and our next most important game will be Motherwell on wednesday
one game at a time is the way forward, and playing Maloney

Agree entirely Paul, I don't like Kilmarnock trips at the best of times.
A victory would be a massive boost in my eyes.
Good to hear about John Kennedy.

Afternoon all,
I've been a busy little beaver.
Have a look at The Greatest Memories in the world.... ever and let me know what you's think.
As it says it still needs work so let me know whats needed.

Premier league tv update for y'all.
Good work TBE!!
-
For a number of years now, playing the second cousins of William away has been a true test of our mettle.
I am sure that if we play to our full potential, we will run Killie ragged.
However we will need intelligent players to unlock Kille when they use 10 men behind the ball.
With Nakamura, Maloney, Petrov and Lennon deep - I'm sure we'll be good.

Alfred Nobel,
From the previous thread - is that the sponsorless hoops available for collection now? I've had mine on order since the beginning of May and the 7th of November was the last I'd heard they'd be ready.
You can get the new black kit sponsorless as well now - no 6 month wait though.
-
t.b.e.-you have given us something to keep us warm through the long arctic winter.well done!tonight we shall toast you in aquavit!
the league is going to be tight this season and there will not be many easy games,but our new look team is setting fresh problems to the opposition.
thompson out,maloney in.
fire and skill,celtic,fire and skill!

Good work TBE
But I was expecting to see a picture of BBJ on the site....Ohhh you said memories!..
Coat in hand.....
Good to hear from the press conference Paul although it seems our wee admiral...(is an admiral higher ranking than a little general?)is saying less and less to the press every week...
I think we will go with Sutton and Beattie again...with Naka and Maloney both playing- lennon and stan in the middle...with BBJ left to think about more training for another week...
At the back I'm hoping Agathe gets the nod this week...(I doubt voicing his opinion in public did him any favours mind you)....ON the Agathe front I notice that both times he has come on he has been used as a winger....IMO I think thats a waste of his talent......the guys born to play as a wing back...
Come on the hoops...

...from previous thread. Well done TBE.
more memories...
‘Appearing’ in the BBC Scotland Centenary Year documentary – the cameras were at a home match against Dundee United and I'm seen clearly standing relatively impassive (as usual) in the Jungle while all around is mayhem...walking along the Gallowgate among thousands of fhans towards Celtic Park for the clincher against Dundee and meeting someone I knew who asked…where are you going, Chris?…the number of times we won in the final minutes of a game that year...the last seconds of the Scottish cup final.
...the centenary Scottish cup final transformed by a brilliant Provan freekick and a McGarvey diving header...joyous!
...Partizan Belgrade match that inspired James MacMillan to compose “The Berserking”. Exactly.
...taking a spurs fan to see Celtic for the first time in infamous match at home against Rapid Vienna. By the end of the match he'd been brought up with green and white blood from birth. another convert.
..1989 Scottish cup final and before the match the massed celtic fans are short-sleeved or shirtless on the terracing as the sun belts down from the sky - it was roastin’...someone from behind fires a verbal volley at the tfod hordes – look at that shower o’er there shiverin’ in their winter coats and hats and scarves wi’ greetin’ faces and chatterin’ teeth-!
...first old firm match 1980 Scottish cup final was a journey from joy to fear and disgust; despair as drunk 'celtic supporters' rain bottles down on their own support from the back of the terracing as tfod thugs charge across the pitch to assault the celebrating youngsters spilled onto the park as the trophy is lifted; fear at being trapped on a train back to Ayrshire with hundreds of tfod thugs baying for blood; disgust as a tfod thug in his 30s jumps off the train at Paisley Gilmour Street to viciously thump a young boy for wearing the hoops. It was the last time I wore a Celtic scarf to a game. I still have that scarf. I didn’t go to another Celtic tfod match for 5 or 6 years.
...first ever Celtic match at age 5 or 6 in ’67 or ’68 when my uncle lifted me and my brother over the turnstiles at an evening match against maybe St Johnstone or some other team in blue and the sheer thrill as we emerged into bright dazzling floodlit light and the wall of noise hits from the Jungle across the park. overwhelming.

Cheers lhads,
Subterranean copy your 'memories' post onto the thread, I'v copied the previous ones but it up to all y'all to keep it going.
I was thinking of speaking to St. Anthony about a dedicated quiz thread, what do you think?
TBE.

