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...

What a fantastic day, actually, that was a good weekend, wasn't it? As you can imagine, there's a lot of giddiness to go around. Our review of events at Celtic Park takes up the first bit of the pod and we have a right good laugh at 'thaym', their manager, their captain and their fans Then we move on to the carnage that followed in the pub afterwards, and there's a gig review from Chris and Paul and a frankly incredible choice of post-pub/pre-gig scran by our man in the West A preview o...

That was the weekend that was... Our men in the East and West were both at Easter Road on Sunday and we get their views on a game that wasn't short of incidents. A game that we should have won, easing up, ended up in a nervy last ten. It's as if Celtic have forgotten they are based in the heart disease capital of Europe. We look forward to the Derby on Sunday and have a right good laugh at events at Tynecastle on Monday evening. There are a few tennis puns and some chat about the POTY awards ...

As you can imagine, there is cheeriness by the bucketload in this week's episode. We came within a bawhair of the perfect footballing weekend. An unconvincing convincing 3-1 win for Celtic, a hilarious win for Well and were it not for Hibs doing what Hibs do, we could have been in the box seat for the run-in. We look forward to next week, and arguably, by the time we record the next episode, we should have a much clearer picture of who is likely to win the league. In other news, t...

You’d think a six-two victory in a semi-final against Premiership opposition would be a cue for an upbeat and giddy podcast. Well, no, it wasn’t. Podcast big boss and head honcho Paul is in Spain, leaving his two underlings to hold the fort. Davie Farrell steps in and, unusually, he gets to talk about a game we actually won. However, it has to be said, he isn’t entirely positive about Sunday’s performance. Without it being a spoiler, Davie has a fairly revolutionary idea that we should...

There was a full turn out of the podcast team at Saturday's game, so Chris has taken over hosting for this week's episode. We look back at Saturday's game and the post-game sesh before looking forward to Sunday's semi. Despite the win the mood in the camp isn't particularly cheery. We take the opportunity to look at each department of the team and in truth there's not a lot of positivity in that regard either. We hold our own POTY award and goal of the season and it's slim pickings and no mis...

Finally, a win in Dundee means there's a bit of a change in the mood from the last pod after a game up there. We go over the events of a welcome win at Dens, look forward to Saturday's game, and discuss the potential post-split fixtures, too. Our man Paul chaired the most recent Collective meeting, so he gives a little update from Thursday's meeting. Martin's suggestion that he would be open to a longer stay gives us a reason to discuss his staying on for another year. It's fair to say there'...
