Remember it had a long running story the history of the Hunnites and Timmites , one line i remember was ' Hunnites began knashing their teeth , the Timmites would have done same but they had knashed their teeth so much they had no teeth left to knash'! I knew someone who worked in printers and they tokd me they had printed the XMAS Special NOT THE VIEW, the boxes were stacked up (double the normal print run i was told) awaiting it to be collected (the printer was only a mile from Celtic Park) and the local CID Cops from London Rd appeared and told the printer there had been complaints from individuals at Celtuc FC and suggested / warned the printer was liable for any Defamation (a threat ) , as they left they asked the printer could they have any 'complimentary' NOT THE VIEWs for London Rd for the Cops !!!! They were given some. I remember that XMAS issue which had a Rangers Team including Hitler, Stalin, Ghenghis Khan, Klu Klux Klan, Souness, Murray etc VERY VERY funny, was told every one was sold first day and it was reprinted for next match.

Once again Tino a fantastic podcast. It provides the younger fans a knowledge of where we have come from to the success of today. It further underlines that if you don’t freshen up a board then you ultimately pay a price.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers Fredo, thanks for tuning in and for your ongoing support 👍

[@willwilson1356]

Another excellent video. Great to see Gerry and Joe in rude health and as rebellious as ever. Pioneers.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks Willie, guys were in great form 🍀

[@buisty1888]

Tino can't express my delight with this compilation of all the videos and hard work out of the world HH

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks Buisty, delighted you've been enjoying the series 🍀

[@IronBhoy]

I loved these fanzines. We would be howling laughing on the way home in the car after a game reading aloud the satire. Very clever writing. There was an underlying seriousness about what we the fans knew where we were heading and these guys produced a highly entertaining mag that I used to collect. So annoying that I’ve somehow lost them. I’m defo up for a hard copy request. 💚🍀💚

[@TheCelticExchange]

Brilliant stuff @IronBhoy You can order NTV online here >> ntvcelticfanzine.com/

[@garyhoward4216]

Another great podcast in a superb series. NTV was required reading in those days. Never forget the red cards at Ibrox in March 1988. HH.

[@TheCelticExchange]

100% Gary, great stuff from the guys 🍀

[@F81]

Was wondering if there were any more coming. Bravo Tino 👍

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks @F81 hope you enjoy this one

[@jamesdaly4040]

Us older guys lived through these turbulent times, but it's scary to realise how much I had forgotten about them. This series will be referenced by future celtic historian's. So we'll done guys truly remarkable.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks James, really appreciate your support across the series 👍🍀

[@CJ-rl3xo]

My old English teacher Mr Dunbar - what a lovely guy and great teacher, as well as legend of the Celtic support Hail Hail 🍀💚🍀

[@TheCelticExchange]

Gerry & Joe were brilliant! Thanks for watching 🍀

[@tommym1990]

Good series guys, have enjoyed them all so far and look forward to listening to this one too. Would be interested in hearing Willie Haughey's perspective or someone from his group too, if you are taking suggestions! All the best.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers Tommy, glad you've enjoyed. Yes Willie definitely has a story to tell 👍

[@gerry_b_Celtic_Da]

Nice work Tino. I had already left Glasgow by the time NTV first appeared and I recall rolling about in laughter as I read those early editions down in London. It brought and still brings connection to Celtic's grassroots, the fans. That was its strength: Cektic from a fan's perspective. I remember the red card issue and as well as those who disgraced the Hoops, referred to in the film; something also about Handsome Hunz plus some of the games played on folks' names were hysterical : Terence Oliver Cromwell Slaughterhouse Butcher. WIld. It was a significant part of the process that lead to change so only right to feature its leading lights. I am looking forward to the book!

[@ronnieglavin2416]

Quality again Tino , gotta say whole series has been a great watch/listen, and believe theres more to come ,magic stuff 🇮🇪 🍀

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks Ronnie, glad you've enjoyed. More in the pipeline...

[@skwelchoskwelch4597]

This was absolutely beautiful to hear these two talk about everything, the effort and passion they've put in over the years. Hopefully can hear them chat more somewhere online but away to buy some physical copies 💚

[@TheCelticExchange]

Gerry & Joe were brilliant. And great that NTV is still very much alive and kicking 🙌

[@josephdocherty5977]

Cheers Joe! 9 episodes in total, Jock Brown is the most recent one 👍

[@thomasbradley4833]

Excellent show once again, has been a fantastic series.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks Thomas, appreciate it 🍀

[@vmryan1964]

Tino, wow! what a great interview, as a Graphic Artist myself of that era, like Joe, I can relate totally the way publications were produced. Definitely no Photoshop in those days! Off to Lisbon on the 25th - if you know of a pub in the City to watch the SCF, it would be much appreciated. Regards. Vince 🍀

[@TheCelticExchange]

Great to hear Ryan and glad you enjoyed it. Gerry, Joe and others have produced some brilliant stuff over the years. Have a great time in Lisbon, what a date to be there! 🙌 Not sure the best bar for the game but celticbars.com is the place for that 🍀

