The Celtic Underground

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 and Eddie Pearson to discuss all things Celtic, Scottish Sport, male grooming products, VPNs, youth development and everything in between.  In fact if you’re an avid listener and get all the way to end you’ll get a discount code for our Patreon site (if we were to ever have one!)

 

We enjoyed recording it and hopefully you’ll enjoy listening to it and if you do please rate us on apple podcasts and if you don’t then unsubscribe because they’re all like this!

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 transfer rumoutrs too seriously, what those transfer rumours may be and our predictions for the next game.

 

It’s a huge bumper edition to kick off the new season so please enjoy…

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 was resumed.  A (valid) red card helped but no doubt Celtic would have gone on to win as they have done in all bar 3 previous domestic games.

 

Antony Murray is on the podcast this week to review the game compare this team with the invincibles and preview the next Glasgow derby.

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 mammoth 2 hour extravoganza that starts by talking about the cup wemi and then just gets into a ramble and covers just about every topic - including (but not exclusive to) toxic masculinity and can grown men carry off double denim in the 21st century?

 

We also discuss being better than Rangers - in every department!

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 with Saint Jnr and they were larging it up with the young team in the Celtic End and so I thought who better to call up and discuss the game.

 

We review the match, the crowds, the Tifos and preview St Mirren.

The Celtic Da Podcast returns

 

You can have all your whipper snapper podcasts with your Xthis and that but there is only one podcast that can continually hark back to the 90s and earlier and it’s this one - the world’s longest running football fans podcast.

 

We’re now in our 18th season (19th year) and although we may have taken a break, you can be sure that we will always have something old and hackneyed to say about the modern game and this episode is no different.

 

We discuss the League Cup semi-final victory over Kilmarnock, we discuss VAR, how rubbish Scottish refs are, group think of refs, the transfer window and then touch on the forthcoming St Mirren game.  Amazingly in all of that we manage to debate whether the Lambert challenge on Albertz was indeed a penalty.

We’re in the mix

 

Tonight, before recording this podcast, I was in a whatsapp debate about how to describe the draw with Shaktar.  I described it as brilliant, others said disappointing.

 

Personally I couldn’t see how you could describe an away UCL prefromance wehere we should and could have won by 2-4 goals as disappointing.  Yes, there’s disappointment that we didn’t win but surely it’s absolutely brilliant that we were that good that we feel disappointed about only drawing away?

 

Anyway, enough of the use of the word disappointment in one small section of text - I am joined by Antony Murray as we discuss the draw with Shaktar, the away game to St Mirren and I also debut my open all mics try-out as Napoli get 2 pens as we record.

The Celtic Steamroller

 

Saturday 3rd September Celtic played Rangers.  Saturday 3rd September Celtic toyed with Rangers.

We played them off the park in the first half and coasted the second.  You got the impression that if Ange had told the team at half-time that they needed to score another 4, we could have.

 

We start the podcast with a quick exert from the Heart & Hand Podcast that someone sent us previewing the game, we then move on to a review of the game before a preview of the game against some team from Madrid.

 

We hope you like it as much as we liked recording it.

Tifo or Tifno…?

Sometimes the title doesn't really give an insight into the real content of the podcast but I've got to write something and I quite liked this so, there you go.

Anyway, this week the middle aged podcast by middle aged fans for EVERYONE returns (have we mentioned we are the world’s longest running football fans podcast?).  Anyway, back to the point…we are enjoying lige under Ange and so we are enjoying life in general.  Lawrence is on his usually summer sabbatical to the Raploch and Eddie’s life is just one big long holiday.  With both of them having time to spare I connected the phone line, dialled them up, listened to that weird screaching noise you get with dial up internet and I connected to the two guys to discuss life, the arts and the football.

First up was the V & A.  Next up was Eddie discussing whether Tifo’s are for him and finally we reviewed the Aberdeen game and then previewed the Ross County game.

It’s a bit of a ramble and if you want xyz and tactis chat…you’ll need to look elsewhere.

When we started this podcast (did I mention it’s the world’s longest running football fans podcast) we never thought it would last 17 seasons.  It’s ebbed and flowed and the young kids have arrived with their xg, xa, xt, abc, easy as 1,2,3 but we’ll always be here - the middle aged podcast for the middle aged fan who loves the hoops and gets mildly irritated.

 

And so we are back for that record breaking 17th season (every season is record breaking because I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it but we’re the world’s longest running football fans podcast).  This week I am joined by Duncan, St Anthony and Lachie Mor to preview the season, discuss the Aberdeen game and even get around to questioning if Queens Park can become Glasgow’s second team.
