You don't have to be in agreement with anything or everything that George says, but there's absolutely no denying the depth of his beliefs and/or his undying commitment to them. Add to that, that he's a brilliant raconteur and I just loved this podcast.
Celtic podcast media generally is upping its game. This was a phenomenal interview and respect to ACSOM. Over at the Celtic Exchange, Tino’s interviews with the people who saved Celtic set a new high. And don’t forget the Huddle Breakdown which provides such interesting insights enabling us ordinary fans to see the games through a new lens. Collectively the guys and gals are totally rocking it, well done. Shameless plug…. although a lifelong season ticket holder, I’m also a member of the 100+ strong Shanghai Celtic Supporters Club ( my wife is Chinese and lives in Changsha). When I’m out there the folk of the SCSC support one another and exchange info and in match commentary. Please give them a little shout out sometime as part of our amazing diaspora ☘️👍☘️⚽️☘️😎 Tom.
Totally agree Neil Lennon was hated for basically being a Roman Catholic, I worked at Celtic Park at the time when the letter bombs came through the post. In fact it was myself who contacted the clubs security about suspicious packages, they then contacted the police. After the first bomb we had to install an x ray machine for all of the post, true story, Neil Lennon was and is a terrific man
I lost/blocked a lot of Celtic so called super fans on the Lenny issue, he done everything for Celtic & he was hated on at the end by Celtic fans just as bad as he was treated by Huns, diet huns et all, it was a disgrace 😞🍀💚 HH
I don't give a flying fuq what his beliefs are he is 1 of us and the truth be told anyone who doesn't get the jist of this simply doesn't know the history HH
As long as the downtrodden aren’t the Kuwait people, transgender people, the Syrians who weren’t for Assad or the Ukrainians fighting against an invasion in their land. Then ya, I guess he’s for the down trodden
Tommy's 'sentimental' approach, I fully agree with. There is something far more important than 'success' and money earnings. I don't want to give up on any of that to follow after a hyped up, English money league. Our far greater ambition is the European Cup, and however well we can manage to do in it.
Celtic's home success was not boring' or, in any way, easy. Just look at the Scottish Cups and league, last season. They were hard fought and a great 'double' win, in the end. They just scraped a win at Dingwall recently; so Ross County was, perhaps, not the best example of easiness for Celtic.
Rottenrow born💯 The amount of times, historically,that I've been racially abused is disgusting. With respect,I truly comprehend the path that the Irish Catholic diaspora has had to travel 🤍 GBTGC 🍀💚🤍🧡 Forever
Ah Galloway, the man who shared a podium with the Tories to tell us why staying under the union jack was the best thing fir Scotland! And now you fight for the freedom of Palestine! You let Scotland down
@@Johco I get that and I understand it, it still would not stop me watching George or this podcast. There is not a perfect political party or system in any country in the world. I try to listen to those who do not share my opinions so I can have a better understanding of division. I am a Scot living in the USA and trust me, there is no greater sideshow. I am being honest and polite in my comments, not sure of your comment on Tommy Robinson is meant to be a serious insult or just poor trolling. I am not trying to insult anyone. That is not part of my skill set. Choose to learn others before insulting them. It will get you far.
🥰Firstly WOW! I wasn't sure if some of my favourite episodes so far could be topped, my confusion was unjustified! All four take a bow, I have only seen Stevie twice now and I tip my hat. The insights into us a club and more importantly as supporters and all the baggage that we very ably carry, but also into politics that speak to us as Celtic supporters on a local and international basis, its about solidarity through experience and knowledge. My Irish roots probably happened about 1000 yrs ago, and I was brought up in protestant churches and the Salvation Army, I am now for sure a non believer, but being a Celtic fan and a Scot it has instilled values in me, especially when it comes to human suffering that will never ever change and I am very proud of my standards as a human being. To counter all points made would take me all night. During this entire masterclass from George which was like listening to Ian McKellen talk about the weather, I had one burning question in my mind. How did Tommy feel sitting next to not only a great politician but also someone who knows how to dress himself 😂! Joking aside, George is for sure the best dressed man ever to have graced the ACSOM. Also thanks George, I learned a knew word today, "misunderestimated". Only on Acsom. Throw these bhoys some money for absolute quality TV, free on the youtubes u choobs!
There are many voices and points of view within our support. Some you agree with and some you don’t. What we should NEVER forget is what we have in common, a love of supporting our great club. Hail hail. 🍀🍀🍀
@@onceatim67 That has been taken out of context. The point being made was that many of the games in Scotland are not as attractive as spectacles when compared to the box-office of the EPL. I'm not a fan of English football. I was for years, but lost all interest in it as it rapidly lost its soul. Personally, I'd watch Celtic at any level against any opposition before I'd watch EPL or even Champions League games (not involving Celtic, of course). PJD
I interviewed George for a CH4 doc on politics. We spent more time talking about Celtic afterwards over a drink that we did doing the one hour interview. Regardless of whatever you think of his often contradictory views, he is even even more charismatic in person than on screen. Hes got the Celtic charm and a glint in his eye.
For the life of me, I cant see what causes people to dislike George. He is the smartest politician in the UK and speaks out for the Palestinians where others don't
I admired Galloway until the referendum where he sold his soul for Tory gold. He harps on about freedom for every country except the country of his birth, he helped keep the jackboot on the neck of the working class as a result.
@@SigmaJAD The RED manifesto is no different to the Fascist variant; centralised control of power by controlling the minds of the people. Restriction of all independent thought, ensuring they abide to strict conformity that doesn’t challenge the agenda. Ultimately, they are two sides of the same totalitarian coin!
Aye, trying to restrict the selfhood/independent thought of others that don’t follow the party line, is the definition of Fascism. You soon discover, both the RED manifesto and the Fascist variant, are two sides of the same coin!
@@leannecampbell4551 What a nonsense reductive take. You cannot seriously be comparing the goals of communists, even the most extreme Stalinist vanguardists (which many would argue betray the core values of communism), to the philosophy of a jingoist expansionist ethnostate. I don't agree with a lot of Tommy and George's politics, nor am I a communist, and I don't really think they are either, but saying they are the other side to the same coin as fascists or even someone like Farage is absolutely insane and/or disingenuous. I don't know why people think it's an intelligent worthwhile take to look at any two positions and say 'Ah, two things, they must be at opposite extremes and therefore are the same thing. I am very smart, and so I know the true path lies somewhere in the middle.' That's how we get increasingly right-wing Labour and Tories, Labour tries to capture the 'centre' and shifts right, moving the Overton window to the right, then Tories find the middle ground between New Labour and actual fascists and shift right too, ad nauseum. We have Labour spreading misinformation about refugees, continuing the Tories' hostile environment policy, cutting fuel benefit, continuing the gradual death of the NHS, continuing the endlessly debunked austerity economics of Osborne and Cameron, fueling far-right sentiment and general disillusionment across the UK and you're going 'Thank god we don't have a socialist in power, you soon discover they're as bad as the fascists!'