[@kevingrant2301]

We need the new museum built to document and set in stone all these achievements of these great people who all put their shoulder to the wheel to push the club forwards to where we are today,and for more people of the next generation to keep the board accountable to the fans,I've loved these podcasts showing us these boy sticking their necks out to stop the exploitation of our club to greedy owners who were on self preservation mod 💚🤍💛

[@fredoconway6894]

Totally agree Kevin.Whatever happened to the boards vision of a hotel, museum and ticketing office? It’s went strangely quiet.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Spot on Kevin., We've got such a rich and storied history and that deserves to be on display in a much bigger way than it is currently 🍀

[@mrgogolbordello]

Another fantastic edition, well-done guys.👍👍 HH

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers @mrg appreciated 🙌

[@Johnniebhoy83]

Fantastic episode, Tino. As the guys said at the end there, we can't go into another season unprepared. We won't have turned the corner until we are well-stocked and actually ready for a European campaign.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers Johnnie. A return to a competitive Celtic in Europe has to be the next step.

[@monti4035]

Remember as a young lad buying my copy of NTV & AN PHOBLACHT from the corner of Jane field Street before paying into the,Jungle.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Yep, and you can still get NTV these days (Behind the LL stand!) 👍

[@aidanmckendry2412]

Tino another great episode a must watch series for all celts like we sing "if you know your history"

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks Aiden, really appreciated 🍀

[@grahamstewart615]

Respect for these historical podcasts. The guys are looking good considering they're now free bus pass holders ❤ If you want a good laugh get a hold of Gerry Mcsherry, the last person on the planet who supported the old board. Btw the Celtic Supporters Association claimed they couldn't say anything about the old board because of their constitution. The entire CSA committee resigned the Sunday before Fergus took over at a meeting I was at in St Michael's Hall on the Gallowgate.

[@monti4035]

Used to buy ' Once a Tim ' as well I remember

[@TheCelticExchange]

Brilliant stuff @Monti

[@annewood8965]

Another great episode in this fantastic series

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers Anne, glad you've enjoyed it 🍀

[@AlanWoods-wx2sb]

Another great interview Tino. Getting Not the View was the highlight back then compared to what was on the pitch.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Definitely Alan, some great stuff from the guys 🍀

[@buisty1888]

Still got my copies not the view

[@TheCelticExchange]

Great stuff. NTV's still on the go even now @buisty - available online (ntvcelticfanzine.com)

[@Caledonianboy]

Very well done.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks 🍀

[@moeszyslak7304]

Great listen that was. I'm surprised they don't start their own pod, or join up with TCE on a monthly slot ?

[@TheCelticExchange]

The guys were excellent Moe, sure plenty fans would be pleased to hear from them on a more regular basis 👍🍀

[@moeszyslak7304]

@@TheCelticExchange get them on!

[@georgecanning9004]

Another great episode Tino with Gerry&Joe listening it seems the old board in those days sounds similar to our board now.At least Fergus told you what his plan was this board don't think we are important enough to be told what the future holds.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Thanks George, Gerry & Joe were brilliant 🍀

[@craigycraigywhyte624]

Loved not the view was at that rangers game what a strike by billy stark nice memory 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☘️🇮🇪

[@TheCelticExchange]

Yeh Billy Stark was excellent. We had him on the show a while back - you can find it on our channel 👍

[@Emeraldabroad2771]

Brilliant Tino

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers @Emerald 🙌🍀

[@steveng6788]

This has been a brilliant series be amazing if you can somehow get the Bunnet

[@TheCelticExchange]

Its a real long shot Steven but we've made enquiries.

[@htcking9788]

A story i heard was that Billy mcneil had agreements with Gascoigne l, mcgrath and Steve Bruce after the centenary season and the board pulled the rug saying the team that won the double deserves to defend the double

[@TheCelticExchange]

Haven’t heard any of thise stories befire @htc but who knows There was definitely complacency by the board though

[@JK-dk6eq]

Fergus McCann is a celtic legend and should have more recognition at the stadium. Might have made 40mill but probably worked 70hrs a week for 5 years with massive risk and pressure. Publicly outed institutional bias against the club aswell.

[@TheCelticExchange]

The work he done in that 5 year spell was incredible @JK and its what laid the foundations for the celtic we see today

[@OwenSam-y4s]

Peter is way too hard on himself, ye don’t play that many games under all those managers if yer no a very good player, in respect of that😂 love the bones of this man🍀

[@TheCelticExchange]

Yep, absolutely. As committed a player as Celtic have had over the years 🍀

[@JK-dk6eq]

Great content..... BUT. Comparing the old board who oversaw austerity and an impoverished team to the sustainability and success of today is absolute madness

[@TheCelticExchange]

Not making a direct comparison JK but just asking the questions from guys who have experienced both at fairly close quarters 👍 Communication could definitely be better with modern day Celtic