Gary Irvine will sign a 3 year deal at Celtic
-
I think we should restore Hartson to the starting line up at the expense of Sutton. I think that there are more goals in the Hartson / Beattie combination.
I would like to see Agathe in the team also however I would be reluctant to 'mess' about to much.
How pleasing that people are asking for Maloney to be playing and that Beattie is now (almost) 1st choice in the absence of the Pole without the bowl!
Here's to another good performance and 3 points from that horrible little place.

Gary Irvine contract - saw him at Fulham -season and he looked good.

Kilmarnock are rubbish. This is the team that spent £20k on their transfer budget this season which included buying players from junior teams.
If we cannot beat a team with those credentials we are in a bad state.
What is the story with Adam Virgo? That's three months we have given him to get fit. Is he really rubbish ...as the rumours I am hearing suggest?
With regards Du Wei, I would not be surprised if he does not play for Celtic, and is shifted out in January. I hope I am wrong.
TERNAR
-
Sounds like big John has been told to work harder to regain his place in the team. With several players chomping at the bit to get into the first team squad will keep those already there on their toes.
Could only get to see bits of the reserves game, du wei, agathe pearson, mcgeady, virgo, lawson all looked comfortable and ready to push for a place this can only be good for us.

Thank goodness you published something fresh; the previous thread was taking so long to open on my screen that I eventually gave up.
Good to hear that Du Wei is nearer to the first team as he is an impressive player. Interesting, too, to see Michael McGlinchey and Michael Gardyne starting for the Reserves, with Simon Ferry coming on as a sub. I get the feeling Strachan won't be scared to promote these lads if he feels they're ready.
He has his sights set on a VERY bright future for Celtic fans. Unfortunately, it seems Hartson, Thompson, Varga and Agathe may all belong to our past. We've seen the best of them and January may well be the time to move them on.
Strachan's vision for Celtic is being compromised by his unwillingness to totally snub certain members of O'Neill's old guard. He needs to show courage and daring.
The sight of Hartson and Thompson warming the bench at the start of Sunday's match will be a sure sign that he is starting to fully grasp the nettle.
I've expounded my views on this subject, Celtic's Youthful Future, at greater length on my ain wee blog:
http://celticfcblog.blogspot.com
Cheers,
JohnBhoy
-
Traditionally Rugby Park is a difficult place to go to and as Paul alluded to, we haven't exactly been winning crunch games with ease. I'm confident we will do it with a bit of style for some reason.
I'm not sure that Strachan is picking the team based on reputation. I think he selects the team based on his thoughts. I think the decision to play Thomson was the 'plan' not his reputation.
-
TBE - Well done, great work. At least whenthebigmancomeshomefaetherigshewillbeabletocatchup:-)
-
Totally agree JohnBhoy, once WGS overcomes the fear of dropping the old guard, who from what MON said are pretty strong personalities in the dressing room, we'll surely benefit. Maloney must start on Sunday, as must Beattie. Did anyone watch Sutton warming up on Saturday? I've never seen anyone be so openly half hearted in all my life - Regi Blinker put more effort into his tackles than Sutton did in the warm up behind the goals! I thought he did okay in the game, but I'd maybe start with BBJ and Beattie this time, with Maloney in for Thommo and Agathe in for Telfer.
-
Personally I'm hoping for another one of those hilarious interviews with Jovial Jim Jeffries where he claims Celtic's fourth goal was offside and that was the turning point of the match.
Apart from Alex McLeish he is surely the manager we all love to see greetin' on the TV after his side get beat.
Oh and a great effort TBE, you are to be roundly applauded for that great piece of work. Paul, when TBE is happy with his greatest memories blog can you put a link to it under the Celtic Links section on this site?
-
Paul,
as you say we have only won once against the top half of the league but then again we have only lost once at aplace where we could lose no matter how good we were/are
again you mention how tough it is on the road these days but then again we did beat hibs who are in top half of the league
as most have pointed out rugby park is a stiff test but always has been
so what i'm saying (again i know) is the stats mean nowt at this time of the season. have a wee look at xmas but reserve judgement till may.
-
Agree Paul - after last week I thought 'its only Kilmarnock..' now I am not so sure. Its a long time since we played them when they have been winning.
Maloney for Tommo and I totally agree with Hartson for Sutton - ball sticking to Hartson better at the moment. Rest as they were last week. 2-0 .
I wonder how it will be before we accept that winning just the majority (rather than all) of our games and drawing some is going to have to do - and will still be well good enough to win the league.

