The full Celtic season review and another rebuild on the way 

It has been said before but worth repeating. This is simply far and away the best podcast/ channel out there. Many thanks for the great output all season guys and all the best Enda!

From 71 to 74, when we were still a top euro team, we sold Hay and Macari. Connolly left, but the board were happy with domestic success in the 70s and lived off the memories

Good luck Enda. My favourite channel. I'm glad Alan and James are keeping the channel going 🙂

Thanks Enda , this has been my favourite podcast since I came across it. Good luck with everything do 🙏

It's by far the best Celtic podcast out there. The content is excellent as always. Informed, data-driven, passionate and humorous. Alan's research on the Rangers penalty phenomenon is worthy of a journalist award! I hope James and Alan keep the show on the road or else there will be a Celtic-shaped hole in my podcast schedule! Best of luck with your travels to Oz Enda!

My god can’t believe you are leaving Enda - this is by far my favourite podcast- it’s the 3 amicos and it won’t be the same without Chevy Chase!! Fantastic podcast as ever (now feel really bad for criticising it a few weeks back). Best of luck in Australia- delighted to hear that Alan and James are soldiering on

Enda, genuinely saddened to hear you're not going to be involved in the podcast anymore. Thanks for all the hours of great content and entertainment over the last few seasons. Happy to hear that the show must go on as they say in the business! But you will be missed and very best of luck for the future, and with the move to Australia.

This channel is the thinking mans discussion forum. Top notch examination of the games from all of you guys. Best of, Enda !

Happy trails, Enda. Many thanks for all your work in ensuring that the podcast is consistently top-notch. Long may it continue. From Chicagoland via Partick.

Good luck with your travels Enda.

Would love for the two lads to do a podcast discussing players in the league that we should be looking at. The likes of Watson and Miller look the exact types we should be aiming for especially to fill European quotas. Not only have we been poor at holding onto our youths we’ve been really at picking off the best of the rest

Thanks Enda! Hope everything goes well for you in the future! James & Alan! Keep it going, you two will be great :D

Sorry that you have to move on. Thanks for all the hard work. See you back on one day. There is no life without Celtic !!

Just would like to take the time to wish you good luck and success Enda the channel is a really credit to you James and Alan thank so much Enda mate 👏👏🙏👍🍀

Jeez! Enda is among them for 5 mins and he’s spouting that Rangers we’re hard done by. Clementitis is catching 😂

Good luck in your new ventures Enda but now comes the acid test for Alan & James to "Walk the Walk" in terms of recruitment of a new host!

All the best Enda. Thanks for the great shows. 🍀

Thanks for this episode guys, I feel slightly more sane having listened to this as we broadly appear to be in agreeance about what has gone before, where we sit now and what needs to be undertaken moving forwards. One comment by Alan I found particularly interesting , and that was the comparable salary expenditure of Atalanta and Celtic which perhaps goes to show what is possible within the bracket that Celtic operate . For myself, what others perceive as the Holy Grail that being the CL is a real double edged sword. Sure, we all want to sit at the top table and rub shoulders with Europe's elite teams and benefit from the financial rewards, but it's a competition that is so often the cause of multiple disappointments given the gulf in the on pitch ability. We're all familiar with the adage that 'you need to walk before you able to run, and for this reason I'd be happy in the future to see the winners of the SPL go straight into the Europa League until such time that Scottish clubs or a club become much stronger. So, here's hoping that we all come back after the summer much stronger. Best

Good luck Enda, you will be missed

All the best Enda, and thanks for my new favourite cheerio phrase, "Good luck!

Good luck Enda. 👏🏻 You’ll be greatly missed. Huddle Breakdown is a great show (despite the squeaky chair). 😊

Sorry to see you go, Enda. A big loss to the show and to Irish sports media - heart-on-sleeve Celts are very rare in an environment saturated with EPL coverage so hopefully you’re back some day on our screens or airwaves. Glad Statler and Waldorf will keep the podcast going 😜🍀

Thanks Enda.. and best of luck

That News Caught Me Out Enda That’s For Sure, well Enda It Really Was A Pleasure Knowing You And Wish You Nothing But The Best For Your Future, And I’m Delighted That James And Allan Are Grabbing The Reigns Oh And Jim Orr Would Be A Great Shout, So All The Best Enda 🤞☘️🍀👍🏻 live long and prosper… HH

All the best for the future mate.

All the best Enda

Thanks Enda, have always enjoyed your contributions from the start. Maybe catch u down under for a game, i am in Melbourne. Cheers guys and HH

Thank you from Alberta good luck in Australia

All the best in the future, Enda. As you say, it's been a blast .

By many accounts the pitch was absolutely horrendous. Which was a leveller.

Best wishes in Australia, Enda.

Sorry to hear that Enda.....good luck but like our favourite players....people move on .. My daughter is off to university in September ..so I get the turmoil 😂...really pleased James and Alan will battle on ...can't have too much heartache in one close season!!

