RGC - A Celtic Podcast

As you can imagine, it's not a cheery one; we really wish it was.

We discussed the two games we played since last week, and it's fair to say we are not impressed with what we saw in either game.

Even our look forward to the two upcoming home games isn't one that is brimming with positivity.

The next subject we discuss is the Greenock meeting, and you'd think that our communications correspondent, Paul, would be happy that there was an attempt to communicate with the fanbase. I think you know us well enough to know how last night went down with the lads.

We dropped the "G" so we can make our usual award an accurate one this week

A slightly shorter episode than normal, as we have decided; like a Temu Boomtown Rats tribute band, we don't like Thursdays.

That leaves us with one game to discuss: Sunday's wind-assisted victory at Easter Road, plus a quick preview of our home game tomorrow and Sunday's game when we get tae Falkirk.

Chris, as promised, manages to suggest an RGC that meets with our full approval.

It's a lower-key episode than some of the recent ones but that's what happens when you completely ignore one game

Thanks to the fact that we airbrushed last Thursday's game from history, it's a cheery episode.

Chris takes the reins for the first part of the pod, as the usual host was at the game on Sunday. We discuss the game and some questionable fashion choices, and it's all good, with a lot of positives to be taken from the performance and the result. 

We then have a frankly half-hearted discussion about Thursday night, and then we move on to Sunday game against Hibs.

A listener narrowly escapes when it comes to the RGC of the week.

Last week we thought we were spoiled for choice when it came to nominations, but this week, thanks to the good people at Copa90, we have SO many potential winners...

As always, thanks for listening, and feel free to spread the word

It's been a while since you've heard from us, thanks to that horrendously long international break.

When you last heard from us, the mood in the camp was not great, but thanks to a decent(ish) performance at Fir Park, there is some cheeriness on the pod. Chris had a scheduling conflict (although we do hear from him) so we have drafted in Davie Farrell, who reveals he does possess a cheery side. 

It's our fault, as we tend to ask him on to explain why a shitshow happened.

We cover the 'Well game ' and share our fears about Thursday before looking forward to the Hearts game on Sunday.

The SHOCKING scenes at the "Home of Golf" get discussed (Spoiler: we found it hilarious)

Finally, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to potential recipients of the title RGC of the week

After a dark night of the soul the three regular contributors we have a group therapy session to help us deal with the events of the last eight or nine days,

Regular listeners will know there is a difference in how highly the manager is regarded. There are reflections on the last two games and where we are as a club with a general consensus that change is needed.

Obviously it's not a cheery listen, and we won't be back until after the International Break unless there is a change in the management set-up at the club.

In that regard we throw some names around we'd like to see come in and it's fair to say none of them is at the top of the bookies' odds list that has been doing the rounds.

We hope you enjoy it and hopefully we'll be back before the International break is over

It's not as downbeat an episode as you would expect. 

We asked the Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to give his thoughts on Sunday's shitshow, as the WhatsApp group content suggested the three usual members of the pod's flying column would just have screamed into the void for an hour.

There's still a bit of that, and there are some concerns about where we go from here but hopefully Sunday is a wake-up call for a lot of people. 

We still manage to find an avian RGC of the week that prompts an idea for an actual RGC mascot.

Davie developed some sound issues halfway through the record which hopefully won't be too much of a distraction

It's the usual lineup for this episode, and it's a busy one.

Chris returns refreshed and invigorated from his holidays; Paul pitches up an utter shambles after a weekend on the gargle.

We cover why we will never be the number 1 Celtic podcast, look back at the Aberdeen and St Mirren games, with Chris doing most of the heavy lifting on the "reasons".

There are two games this week: Chris and Paul will be in Perth for the St Johnstone game and then there's the game against "thaym" on Sunday that we discuss. Obviously, we reflect on the news that augurs well for Greggs Q4 results.

We have our last chat about the transfer window until December at least to round off the football chat.

We then reflect on the dangers of granting people access to your Ticketmaster account, and the RGC is a football "influencer" who gets a shoeing on TikTok

A new voice on the pod this week. Chris in Belfast, Davie living his best life and Paddy Hoey laid low with the flu meant we asked Britain's number 32 tennis player, Keith Murray, to join us tonight.

We discussed Saturday's game, what appears to be shaping up to be another transfer-window shitshow, and briefly previewed the next two games.

The conversation then turned to the next generation of Celtic fans and Keith shared his experience and frustration as a father of two young boys whose chances of getting "the bug" are severely restricted.

I think a lot of fans will sympathise, and we pose the question is anyone at board level aware of the issue?

There's a unanimous RGC of the week, and I am sure it won't surprise any of you

After the LASK shambles, your host and Paul are in their usual seats to discuss the game.

Chris decided to lock himself in a bothy in the Hebrides, so we had to bring in The Fenian Red Adair, Davie Farrell, to cast his trained eye over the shi*show that was the defeat in Austria.

Worryingly, the trained eye reveals that it was even worse than you thought, so as you can imagine, this is not an upbeat episode, and there is very little in the way of positivity. 

We are currently in negotiations to make this episode available as a potential penance for Saturday confessions at West of Scotland chapels.

Despite the downbeat tone, we reckon it's still a good listen, and there's a unanimous RGC this week

Onward and upwards

There was an issue with the initial upload hopefully Take 2 will take care of that issue

It started with a message in the WhatsApp group: "There's been a purchase from JD Sports, but who for Kammy?"  It ended with some spectacular grassing and an unconvincing attempt at an explanation, and that's before we got onto the events of the last week.

There's a review of the game at the weekend, a look forward to the CL qualifiers, plus a discussion on transfer business.

There is some positivity in that we're somewhat prepared but we should be in a better position. That said, we are confident we will get past LASK. 

We got a bit of a scouting report on Hassan from Sid Lowe that we can't broadcast, but it's generally positive.

The RGC is an old "friend" who narrowly edges out another outstanding candidate.

As always, thanks for your support
