Etims get together to discuss the highs and lows of a Celtic CL Wednesday.
From the wonder of winning that game and qualifying against Young Boys to the "WTF!!" exclamations when the news Kyogo is off to France suddenly appeared 1 hour later.
They discuss the prematch shenanigans of Monty getting a ticket, the atmosphere in the ground. The crowd carrying the Bhoys when it mattered. The Goal and the Goalkeeping heroics. The relief at the end.
Then they pay tribute to our Japanese wonder who departs with our best wishes and leaves us with wonderful memories. What a joy and what an icon we had in Kyogo Furuhashi.
And theres even a tribute to Tiger Tim!

Little Ham says it's time to rock and roll. Bring the noise! [Music] Five, four, three, two, one, go! Your evening, folks, and welcome. I don't know if welcome's at the right one. Thank you for joining us on this E10s podcast. It was going to be our welcome, but we'll come to a certain issues later on. My name is Daisy Moint, and I am very glad to welcome everyone. And we've got a few panel today, which, for reasons, will become obvious. So I'm glad to welcome our man in the suburb sector, Bandido. Good evening, Hector. Evening, guys. Thank you for joining, Hector. The man, the Tariya, Tariya, are a former pilot. The man in Stoke, Ralph Mowf, good evening, Ralph. Evening, how you doing? You're looking very daffy on the video. The listeners can't see you if you're lovely. Berry on, but thanks very much. And I think we all know why you're wearing a Berry, which, again, will come to you later. And the man across the water, Monty Sea, which should really be Monty G-buns, but we'll come with that also later. Monty Sea buns, good evening, Monty. Evening, Daddy, evening, lads. So, yes, thank you very much to all the panel for joining. As always, thank you for everyone for tuning in and listening. Always appreciate it. Like, subscribe, you know the usual drill. Tonight, we are here to concentrate. It was going to be on one matter, but it's now been extended into two main matters. The first matter is the young boys game last night. So, we were all, I think, there was a Hector who couldn't use first. There was a general, quite in a sense of excitement, anxiety. How did you sum up the general sense out there? Because it was quite a kind of a new experience or kind of... That's not been due to the new format. That whole anxious thing of it towards the end of the kind of group stages. We had no view of it. We've built that for a while. Do you mean ice in just in general or at the stadium? No, just before even a couple of days before you started seeing people saying, "Oh, if you want to be back to kind of achieve it, that's some kind of way." And then people starting to question who, who should play, what would be the best approach. People have been ultra confident, people have been ultra pessimistic. - I think it was an extra... - I think it was an extra, understandably sorry. The ones who just looked at them being bought them with a group, they're shy, that's a bit easy, right? You're always going to get that group of people. That's fair do's, right? You've done this to, I've seen Celtic in the recent past, I think, when it looks after a certain time, maybe a qualifier, be very close to it. Maybe fuck up at the last minute, show you that group. And you're the one that's not sure. I think, from a personal perspective, what my biggest concern was the volume of games that we played in the rest that they had, right? I don't get a lot of thought. I've seen that mentioned a great deal. I just thought, well, we've actually played 17 games, right? And basically eight weeks, 17 games in eight weeks. They had best part of six weeks off. - At least, yeah, for the one I've played. - Yeah. So they had a complete chance to reset. They did another new manager, the third manager of the season, a complete break. So they came here as reset, totally fresh, good to go. And you can see we were team over recent weeks. We had to grind out results in the heart of one at December, January. And that pool of games were pretty much rotated to best part of 15, 16 players. That's the key core group of players I think we've got, which is the right thing to do. But you could see some games I've waited in detail a week. That was 20 minutes, so it was a bit of a struggle, 25 minutes. So I think the legs had been starting to go. So I think there was a bit of a... Yeah, they're both. Couldn't have asked for a bit of team to play. Absolutely tick the box. But two, we played our last volume of games. And I think there was always that we feel that could be last in '95 plus minutes or so. That's the perspective of us are two getting a last night's game. And we had the enough, which will probably come in. I think that probably was the last part of your last night's way to degree. But that was my own personal take on it. Yeah, no, I think it's very, very relevant. Ralph, you have resurrected. I'm glad to say you're not available to produce the