Great stuff. Could listen to GG all night although his politics have in recent years have been far from my own beliefs, the most fantastic orator and without doubt, he is and always will be one of us. HH.
Superb interview and wonderful anecdotes from all. Great to see Tommy and George together showing their great support for Celtic and endorsing the stance of OUR Green Brigade giving support to Palestine in times of their dire need when so many are being slaughtered needlessly: the inhumanity of it all is criminal and it should be stopped now. Its great Primal Scream are giving their long held support too! Mon the HOOPS!
The terrible thing is that a lot of what Israel are doing isn't even reported in the British media. They are nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Israelis. Israel are trying to commit genocide on the Palestinian people yet that side of the conflict is never reported. It's a complete disgrace. I've been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause for around 40 years since I studied about the middle east at school. The Green Brigade are brilliant with their support of Palestine. I, as a Celtic fan, am very proud of them.
Whal, this was brave from Acsom doing a Galloway interview. As a famous Celtic fan his stories about the 67 European cup as a boy and other Celtic stories were fascinating and yes he is a very interesting man. However, he recently voted Tory in his constituency and he affirms his support for Irish unification but at that the same time campaigned aggressively for Brexit to keep Scotland out of Europe and then also campaigned for Scotland to stay in the union of the UK.Galloway is all over the place with his views and has become a social conservative. Also he does not solve problems for Muslims in the UK he goes to places and exploits Muslims then does nothing to improve their lives. It was a good interview but he isnt a Celtic fan worthy of the praise and fawning support that acsom have given him. If acsom are choosing villains and controversial characters id much prefer they interviewed Maurice Johnston then venal narcissist Galloway. It was good content, but Galloway come on. In
Absolutely sir! I was about to post something on here in response to some of the comments made about George, who in the past I have admired greatly for stances he has taken and the speeches he has made and such like. But every point you have made here is spot on. George is a definitely great disappointment to me now. He’s is in fact just like your favourite football player ‘in political terms’ that was at the top of his game and eventually at some point fkd it up! Meaow! (Celebrity Big Brother) eeeyuck! Just like Mo as a matter of fact!
@@pifflepockle Agree and I've always found Galloway smarmy and self-regarding.Oh yes the man of the people in his Oak panelled conference room in his Dumfries Farmhouse. PJD handled the interview well, but i couldn't elevate George in this way. I actually would prefer he interviews Maurice Johnston and really get inside what if was like to betray Celtic and live in Scotland day to day during that betrayal.That would be some interview.
Wee George looks after George. He gave up his principles a long time ago and when he stood on the same platform fawning over Nigel Farage I think that says everything about him.
What a show ! Bringing together my favorite Celtic podcast and my favorite politician on the same night. I watch George's shows twice a week. When it comes to winkling out the political elites and shaming them on air no one surpasses him. Remember to take George out for chips after the show lads. Thankfully Celtic hammered their opposition on Wednesday night.
Well done Paul, Tommy & Stephen. What an interview with the one & only George Galloway. Could listen to the great man speak all day. He is a supremely intelligent man and beacon of socialism and fairness. I feel immensely proud he is a Celtic man. How could he be anything else. God bless him 🍀💚
How can you condem Galloway if you are unwilling to hear what he has to say. I have watched him since his Hillhead days, not agreed with his views on everything,but he has been on the right side of history on numerous occasions. If you form your opinion from papers like the Sun, mail or the Star, try some Research on your own. Iraq,Northern Ireland, Palestinian cause and anti- semitic claims have all been made agai st him yet he is proven to be right.
@@ACelticStateOfMind why? Is he going to say he was only kidding. Honestly felt embarrassed for u guys having to sit beside the cardboard Celtic man when he said that
Always been a fan of George ,he has knowledge in abundance and says it as it is,great that he's a celtic supporter and reminiscing about my era,but I've got to say that having lived through the stein and o'Neill years,the joy jimmy Johnson brought me just supersedes Henrik. hail hail.
I hope that Celtic never go down south. We're a Scottish team. We should play in Scotland. I understand the temptation but I wouldn't be willing to sell the clubs soul for Money. Especially not English money
@@ACelticStateOfMind his comment of not being interested in Ross county v Celtic were disparaging as well as stating he’d rather watch the EPL! I think it’s a bit of an own goal having him as a guest
A must listen. Well done boys. Only thing I disagree with is Stephen saying we should take over Carlisle. What about the diehard Carlisle fans? Spare a thought for them here
I have to say that I went against my principles and listened to this. It was fascinating although I think George is prone to exaggeration and hyperbole. He said something I found interesting and had forgotten about. In the 60s and 70s the SNP were very much middle class, anti-Catholic and anti-Irish. This is not true now but many of my generation and my parents’ generation remembered this at the time of the referendum.
_"The SNP has a proud record of advancing and championing LGBTI rights while in government. We have delivered the most progressive and extensive equal marriage legislation, a pardon for historical ‘homosexual offences’, and equal civil partnerships."_ Short of outright prohibition of the Faith, this is about as anti-Catholic as it gets.
Even if you do not like him personally, he has met some of the most iconic people of our era. One thing about George he knows his stuff and seldom changes his opinion.
Could not stop listening to this from start to finish. Thankyou so much. I'm an Irishman ,a republican and a Celtic supporter and so proud of the thousands of Fans who proudly hold aloft the Flag of Palestine and will never bend the knee. It is in our DNA its who we are and the foundation stone of Our Great Club. Go raibh maith agat 💚🍀🇮🇪☘✊
@@ACelticStateOfMind dont know what you expected from me all i saw was George jumping on a bandwagon AGAIN , i was a fanboy of George here in Oslo where i live, i sung his praises and he turned out to be all about George selling his own country down the river for his walk on part in a foreign parliament, the man let Scotland down and proved himself to be nothing more than a pathetic wee house Jock , free Irland, Palestine, and Scotland no exceptions, bloody embarising to have him associated with the Celtic ...
