Cheers to the good people of the @homebhoys.bsky.social for mentioning our recent Corporate Governance podcast on their show. The Celtic AGM is due in roughly six weeks time and we hope our episode helps anyone trying to understand the issues at stake for the future of the Club.

Ahead of the "Meeting round up pod" of you haven't listened already we recommend the Corporate Governance episode.

It's an excellent guide to what good corporate governance should look like even if we do say so ourselves

A reminder the first of what should be two podcasts this week. Despite some issues caused by the board's goons interrupting @pault1888.bsky.social connection we discuss last week's games.
There's a bit about the meeting and an unsurprising RGC.

I can taste the panic these two felt doing their little stencilling. So casual with β€˜own goal’ thinking they had all the space in the world. Look at the chasm between own and goal! Then sudden panic about whether there’s enough room for β€˜Neville’. Eventually settling for β€˜Nev’ after a crisis meeting

A staple of the "Council salad" growing up

Rolled up ham, chips and vegetable salad from a tin

YouTube video by talkSPORT "APPALLING STANCE!" Simon Jordan rages at "COWARD" Gary Neville after Union Jack REMOVAL admission!

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

First of the two pods this week is live.

There's a bit of chat about the meeting but we've decided to wait until the dust settles and we've had time to digest events before discussing it in depth

There's some moaning about the last two games as you can imagine.

I am normally very good in those situations when I've done a big shop but I'm afraid your entitlement will be met with Scottish truculence

One of life's small victories.
Woman behind me in Costco with one item, her failure to respect my personal space and "accidentally" standing in front of me expecting "just you go first" was met with me searching for my card before using app, checking for cash in wallet before using my phone to pay

Was a place called Bodega Monumental and sadly COVID seems to have done for it as it shut a few years back. They weren't on the menu they were a tapa for cunts they liked.
I did translation for their English menu and got "paid" in scran.
Their bravas were a joy

Place near me used to sell them when I lived in Barcelona.

Big plate of them and a rerr feed of vermut was a perfect way to spend a couple of hours

I used to love the shops being shut on Sunday over in Spain. Gave Sunday a smashing chilled vibe. It did take a wee bit of planning for the Saturday shop but you'd be surprised how quickly you got your head round it

"Local shop"

That's what the reform lads want. The right to call the "local shop" what they used to call it.