ETIMS diary at www.etIMS.net on a regular basis. So thank you for that. You were very... You have been very much in a... I'm no sure camp. But it's hard to say the thing, the whole backlog, no, and we don't ever win a break this year. So I've been squeezed up with multiple international calendar entries, etc. So I think it's been kind of really frustrating. So that could be a major contender. But you were a little bit repetitious. There's a lot of a day going into this game. Don't worry about the game itself, but this is the fold-up to it, Ralph. How did you see it? Similarly, because, like Hector says, we've had an awful lot of games. We've been trying this, we've been trying now, we've been losing a different set-ups, and we've had players out. Last time was the first time... Sorry, the come on again was the first time, the three front-line. They played together, what a chance is, missed a few. And you think, do you know what, the knee click, quick? And we kind of did, but the runs were just badly timed. Three goals, straight away, cancelled, a missed penalty. And you think, do you know what, we've seen this film before. And it's tenderness, it could be any number of factors. I have to say, the crowd was fantastic last night. You would have thought maybe they'd have started getting on the bike, but they didn't. We got a walkie-go, and it was, but we didn't... We jumped out, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We've part of, don't worry about the game itself, just talking about the bold up, did you know, get there, Ralph? Hey, I'd get the heebie-jeebies all day. I had it, and it's simply because we've been through this before. We've let ourselves down, we've had a bad decision go against us. And there was this thing that, yet, that the weakest team in the group, but they've had a break. And you could see the kind of professional pride, that they didn't want you to finish on no points, nobody does. Nobody wants to go through a campaign and be the waffing star, the whipping boys, whatever you want to call them. And with the pressure off, there was always our chance that they would play the game of their life. And when they keep us started saving them, Jesus. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. We're not going to get into that yet, because I wasn't concentrating the bold up with the game. So come in, won't you? You're your finance expert, right? I'd raised it in your WhatsApp that sell to you are undergoing a major season book, a national season book member, a national TV at the moment, looking to see how they can maximize the relationship, become the season book. When I mentioned to the guys in the group, Hector especially, was very vocal and respected the whole ticket access, allowing people to buy your ticket or use your ticket, et cetera. Ticket, swap scheme, these sort of things. I mean, the ratio on a fair, the ratio. Right, OK, exactly right. So my worry is, Monte, you've been the business head here. Ma worry, ma worry was, sell to become this basically another member of the football tourism world. Have you ever experienced money of people who just turned up for big games and get elected at the last minute? Monte, Monte, G, glory hunting, bastards, bums. Have you ever experienced this, Monte? We make sort of structural approach to things like this, Desi, is to start with what you would think would be your, you're sort of friendly in a circle. I, you sure are fuckers, you've got to get me one second. And then answer with rude. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, after two or three times, it's a pattern. So obviously I'm on the lookout Desi and I was hoping that you guys would kind of have one sort of informing. So having exhausted all sort of local or friendly, let's call them for lack of a better word. I started to have you broadcast to a couple of mates that are in supporter slopes, nothing going, and I'm in Scotland and I'm doing a bit of work, not too far from gospel. So I'm, I'm there quite a bit. And then I put the SOS through the glory of the Twitter. And I wasn't sure whether it was legit or not, but thankfully some gentleman Russell. Yeah, two spare tickets, which really annoyed me, maybe it's an apple towel, who didn't want to take a chance to go, who did not get a ticket. So they also have two tickets that are met underneath the North Stand last night, so. So I realized there's still no pain. Can you paint that scenario for the, for the last days or for my four lessons, and again, I'm back a little to a L4 listening group. Can you just paint that scenario? If you're coming over for Ireland, you're approaching the best darkest Celtic part and you've been asked to meet a mysterious stranger. Let me, let me give you some of the exchanges with a guy. Never met before, probably will never meet. And then you start to think right so. My name is Russell, hi Russell, thanks so many for sorting a ticket, I'm in time to see the ground for seven, no problem, here's my number. So