Celtic fans of a certain age discuss all things Celtic, where the only xG that is discussed is expected Guinness. Trying to capture the vibe of the post-match discussion among mates over a pint. Suitable for Tims of a certain vintage.

The Rgc Team Chris Podcasts
Ah'll give ye Corporate governance. The steering group campaign is focusing on achieving change at board level so we felt we'd use the experience of two of the lads to record a special episode. Essentially, we discuss the roles of CEO, CFO, Chairman and Non-Exec Directors and what they look like in a well-run organisation. We then compare them to h…

We got together to record a corporate governance special so we took the opportunity to record a short pod talking about the draw in Belgrade. It's fair to say that the point away from home left the lads all a bit underwhelmed. We are sure that a victory against Braga next Thursday teatime may change our view on that result. Thanks to @fitzpas.com f…

It's a busy pod with Thistle, Red Star, Steering Group and Celtic's accounts on the agenda. Firstly, we appear to have had some sound issues that we'll try to get to the bottom of for the next record. We look back on the Thistle game and briefly discuss the Red Star game this week. As Paul is on the steering group we get a first-hand report on the …

It's a two-hander this week as our man in the east is in Poland and we *might* have taken advantage of his absence when it came to the RGC nominations for this week. Chris gives a first-hand account of the 12-minute protest at Rugby Park, and we discuss the game and that last-minute penalty, which, as well as bagging all three points, upset all the…

As a follow-up to Tuesday's episode, we recorded a pod as we had a representative at Wednesday night's meeting, our man in the east, corporate schill, and all round good guy, Paul. He gives a brief summary of what happened, and it wouldn't be an RGC pod if we didn't flex our "cynical aul' gits" muscles, so we do voice a few concerns. That said, all…

1:08:31They drag us back in. Welcome to The Godfather 3 podcast. The plan to take advantage of the International break went up in flames thanks to an "accidental" leak of a conversation about the manager, followed up by a simply incredible statement, released at ten to nine on Saturday night. A statement sponsored by Chateauneuf-De-Pape and Chat GPT by th…

I don't think any of us were quite prepared for the clusterf*ck of the closure of the transfer window. We start by discussing Sunday to set the (bad) mood for the rest of the pod. Concerns are raised about both the manager and the captain, and our apparent inability to get up for big games. That's the last five where we've not shown up. Surely the …
