ED (Please) don't go affyer nut. This is an observation, not a criticism! Honest. What drew me to this site was the honesty, passion, humour etc from all the posters. I just feel that over the last wee while the podcast has kinda took over. PLEASE don't get me wrong. I agree with everyone that you do a BRILLIANT job on here and I love the fact you're a nice ghuy. not like some of them. I would just like to hear other folks thoughts. Podcasts. brill. but is this not our bread n butter? Much Love. HH.

{Ed007's Note - This isn't my my bread and butter though. I spend 10 - 12 hours a day, 7 days a week on these sites, I'm here on bank holidays, Christmas Day, New Years' day and get nothing for doing it - using internet my mum pays for us every month because even though my wife works full time, the government don't give a $hit about the disabled.
Go on other sites/forums/podcasts and they're pushing merch, paid subscriptions to access content, putting stuff behind paywalls using things like Patreon and just blatantly ask for money. I tried - and failed - to raise money for a decent PC for myself to help make better content, I (we?) was hoping that maybe folk would pitch in a couple of quid a month (the price of a pint) and as it mounts up it would help me AND Paul get better equipment like mics etc so that eventually we would be in a position to get paid advertising or sponsorship - even when we did that with Manscaped we didn't get enough sales to get on their partnership program - and to get a Youtube Partnership.
There's one poster that sends £10 on the last day of every month, I told him to stop as he was the only one doing it and he told me to do what I wanted with it so I spend that on stuff for the foodbank when I get it.
I look on this as a job - being stuck in the house all day would drive me up the wall if I didn't have this to do and the podcast is just an extension of the forum that hopefully eventually brings in enough money for me to tell the DWP to ram it and give Paul a bung as well for all his hard work.
And to be honest I advertise when we're doing a podcast 2 hours before we go live and then put them up when they're finished and people comment, I don't see how that it's taking over the forum and as long as Ed001 and Ed033 don't have a problem - whuch they don't - myself and the forum/podcast will continue the way it is.
I'm not going off my nut, just explaining the situation.}

Well Ed you should’ve gone off your nut the op is baffling to say the least. I’m sure I speak for all on here that the effort you put in both on here and the podcast is commendable and should be applauded not questioned.

{Ed007's Note - Cheers, Welshy mate 👍

Ed pop the link to how can support you up on here and I will contribute too I didn't realise you have to pay everything out of your own pocket, I don't listen to any podcast stuff as I don't know how to listen to them but I will help if and when I can.

{Ed007's Note - Marco no need for that buddy, I was just explaining what I'm trying to do. You can find links to everything on HERE and you can listen to the podcast through any of the links depending on what platform you prefer. Get involved and come along on YT when we're recording them, there's a live chat runs as well and a good few of the lads - and other Celtic fans - are on that.}

Can’t please everyone Ed007,some people just like a moan.

{Ed007's Note - Perhaps mate 👍

07 Sep 2021 15:09:25
ed. a few of us tried to get a we fundraiser off the ground on the low low so you wouldn't chuck a benny lol. however the logistics became a bit of a nightmare. im still up for sorting it if anyone wants in.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah you let that slip out the bag when I spoke to you about a PC 👍🤦‍♂️

ED have you not considered doing the podcast on Twitch it's really easy to use and in my opinion, more user-friendly followers can subscribe donate and doesn't need to be on cam just a wee suggestion.

{Ed007's Note - The lads on here struggle to leave a comment on a YT video, can you imagine them on Twitch 😂😂 When I started the YT channel I got an email from a well known poster (who will remain anonymous to save their blushes) asking how to join YT, how much it cost to subscribe to the channel, how often it would be charged and did he get any other channel's included.}

07 Sep 2021 17:33:17
ed. we suggestion buddy in terms of trying to branch out on the podcast. be a good idea to start using the twitter page more mate start following a lot of Celtic related twitter pages would help with getting it out there more mate if your trying to grow the podcast buddy.

{Ed007's Note - We know John, we're still just trying to find our feet on Twitter, you know I hate it and Paul's only been on it a few months.}

07 Sep 2021 17:49:06
LOL I get what you mean it could be a good way to grow the channel and listeners as well though and it could be recorded simultaneously with yoochoob.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

07 Sep 2021 18:04:46
mark, i will be the first to admit that i forgot about donations, consider mines up and running in the next few days mate.

{Ed007's Note - You really don't need to do that mate.}

Just to let you know I personally appreciate what you and the other boys put into this and the podcast, and I know I’m not alone in saying that …. I’ve been coming on here for at least 5 years, I don’t have many Celtic supporting pals so when I want to talk Celtic this is where I turn too, I can be a moany c#nt and take offence easily and spit the dummy out when I feel people don’t read my posts properly or disagree with me (as I’m always right 😂😂🙈🙈) sarcasm by the way before someone starts but I can’t stay away, I just love talking about my club and can only do that thanks to yourself so cheers again.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, KP. I know I'm bias but I think this is the best forum out of all of them on here, you want to see some of the moaning and bitchy arguing that goes on in the English ones.}

07 Sep 2021 19:48:03
There's a podcast?

{Ed007's Note - Apparently so.}

07 Sep 2021 20:54:53
Stopped reading sports media a couple years ago this is were I get my info now! Keep up the great work guys hh.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Jic.}

This is me just properly catching up ed and paul are doing a great job along with all the other boys that are going on/ doing the podcast and saying it's taking over is laughable.
Hope your all keeping well, been really busy and no really had time to get to listen to the podcasts as I like to listen to them live and get in the chat.

{Ed007's Note - Cheers Will mate 👍👍

07 Sep 2021 21:18:00
No bother ed 👍
Whens the next podcast on?
Hows mickey doing? Can you pass on to him, I hope he gets better soon☘☘🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪 #YNWA.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not sure when we're doing the next podcast, Will I'll need to check with Paul. Mikey's a bit better and doing some work from home so fingers crossed that's him on the mend now.}

What a f***ing cheek of a poster who does nothing for the site. Don't go aff your heed carmylebhoy just my opinion.
