He says each week, deadpan and on time.
No one asked, but now we know –
He tracks the seasons like a pro. 

The guests arrive in varying states,
Some early, most are three cans late.
The mics don’t work, our scripts are loose-
He cracks a can and cuts us loose. 

Each week we gather, chat and spar, 
Inside the Scottish Football Fans Forum. 
From VAR rage to kits that are wrong,
He nods along and keeps it strong. 

He guides the chat when it derails,
Corrects our myths and half-baked tales. 
He sits through takes that hurt the brain-
Not just our host. He’s more than just a podcast friend. 

The socials never quite take flight,
Despite his “Share it!” every night. 
He tweets, he pleads, posts full of grace –
Where we just ghost and show no face. 

To the man who runs the show,
The calm amid our football flow.
We’d just be noise without his grind – 
Thank you, John. You’re one of a kind.