Hello Bhoys & Ghirls, TFIF.
Supreme work TBE.
I have been away for a week and have just been catching up all the postings. It's great to see a bit of dewy-eyed harmony among the Hoopies as opposed to the loose women type bitchfest that has been seemingly occuring this week!
Put the claws away Ghirlies!
Without wishing to appear over confident, I ain't in the sloghtest bit worried about the killiesillybillies game on Sunday. We had a similar test earlier in the season when we went to Easter Road. We passed that test without too much bother from the metrosexual moptop brigade(We would have passed with flying colours but for some poor finishing-which, Livi game apart, is a problem which still dogs us).
Wee Shaun must start. I know that it will probably be a real physical ding-dong on Sunday(when is it anything else at rugby baw park) and WGS may be tempted to throw Thommo in again, but we are far more fluid without him in all honesty so lets not get dragged into an SPL slugfest-lets give them a true footballing lesson and make jum jeffries even more glum than usual.
3 points in the bag on Sunday, then we begin to think about exacting the most brutal revenge on big tel's motherwell side who, needless to say, have caused us tremendous heartache in recent times.
Hail hail.
-
Has Archie Knox broken back into Murray Park? Nieto is out for 6 weeks.
Must mean a chance for 'Big' Stevie Thompson or the fox outside the box again.
Plus I see that the Jackie out for the season rumour was genuine. I'm very sorry to hear that despite our acrimonious parting. Wonder if it was that little rat ganea that done it this time
-
Forgot to say earlier-
Utterly delighted that Kennedy has only suffered a slight setback and that his career ain't over. When(not if) he comes back WGS will be spoilt for choice-JK, Bobo, Mick and Scooby(who I am looking forward to seeing making his debut hopefully soon). Any 2 from 4.
-
I know it sounds cocky but I'm genuinely not that concerned with Rangers at the minute, they dont deserve it.
Maloney MUST start, if I had heard myself saying that last year I'd kick my own ar*e, no disrespect to Shaun but no one could forsee the impact he'd have this seaso (except his mentor Lubo maybe). 4-1 to the Hoops.
Thanks to everyone, it is YOUR posts afterall!
(Whitedoghunch- the man with the plan)
Special thanks to Paul67, I was worried you thought I was trying to steal your thunder. As I knew you were planning a 'Celtic Memories' thread of your own but it took off from nothing the other night with great success and I thought it would be a shame to lose those posts.

Does anyone know what happened to Gavin Rae for Rangers?
Although there is a good chance of it being physical game on Sunday I think Maloney actually puts himself about more than Thompson (going by the performances agaisnt Hertz anyway). In fact, coming on as a sub, Maloney puts himself about more than just about anyone on the park. Sometimes you need a wee skillful player to win loads of freekicks against physical sides and cause problems with players gaining yellow cards... what's the point in being big and strong if you can't risk a challenge? That's why I hated it even more When Dougal booked Hartson for nothing against the Huns - it effectively took him out the game.
-
I think Rae is currently filed under 'what was I thinking' by McLeish!
They will always concern me, gives me shivers just thinking about them there! However, it is more important to catch Hearts, do that and we'll be ahead of them!
-
Be warned, the language is colourful to say the least....

I've just checked out the Los Angeles Celtic supporters web site linked in the previous thread - superb site lhads.
I watched the Willie Maley video they have linked - nearly brought a tear to my eye (and I could make it nearly all the way through Little House on The Prairie without greetin nae bother, that's how tough I am) - does anyone know who wrote the Willie Maley song???
-
Hi all
Dont understand why Killie should a significant test for us the way we play with SM and Naka in the team. We must though win the battles all over the pitch in order for victory to be achieved. Respect yes fear and a stand off approach no chance. Make it happen dont wait on it happening.
-
That link to "putfile.com" doesn't work, but having found the video clip that was pointed at I'm pretty gutted that the police did nothing and also embarassed that Celtic fans would conduct themselves in this way.
I'd have happily watched idiots like that getting arrested.
On a lighter note, I like this defence against singing sectarian songs :
"If 20,000 people are singing the Billy-Boys, why arrest three of them? Why not arrest all of them?"
So 20,000 people sing sectarian songs at Ibrox? A Rangers fan is saying this? Somebody tell David Murray!
-
MON played with wingers and big strikers (and a wee Swede who could rise like a salmon). That was his philosophy, simple football, down the wings, get it across. (Forget the high-ball fiasco in the last season).
Agathe (you'll be surprised at the number of assists), Thompson (you won't be surprised), as the main suppliers with McNamara another major supplier and a few more along the way.
WGS doesn't, he relies on the creativity along the deck with two 'supply' men. Maloney and Naka are the two on-form. If they are not on form then we'll struggle as the supply from the back up plan (wing backs) has not been great.
I hope the supply men are on form on Saturday, without them we will struggle to create chances, as seen last weekend when one of the two supply men was poor, in fact both were in truth but such is the relationship that if one is poor the other will also be by default.
The pressure unfortunately is on wee Maloney because he is getting no relief from Thompson at the moment.
Am I rambling? It makes sense in my head.

