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 Tannadice, and we then have a discussion about ticketing in general from home matches, cup semis and finals to away games in general. 

In truth, it's more a moan than a discussion but we do believe it is time that the ticket situation in Scottish Football in general needs addressed.

As always, your continued positive feedback is really appreciated and if you think you know someone in the Sellick Da/Maw demographic who would enjoy the pod then let them know about it.

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, as when we considered Young Player Of The Year, we stumbled across a subject for a close-season podcast about our development and signing of young players.

Thanks for your support and for listening to the pod, even those of you who think we might be sponsored by The Press Bar

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 Man Of The Match award by the stand-in host to end the reflection on that game.

We salute St Mirren for consigning Hearts to the bottom six, and we identify the man responsible for the equaliser at Pittodrie.

Finally, we look forward to Sunday's semi-final, where we are hoping for a performance and passage to the final, setting up a treble and of course, we are entirely confident that the new ticketing system will not mean there will be utter f*cking carnage at the turnstiles.

As always we appreciate all of your positive feedback and support, it really means a lot to us.

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 *may* have triggered one of the contributors when we started talking about Saturday's game against Killie.

As always, we are incredibly grateful and humbled by your kind feedback and if you know a grumpy old Tim let them know that this podcast might be right up their street.

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 allow people on the waiting list to get to games.

There's a bit of discussion about the club using AI when we have so many creative talents in our fanbase, the club will use their work in the future.

The RGC is whoever it was that made Chris the happiest man in Glasgow on Saturday night.

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.

There's a bit of chat about referees and you'll be shocked at Davie's view on the current batch of Scottish whistlers.

It's a bit of a change of pace but hopefully you'll enjoy it.

As always thanks again for the support for the pod, we all really appreciate it.

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 to their win. (It seemed like a good idea at the time and after eight pints)

We are pretty sure that this week has seen the demise of the "RGC Curse" and that has been reflected in the RGC award this week. It also leads into a chat about Policing and let's just say that Paul's "I don't want to get political" statement before he started talking goes a little awry.

As always we are so incredibly grateful for your kind words and support. If there's a Tim in your life who you think fits the demographic (Old, grumpy, Sellick Da and Mas) let them know about the pod.

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 bit of a spoiler, we did get nervous about the prospect of facing a managerial heavyweight after Chris digs out a "combined 11" prepared by "Broon brogue Barry" in 2016, showing the level of football knowledge he is bringing to Sunday's game.

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 Banger.

On the 31st anniversary of the takeover, we pay tribute to the man who put the wheels in motion for a period of domination of Scottish football that no one saw coming on the 4th of March 1994 (For some reason, we all thought it was 30 years ago, probably our age)

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 as we say a fond farewell to The Baldy Banger and say an enthusiastic hello, hello to the Staunch Squad.

As always we thank you for your kind words we all really appreciate your support