My tuppence worth: there is no equivalent to this posdcast. Nothing like it. James and Alan should definitely continue this channel, along with a new recruit to replace Enda. I really hope this will be the case. HH to all 3 of you.

Good luck Enda - we will miss you. Hail Hail.

Good luck, Enda

The Three Bhoys Are Back In Town ☘️☘️☘️

Something that is unknown (and unquantifiable) is how a new player will settle in at a new club/new city/new country. Some players take to it like a duck to water and some cannot settle. There's no real way of knowing in advance who will/won't settle. We've had players come in from Japan and hit the ground running but also had Calvin Wilson who was famously "Homesick" for Nottingham!! So taking this into account, does this tip the scales in favour of Idah & Bernardo? We already know they like it here. So how much should we factor that into the equation? Maybe we can do better than Idah.... but what if the guy who is "better" doesn't settle in Glasgow or his family don't settle.... Given the sheer number of positions that we need to strengthen, then I think the "We know what we're getting" factor with Idah/Bernardo tips the balance. We're probably going to have to bring in 6-10 players this summer. If Idah/Bernardo are included in that, then it's at least two in the plus column in terms of decent signings

Good luck Enda

Ah bye Enda - been great listening to the show last couple of years - been really good - very sad but happy for you, best of luck in your new job

All the best in your future endeavours Enda thank you & H H🍀 As long as Sid Little & Eddie Large are still producing the goods for the Celtic podcast community 😀 👏 👍 Alan & Juco apologies 😉

Time for James and Alan to show THEIR recruitment skills in replacing Enda. Just don't call Mark Lawwell for advice! Great job Enda, you'll be missed.

All the best Enda, I’m happy to throw my name in the hat on a free transfer if you need a replacement. You can pay me in green M&Ms 😂 Fingers crossed we get the recruitment right this summer. Let’s try be positive about it. 👀

End of an era. Farewell Enda and good luck.

Please keep the channel going! Best by a long way.

Good luck mate if I see you in oz I’ll shout you a beer

Great show as always, lads 🍀

I'm really going to miss this 😢

Atalanta play strong teams every week. If you compare opposition teams to weight lifting, our leagues is full of ight weights, therefore if we meet heavy weight, it's harder for us to lift that heavy weight. Lift heavy weight ever week, then a foreign heavy weight isn't so difficult to lift, we are used to it.

The goal Scotland had chopped off against Spain was worse !

Safe travels

Cheers bhoys

Winning a double is always great. Celtic now need to push on, bring in better players and progress in Europe.

Bernardo is a good reliable back up player ie cant have too many similar players in my view ☘️ 🇵🇹

I think you’ll eat your words reguarding Ida james

Wtf was the clicking sound throughout the podcast? Drove me insane

Good luck to Enda in his new 'adventure' .. his tale of ending up at the wrong end at a Celtic-Rangers match reminds me of an old Billy Connolly sketch sadly much too crude to repeat here! 😊

The Huddle Breakdown with no Coll at the helm is not the Huddle Breakdown. Gimme a call...

Thanks ghirls 'n bhoys.

Sad to hear you are leaving, but obviously you have seen the light & heading to Oz. Along with Hamish, let the exodus continue lol That’s for another year of bringing some balance & reason into our Celtic world 👍🦘🦘

We require 5 maybe 6 quality first team players. Anything less will resign us to Euro also-rans AGAIN

A soft-boiled egg and a hard-boiled egg are still eggs. Same with fouls. That was a clear push, the referee does not even worry how hard it is.

i wouldn't read the 3 year cycle as a direct reference to players contracts at this minute. but more a generalisation of how we work in the past and today. for instance kyogo likely to outlast the 3 years if only because he just signed a contract even if he's not a 'rodgers player'. and players bought last summer who wont last a year lmao

Analytics does not take into consideration a player's mentality. Idah stepped up from February and delivered under great pressure. Fir Park and Easter Road were best examples of that. Oh was being brought on and was largely ineffectual (with the odd exception). They may have similar attributes and statistical figures. But I know who I would want in the heat of the battle...

On Big Idah, he Scored big Goals in Big Games. Get him in.

rodgers says he wants pace and power but what that really means is STRIDE and SIZE. it's not about building athleticism as much as it's about finding innate advantages. the EPL is moving toward the NBA in that way. An ange approach of making the best of what you've got makes more sense for us than rodgers trying to go out and find develop or buy players who can square up to real madrid.

And removing Idah 2 pens from analysis is very unfair. They were massive at the time

👍

Idah has more impact than OH my how did he miss thst at ibrox! OH panics! Sorry like but im amazed im hearing that you believe they are comparable..Also idah has a lot more potential. Crazy talk

Re midfield, sign Wanyama clone, move McGregor back to his best position, the one MOR currently occupies. Also did anyone see the YT video of Bosun Lawal at Fleetwood Town this past season? He must be included in Brendans squad for next season as an 8, not CB where he has been in our youth team for 4 years previously.

