RGC - A Celtic Podcast

A slightly more upbeat episode this week. (Only slightly mind you) We discuss the Flag Day victory against St Mirren and reflect on Brendan's Friday press conference, which did have a whiff of "Back me or I'm off" about it.  There's a bit of actual xG chat but largely in a "point and laugh" context when discussing the game at Motherwell at the weekend. Sunday&apo...

Sadly it’s a familiar theme in what should have been an upbeat pre-season episode. Three grumpy Tims of a certain vintage railing against Dermot and the unacceptable way he's running the show. Even the new Dundee manager making a James Hunt of his first few weeks in the job isn't enough to lift our mood. Hopefully, in a few weeks time we'll look back at this recording and laugh.  As...

Yes, the RGC lads are back for a Summer Special, but if you're looking for laughs from a Summer Special, then you're probably better off buying the one The Beano releases. We talk about the impact on the squad of the departures this close season and discuss the arrival of what appears to be a number of projects in the window thus far. Our absentee Irish landlord and his transfer fee ceil...

Well, compared to the RGC lads Rev I.M. Jolly is a ray of f*cking sunshine. Maybe it's entitlement but in a season where we won the league and the League Cup and did okay in the CL, it's a very downbeat episode. None of us has shaken off that absolute shambolic cup final performance and there's not a huge amount of confidence that the summer is going to cheer us up.  The manager&apo...

It's a packed programme  The host's professionalism is tested  We have pre-match pints with two Pat Nevins and a Mad John Post-match nonsense in the Press Bar with a somewhat pished host recording a "drop in" from a special guest There's a discussion about the supposed East End War zone, and we offer a simple solution. We have a cup final preview and some chat about the ma...

As the host was otherwise disposed and our man in the East was poncing about up that Italy our man in the West is the only one of the team who saw Saturday's 90 minutes.  Not a huge amount to say about the game. Was it a bafflingly toothless performance from Hibs, or was it really professional game management by Celtic? We have a chat about Wednesday's "gonnae gie wee Jamesey a goal...

It could have been another giddy pod had Maeda made the right decision but he gets a pass as he's got a LOT of credit in the bank. We have our very own Kate Adie's report from behind the Tarrier barrier, and our reflections from the game. We all get the fear when we consider who the back four will be in the game at the weekend against Hibs. There's a moan about tickets for the cup f...

As you can imagine, the mood on the pod this week is officially giddy AF. We have a great time talking about Saturday's game, have a moan about Sky and their presenters pulling players away from the celebrations so they can ask them mundane questions at time up. We return briefly to the issue of ticket prices and applaud the two protests during the game although we do feel sorry for the poor...

A two handed episode this week as Chris joins Jim as Paul is having a mid-life crisis in Santa Ponsa. We have a message from the Remy McSwain fan club and reflect on Sunday's semi-final  and we couldn't miss an opportunity to have a chuckle at the Jambos and Chris revels in a Craig Gordon "masterclass" from the other semi. That brings us to a preview of Saturday's game at...

An extra "mini-pod", recorded as a test of yet another recording set-up by the useless aul' b*stard of a host. Fingers crossed that it works. We decided to have a chat about who gives Maeda any kind of run for his money in the Player Of The Year stakes and it's fair to say that second place was a LONG way back. In fairness, at least there were a few candidates for second place,...

We've mixed it up a bit this week. As Chris was in Manchester for the weekend and Jim seized the chance to use his seat, we have a stand-in host for this week's episode. (With Taylor making his return to the starting lineup, it was probably for the best.) We reflect on a great first-half performance on Saturday and a perfunctory second half. A remarkable explanation is offered about the...

Welcome to this week's pod.  The "gid-ometer" should have been off the f*cking charts after Saturday's fixtures, however... Despite pre-record protestations we had all calmed down after Sunday's game it didn't take much to get us foaming at the mouth after an absolutely abject performance in Perth. After a cathartic discussion of the St Johnstone game the  pod host *m...

It's fair to say there's not as much grumpiness on our first proper pod since "that" game. Well, we say that, bearing in mind both Gordon and Shankland were playing for the opposition on Saturday then there's *some* grumpiness. We have a chat about people leaving the game early and ticketing issues. Should fans have the ability to give up their seat a few times a year to a...

