About SkyrScout

Started SkyrScout as a YouTube channel and has since shown very little ability to leave well enough alone. What began as a place for scouting videos has gradually expanded into a wider project covering player reports, the Scout of This World podcast, music, statistics and whatever new idea seemed perfectly reasonable at the time.

Hosts Scout of This World and serves as the creative and editorial force behind SkyrScout, shaping how the project looks, sounds and presents its work. His scouting leans towards the bigger picture: spotting patterns, connecting information and asking whether a player, idea or development deserves a closer look.

Also makes the original music released through 404 Bon Blondes and remains responsible for most new branches of the project, usually after asking a question that probably should have been left unanswered.

Chief Scout and the relentless engine behind much of SkyrScout's scouting work. Produces the vast majority of the player videos, writes most of the full scouting reports and prepares the backbone of the scripts for Scout of This World.

Follows developments around “our players”, keeps Bon Scout supplied with updates and, perhaps most importantly, actually takes the time to work out what the numbers mean before drawing conclusions from them. His enormous work capacity and discipline keep a large part of the project moving forward.

On the podcast he has mastered the rare ability to talk on both inhale and exhale, and is never afraid to crack the whip in Rosenborg's direction when required. Which, in recent years, has been quite often. He also promotes the podcast on Diskutopia, apparently because scouting, writing, video production and talking were not enough.

One of the original sparks behind the scouting side of SkyrScout. Pippen wanted a place to contribute his own player observations and has a natural eye for spotting potential from match footage.

All three members of the crew trust the eye test, but Pippen's particular strength is the ability to form a strong early read from very limited evidence — and to be annoyingly right about it with remarkable frequency.

His profiles are built around what he actually sees: movement, technique, decision-making, physical qualities and those little moments that make you stop the video and look again. Output can arrive on its own timetable, but the hour-long Kevin Benkič production remains Exhibit A for what happens when he really gets his teeth into a player.
