That's Rabbie, not Tommy, of course...

An executive decision was made last week that this episode would only focus on Saturday's game and events domestically. There will be another pod later in the week dealing with all things European.

With Chris on holiday, it's a two-hander, so as we're only discussing the Livvy game, the mood in the camp is pretty cheery, helped by a good second half performance and "events" in Edinburgh and Paisley.

There is frustration that we can't claim credit for christening a certain manager "Terry Vegetables", but that's the only negative in this recording. We're hoping that later in the week, the next pod will be equally upbeat.

The RGC award goes to two people this week, and you'll fully understand why when you hear the reason.

As always, we thank you for your support and kind words, all 1692 of you.

Three men of a certain age are still feeling tender after the RGC day out, so that, allied to the usual complaints about the board, it's a bit of a subdued episode.

We discuss Friday's very cheery and entertaining game against Falkirk, and then discuss the CL qualifier. Two of the team are very confident, the other has some residual Celtic in Europe PTSD, which means he's a little less bullish about the tie.

There's a bit of a preview of the Livvy game, and we agree that the outcome of Wednesday's game will determine the approach to that one.

We have an enthusiastic and animated discussion about the exciting transfer rumours, and that's a complete f*cking lie.

We do have a bit of self-indulgent chat about our day out, but it does give us a chance to talk about Saturday's games and a certain penalty shoot-out. As a result of that discussion a certain Premier League manager will now be known as "The SFC". Regular listeners will have a fair idea who that will be.

Paul suggests the RGC of the week and rarely has anyone deserved the award more.

As always, thanks for your continued support and please feel free to tell the grumpy Sellick Da or Ma about the pod.

Another increase in the giddyness quotient this week.

We discuss Sunday's game and it's broadly positive and actually, there is genuine positivity when we discuss the performances of Maeda, mind you, it's somewhat balanced out when we discuss Idah and Scales, but overall, even the horror of the four quid Pittodrie Pie can't dampen the lads' enthusiasm.

Like Sportscene on Saturday, three old blokes discuss the other results at the weekend, with one result in particular getting slightly more attention than the others. Our efforts to have that section sponsored by Biffa Skip Hire were in vain, sadly.

There's a brief moan about the board, but we're conscious that we're just rehashing the previous week's content. We'll try to steer clear of the subject until the window closes.

We have a chat about this Friday's game, and then Paul does a deep tactical dive into the threat posed by one of the players in one of our potential CL qualification opponents. It's a level of insight you won't get on any other podcast

As always, we are grateful for your support, and please spread the word if there's an old, miserable Tim in your life. It's the echo chamber that miserable Tim b***ards everywhere have been waiting for.
