    Always had a poor thought on listening to these guys, truth be told haven't listened to anything by them at all, till tonight.
    Gave a listen to their reaction podcast after Hibs and Ross County, glad to see there are others out there with the same emotion and thought as myself, and plenty of us on here.

    Tonights one I am half way through and they are not holding back.

    Anyone else gave them a chance recently?

    I also hearing that Celtic have recently (past few weeks) stopped inviting them to the pressers, they had previously been there. Judging by the guys tones and word choices, I can see why this coward of a board have done so.

    Which, in itself is a * disgrace - now refusing to allow fans to even attend the pressers to ask basic questions.
    Whole thing is being run to push out their own narrative.

    * the board. * them to fuckery.

    Exactly man, it keeps going on the same train.

    Can't find myself disagreeing with anything on it tonight.

    Superb podcast among some other superb podcasts, like A Celtic State Of Mind, Sellick Da Podcast and 4 Tims And A Podcast. The cynic have some cracking content, well worth the subscription fee.

    Only recently getting in to podcasts in a general sense, the la liga ones I like on my drive to work.
    Gave Celtic State of Mind a try a few weeks back and wasn't convinced by it, but got recommended the cynic by a pal and have to say, top stuff. Will give the others a go and State of Mind another try

    Bang on. I know some * don’t like them, hipster this, hipster that etc etc
    Park that.

    Listen to tonight’s.


    Personally I think they produce some great stuff. A few really sharp contributors who know their football. Aye the odd podcast is complete *, but that comes with the territory of providing daily content. Stats etc aren’t my thing but their match report centre is very impressive for anyone who is. Some of the writing is excellent too.

    It is so * bang on man.
    Not sure the names to voices, but one is making a great point around 38min mark about the players and the efforts versus that of the atmosphere and the management and what mood they are in.
    Fair on them, critical etc. liking it.

    State of mind is good when Kevin Graham is on and the host Paul John Dykes is a pretty balanced guy, good host. Listen out for Tony on 4 Tims podcast, his rants on the state of the club are * top class.

    But aye the Cynic take the prize for me, so much good stuff every single day.

    There was a guy in America (Philadelphia) I think that used to do a podcast after every Celtic game. This is going back 10+ years. Was really insightful on Celtic for an American. Would love to know if he still does them but can’t for the life me remember his name.

    Not sure if this is the same as what annoyed me about it, but it seemed too "balanced" in almost not wanting to pick a side that it became a bit too wishy washy and trying to be too pro-celtic without putting the boot in.
    Admittedly, I listened probably around the Milan/Lille game, so things werent as clear cut * for us ha

    That would be Beyond the Waves podcast, Guy's name is Graham can't mind his surname now. Actually met him when he was over at one point years ago.

    Actually, could an admin maybe change the title of this thread? Didn't realise so many decent podcasts out there for us. Maybe change it to "Celtic Podcasts" or something more generic?
    Also, not sure if there is an actual thread already, this may be merged if thats the case of a general podcast thread that I may have missed?

    Is there anybody left that disagrees with them?

    Too many people confuse defence of Lennon the man with Lennon the manager.

    We’re just fanboys though.

    PJD is fine. Can’t stand the other guy unfortunately, constantly cutting across him and butting in. Switched off over lock down as a result.

    Funnily enough he mentioned that today, that it was the Pittodrie game that turned it for him. He's now all in on the Lennon/Lawwell out train, but he's still pretty professional about it while not letting them off the hook.

    I think some, still. But not many and certainly not vocal.

    For all the differences we all have on here over the past months, I think we can surely all agree with this though Sean, Lennon the man and Lennon the manager need to be separated for now. Although the way he is going on, he is making it difficult to make that distinction