Guys, excuse the sidetracking for a moment but help me out here.
I'm looking to piece together a FAQ page ("an FAQ" sounds better!?) and want suggestions about what should be in it. (Off the top of my head, amortisation, common abbreviations, how to post hyperlinks...)
I'm just off out to the pub this minute so won't be doing anything tonight but if you lovely people can email me ('this username' AT gmail.com) then I'll get going on a working copy.
I'll also post a page with said ideas so that you can check what's there before submitting more.
Once the page is finalised, it can be integrated into this site, under celticquicknews.co.uk, rather than my "how to create a hyperlink" which is under stevie21.com
Excuse the rushed post here - vodka beckons.
Have a great weekend everyone.
p.s. Anyone got any great ideas for something I could do for my faither? I'm taking him to Wednesday's Motherwell game as a birthday prezzie. Anything I could add? Name over the tannoy?
"Name in lights" haha. Anyone?

Stevie21,
FAQs to get you started...
Who is the mason in the black?
What does Gavin Rae look like?
David Murray - how does he get away with it?
Alex McLeish - how does he get away with it?
OJ Simpson - did he really get away with it?
Seriously, great idea - some kind of Dummies Guide to each Section of the Celtic Accounts would be helpful....

Stevie21:
Know just the thing to cheer your Dad up.
Book the three Celtic strippers as a wee surprise.
They are in huge demand and they definately give value for money.
They are all different shapes and sizes,and some of them even add on transfers.
Their fees are reasonable and you might still be able to get them at short notice.
Oh aye,their names Agathe, Marshall and, Hartson!
-
Noel90
good stuff - like the picture on your profile - all I did was follow Stevie21's cryptic instructions
Paul67/Steve21/TBE great to see this site and associated links moving onto ever higher levels of responsiveness
Hopefully it will be good for the team to have a concentrated series of league games over the next week - at least we know we have a strong squad to fall back on - unlike some of our rivals - it seems to me that if Prso were to get injured it could become a straight East-West 2 horse race very quickly
Quiz question - what is the largest lead that has been overhauled in the SPL and its predecessors?
-
I see in The Scotsman that Rangers have scored anotable double in C.L.They top the charts with most frees conceded a whopping 75 and 9 ahead of second place Lille.Dado Prso heads the individual list with 15 fouls.To alleviate my paronia would somebody confirm that they occupy a equally lofty perch in the SPL and have not failed to achive this standard due to biased refrees refusing to reward their best efforts
-
Thanks to our good friends in Los Angeles and Kians' Dad for posting the original link-click on this and watch alex rae kicking the Moscow player in the head(ouch !) amongst others- I feel like I,ve spent most of the day with L.A.C.S.C.........

Sundays match:
Don't think WGS will tamper much with the team.
BBJ will again start on the bench,and it's possible Maloney will as well.
What we need is a full 90 minutes off the type of form showed in the first half hour V Hibs.
Personally i hope WGS has a brainstorm and plays three at the back.Not much bothered which three but i feel this is the sort off game for five across the middle and, one of the wide men being Agathe.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the CQN quiz where opportunity knocks for you quiz fans. And what other site would you expect Hughie 'Green' to be on ??? And I mean that most sincerely folks.........

Sweden
Bulgaria
Turkey
Norn Iron
and............Scotland !
There was one smart ass amongst you who said Cyprus and he was right also (although I never had it !).
And for tonight - another cryptic one.
What is significant about these 3 games at Paradise and what did they have in common ?
3 may 1967 celtic 2-3 dundee utd
19 apr 1969 celtic 2-2 airdrie
25 mar 1970 celtic 1-2 aberdeen
Answer to be posted later tonight. As usual we'll have a break at the weekend to concentrate on the current team, but I have 2 or 3 goodies for next week.

