Another week, another gut punch for the champions.On this episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast, the bhoys react to a damaging 2–1 defeat at Celtic Park as Hibernian snatched all three points with a late winner against Celtic In what's been a season full of frustration, this one felt like a new low. We break down how the game slipped away, the big moments that defined it, and what it means for an increasingly fragile title race.A major talking point is Auston Trusty's red card — did it change the game entirely, or were the warning signs already there? The lads dig into the referee's performance, the decisions that had the stadium raging, and why so many of Celtic's first-team regulars once again failed to deliver when it mattered most.Off the pitch, we turn our attention to the recently released notes from the meeting between the Celtic Fans Collective and members of the club hierarchy, including interim chairman Brian Wilson. Andy gives us an inside look at what it was like to be in the room, explains the delay in publishing the minutes, and outlines the key differences between the Collective's version and the club's account. It's an honest and revealing discussion about communication, accountability, and the growing disconnect between supporters and the board.Finally, we look ahead — if that's the right phrase — to Celtic's trip to Germany for the second leg of their Europa League knockout tie against VfB Stuttgart. After a 4–1 first-leg defeat, is there any realistic hope of progression? Should wholesale changes be made with one eye already on this weekend's massive Glasgow Derby?It's therapy, it's analysis, it's passion — it's 4 Tims and a Podcast. Hosted on Acast.

It's a great Sunday for Hearts – and they didn't even have to kick a ball. Jonathan Sutherland, Scott Allan and Peter Løvenkrands break down another epic weekend of Scottish football. Celtic lose at home to Hibernian: do the champions have the performance levels required to bring the title back to Parkhead? And should they have been awarded a late penalty? Rangers drop two points at lowly Livingston – but do they now have a more realistic shot at the league than their city rivals? Hearts return to winning ways with a narrow victory over Falkirk. Does that result nudge them into the favourites' position? Are St Mirren bracing for a relegation fight? All that, plus Dundee claim a historic win at Aberdeen.

Vanen tro lukker F.C. Københavns fanradio transfervinduet. Det blev, som ventet, en meget stille afslutning på transfervinduet, hvor de væsentligste nyheder var, at Garananga udlejes til Hibernian i Skotland, og at kvindeholdet lejer Emelía Óskarsdótti, som er lillesøster til Orri. Udsendelsen er delt op i to dele. I første del diskuterer vi Garananga-historien, Corners nye skade, og hvad det betyder for angrebet, analyserer vores kamp mod Barcelona i Champions League, spørger om det store nederlag til AGF i træningskampen overhovedet har nogen betydning, ligesom vi evaluerer transfervinduet, hvor vi har sagt velkommen til Myrie, Richardson og Buta, ligesom Oliver Højer er vendt tilbage fra skade. Vi fik trykket på optagerknappen lidt for sent, og derfor starter del 1 lidt skævt i introen. Vi har derfor angivet tidskoder nedenfor. Vært: Mikael Milhøj Producer: Jonathan Ljørring Gæster: Michael Winther, Alexander Elverlund, Christian Kraglund Ekstern gæst: Daniel Nøjsen fra bold.dk Tidskoder: (00:00:00) - Introduktion - panelet vender historien om Garanangas udlejning, og hvad det betyder for forsvaret, både for forårssæsonen og den kommende sæson efter sommerferien. (00:12:44) - Åh nej, endnu en skade til Corner! Hvad betyder det for angrebet, idet vi ikke fik en erstatning? (00:26:46) - Vi analyserer Barca-kampen (01:01:08) - Vi vælger kampens spiller i Barcelona og evaluerer på FCKs samlede indsats i Champions League (01:29:16) - 0-4 nederlag mod AGF i den sidste træningskamp. Betyder det overhovedet noget? (01:37:40) - Vi evaluerer transfervinduet (01:50:57) - Vi ringede til Daniel Nøjsen fra www.bold.dk, som forklarede sit syn på FCKs transfervindue. (01:56:17) - Vi følger op på Daniels indspark, og vi evaluerer videre på transfervinduet. Vi snakker både om Buta, historien om at Zanka er kommet ud af kontrakten med L.A. Galaxy, status på vores talenter i førsteholdstruppen. Vi giver også transfervinduet en karakter
Vi fortsatte snakken i fanklubbens lokaler. Der skete dog absolut ingenting, og vi quizzede derfor i Michael Winthers medbragte quiz. Det blev til en længere quiz, men der var plads til både gode minder og at dvæle ved vestegnens store problemer i Europa. Efter quizzen snakkede vi om forventningerne til forårssæsonen og til allersidst blev nyheden om Garanangas udlejning til Hibernian offentliggjort. Der var vi dog allerede ved at sige godnat og sov godt! Vært: Mikael Milhøj Producer: Jonathan Ljørring Gæster: Michael Winther, Alexander Elverlund, Christian Kraglund Tidskoder: (00:00:00) - Vi quizzede, for der skete ingenting! (00:39:02) - Der skete fortsat ikke noget, så vi så frem mod en forårssæson, hvor FCK skal ud at jagte. Eller er pokalen måske vigtigst? (00:50:30) - Klokken slog 00:00 og nyheden om Garanangas udlejning til Hibernian blev offentliggjort. Vi sagde dog godnat!

Multi-club ownership groups have had a tough year in the eyes of many, with high profile cases around Crystal Palace & Lyon as well as Forest & Olympiacos showing the competitive risk of one owner or group having too much control over multiple entities. But, and it is a big but, this model can be a hugely valuable business and performance structure to apply to football.Tim Bezbatchenko is the President of Black Knight Football, the group who owns or has minority ownership in multiple clubs including Bournemouth, Hibernian, and Lorient in France to name a few. It's an amazing time to be having this chat with Tim due the success Bournemouth are achieving this season, miraculously after another summer of selling some of their best players. This is an insight into how they have built a player trading model to offset the financial challenges of having an 11,000 seater stadium, the plans to develop infrastructure, the value of shared intelligence and analytics across multiple clubs, and most importantly how you protect the badge of each team so they do not just become feeders to the premium asset in the group.This is a proper look at the MCO model from someone who firmly believes that collective value can breed the best business in football.
