An Unforgettable Tuesday and Share Selling Shenanigans - Celtic Da Weekly

That was the week that was

Hello, good morning, and welcome to the Celtic Da Weekly. A thought struck me this week—why have I never started one of these with “Hail Hail”? That’s peak Celtic Da behavior, and I’ve missed a trick. But we’re nearly a year deep into this column, so it’s far too late to start now. If I ever get back into podcasting, though, I’ll make up for lost time—just opening every episode with an unhinged, drawn-out “HAAAAIL HAAAAAIL” like I’m summoning the ghost of Willie Maley.

Anyway, what a week. Tuesday was pure box office. These kinds of high-stakes, dramatic occasions usually aren’t available via the live stream, but I thought it was a brilliant broadcast, which I, for one, have been watching on repeat over and over again. And what a spectacle—one side absolutely up for it, determined to make a statement, sticking to their game plan and refusing to be overawed by the occasion. The other side? Well, they looked rattled, unprepared for the gravity of it all, left reeling by a sequence of events they simply didn’t see coming. You could see them thinking, “things like this just don’t happen here.”

And just when you thought it was all over, we had a dramatic last minute shocker that had everyone gasping for breath. I don’t think any of us can genuinely say we’ve ever seen anything like it.
