New episode is out and apologies for the gremlins in the last ten minutes. We talk Thistle, Red Star, Steering Group, Accounts and @pault1888.bsky.social is still bitter about last week's RGC but this week's is a Host's choice. pod.link/1781046320

If I was annoying you in here earlier, sorry for laughing.

We recorded a pod after Wednesday's meeting as our man @pault1888.bsky.social was there and has thrown his hat in ring to be part of the steering group. We talk about the meeting and raise a few concerns that we hope will turn out to be baseless in the coming weeks

The pod had a delegate at Wednesday's meeting, corporate schill @pault1888.bsky.social We get his first hand report of events at the meeting but it wouldn't be an RGC pod if we didn't flag up areas of potential concern. Hopefully events in coming weeks allay those fears pod.link/1781046320

A few people have asked if we could post the comments from @swissramble.bsky.social as they're too fucking lazy to listen to the pod. Never let it be said we're not on the side of the lazy. A great bunch of lads and no mistake Follow Kieron as he somehow managed to make the subject interesting

Incidentally, a bit of a spoiler alert, his expert view of the club statement is precisely the same as the one all the rest of us arrived at on our own.

So much for taking the International break off. The briefing against the manager and that shitshow of a statement put paid to that. Both matters get discussed, as do potential protests and how the board should look. We also have some input from @swissramble.bsky.social pod.link/1781046320

Well, the plan to take a week off has been scuppered. Lawwell briefing The Sun against the manager and then some dickhead on the board using Chat GPT to produce a statement that they release on a Saturday night has meant we'll be recording this week.

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen: 208 words Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln: 272 words Actually, It’s Not Our Fault, It’s The Mainstream Media’s Fault And Social Media’s Fault And UEFA’s Fault and Your Fault But - And This Bit’s Important - It’s Not Our Fault by Celtic Football Club: 1,030 words

Springsteen releasing electric Nebraska and a pile of demo’s and live stuff from ‘82.

Reminds me of the conversation in the Godfather between Michael and Tom Hagen "Now we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom? They might like a story like that".

🎯 Alongside the people of Liverpool, the Celtic fan base hold The Sun in utter contempt.

Ending the most torrid week the Celtic board have had in years by slipping a hatchet job story on the manager to one of the Chairman’s pet journalists in a naive attempt to shift blame is the most on-brand action they could have attempted. You can set your watch by those clowns.

bsky.app/profile/theg... You just haven’t earned it yet baby.

If you are looking for an upbeat, positive podcast about events at the weekend and the transfer window well, have we got the pod for you. Actually, any of the Liverpool ones will do the job. However if you're a Celtic supporter you'll have to make do with the three of us moaning like fuck

The pod is live and it's every bit as upbeat and positive as the events of Sunday and Monday would suggest. There's a lot of blame to go around and we are happy to point fingers and fume. How @rodneyfarmer.bsky.social was able to find an RGC this week is impressive pod.link/1781046320?v...

"On a more positive note, the good news is, we've got some nice Adidas gear on sale, so... every cloud. You're still thinking about the bad news, aren't you?"

I can

Yep, I'd back that up. Davie's insight was really interesting. I mean, it's either that or you read my blog, and let's be honest you're better off listening to someone that knows what they're talking about than reading that, right?

I'm pleased and a little nervous to share the opening of my new book, Upon A White Horse: Journeys in Ancient Britain and Ireland. I hope that you enjoy this. It will be published by @headlinebooks.bsky.social on September 11 and is available for pre-order. smallfinds.substack.com/p/small-find...

We asked Davie Farrell to join us on the pod as Paul and Jim would just rehash content from last few pods. Davie gave us some great insight and opinions on our Euro games and an overview of the squad. Thanks to Davie it's a really good listen. Here's the link to all platforms pod.link/1781046320

Man United 🤝 Celtic.

We were conscious had it only been Paul and Jim it would have been an hour of effing and blinding so we got an ex-pro in to make some sense of it. Davie Farrell makes some sense of the events of the last week. It's a good listen, we promise pod.link/1781046320

Cool heads may prevail. Host @barcajim3.bsky.social wanted to fuck off a second pod this week as he's fit to kill. However our man in the east @pault1888.bsky.social has counseled him to sleep on it. Meanwhile @rodneyfarmer.bsky.social sent a five letter contribution for use in the pod "DD GTF"

It's a cheery two-hander this week There's a reason it's cheery and that's because there is hee-haw discussion about Europe. There will be a Euro special later in the week and hopefully that will be a cheery one too. Here's the link to the pod on your preferred platform pod.link/1781046320

Great night seeing AC/DC at Murrayfield. A fitting goodbye.

After some deliberation we have decided there will be a shorter pod on Monday dealing solely with the Livvy game. Later in the week there will be a CL Special (Or more likely an EL Special) and I think, based on the content of the WhatsApp group it's not going to be particularly cheery.

Off to see AC/DC in Edinburgh tonight. Kinda a full-circle moment for me, coming up for 43 years ago I was getting ready to go to my first ever gig, AC/DC in Edinburgh… pault1888.wordpress.com/2022/10/05/f...

If I wasn’t going to see AC/DC tomorrow night I’d probably be more pissed off than I am. Truth be told, the most damning thing I can think of about tonight is that I was bored more than angry for most of it. The horseshoe of death goes continental. Banal, tedious, dreary pish.

That's right up there with Neil Sedaka's Love With Keep Us Together and Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart being recorded in the same studio.

Feargal Sharkey’s first solo single, A Good Heart, was written by Maria McKee about her breakup with Benmont Tench. His second solo single, You Little Thief, was written by Benmont Tench about his breakup with Maria McKee. bsky.app/profile/mros...

Another plug for this week's slightly subdued pod. Not because of events at Celtic more as a consequence of events in the Dolphin pub up that west end

This week's pod is live. We're all a bit tender after a big sesh at the weekend and we're waiting on Colleen Rooney to let us know if there's any truth in today's big signing rumour. Here's the link to all the places where it's available pod.link/1781046320

There's a bit more giddyness this week. We discuss Sunday and much like Sportscene on Saturday night three old blokes chat about the other results (Well one more than the others) pod.link/1781046320

That’s a really good fucking question Mo. You’ll wait a while to get an answer from those corrupt bastards though. bsky.app/profile/theg...

Off to see these guys tonight at Kelvingrove. Always great live. open.spotify.com/track/5rZvnN...

There's a lighter, more upbeat tone to this week's episode. Being honest there really was only one direction it could go. Sunday's game, Pittodrie preview and a chat about the price of tickets and the ambition of the board gets us back on familiar territory pod.link/1781046320

Enjoyed seeing Make It Happen at the Festival Theatre in That Edinburgh tonight. Brian Cox phenomenal as was Sandy Grierson as Fred Goodwin. Obviously a heavily fictionalised version of the rise & fall of RBS, but just enough in-jokes and references to trigger the old PTSD.

Taking a flier on a young local band tonight, think they’re called Teenage Fanclub. Heard good things.

Yes, Vine is a twat, but Barton is a grade A cunt and this is objectively hilarious