As it is International Week and  there was no game we got a guest in. A man who played in the SPL and had an 18-year professional football career and coached too and he's a right good c*nt into the bargain, Dennistoun's finest Davie Farrell. We quickly realise that the three regular podders are still pissed off after last Sunday and Davie gives us an idea why it went so wrong on the day....

It won't surprise you to hear that the "g" in Pod xG this week isn't Guinness, it's Grumpiness. We reflect (well, rant) on the events of Sunday, as you can imagine there's not a lot of positivity and no one escapes without criticism and that includes the manager. The only light moment comes courtesy of a "Toon Tim" Ricky as we got his on-the-whistle reaction...

The boys reflect on the Hibs cup game but not until we had the pleasure of listening to the view from the Hibs end delivered with frankly magnificent levels of profanity by, friend of the pod, Raymondo Broon. Ahead of this Sunday's game against "Thaym", we discuss our view of the away ticket situation and give an unbiased and balanced preview of how we think the game will go. As a b...

The pod starts on a more sombre note as Chris pays tribute to Sweeney, an RGC who passed away at the weekend. We then look back at the Aberdeen and St Mirren games and then have a chat about Sunday's game against Hibs. There's then the inaugural "Sweeney Section" where we have a cheery wee "point and laugh" at Trackie Baz and say a heartfelt goodbye to The Baldy Bange...

Celtic out of the Champions League? An away defeat to Hibs with a questionable VAR decision? A recipe for a downbeat pod recording you would think, however... An incredibly cheery podcast where we reflect on the two games with a special guest all round good guy Martin from Mogwai who watched the game with one of the hosts in Leeds Irish Centre. There is a LOT of 'Espanyolification' chat...

The curse is real... The episode title will make sense when you get to the RGC nomination at the end of the pod. Before then we cover both Bayern games and reflect on Saturday's game against The Arabs. We also chat about Saturday's game against Hibs and how one of the podcast team will go "Prawn sandwichless" as he won't be able to attend.  It does allow the other two podd...

It's episode 13 and it's unlucky for some... Mind you the people it's unlucky for are not Celtic fans. There's some reflection on the Raith Rovers game, some chat about the Bayern game and it's fair to say there's not a huge amount of confidence from any of the lads. We also have a bit of chat about the NEDs in the Celtic boardroom (This is not Buckfast related conten...

An extra pod this week for two reasons 1) To try a new platform to record the pod to deal with the sound issues of the last few weeks 2) To allow Chris and Paul to deal with their differences in a safe and healing environment It appears to have worked on both counts (We think) We reflect on the Dundee game, we throw forward to the cup game against Raith,  there's a bit of chat about the trans...

Firstly we hope there are none of the sound issues we had last week. The idea behind this pod was that it would have the vibe of three lads (Old blokes)  talking about Celtic in the pub after the game.  Well, we probably nailed it this week as, like a good pub conversation we had two polar opposite opinions and someone in the middle saying "Come on boys, we've all had a drink". It w...

Here's episode 10 of the podcast they are calling "WTF? Another Celtic podcast?" Jim Burke your host welcomes Paul and Chris where we talk about a nerve-shredding night at Celtic Park, a fortuitous cancellation and our trip to Villa Park. We also discover that Chris has another nemesis this time it's not a left-back from Ayrshire but an Oscar winner from California There's...

Yes, we are a day late as the day jobs got in the way and Chris got stuck in traffic apparently. We discuss the game at Dens Park and the game against Killie has Paul penning a love letter to his Brand New Friend before he goes to see some band, apparently they wouldn't be My Bag. The Champions League game against Young Boys is previewed (Spoiler Alert Host is nervous, guests are both confide...

In a frankly childish effort at a futile GIRUY, we attempted to produce a 55-minute pod. We hit the crossbar but we still managed to talk about last week's games, a very brief preview of our visit to Dens and then we stumbled across the identity of the man who our chums in Govan should turn to in order to turn their club around... Chris and Paul join host Jim for the pod that people are calli...