Well said Tommy Celtic's place is in Scotland not in Gateshead or Carlisle.... and Norway has its independence and has wealth in abundance George unlike Scotland
Just can't with this guy. A political roaster of the highest order. A truly nasty man to those who know him well. No harm though. I'll be back next week too watch. @@ACelticStateOfMind
When George said everyone in Palestine is aware of the support towards them from the Glasgow Celtic I was close to tears. It means a lot that they know we are fully behind them.
We are fully behind them? Speaking for myself I’m behind the innocent Palestinian civilians especially the children but Hamas are just as bad as the IDF and I won’t support that
only the FAR LEFT bigots who hate Jews ( Green Brigade ) support the Iranian pogrom against Jews...the vast majority of the fans are neutral ..or couldn't give a toss
Have you watched the show David? Here’s a genuine request - go and watch the last ten minutes on Palestine. Then let me know what you think of the episode 👍🏻
@@ACelticStateOfMindhis comment is on Sheridans status as a Celtic fan and you answer with asking him to watch 10 mins on Palestine. Answer the question or r u afraid to
My guess is that when he was working as an MP or MSP (I can’t remember which), he would have to keep his footballing allegiance to himself for fear of alienating the electorate - it happens all the time with public figures. Now that he is out of politics he can now be more vocal about the team he supports? Just a theory !
I’d like to know if there’s intellectual bandwidth to be sympathetic towards the people of Palestine whilst absolutely condemning how Hamas are handling everything?
I implore Celtic to involve ACSOM, Celtic Exchange, 20 Minute Tim’s in their fan media. The fan based media is head and shoulders above the official club one. This, for me, is where Celtic go wrong. They don’t listen to the fans. This must change, it needs to. 🍀🍀
Excellent as always PJD et al. George is an interesting and somewhat confusing character. He once campaigned for Scottish Independence - now advocates the Union, whilst waxing lyrical about his support of Irelands cause. Surely a huge contradiction?
I'll never forget working in the Mines in Australia l got involved in a massive dispute the foreman in mount lsa said to me you Glasgow blockes are so well educated in this shit you run rings around the bosses it's so funny listening in to them trying to handle you Go for it l have for it lad it was terrible but the ore body will will be here be here they won't be here l lost my job but we are here we are strong under another mining mob these not good people however we still here what an educate l had in Glasgow thanks to George and love that background gave me l have retired however lm in the struggle looking after poor people who are first nations l love them love you George god bless Celtic bless god you all
We all have our own views on politics religion etc. However, if you are human being who wants Celtic to win football matches your ok with me! Celtic first Celtic last Celtic overall 🍀🇮🇪🏴✊🏻 his views on how our ancestors were treated coming from Ireland is absolutely spot on! Stories about Fidel Castro are amazing 😂🇨🇺 My final point his views of Irish Republicanism sit well with me! TAL 🇮🇪
As see-through as George is, I enjoyed the Celtic chat as I do with every guest; regardless of their persona, as it’s important to try and separate the two when 'exclusively' discussing Football/Celtic. This one however, was a real struggle! The hyperbolic working class rhetoric still spouted by an aristocratic Fabian like George, was an insult to anyone’s intelligence. The same when his mate and fellow Fabian ‘Charlatan Corbyn’ plays the working class Royal Flush number. Fabianism is another toff-inducted Shhh-Society, which if you even have a base level of discernment in symbol literacy and the encoded Gematria they obsessively use, you will know it’s just another branch of the Fraternal Lodge system. Its founders give that game away first and foremost (as do its former Etonian members), followed by their coat of arms; a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing, telling you quite literally, they are a covert front operating within the Scottish Rite. Watch out for the thumb getting pressed hard between the second and third knuckles of many of the 'established' hands George shakes. The guy is evidently a pawn in their game! Furthermore, the obligatory utopian glorification of Socialism in Cuba and Venezuela (and their vile dictators) from George, was once again complete and utter pish talk of the first degree! Something which was sadly allowed to pass without even any remote objection. On the several occasions George flew out first class to meet his good buddy Castro at his palace, he definitely skipped 80% of its landscape, which has been absolutely decimated by Socialism. Despite Machado and Batista ruling as they did, pre-1959/Castro Cuba was the most advanced and successful country in Latin America, and on the verge of true Democracy. The people of Cuba have and will continue to suffer for decades, not only from economic misery, but more so from the worst form of poverty; the severe lack of even the most basic of freedoms. All systematically created by the Socialist dictatorships that came before; None more so than Castro. It’s no coincidence that his former chief bodyguard described him as a “medieval overlord”. Exact same for the people of Venezuela too under his other buddy CHAVez, which prior to both his terms, went from a rich and powerful democracy to a Socialist dictatorship which eventually collapsed royally on its erse. Same for Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil and Vietnam. Its not until you actually visit these places and see them with your own eyes, do you learn the Socialist utopian propaganda you’ve swalloped whole your entire life, is nothing but a complete myth! As for the Palestinian plight, no amount of virtue-signalling hot-air from either George or Tommy (or anyone else) will ever end an occupation that was established in 1948, especially when the majority of world Governments who have backed them since then, are still firmly under the thumb of the Cult of Zion; who own and control everything! If both really want to see change, they, like the rest of the hypocrites should stop paying John Bull aka Taxes, which directly funds the State of Israel. But, of course, they won't.
@@leannecampbell4551 It would have been far easier & simpler, so the likes of MultiJoe could understand, to just say it's ALL the Jews fault & so it's ONLY them to be blamed for EVERYTHING....
