After the LASK shambles, your host and Paul are in their usual seats to discuss the game. Chris decided to lock himself in a bothy in the Hebrides, so we had to bring in The Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to cast his trained eye over the shi*show that was the defeat in Austria. Worryingly, the trained eye reveals that it was even worse than you thought, so as you can imagine, this is not an upbeat episode, and there is very little in the way of positivity. We are currently in negotiat...

It started with a message in the WhatsApp group: "There's been a purchase from JD Sports, but who for Kammy?" It ended with some spectacular grassing and an unconvincing attempt at an explanation, and that's before we got onto the events of the last week. There's a review of the game at the weekend, a look forward to the CL qualifiers, plus a discussion on transfer business. There is some positivity in that we're somewhat prepared but we should be in a better position. That said, we are...

As you can imagine, there is something of a change in mood compared to last week's pod. It's a broadly upbeat recording with a soupcon of giddiness. Oddly enough, a convincing 90-minute performance, giving Neil McCann a bad day at the office, plus the potential emergence of a new hero will do that to men of a certain age. Obviously, events in Govan on Sunday are discussed and enjoyed, and we take some pleasure from the undoubted discomfort that Derek McKlopp felt at full time. Of course...

It stays the same. Our man in the east was unavailable, so it was only right that we arranged for The Fenian Red Adair (© T Grieg) AKA Davie Farrell, to step in. We review Monday night's game, and it's not particularly uplifting. Davie casts doubt over our defensive strategy at set pieces in particular, plus he is very concerned about physical and match fitness. Our attention then turns to the transfer window and our strategy (no laughing at the back), or more accurately, lack of strategy. It...

We're back for season 26/27, and we're as positive and upbeat as ever... Actually, there is a bit of truth in that statement, as we're not as grumpy in this episode as you'd expect. Only because we are still clinging on to a slim hope that it might all turn out right in the end. We discuss summer musical highlights so far. Discuss our transfer activity so far (No laughing at the back, please) and what might transpire in the coming weeks. We discuss our realistic expectations for the season ah...

A bit of a one-off episode this. We asked (Dr) Paddy Hoey onto the pod to talk about a book about football, This Is Our Game. It's a collection of writing from fans in the great football cities around the world, and Paddy wrote the chapter on Glasgow. It's a great read and available here https://www.augustbooks.co/books/this-is-our-game-joel-rookwood-and-daniel-fieldsend/ Paddy is great value, and for those who have an interest in football around the world, it sounds like a g...

The plan was to hold off on recording an episode until the full managerial team was confirmed. However, nothing involving the Celtic board is ever straightforward or professional, so we decided we could at least have a chat about Martin getting the job. Obviously, there's a bit more enthusiasm from some of the pod team than from others, but essentially, among the available options, we accept that he's the preferred choice. The transfer window is another cause for concern and we touch on that ...

The host returned from his holiday, meaning we could finally record the end-of-season pod. Paul and Chris talk us through their day at the cup final sponsored by Baby Guinness, it would appear. We then review the current squad and play a very sh*t version of Shag Marry Avoid. "Staying, Going, and Should Be Going" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. The outcome is that a major overhaul is on the cards, which leads us nicely into a discussion about who will carry it out. Media reports at th...

As the pod heid bummer, Paul was up that Italy over the weekend he takes the host's chair for this week's episode. Obviously, there's a huge amount of joy about Saturday, and it appears that the utter headloss from everyone about the Motherwell game increased the desire to win on Saturday. We discuss the game and the post-match scenes like the grumpy old men we are. Of course, we talk about the final on Saturday and the prospect of a domestic double. There won't be a pod next week, so w...

What should be another incredibly giddy recording is somewhat derailed as we react to people absolutely losing their sh*t over what was a handball. The level of outrage has taken us all by surprise. As Paul is currently honing his spaghetti wrangling skills in Italy, Davie Farrell steps in for this recording Davie does an excellent ex-pro explanation of what happened, and Chris calls all of Davie's pals in the media a shower of c*nts. Classic case of playing to your strengths. We look forward...