The memories blog yesterday was different class and TBE has done some sterling work on it.
A lot of my funniest memories were of happenings going too or retuning from a game.
Hope someone starts a blog on these because some off them were classics as i'm sure others will testify with their own!

What about a 'first' thread.
First game = nov '72 Celtic 4-2 Hearts (Hearts in the Ajax strip ).

St. Anthony:
If my memory serves me right we failed to win those games which were our final matches before playing in various cup finals.

Jon G - you are right in what you say but there is a stronger answer.
-
Jon-
Just those references you keep making-"Angelina this....Angelina that...Jennifer the wee f,n bitch..
have you seen my new movie?.."
Things like that.....
St. Anthony-
As the rangers chairman once said
"you,ve got me stumped this time..."
noel.
-
Jon G - Strachan's vision is to have Agathe and Telfer competing for a place at right back. Similarly, on the left side he wants to bring in another full back to challenge Camara. Telfer was also bought for his versatility. He can do a job on the left and might well replace Camara if the stakes are high. Mind you, I don't know who is the safer bet.
I am glad to see that Celtic will be looking to add to the midfield in January. Stachan knows the game better than anyone and will seek to bring in an athletic central midfielder. Ultimately the plan will be for his player to replace Lennon and partner Stan the new captain.
These additions will make us a more complete team and success on the field will dictate how much quality we can add in the summer. But you can be gauranteed that the scouting will be extensive and that Stachan's options will be clear a few months before the season finishes.
-
ST. Anthony:
Did we score an own goal in each match?
If not,i am working from memory and may need some off the black stuff to bring back the years!
-
St, Anthony-
I was at that hearts game in november 1972.
I remember hearts in their "Ajax" strips but they didn,t play like them.
Was it very foggy that day?

Following on from you:

First Old Firm game
1979 Celtic 1 Rangers 0

First European tie
1979 Celtic 4 Partizan Tirana 1
First Away European tie
1984 Ghent 1 Celtic 0

2003 Seville
In response to your quiz. If Celtic had won these games they would've won the league? But they didn't and the strange sequence of Celtic winning none of the 9 in a row championships at celtic Park was created.

I have to say, a complete guess based on what I knew about the Dundee Utd game!
-
Truetim:
You have summed WGS methodology very well.
I have to say i have been harping on for some time now about the need to dominate the midfield area ,and by doing so you take loads off pressure off all other areas off the park.
You are also correct when you talk of WGSs understanding of the need for strength in depth in this area,and like you i look forward with anticipation to seeing who he brings in in January for this key area.
I've got to add however that no matter who else he delivers i hope we get young Wilson from Dundee Utd. He is the best full back prospect i have seen for some considerable time.

First game Celtic Vs East Fife March '54. Celtic won 4-1, but my memory is one of John Higgins scoring twice while I stood down the front in the pouring rain in complete awe of my surroundings.
Second game was even more memorable. St. Patrick's Day, 1954 afternoon midweek game at Broomfield and we walked to Airdrie to attend.
Remember when we had 3 days holiday for St. Patrick's and St. Joseph's holidays of obligation?
We won 6-0 at Broomfield and Hail Glorious St. Patrick was ringing out in the sunshine.

Guys (or the older seniles like myself)
Does anyone remember the reserve games from the late 60's and early 70's?
My Granda used to take me to the reserve games at CP to "learn my trade" as it were.
The games were played mainly on a Friday night and the only part of the stadium opened was the main stand.
For me it felt like being really well off being able to sit in the stand. We were like most supporters a bit poor to say the least and could only afford to go to the Terracing during the main games.
However the reserve matches could be watched in comfort and it was there that I seen my first sight of players like Danny McGrain, George Connelly and Kenny Dalglish.
They were heroes of mine long before they got to the first team as they were my first and regular taste of "paradise"

I see greetin face jeffries complementing our playing style under WGS, that probably means they`ll try and out muscle us, tough tackling time. Speaking of which did anybody notice the article in the scotsman. The huns are the dirtiest team in the champions league. 75 fouls so far in three games by far the worst.
Was it mentioned in the Record or Sun ?

Shamrock. Used to go occasionally especially before a Rangers game when the reserves would play the Friday night before a game. I remember we went to the enclosure though. Saw big Doug Baillie one night get a runaround I believe from Vic Davidson, but I could be wrong.