There is a lot to cover there ...I guess you are not a socialist .I can only wonder how you ended up on this site. The Palestinians are a downtrodden people and the rest of the world should stand with them.That is why I applaud the Celtic support. Don't start about Venezuela and Cuba.....they have been persecuted by America and her allies or should I say lapdogs because any government that works for the ordinary working person can not be allowed to succeed.....Corbyn ❤
@@frankbrennan1619 Not my belief, Frank, otherwise I would have said it as plainly as that. Zionism is responsible, not the Jews, which as any True Torah Jew; be it most of the Orthodox sects, Reformists or even hardline Messianic Jews from as far back as 1892 have and will continue to attest (despise the mass censorship), is an ideological movement which diametrically opposed to the Five Books of Moses which form the Torah. It is the primary violation of the most sacred covenant all Jews make with God on Mount Sinai.
I like George and agree with most of his views, but his stance on independence has genuinely baffled me. Completely mind-boggling why he wants independence for everybody else on the planet bar his own country. How can you be a Celtic man a pro the British elite/establishment? Not having it. He really needs to let go of the bigoted Scotland of his past and move on. I'm from a Catholic family in Scotland, and we all support independence. Those days have passed, and he needs to accept it. He takes a dig at Alex Salmond at the start of the podcast being a Hearts fan. I've met Alex Salmond on a few occasions and he's as genuine as they come. Always has time for anybody who wants a chat with him. Again, not having his grievance politics.
Your stuck in a bubble of not being a free thinker , I’m neither right or left wing , I also don’t agree with any of the panel on illegal refugees , in Ireland where I stay now everyone in Dungannon are in East Tyrone , of foreign extraction ,are getting free food ( vouchers) ,free dental care , free housing (hotels) when the Irish came in to Scotland they never got free anything , so we’re not in the same boat as these foreign nationalists now , but maybe it would be ok if we all got free food and housing , why should local people be left behind .
Has anyone ever seen Galloway at Celtic Park? In my 50 plus years of going I've never seen him there once or even seen a photo of him there. He was my local MP in Hillhead and I never once heard him mention Celtic nor did I ever see him at church or hear of him going to church. I read Galloway's book on Neil Lennon and he had got all sorts of facts wrong for example saying Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn played for Eire. In that book he also praises Souness calling him a class act. Onto his radio show and live on air he said he liked the Queen and in fact served her as a waiter but worse than that... live on air, he kept saying his old mate Tommy Sheridan was a Rangers supporter. In summary, I find it difficult to believe a word the man says.
I support one of the top teams in Scotland and assure you Celtic is just another Scottish club and its fans are no different to fans of other clubs. A good blether all the same.
Having been involved at first hand in the Rochdale byelection and general election I don’t want to hear anything else from that man so I am ducking out. Will be back next week though.
Neil was a great player and great manager first time round.....but he is fully to blame for "that" season. He admitted himself that the players had downed tools. That was the time to go but he hung on and on and on and cost us the season. You cannot ignore that he was to blame.
He is absolutely not fully to blame, that's mental. He was successful before that season, is he fully to credit for that? In that case, do you think he decided fuck it I'm going to completely sabotage this season for a laugh? Or just drastically shifted his successful approach for no reason? A team is more than the manager. We had abysmal scouting and signings (let's sign the completely stationary Shane Duffy to play in a high line system, let's sign an average poacher used to working in a striking partnership and mostly use him in our system built around Edouard as a solo striker dropping deep for buildup play). We had multiple players who wanted to leave that the board seemingly pressured into staying 'for the 10', and then those same players couldn't leave their homes and had to play a full season with no fans. Lennon is far from blameless, and I think his abrasiveness probably made the dressing room even more toxic, but there were a bunch of compounding negative factors, it's mad to blame the failings of an entire club on one man.
@@MediaMushroom When you see that you are losing week after week and know that the players are downing tools....and you can see that you cannot change things....then yes, he was to blame.
@@cooldaddy2877 so because he was given a broken toolkit and didn't quit his job he's 100% to blame as one individual? not the people that gave him the broken toolkit, who could also have fired him and hired someone else? not the people working under him that downed tools? not the global pandemic? the rules preventing fans attending games while the players held on for one more season to win number 10 for those fans? while the other side of the city was a toxic cesspit and they got the relief of not having to play in front of their fans? should rodgers have quit when we lost our lead and then fell 12 pts behind rangers? when we had players like haksabanovic unhappy and downing tools?
@@MediaMushroom Broken toolkit? That "broken toolkit" was/should be more than capable of winning the Scottish title. The board are not to blame, the global pandemic affected all teams. No fans in attendance also affected all teams. The length of time that Rodgers had a bad run was nothing compared to what Lennon went through. And yes, there were plenty of shouts for him to g. So, if Lennon was still in the job, how long would you say is an acceptable period of losing?
Galloway is a Brit with a capital B! Love his stance on Palestine and Ukraine. Deplore his utter hypocrisy on Scottish independence. Scotttish NOT British! HH!
Lots of people saying we should keep politics out of football. Okay then, let Russian clubs and its national team back into competitions, and give Chelsea FC back to Roman Abramovich.
I was at school (2 years older than me) with one of the arseholes that assaulted Neil, and used to buy hash from the other guy, incidentally, that guy passed away a couple of years ago. Wee shame...
Money 💰 changed the dynamics of Scottish football before Rangers investment illegal or legal before all Scottish teams performed well in Europe the league was highly competitive first thing that should happen is change to summer football.
I heard from a very good source that Neil Lennon was a bit irked that he wasn't asked to contribute to Galloway's book about him and that Galloway never even ran the draft past him.
Theres going to be a europa league. This CL new format is the precurser to it. Then the epl will be secondary. Important that Celtic get into top 24 and qualify regularly. Then we will get the invite. Hail Hail 💚🍀🇮🇪

