Smith and Brady - Dundee review and Hearts preview   This week Andrew H Smith joins Harry to review the performance and result at Dens Park.   The chat takes a meandering turn as the bhoys discuss the events at Dens almost 34 years ago to the day when Celtic really blew the 1979/80 season by losing 5-1 to Dundee during the title run in.   Andrew was there and experienced the vitriol.   When they g...

What’s Going On?   There’s hasn’t been a podcast in ages and then, in usual style, two come along at once.   If you’ve not listened, then get your ears around St Anthony’s Recollections podcast out earlier in the week.   It was a short sharp pod all about Paul McStay.   For the longer form podcast (and it’s very long) we have Remy, Lawrence & me asking (and attempting to answer) the simple que...

Recollections - Paul McStay Paul McStay was born on 22nd October 1964 in Hamilton, Lanarkshire. Grand-nephew of former Celtic team captain and manager Jimmy McStay, playing for Celtic was in the family blood. A hotly tipped youth prospect Paul McStay was a member of Celtic Boys Club who burst onto the football scene in remarkable style when he hit two goals and was man of the match as Scotland sch...

Are we at the end of the road   The Green Brigade - ostensibly a small group of fanatical “ultra” supporters below the age of 30 so who better to discuss their behaviours than a group of aging middle aged fans…?   Hullbhoy, Lawrence, Eddie & I appreciate that none of us share the likely demographic of the supporters group that we discuss, but Celtic is a broad church with fans from 1-100 and a...

Born to lead the green & white   Any goal for Glasgow City, another victory for the cause, another reason to giving another cheer just for the bhoys.   All week I have heard and read ill-informed nonsense about Celtic getting a heavy defeat and responded the same way - have you seen them?   We the best manager in Scotland and one of the best in Britain.   He’ll spend all week getting the team...

Sense and sensibility   Podcast No1 of the new season had 2 of us, podcast No2 had 3 of us and this week, podcast No3 we’ve got 4 (four) of us on it!   Whatever next…?   Following the victory over Aberdeen, we’ve got Eddie, Saint Anthony and Paul T on to discuss the game, where the club are at, signing gossip and the forthcoming game against Killie in the cup.   This weeks’ podcast is not as long...

Just like buses…you wait months for a podcast and then two come along in a week and what a podcast we have for you.   I’ve no idea if it’s any good but it’s long, my goodness it’s long.   Nearly two hours of Celtic chat (although, it could be argued that it’s 2 hours of sport chat with around 45 mins of Celtic chat but I’ll let you be the judge of that).   Anyway, I am joined by Lawrence Donegan a...

But who’s the left back…?   Nice to see you to see you…nice!   It’s good to be back and especially when we’re back to talk about the new seaso, with a new manager, new signings, new signing gossip and all for our 18th season of podcasting.   This week it’s the old team of Eddie and Harry who ramble and rumble over everything from fans objecting to people moving on, fans on message boards taking tr...

Ange train keeps on rolling   Sunday saw the coronation of Celtic as back to back champions in Scotland.   It was the 11th title out of the last 12 and the 11th of 11 titles were fans have been in attendance.   All in all a remarkable period of domination by Scotland’s most succesfull living club.   The game itself was a 2-0 triumph with Hearts trying hard for 20 mins or so before normal service w...

Double Denim Edition   First up an apology.   After every podcast this season we have promised the the paucity of podcasting provision from CU will ceases and a plethora of podcasts will follow.   If you’re being pedantic you could say that promise after every pod has been a pile of pish - and you’d be right.   So sorry.   With that out of the way I can talk about this week’s podcast -it’s a mammo...

I should be so lucky   Once again the lucky bhoys triumphed and Ange won his 3rd out of 4 domestic trophies he has competed for and B******t Bingo Beale went home with his tail between his legs.   Celtic won the league cup on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Rangers in a game that was pretty comfortable throughout and that Celtic could, in the end, have won by 3 or 4.   St Anthony was at the game wi...