Agree on Bernardo would offer them 3 million see how he develops but not 6 They might let him go cheap Think he would be good to come on and hold a game

The squad was already weakened after losing Jota, Starfelt, Mooy, etc, and later Abada. Now, we have lost Hart and potentially O'Riley. That was a lot of creativity and goals. We ended up playing our 5th or 6th choice in CD because of injuries and poor recruitment and had no cover for LB if Taylor got injured. As such, we need to remove as many of the non-contributing players in the squad through sales, or loans to other SPL clubs for those with a future. We need 4 quality signings who are first team ready with experience and maybe a couple of loan to buys which have worked well recently.

FYI most players sign a 3 year deal, all over Europe & it's been that way for decades. I'm very surprised you've just learned this.

Haven't seen oh come into the fray and change the direction of the game like idah has.

Most supporters don’t think anything about the 70% , there’s still far too many believing the press headlines on players that will never come to Scotland

Darby dust not to be too sniffy about that it’s a pressure game - do stats account for opposition Also Idah beat Kilmarnock himself - not seen that type of thing from OH - leading the line stuff Not say Idah is the new henrick but he’s better than OH by more than your margin - think Roger’s could make him a real player

The £ the bank in my opinion will make it harder to bring in new players, clubs will demand more £ for their players, with the knowledge Celtic are cash rich by Scottish standards

Can’t clear out average players on contracts ? Nobody will buy them?

Karma, Enda, for telling everyone that Idah was never good enough to play for Celtic. Ps Was Alan singing along to Joe, Joe, Super Joe.

from your point of view celtic will always have inadequate players. welsh scales etc. bought or developed. they will remain in the team if only for budgetary reasons because you can't have carter vickers as first and second choice without it costing double

thing is desmond and lawwell's goals for domestic trophies and finances aren't even wrong in a european sense. unless you can show me that atalanta dortmund or olympiacos set europe as a bench mark. i dont think they did. because rangers didn't when they hit the final. frankfurt didn't. west ham didn't. all these clubs took euro success as offshoot from domestic ambitions. for rangers it was keepign players to stop the 10. for frankfurt is was 'oh shit we're going to miss out on top 5 place' etc etc

Get that creaky chair binned Alan ffs

Totally agree with what you are saying about Oh vs Idah , however, I think from a Fan perspective, and the view of whether The board are willing to put their hand in their pocket and get Rodgers the players he wants, I think we have to spend the money, so we don’t spend next season every time Oh misses a shot the fans are moaning about it signing idah. It’s not logical or statistical but it’s probably the wise(ish) thing to do.

Sorry to hear that you're going, but are you also having auditions for a 3rd 🤔😅

Celtic didn't actually achieve much this year. They won exactly what they were expected to win, so was it really a good year?

If you could choose a 2nd striker, whom would you prefer. Idah or Miovski?

Bernardo is 22 not 23... he's a year younger than Matt O'Riley who was nothing too special when he was 22

Did you see Idah in Kilmarnock game? Oh will never do that for us. Idah has touch and is intelligent. Oh is thick.

A two handed push on the back of a goalkeeper is soft? Really? 🤣🤣 geeiz peace fs

A squad littered with non-contributing, limited talent earning such high wages we can’t shift them. Tell me the last time this wasn’t the case at Celtic? I don’t expect that to change all that much. I don’t expect CL quality players. I don’t expect £10m buys. I expect big numbers in to get 2 or 3 who make the squad on a regular basis. The real transfer model at Celtic.

Did you here the one about the Irish man, the American and the Scottish statist? 😂❤

Idah is better than oh,better in the air ,stronger more powerful, oh doest score that goal at ibrox

€6 million in today’s market doesn’t get you a lot 🤷‍♂️

James on fence again b e. Man James

Do you guys actually watch the Celtic games, or just review the data. & come to conclusions? Because you don't appear to be able to see the talents of Bernardo & Adam or how they fit into the team.

Europe and the league are different- Rangers did well in Europe and were poor in the league. Play style more important indicator of success. On the ownership needing to be ruthless point - look at Steve Cohen and the Mets in the US - ruthless decision maker, second biggest budget in baseball, horrible team

You want evidence of the future?😅😅😅

I see no evidence of development with OH poor first touch positional sense ,no composure poor in air and abysmal shooting . Idah much better all round and will improve Oh will not

I though yours guy s new a about football

Celtic could do better - Yet no examples. Miku rated 8m failed & Ajeti 5.5m There's plenty of strikers that you could say would do well for Celtic, but saying & doing are different. You have nothing but pure speculation.

Enda, if you end up in Canada give me a call ☎️