Lenny always a Celtic hero. Regardless of his last run as manager of Celtic
Irrespective of his politics/ stance on independence he is a voice for the repressed and downtrodden and the courage of his convictions.
He’s a social conservative who believes in “traditional values”
I don't give a flying fuq what his beliefs are he is 1 of us and the truth be told anyone who doesn't get the jist of this simply doesn't know the history HH
As long as the downtrodden aren’t the Kuwait people, transgender people, the Syrians who weren’t for Assad or the Ukrainians fighting against an invasion in their land. Then ya, I guess he’s for the down trodden
Tommy's 'sentimental' approach, I fully agree with. There is something far more important than 'success' and money earnings. I don't want to give up on any of that to follow after a hyped up, English money league. Our far greater ambition is the European Cup, and however well we can manage to do in it.
Celtic's home success was not boring' or, in any way, easy. Just look at the Scottish Cups and league, last season. They were hard fought and a great 'double' win, in the end. They just scraped a win at Dingwall recently; so Ross County was, perhaps, not the best example of easiness for Celtic.
Wow...what a show , hands down my favourite ACSOM ever

Great show everyone, especially the last part. Free Palestine.
Ah Galloway, the man who shared a podium with the Tories to tell us why staying under the union jack was the best thing fir Scotland!
And now you fight for the freedom of Palestine!
You let Scotland down
It's always good to listen to the people you disagree with, it decreases division, regardless of political leanings the episode was a very good one.
And backed Farage 100%
@@Johco I get that and I understand it, it still would not stop me watching George or this podcast. There is not a perfect political party or system in any country in the world. I try to listen to those who do not share my opinions so I can have a better understanding of division. I am a Scot living in the USA and trust me, there is no greater sideshow. I am being honest and polite in my comments, not sure of your comment on Tommy Robinson is meant to be a serious insult or just poor trolling. I am not trying to insult anyone. That is not part of my skill set. Choose to learn others before insulting them. It will get you far.

