An avid football fan and armchair pundit, he is dedicated fan of Kilmarnock FC but has recently taken a wander into the terrifying world of First Division football at Firhill. You might have come across him stammering his way through an interview on BBC World Service but more than likely you’ve just read rumours about his love-making prowess scratched into walls of toilet cubicles all over Scotland.
A hired gun that we’re not actually paying for. This is a good thing for us. He knows a lot more than he thinks he does and would like to make that quite clear. He’s not scared of you and he’s definitely not scared to share an opinion. He’ll do it in a polite way though. So polite that you won’t know what’s hit you until it’s over and you’ve resurrected some serious psychological issues.
Adam is a Geordie journalism graduate and aspiring patter merchant who decided to cash in all his chips and up-sticks down to London. His life now consists of penning his thoughts on life, love and football for such reprehensible organisations as The Sabotage Times, Trisickle Magazine and, of course, here at Scheidt’s Footballing Miscellany. His dad may have played for Scotland at some point, but don’t hold that against him. He takes milk, no sugar, and you can give him a piece of your mind at @AdamClery.
Euan is the dark heart of Scheidt’s Footballing Miscellany. Normally a “pretentious” music writer for The Fly magazine and his own blog Nous Aimons Danser, he and Michael Park started the beginning of the end for football blogs and here we are. Likely to start bogus rumours about players and does a weekly review that robs him of what little happiness is left in his life. Has a beef for Frank Ribery, and just wants the best for James Forrest, Celtic and Scotland.
Suhail Seedat is a graduate in Accounting and Finance so naturally he decided to pursue a career in journalism. A huge admirer of James Richardson which led to a fascination of eating ice cream while perched beside the town hall fountain, recreating the famous images of legendary TV show ‘Gazetta Football Italia’. Through laziness, he is supporting Movember all year round.
Findlay is SFM’s North American correspondent and can be seen frequently “wasting” his time beating his flatmates at FIFA with the New York Red Bulls. Whilst in America last year, he had the distinct honour of scoring a screamer against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, making a mockery of the world’s largest phallic symbol at the same time. Ever since that historic moment, he has been looking for a way to top it so became a journalism student. Unconventional.
As one of our resident Glaswegians, Stefan lives up to the stereotypes. He supports Celtic, but is more often seen at Firhill watching Partick Thistle or Hampden watching Queens Park, he’s the indirect voice of the little people. He will, without doubt, contradict himself whenever he can. If football was music, he’d be roaming the alternative and classical aisles of a back street record shop.
Either Scotland’s most unsuccessful successful comedian or most successful unsuccessful comedian depending on how you look at it, Teddy has been a stand-up for thirteen years. He finds it difficult to argue with the words “don’t you think if you’ve been going that long you should be much better than you are?” Despite this, occasional flirtations with success saw him come runner-up in the Scottish Comedian of the Year Finals in 2008 and 2009, before being named ‘Best Up and Coming Comedian’ at the Scottish Variety Awards in 2010. He’s written for various TV & Radio shows, many of them thankfully before Twitter existed for you to slag them and him off on. He is a Rangers fan but is equally at home being roundly abused by supporters of all clubs. Among his most treasured footballing memories is a pilgrimage to Kyiv to see Dynamo, when Milevskiy read the script and beat five men to set up one of the goals in a 6-0 win over Tavriya Simferopol.
Christopher Ferguson has, on occasion, been described as a polymath. When he’s not waxing lyrical about tactics, formations and Roberto Mancini’s understated brilliance he’s either completing a PhD or blessing the Partick Thistle podcast ‘Jagscast’ with his dulcet tones. Not only that, he’s also a helluva guy.
Hello, I am Tom Johnson and will be breaking my football blogging cherry with Scheidt’s Footballing Miscellany and am rather chuffed to be doing so. I am self confessed football geek and love all aspects of the game with money, gamesmanship and Robbie Savage aside. I support Sheffield Wednesday, something I have long regretted, and will be trying not to be too bias in my weekly review of the big stories of the football league. I hope you enjoy my writing.
