Celts on The Rocks   This week I am joined by Lachie Mor and Duncan Smillie of Glasgow Rocks to discuss the current situation at Celtic.   We review the inept Ross County performance and then go on to discuss the nature of the vitriol against senior people at the club (manager CEO) and question if that is the “Celtic Way” - can we not disagree with the board’s decision on Lennon without being so disagreeable?  Duncan has a go at me for the agressive language of the Ferencvaros podcast.  Lachie is taken aback and patently didn’t listen to it!   We review the need to get more young players coming through the academy into the first team and generally wish this season would just go away.   Enjoy…

The excitement continues to build for The BBL Show as the season opener draws nearer! Episode 5 is jam packed as we start the show with a special surprise! Kipper Nichols joins in a short cameo to face off with Jay. Kipper played for the University of Illinois (USA), and he is excited to start his rookie season as a Sheffield Shark. In this episode, we recognize World Mental Health Day as we are joined by former Worcester Wolves and recent Cup Champion Kofi Joseph.

Kofi opens up about the challenges he has overcome with his mental health over the years, and he dives deep into the concept of Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is a false yet polarizing belief that one's success is fraudulent or undeserved. Kofi is not alone in this experience…. but we must say, Kofi is not an imposter; he is the real deal all day!!!. We finish the show with recently retired Great Britain National Kieran Achara as he was just named MBE. An amazing accomplishment to top off his great career as a beloved member of the Glasgow Rocks.