@paulj7497 fascists like people to shut up, fair nuff. Freedom of speech and intelligent retorts seem to be your forte sir
🥰Firstly WOW! I wasn't sure if some of my favourite episodes so far could be topped, my confusion was unjustified! All four take a bow, I have only seen Stevie twice now and I tip my hat. The insights into us a club and more importantly as supporters and all the baggage that we very ably carry, but also into politics that speak to us as Celtic supporters on a local and international basis, its about solidarity through experience and knowledge.
My Irish roots probably happened about 1000 yrs ago, and I was brought up in protestant churches and the Salvation Army, I am now for sure a non believer, but being a Celtic fan and a Scot it has instilled values in me, especially when it comes to human suffering that will never ever change and I am very proud of my standards as a human being. To counter all points made would take me all night.
During this entire masterclass from George which was like listening to Ian McKellen talk about the weather, I had one burning question in my mind. How did Tommy feel sitting next to not only a great politician but also someone who knows how to dress himself 😂! Joking aside, George is for sure the best dressed man ever to have graced the ACSOM.
Also thanks George, I learned a knew word today, "misunderestimated". Only on Acsom.

Personally, I'd watch Celtic at any level against any opposition before I'd watch EPL or even Champions League games (not involving Celtic, of course).

I interviewed George for a CH4 doc on politics. We spent more time talking about Celtic afterwards over a drink that we did doing the one hour interview. Regardless of whatever you think of his often contradictory views, he is even even more charismatic in person than on screen. Hes got the Celtic charm and a glint in his eye.

Fantastic show guys. Love him or loathe him, he’s got a Celtic state of mind. And thats what the shows all about. All about opinions. 👏🏻🍀🍀

Brilliant show,Big George is some man,really enjoyed it, well done to all involved 👏
I admired Galloway until the referendum where he sold his soul for Tory gold. He harps on about freedom for every country except the country of his birth, he helped keep the jackboot on the neck of the working class as a result.
Cracking phrase that m8. Gonna remember that one👍
I don't sit well with some of Tommy's comments. We, Celtic supporters, can have differing viewpoints to others. We are not all sheep
@@SigmaJAD The RED manifesto is no different to the Fascist variant; centralised control of power by controlling the minds of the people. Restriction of all independent thought, ensuring they abide to strict conformity that doesn’t challenge the agenda. Ultimately, they are two sides of the same totalitarian coin!
Aye, trying to restrict the selfhood/independent thought of others that don’t follow the party line, is the definition of Fascism. You soon discover, both the RED manifesto and the Fascist variant, are two sides of the same coin!
@@leannecampbell4551 What a nonsense reductive take. You cannot seriously be comparing the goals of communists, even the most extreme Stalinist vanguardists (which many would argue betray the core values of communism), to the philosophy of a jingoist expansionist ethnostate. I don't agree with a lot of Tommy and George's politics, nor am I a communist, and I don't really think they are either, but saying they are the other side to the same coin as fascists or even someone like Farage is absolutely insane and/or disingenuous. I don't know why people think it's an intelligent worthwhile take to look at any two positions and say 'Ah, two things, they must be at opposite extremes and therefore are the same thing. I am very smart, and so I know the true path lies somewhere in the middle.' That's how we get increasingly right-wing Labour and Tories, Labour tries to capture the 'centre' and shifts right, moving the Overton window to the right, then Tories find the middle ground between New Labour and actual fascists and shift right too, ad nauseum. We have Labour spreading misinformation about refugees, continuing the Tories' hostile environment policy, cutting fuel benefit, continuing the gradual death of the NHS, continuing the endlessly debunked austerity economics of Osborne and Cameron, fueling far-right sentiment and general disillusionment across the UK and you're going 'Thank god we don't have a socialist in power, you soon discover they're as bad as the fascists!'

That’s the best one yet , listening to George in such a relaxed manor was magical, 10/10 🇮🇪
Superb interview and wonderful anecdotes from all. Great to see Tommy and George together showing their great support for Celtic and endorsing the stance of OUR Green Brigade giving support to Palestine in times of their dire need when so many are being slaughtered needlessly: the inhumanity of it all is criminal and it should be stopped now. Its great Primal Scream are giving their long held support too! Mon the HOOPS!
The terrible thing is that a lot of what Israel are doing isn't even reported in the British media. They are nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Israelis. Israel are trying to commit genocide on the Palestinian people yet that side of the conflict is never reported. It's a complete disgrace. I've been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause for around 40 years since I studied about the middle east at school. The Green Brigade are brilliant with their support of Palestine. I, as a Celtic fan, am very proud of them.
Whal, this was brave from Acsom doing a Galloway interview. As a famous Celtic fan his stories about the 67 European cup as a boy and other Celtic stories were fascinating and yes he is a very interesting man. However, he recently voted Tory in his constituency and he affirms his support for Irish unification but at that the same time campaigned aggressively for Brexit to keep Scotland out of Europe and then also campaigned for Scotland to stay in the union of the UK.Galloway is all over the place with his views and has become a social conservative. Also he does not solve problems for Muslims in the UK he goes to places and exploits Muslims then does nothing to improve their lives. It was a good interview but he isnt a Celtic fan worthy of the praise and fawning support that acsom have given him. If acsom are choosing villains and controversial characters id much prefer they interviewed Maurice Johnston then venal narcissist Galloway. It was good content, but Galloway come on. In
Absolutely sir!
I was about to post something on here in response to some of the comments made about George, who in the past I have admired greatly for stances he has taken and the speeches he has made and such like. But every point you have made here is spot on. George is a definitely great disappointment to me now. He’s is in fact just like your favourite football player ‘in political terms’ that was at the top of his game and eventually at some point fkd it up!
Meaow! (Celebrity Big Brother) eeeyuck!

be some interview.

