RGC - A Celtic Podcast

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 ...

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...

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'...

It won't surprise you to hear that the mood of this episode is somewhat different from the last two weeks. Chris and Paul get the opportunity to vent about the game, which hopefully they found cathartic. We asked semi-regular contributor Davie Farrell to join us to give some informed content on Sunday's shambles from a coaching perspective. Spoiler alert - It's a grim listen. In fact, the whole episode is pretty downbeat, but I can't imagine you would expect anything less. The struggle to ide...

It won't surprise you to hear that there's some cheeriness among the three contributors. There's a deep dive into the game at Pittodrie (No' really) and we discuss a few of Chris's previous jobs, before moving on to events at Ibrox. Both Paul and Chris were at the game, so we talked penalties, competition winners, and a podcast exclusive on the location of one of our strikers on Sunday. Then we have some Kate Adie-style reporting from the boys about the events post-shoot-out.&nbsp...

After last week's pod title unfortunately turned out to be bang on the money we revisited the question of the goalkeeper. After an absolute shocker of a week on the park we moved away from our usual format and basically had a moan-in for half of the episode. The keeper, the defence, the midfield and the forward line all get a bit of a shoeing as does the manager. There is concern about the upcoming games, and we discuss what we think should happen if the results don't go our way. It's not a p...

A week of big games not just for Celtic but our "baw tickling" rivals too. We chat about Saturday's Great Escape, the return of The Free Broomloan and this week's league games against Livi and Killie. With our main rivals facing potentially tough games, it could be a pivotal week. Mind you, we do emphasise that it's up to us to take care of our business. There's a bit of reflection on the boycott and the possibility of a meeting between the board and the collective. It's fair to say we ...

Ah'll give ye world class basics Recorded four hours before the transfer window "slammed shut," some of it may not date well, but depressingly, we suspect it will probably still be bang on the money. We look back on two decent performances with decent results and then have a quick preview of the upcoming league and cup games. We then discuss the transfer window, and it's fair to say that we're very much in the underwhelmed camp. It's been a while since we've got a window "right" and it'...

Another "What a riddy" episode. We pick over the Falkirk game, but as we said last week, all that mattered was the three points. And we got them Sunday's game joins Stranraer in 1988, Whitehill Welfare and a few other " cup classics" as embarrassing performances/results against lower league opposition. Both of these things would be okay had we had a couple of new faces in the stand, or heaven forfend, actually on the pitch. The transfer ineptitude is the main focus of the lads' ire, esp...

Well, developments on Monday had already made one of the contributors' voice notes redundant, and we were winding up for a lengthy debate about the new manager when a text message brought any speculation to a halt. With Paul away on Collective SG business we got Davie Farrell in to take his place. We had a chat about why the emptying of Nancy was the right decision and then we had a fairly spirited discussion about Martin O'Neill getting the job until the end of the season. It's fair to say t...

Which is more than Johnny Kenny has managed to do in the last two games. It's a mixed bag this week. There's some discussion about the shambles at Tannadice with a bit of input from Davie Farrell, which you'll note was recorded just after the final whistle. We then move on to Sunday's game against Aberdeen and we genuinely look for and actually find some positives we can take from the performance. None of us are convinced by the new manager, but at least, for the first time, we could see what...

We did say when we started the pod, we wouldn't try to be knee-jerk reactionaries. Well, that shitshow on Sunday, against the backdrop of the events of the last 10 months, has put paid to any idea of us being optimistic about what lies ahead. There's a very brief review of the Dundee game, followed by a dissection of Sunday's horror show. We genuinely want Nancy to be a success, but there was a lot to worry about, and we discussed our concerns at some length. We look forward to the Roma game,...

We never promised you a rose garden... A year ago today, we released the first RGC pod, and we promised an upbeat pod, free of moaning and bed wetting. That's worked out well hasn't it? This week's pod is a bit bloody miserable with a side of righteous anger. The combination of an uninspiring win on Saturday, which followed a shambles of an AGM and a collective meeting, means there isn't much positivity around. Just a reminder that we are just three fans giving our opinions on Celtic, and...
