Etim regulars, Hector, Ralph, MOnty and Desi are joined by Andy "Boards AOK!" Broadsword to talk about Neil Francis Lennon leaving the club.

The guys discuss how many Knock Knock jokes you can get out the current events at Parkhead and look back at the disaster that was this season.

Monty discusses Holiday plans now that Neil is available again and Hector gets the chance to praise Ryan Christie in a 4-4-2 for a change ( No he didnt - Ed!)

Ralph and Andy join midway to discuss the low and highlights ( aka Lazio) and we all end by giving our thoughts on the future.

Just who will be leading the club and in what structure come August?
Will it be a big name, a left field appointment or it be Lennedy ( enough already - Ed!) or someone new taking over and will the board really fear the fans not buying those season tickets?

Etims were fortunate enough to be invited to fill an hour slot on the brilliant 24 hours of Celtic Fan Podcasting Event for the Quadruple Treble Fundraiser organised by ACSOM over the recent Cup Final weekend.

Paul John Dykes and everyone at ACSOM did a great job presenting, organising and recording so many Celtic fans pods over the weekend and brilliantly raised over £26k.

It was truly sensational work to help so many worthy causes at such an important time of the year.

This is the audio from our video chat for anyone who may have missed it on the day and check out ASCOM site and on Spreaker, iTunes, and also on Youtube and Twitter, for its great output and to find links to all the other sites brilliant contributions on the Historical weekend.

Hector and Desi join Monty from the now Northern Ireland of non EU and EU to discuss the game yesterday .

We discuss the Game. The Tactics, the team, the subs ( oh the subs) and of course The Bitton incident and that heartfelt expectation resulting from risky desperation .

We discuss Celtic managing to beat Celtic as per all this season and a most of all we wonder just whats next. Listen to Montys optimism compared to the realism from the other 2 on air.

Ultimately we ask What is the point of Andy Walker and and Celtic this season...just how does it compare to the end of Only An Excuse of all things in fitbaw life

Hector aka Gary McBarlow, Monty and Desi get together after the defeat to AC Milan to discuss the Game, the performance, the lack of defending, the present, past and future of Celtic in Europe.

They then turn to domestic football and that Ross County disaster and the aftermath at Celtic Park. Arent fans entitled to be angry Mr Lawwell?

The show concludes with a look ahead to who will be in charge over the next few weeks and a few heated discussion points are raised when Desi doubts the generosity of Dermot Desmond and questions just how highly ranked are Celtic Football Club at present for potential Managers to beat down our door.

Post Sparta beating Celtic 4-1 AGAIN, Hector, Monty and Desi get together to discuss what exactly are we seeing on the pitch, what arent we seeing on the pitch and guess at just what is or isnt happening behind the scenes.

Birthday bhoy Monty gives his view on The 10 and the impact on the fractured world that is Celtic and the guys discuss the various options currently open to Lenny, Lawell and Dermot.

Who will be Manager come the Scotttish Cup Final..will any of the current staff still be around for Xmas or the January WIndow bring many exits and entrances for the Club in 2021.

The pod concludes with a heartfelt discussion on how this band of Celtic Da's lives were so enriched growing up watching Diego Maradona and we discuss the joyous memories and feelings we had for the Footballing God. RIP Diego
