Podcasting Couch: Death In The Family

|

Like the previous effort, I peer into the world of Lostbhoys and the Celtic Underground after we lost 4-0 to St Mirren. One day I will review when we have some good news. Podcasts 41 and 83 respectively

It takes an impressive constituition to record or write any thoughts after a defeat like the one we have just witnessed. There is more needy sadomasochism in the Celtic support than anywhere else in the world.

Eddie and Harry Brady sound as if they are doing one of those interviews you get when someone has died, usually in tragic circumstances, and they haven’t a bad word to say about the dead person, though he had faults, hated cats and owned a crossbow that he used to shot crows.

They both like Tony. He was “a good guy” and Eddie weeped “I agree with everything Tony says about football but I didn’t understand what he was doing” too which I expect thousands of Celtic fans nodded in agreement with. Harry wiped the tears away and remembered Liam Brady’s last game at Perth while Eddie spat at George Shaw giving us the V. Hats of to such knowledge and memories that haven’t been damaged by years of alcohol abuse or blanked out for the torture they have caused.

Though thousands of miles away the hurt can still be felt. Chris describes the moment that he was sat alone in his basement, in the dark, and by the sounds of it ready to don a hockey mask and kill the local Glee club. Gerry and Jamie are like they are sitting in a hospital waiting room waiting on news of a loved one who has been in a car crash.

Jamie has a five point plan to hire a new manager. It comes up with David Moyes. Chris bemoans that the mythical next stage is now gone while cleaning blood from his hockey stick. Just to make matters worse he then goes through the list of potential managers and it gets so depressing you can almost hear the silting of wrists and Jamie longing for his beloved Yankees. It’s all tipped over the edge into the abyss when Billy Davies is mentioned.

The last word goes to Eddie Pearson screaming like a schoolbhoy that Tony Mowbray had “Ruined Robbie Keane for us” while ripping down his posters from the studio walls.

Well, that’s how I pictured it.