I need a pound, don't rush, you know, this is me, literally, you hear anybody else want an extra one, no problem, let me check. Mate doesn't want it. So I don't rush to get there, I'll get there about half past seven, first flag goes up going on. Then, good man, we may come again, I'll grab another pound, see you there. Next one, my boss is late, I'll get you under the North Stand. So this is a Morgan of the Long Road. Okay, on the road, see you there. So how do you travel, how do you travel and just walking up? Okay, I'll see you in 10 minutes. I, but this boss is 15 minutes late and I'm thinking I've been stroke. I'm fucking done. There was a little bit of back and forth followed by, I'm here now that I'll be there in 10 minutes and then the glorious. And that's just to be clear, that was, was anyone wearing a green carnation and now, and the. You beat me to the next message. My nephew is at the wall, black track suit, green cap. I know. I'm sure enough, under these fucking times, 29 to 31, there goes a young fella and a black track suit and a green cap. And I went over, and you know the way you're not quite sure, should I introduce himself as Monty C burns or Monty G burns glory hunting contest you pointed out. I just says Monty and he laughs, he said, here's a take a seat now. That's one of the, you know, the glories of being a glory hunter and it's working out. So in the bar before that I was talking to a few friends and they were telling me about the season that could scheme which brings us back to your point, does it. And I didn't realize just how you kind of, it doesn't stay right and Hector has made this point a few times in our discussions. Maybe they should have a resale scheme that's genuinely open to people or mothers. Or maybe as you said, maybe I should just be more organized, because they obviously have a weird English for season books. They also learned, a friend of a friend, four season books in the family, but they only take two champions leagues, and I'm going, well, I can take the other two of them. And that way I know that I've at least got tickets for the midweek games when I move over the world. But it worked out Desi, they are delighted. Obviously, and I know we're going to talk about the game, but I wouldn't want to be the wing in it up there like that again, but let me just make sure I got the gentleman Russell Conway, just a big thank you to Russell Conway. Yeah, well done Russell. So that was good. So yeah, all's well, it ends well. But yeah, I've written here, trigger happy. CSC. Remember, he used to have a two big squirrels walking up the same red squirrel, red squirrel, that kind of stuff to our spies. I'm just a lovely mentor. I mean, you wrote an up, sampling up to a young man in a green, a green, a hot, lovely mountain. Right. So that brings us to the game itself. So Hector, you were there, you didn't want to. So we can get a first time experience of the atmosphere. You've got a lovely seat in the garden, so I don't know how you got way up there. Lovely, lovely seat Desi, you know. No, it was good. Everyone's fairly positive energy excitement. And they brought a good support, maybe a couple of thousand who were pretty vocal or game, usually still take the most. Makes me smile, you know what, the foreign teams, they don't go to a game in an hour to hear us if we're kick off and sing. Still think that's never been that. We're going to have to throw up 10 minutes before kick off. Even more ultras have come over there about 20 minutes before kick. You know what I mean? They must look. Sorry, sorry, sorry, but this thing, like context, that's a home, but it's the same when you go away. Like I'm into me right now. It's like the buses that everyone should meet in the car park. This is like the coordinator. So all the way fans have to be in and you're on the off before the game. Then leave and you're on the off after the game. I mean, it's about shit, as in you kind of just wander up nice and easy. I mean, the game's eight o'clock, so half seven. It's literally a lot. Then maybe singing. Then before you know that quarter take comes and suddenly the place is packed. Then the singing's really going and everything else. So I thought the build up in stadium was positive is exciting. Was exciting. And then obviously we're going to talk about the game. The game's starting and everything else. I'm going to talk about the first half. First of all, good game. The game I can add really was a game of two and a half. I suppose the first half were excellent. It's up to a good pace. I think a Ralph pitched upon it with three goals. Right. The show to be fair. That was this allowed all by cue. We'll go with a penalty. It was a poor penalty. He's been great so far. But apparently we couldn't have a chance to kill with another chance with balls and good positions where the cutback was. We absolutely gave him a bit of doing. And I thought Calma just conducted the orchestra in the first half. I thought it was so good. There was