Wee George looks after George. He gave up his principles a long time ago and when he stood on the same platform fawning over Nigel Farage I think that says everything about him.
What a show ! Bringing together my favorite Celtic podcast and my favorite politician on the same night. I watch George's shows twice a week. When it comes to winkling out the political elites and shaming them on air no one surpasses him. Remember to take George out for chips after the show lads. Thankfully Celtic hammered their opposition on Wednesday night.

How can you condem Galloway if you are unwilling to hear what he has to say. I have watched him since his Hillhead days, not agreed with his views on everything,but he has been on the right side of history on numerous occasions. If you form your opinion from papers like the Sun, mail or the Star, try some Research on your own.

Excellent podcast. Galloway is such an intereting character.
I have to say that I went against my principles and listened to this. It was fascinating although I think George is prone to exaggeration and hyperbole. He said something I found interesting and had forgotten about. In the 60s and 70s the SNP were very much middle class, anti-Catholic and anti-Irish. This is not true now but many of my generation and my parents’ generation remembered this at the time of the referendum.
_"The SNP has a proud record of advancing and championing LGBTI rights while in government. We have delivered the most progressive and extensive equal marriage legislation, a pardon for historical ‘homosexual offences’, and equal civil partnerships."_
Short of outright prohibition of the Faith, this is about as anti-Catholic as it gets.
Top episode. I wish this was longer. A watch along of the U Senate hearing would have been fun
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thanks PJD & GG 🍀
Even if you do not like him personally, he has met some of the most iconic people of our era. One thing about George he knows his stuff and seldom changes his opinion.
Could not stop listening to this from start to finish. Thankyou so much.

My guess is that when he was working as an MP or MSP (I can’t remember which), he would have to keep his footballing allegiance to himself for fear of alienating the electorate - it happens all the time with public figures.
Now that he is out of politics he can now be more vocal about the team he supports? Just a theory !

As see-through as George is, I enjoyed the Celtic chat as I do with every guest; regardless of their persona, as it’s important to try and separate the two when 'exclusively' discussing Football/Celtic. This one however, was a real struggle!
The hyperbolic working class rhetoric still spouted by an aristocratic Fabian like George, was an insult to anyone’s intelligence. The same when his mate and fellow Fabian ‘Charlatan Corbyn’ plays the working class Royal Flush number. Fabianism is another toff-inducted Shhh-Society, which if you even have a base level of discernment in symbol literacy and the encoded Gematria they obsessively use, you will know it’s just another branch of the Fraternal Lodge system. Its founders give that game away first and foremost (as do its former Etonian members), followed by their coat of arms; a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing, telling you quite literally, they are a covert front operating within the Scottish Rite. Watch out for the thumb getting pressed hard between the second and third knuckles of many of the 'established' hands George shakes. The guy is evidently a pawn in their game!
Furthermore, the obligatory utopian glorification of Socialism in Cuba and Venezuela (and their vile dictators) from George, was once again complete and utter pish talk of the first degree! Something which was sadly allowed to pass without even any remote objection.
On the several occasions George flew out first class to meet his good buddy Castro at his palace, he definitely skipped 80% of its landscape, which has been absolutely decimated by Socialism. Despite Machado and Batista ruling as they did, pre-1959/Castro Cuba was the most advanced and successful country in Latin America, and on the verge of true Democracy. The people of Cuba have and will continue to suffer for decades, not only from economic misery, but more so from the worst form of poverty; the severe lack of even the most basic of freedoms. All systematically created by the Socialist dictatorships that came before; None more so than Castro. It’s no coincidence that his former chief bodyguard described him as a “medieval overlord”.
Exact same for the people of Venezuela too under his other buddy CHAVez, which prior to both his terms, went from a rich and powerful democracy to a Socialist dictatorship which eventually collapsed royally on its erse. Same for Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil and Vietnam. Its not until you actually visit these places and see them with your own eyes, do you learn the Socialist utopian propaganda you’ve swalloped whole your entire life, is nothing but a complete myth!
As for the Palestinian plight, no amount of virtue-signalling hot-air from either George or Tommy (or anyone else) will ever end an occupation that was established in 1948, especially when the majority of world Governments who have backed them since then, are still firmly under the thumb of the Cult of Zion; who own and control everything! If both really want to see change, they, like the rest of the hypocrites should stop paying John Bull aka Taxes, which directly funds the State of Israel. But, of course, they won't.
I fell asleep midway thru reading this … think you’ve gone too far as they used to say in chewing the fat.

@@frankbrennan1619 Not my belief, Frank, otherwise I would have said it as plainly as that.
Zionism is responsible, not the Jews, which as any True Torah Jew; be it most of the Orthodox sects, Reformists or even hardline Messianic Jews from as far back as 1892 have and will continue to attest (despise the mass censorship), is an ideological movement which diametrically opposed to the Five Books of Moses which form the Torah. It is the primary violation of the most sacred covenant all Jews make with God on Mount Sinai.

I like George and agree with most of his views, but his stance on independence has genuinely baffled me. Completely mind-boggling why he wants independence for everybody else on the planet bar his own country. How can you be a Celtic man a pro the British elite/establishment? Not having it. He really needs to let go of the bigoted Scotland of his past and move on. I'm from a Catholic family in Scotland, and we all support independence. Those days have passed, and he needs to accept it. He takes a dig at Alex Salmond at the start of the podcast being a Hearts fan. I've met Alex Salmond on a few occasions and he's as genuine as they come. Always has time for anybody who wants a chat with him. Again, not having his grievance politics.
Your stuck in a bubble of not being a free thinker , I’m neither right or left wing , I also don’t agree with any of the panel on illegal refugees , in Ireland where I stay now everyone in Dungannon are in East Tyrone , of foreign extraction ,are getting free food ( vouchers) ,free dental care , free housing (hotels) when the Irish came in to Scotland they never got free anything , so we’re not in the same boat as these foreign nationalists now , but maybe it would be ok if we all got free food and housing , why should local people be left behind .

