RGC - A Celtic Podcast

The episode title will make sense, but not until the very end of the recording.It's a mixed bag tonight; technical issues forced us to restart the recording. Some Phil Collins-related GOLD  fell by the wayside, much to the annoyance of our man in the east.Paul gave us a bit of an update from last week's collective meeting. As you can imagine, Nancy getting bagged changed the mood at that meeting as it did on our podcast recording.The two boys discuss Saturday's game against United and we asked Davie Farrell to drop in a voice note as we'd leaned on him quite a lot and thought it would be nice for him to be positive about a Celtic performance.The positivity dissipated somewhat when we turned our attention to the transfer window. Let's just say there's not much confidence that whoever is pulling the strings at the moment will get the players we need through the door.The pod finishes with another voice note from "Part-time Tim", Justin Moorhouse, one of the best comedians in the country and host of the Manchester United podcast "The Good Days Are Coming", who was at the game on Saturday, sitting with Chris.You can decide who gets the RGC of the week from the people he mentions in the voice noteThanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

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 that, amid the happiness that Nancy is gone and Martin is in, we discuss whether he should be given longer. Two say no, one says yes.We have an absolutely incredible RGC nomination from the boy Farrell, but the host exercises his veto to nominate the two lads in row CC in section 138 of the Jock Stein Stand.It's a cheery episode that none of us saw coming around half two on Saturday.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

As you can imagine, there's little in the way of cheeriness in this week's episode.We reflect on the Livi game, the Fir Park Shambles, and it's fair to say no one is looking forward to Saturday. We are grateful to Davie Farrell for his voice notes, which accurately capture the mood of the other three lads.It's a tough listen but we are sure that it reflects how the (silent) majority are feeling about the club just now.We would like to thank you all for your support and kind words about the pod, and wish you all a peaceful and happy new year.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

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 he is trying to do. The issue that we don't have the personnel available is a problem so there's some chat about the upcoming window.There's a jaw-dropping story from a trip to Carlisle that is worth hearing, incidentally.All three of the lads thank you all for your support of the podcast, and we wish all of you who celebrate a happy and peaceful Christmas.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.

We got some feedback after last week's episode that we had been overly harsh in our view of the new manager. It's fair to say that the events of the last seven days, unfortunately, have vindicated us to an extent. Incidentally, none of us takes any pleasure from that. As we watched events unfold on the pitch, we decided that some input from an ex-pro and coach would be worthwhile, so Davie Farrell joins us to pass judgment on Nancy's "game plans" and it's no spoiler to say he's baffled at what he's seen in those first three games.We end the pod with a very personal RGC Award, and as always, thanks to everyone for their continued support, we appreciate every single one of you who listens.Thanks to @fitzpas.com for the artwork and @arseneparcelie.bsky.social for the outro music.
