Hello and welcome to the final cynic weekly of the season.

0:28.4

I am your host, Christopher Galaher, and it's our regular yearly Cynic Awards, Celtic Player Awards.

1:27.7

We're going to talk through, we've got some categories, we're going to talk through, have a bit of fun, just to finish the season out. I'm delighted to say I'm joined by Barry Galaher. Hello Barry, how are you, sir? Very well, thank you. I feel relaxed that we don't have any games coming up for a number of months now, and delighted to sort of finish off the season in our usual style. So delighted to be here. Lovely stuff. We're also joined by the wonderful Stuart Dugan. Hello, Stuart. How the hell are you? I'm really good. It's nice to be sat here in all our tops and tails, ready to hand out some awards for the season that was. Junior Adamu, step right up. Yeah, that's the one. I'm quite excited about this because with every almost passing hour, I can feel the dread creeping back into supporting Celtics, so it would be nice to know. Have a nice time. Try and have a nice time while we can. Yeah, absolutely. So we're obviously not going to talk about any news or anything,

1:32.7

you know, nothing's really broke as it were. There's some rumours about managers. There's rumours about players and stuff, but we'll pick all of that up on the agenda on Monday.

1:37.6

If you subscribe to the Cynic, I think we did three. This is our 350 third podcast of the year,

1:43.9

Stuart. And we've saved the best one till 350 third podcast of the year, Stuart.

1:46.0

And we've saved the best one till last?

1:47.8

Absolutely. Can agree more.

1:50.0

We had 27 articles as well.

1:51.5

Lots of content.

1:54.8

If you want to get involved because we're continuing over the summer,

2:00.4

we're going to build up to hopefully what will be an exciting season coming up for Celtic.

2:02.1

We'll have scout reports.

2:07.3

We'll have transfer committees or season reviews that we do every year and stuff.

2:09.1

So, Barry, it's been a pleasure getting involved.

2:09.9

Yep, sorry, Sherry.

2:12.4

I just had a quick comment to make this.

2:14.6

Maybe I'm just staring into the void. but you know in the nightmare before Christmas when

2:17.6

at the start the guy with the Spinney, the mayor, he's like, oh my God, it's only 306, 4 days

2:22.2

till Halloween.

2:23.1

That's how it's felt a wee bit where it was so stressful the last couple of weeks, probably

2:29.3

months, and then we've won a double, and it's felt like within 72 hours, Rangers ranges are signed Lauren Shanklin so they're going to win everything moving forwards and that's that's it and there's nothing that can be said or done. I'm like I've started to think about the futility all this like why are we putting ourselves through the ringer for it to just have it start up again. They will never be a winner because even when you're a winner, immediately someone's trying to take it away from you. It's almost like, can we make this last one? Can we make this? We'll do this last one. Whoever wins is the best. But Barry, we had our live show, our sold-out live show at the Flying Duck, which was a massive success. You enjoy yourself? Yeah, I thought it was fantastic. I thought, um um such a good laugh the the format of the show