a feeling just on that though that. If we just scored, see if we do it one nothing up not first 25 minutes or so. I think the feeling was this more with collapse. I think we could go in and give him a good maybe two, three, four nothing doing. It's just they were hanging on with their fingertips at that point. But I just felt as if we just scored that going at first 25 minutes or so. I think we have been touching up, touching up not fairly quickly. But we gave them hope by not obviously taking our chances. Exactly right. So the other side of that, Ralph, come at you. Ralph, do you have a side of that. It's heck to lose to me. I don't hope of getting out of the goal. Maybe getting out of one. Cold again, tickle. When I was talking, like I mentioned, I was talking that we could even get quite a bit of goal defense made up because we were sitting at zero goal defense before the game. But heck to mention there, Ralph, we could have got to and then kicked on. But the other side of that, Ralph, as a Celtic, don't get those two early goals. Then we start to kind of retreat away backwards. And I'm no shame with that. I'm the same. Does that worry or that concern that suddenly we go out backwards or we start to be hesitant about the passes? Do they sort of think that that worry? It wasn't so much out. It was a couple of weeks back when Karl Marx said, if we're not going to win the game, we don't want to lose it. And you can see a sort of subconscious thing, maybe from just before half time through till about an hour mark where we kind of retreated a wee bit. And we kind of thought, "Oh, don't regroup. We'll go again." But the trouble is, when you give out the opposition the confidence that they're not going to get a doing, you know, when they're having one of those nights with the decisions who won their favour, they're not getting the bookings and not getting the things that would normally slow them down, but they think, "Oh, don't we can at least get something out of this?" And that kind of grew throughout the game, which, well, I've said, we've seen all this before and it started playing the back of your mind that it was going to go the same way. You can't imagine how Kiyoga would have felt scoring three goals and getting them all chopped off for one reason or another, and then Engels doesn't usually miss penalties. And that's like the second. It's six out of six before, and I know we had won, we'd take, but yeah. Yeah, but even better late. Well, if you'd never watched on TV, I'm assuming, but before the game, no idea. You always talk a bit, and you talked a bit a long time ago, but fortress park head. So that is quite a few clean seats, so far now. Remember that, remember they have started turning the heating off? Remember, like they were used to, it was like trying to make it uncomfortable for them? But the starting of the game, Ralph, when the camera pans the, when the camera pans the sides and you see the remaskers, et cetera, many times not, Lord goes up the sector, mentioned there, you see a few the players can either look and go, "What the fuck?" or smiling. Young boys, they were a bank team, they seem to be a bank team. They were a bank physical team, and they're in the same phase, Ralph. They don't have quality players, if there's no other good season, these things happen. Well, that was it. They did nothing to lose, they were out to enjoy themselves, and as the game went on, they couldn't, I wouldn't say settled, but they, can they use to it? And obviously, towards the hour mark, the crowd's getting that wee bit quieter, not critical, just that wee bit quieter, and you can sense the nervousness. In fact, I can give out just one thing that I did see. Today, it was on the, either the Facebook or the Twitter or whatever, and the wee boy called Joshua, that runs over what you were talking about with everybody in the corner. And he could sort of conduct something that's brilliant, and that's kind of what European away football's about, and that's the atmosphere that we had last night, and it was all very nice. But like you said, we must be doing something behind the doors to make it a wee bit more hostile. Yeah, for anyone that's no senior, the wee bit, the wee bit, the young boy's fans, I'm assuming Joshua and his dad, or his adult, his wife, he's zero for camera. But you see the wee boy, and his understanding of self facing the young boy's team, the young boy's fans are in LA, and it has gone over, gone over, wafting him, but he's in the hole. And he jumps up and he'll go, dud, dud, dud, dud, and it's like the whole young boy's crowd says, maybe I've got a lot of housing, and like that, the memory is without me, boy, really like absolutely wonderful. And finally, I'm hoping I'm hoping more anything come back online, he's showing us offline for a second, because I want to know if he did get a picture of it, I want to know if it is more his back, more it's a big question that everybody wants to know, did you get a half and half scarf?
