RGC - A Celtic Podcast

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 too.
Obviously, we are not the only team in Glasgow that has a managerial issue and our man in the east has done some research on the Govan appointment. Our man in the west has also done some impressive research into his CV so he can make some cheap gags at the PTC's expense.
To sign off we have a Summer RGC which gives Paul & Chris another opportunity to go in two-footed on one of their favourites.
To sign off we kind of dedicate the episode to one of the funniest and kindest men that God has ever put on this earth, Charlie Devlin. 'Big Peas' was a legend and his passing will be mourned by so many,

Rest in peace Charlie

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 the time of recording suggest the two main candidates for the job are Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane. It's fair to say that there's more enthusiasm for one candidate than the other. 
Don't get carried away, "enthusiasm" is very much a relative term.
We end the podcast with the announcement from the calm and collected Paul about who gets the honour of being our RGC of the Year.

We should be back when there's news about the "new" manager, but in the meantime, we thank each and every one of you who have downloaded and enjoyed the pod this season.
As mentioned, we now have a Substack site and we're hoping to put some content on there that hopefully you'll enjoy. There's an article from Davie Farrell that's well worth a read.

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 we'll be back in a couple of weeks for a season review and preview of next season.
The RGC of the week takes one on behalf of all the bed-wetters in the media

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 to Saturday's game and have another laugh at the lads from Govan, and again, we get a former coach's explanation of the "disappointment" at Ibrox.
The collective head loss as a result of the penalty gives us a couple of  RGC contenders

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 of Wednesday's game follows before the host tells of another shocking confession following hard on the heels of "Tennis Clubgate"
Finally, there was a two-horse race for RGC this week, but ultimately a man who has given Celtic fans so much joy over the years who nicks it.