Has anyone ever seen Galloway at Celtic Park? In my 50 plus years of going I've never seen him there once or even seen a photo of him there. He was my local MP in Hillhead and I never once heard him mention Celtic nor did I ever see him at church or hear of him going to church. I read Galloway's book on Neil Lennon and he had got all sorts of facts wrong for example saying Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn played for Eire. In that book he also praises Souness calling him a class act. Onto his radio show and live on air he said he liked the Queen and in fact served her as a waiter but worse than that... live on air, he kept saying his old mate Tommy Sheridan was a Rangers supporter. In summary, I find it difficult to believe a word the man says.
I support one of the top teams in Scotland and assure you Celtic is just another Scottish club and its fans are no different to fans of other clubs. A good blether all the same.
A thank you to the man on the right for stopping Lennon from swallowing his tongue that night
Having been involved at first hand in the Rochdale byelection and general election I don’t want to hear anything else from that man so I am ducking out. Will be back next week though.
That’s a pity you’ll be missed. Not.
Wet wipe
Brilliant show guys
How could we ever forget the brilliant speech in the senate 👍👍👍👍
George you have had an extraordinary life thus far.
May you have many more years 👍
Neil was a great player and great manager first time round.....but he is fully to blame for "that" season. He admitted himself that the players had downed tools. That was the time to go but he hung on and on and on and cost us the season. You cannot ignore that he was to blame.
He is absolutely not fully to blame, that's mental. He was successful before that season, is he fully to credit for that? In that case, do you think he decided fuck it I'm going to completely sabotage this season for a laugh? Or just drastically shifted his successful approach for no reason? A team is more than the manager. We had abysmal scouting and signings (let's sign the completely stationary Shane Duffy to play in a high line system, let's sign an average poacher used to working in a striking partnership and mostly use him in our system built around Edouard as a solo striker dropping deep for buildup play). We had multiple players who wanted to leave that the board seemingly pressured into staying 'for the 10', and then those same players couldn't leave their homes and had to play a full season with no fans. Lennon is far from blameless, and I think his abrasiveness probably made the dressing room even more toxic, but there were a bunch of compounding negative factors, it's mad to blame the failings of an entire club on one man.
@@MediaMushroom When you see that you are losing week after week and know that the players are downing tools....and you can see that you cannot change things....then yes, he was to blame.
@@cooldaddy2877 so because he was given a broken toolkit and didn't quit his job he's 100% to blame as one individual? not the people that gave him the broken toolkit, who could also have fired him and hired someone else? not the people working under him that downed tools? not the global pandemic? the rules preventing fans attending games while the players held on for one more season to win number 10 for those fans? while the other side of the city was a toxic cesspit and they got the relief of not having to play in front of their fans?
should rodgers have quit when we lost our lead and then fell 12 pts behind rangers? when we had players like haksabanovic unhappy and downing tools?
@@MediaMushroom Broken toolkit? That "broken toolkit" was/should be more than capable of winning the Scottish title. The board are not to blame, the global pandemic affected all teams. No fans in attendance also affected all teams. The length of time that Rodgers had a bad run was nothing compared to what Lennon went through. And yes, there were plenty of shouts for him to g. So, if Lennon was still in the job, how long would you say is an acceptable period of losing?
Thrown a monkey wrench in the engine wi this one 😂
Is that milk in that red cup?
Great podcast, great story's.
Galloway is a Brit with a capital B! Love his stance on Palestine and Ukraine. Deplore his utter hypocrisy on Scottish independence. Scotttish NOT British! HH!
Independence for anyone but Scotland, eh George? A roaster of a man.

Simultaneously a plastic jock and a plastic paddy.
He dislikes the SNP brand of indy and remembers how they voted with the tories, prior to the corporate rebrand
@@David-gu8mx If you can’t see through George Galloway I truly pity you
@@David-gu8mx So he dedicated all his energies to ensuring Scotland remained under Tory rule for another decade. Plastic socialism.
No way round this one we're getting an absolute doing tonight! Genuine ....Real genuine concern it's going to be WORSE than dortmund
Lots of people saying we should keep politics out of football. Okay then, let Russian clubs and its national team back into competitions, and give Chelsea FC back to Roman Abramovich.
Another brilliant show almost had me in tears talking about solidarity with the Palestinians and the flag display.
So much to love about this vid
I was at school (2 years older than me) with one of the arseholes that assaulted Neil, and used to buy hash from the other guy, incidentally, that guy passed away a couple of years ago. Wee shame...
Money 💰 changed the dynamics of Scottish football before Rangers investment illegal or legal before all Scottish teams performed well in Europe the league was highly competitive first thing that should happen is change to summer football.
I heard from a very good source that Neil Lennon was a bit irked that he wasn't asked to contribute to Galloway's book about him and that Galloway never even ran the draft past him.
We’ll ask Neil when he’s on 👍🏻
@@ACelticStateOfMind I'll ask him myself when I see him Byres Rd.
