A goal down in the second half, having not made a chance worthy of the name. But the Celtic story was going to be told. Hearts pushed, kicked and wasted every possible second of the opening 82 minutes of the Scottish Cup Final. Their game plan worked, for 10 minutes the outcome looked in doubt, until Odsonne Edouard out-witted Heats ‘keeper, Zlamal. Instead of shooting the Celtic striker knocked the ball forward. By this point Zlamal’s momentum was unstoppable, he cleared the Celtic striker off his feet. The penalty was inevitable and a consequence of the maturity of a 21-year-old.
Odsonne’s craft for the winning goal was better still. He was off like lightening after Mikael Lustig’s header put the ball beyond the Hearts back line. Watch Odsonn’e body shape, he opened his foot and drew his right shoulder back, as though to place the ball to Zlamal’s bottom left corner. The keeper followed the body language but Odsonne turned his foot at the last minute and chipped the ball into the opposite side of the net. It was delicious.
I did not think anything in domestic football could match the Invincible Treble, secured in such drama against Aberdeen in 2017, but as this journey of success has continued, the drama, the importance of each subsequent trophy, mounts.
Yesterday we retained the Scottish Cup for the ninth time in our history; the first time we won three-in-a-row and the first time in world football a Treble Treble has been completed. Whatever it is that we are living through right now, let it’s reign be long and glorious!
Condolences of the family and friends of Harry Hood, who we lost earlier. Harry was part of the successful Celtic team on the early 70s and was the last Celtic player to score a hat-trick against Oldco Rangers. On leaving football became a successful business man, running some of the best restaurants, hotels and pubs in Lanarkshire.
With the Treble Treble only minutes in the history books, Celtic wasted no time in confirming Neil Lennon would become permanent manager. We will pick this up later.

G’day cobber, i haven’t seen Emma for a coupla weeks but i take
it she’s dancing about the peninsula somewhere with the hoops
on? what a ghirl.
Reading one of your posts there and you said you didn’t know any
Celtic supporters who wanted Lenny but you know i wanted him
and Paddymac is happy and you know us.
Or did i get that wrong as usual.
H.H Mick
P.S looking forward to your next visit downunder.
Petec 12.00am
I am getting destroyed on the unhappy site … I love Mick (love his Da more) … I want to be cosy Corner Bhoy when am bigger ….
About 6weeks ago I called Sentinel Celts … Senile Celts at the same time I called CQN the grey brigade … funnily enough nobody mentions that part .. at 22.30pm tonight ….. it was posted that GFTB bad mouthed Billy McNeill and made fun of dementia???? Whether you like my posts or not is there one poster out there that actually thinks I was making fun of Billy or dementia ?????? There’d your “other channel” for posters who know Bobby and me he sort of agreed but said fuck all ….maybe like P67 his blog is more important than real life :-)
GFTB
Buzzing he wiz Bach for the 8

GFTB, don’t believe for a second you would make fun of dementia! BUT, you have bad mouthed sentenial celts on a few occasions, you were glad to post on on it when you thought you were red carded from here ! ?anyway hope you’re good ! FWIW, think sentenial celts is a brilliant site HH

Thank you ….
The Maestro put the ball into space and let Anton or Chris get on to it
Cheers
Managed to watch the game this afternoon.
Impressions
WC is a magician.
KHe managed to add 5 minutes on to the end of the game. There were no injury stoppages in the second half and we saw 5 subs.
At the normal 30 seconds per sub, how did Willie manage to get to 5 minutes?
What was his motive?
Was he enjoying the match too much?
Did he want a Celtic player to receive a serious injury, especially as he had let Hearts players off with hacking, kicking, pulling, holding and kicking for the initial 91 minutes?
Shirley he wasn’t hoping for a Hearts equalizer and extra time?
Nah not Oor Wullie.
GFTB,
Strange days when I’m aligned with the DUP- Abortion, same sex Marriage.
It’s Gods Story.
Celtic is Blessed.

I have never been red carded from here and can assure you I posted on Sentinel Celts for one reason = Mick and am pretty sure he will tell you that
Personally I would prefer him on here and I told him that about 90mins ago
If you have read the posts do you think they were poor ?
I don’t care too much for the posters but we all have been touched with dementia … hopefully I try and not look for fake … wishes
Anybody else think Lenny and Broony as a dream team could
bring us the ten?
Or would that make some of the naysayers heids burst.
H.H Mick
Petec 12.32am
I probably shouldn’t post this but you bring the best out of me :-)
Mrs GFTB was around 40 with two grown up girls … I thought I was Jaffa (seedless) since o had been on the bones since MacAvvennie delivered in 1985 …. so come 2008 around 10/09/2008 … the same day wee Oscar Knox was born ,,,, best day of my life
Celtic is just Celtic … life is life
Melbourne Mick,
Lenny should be playing Broonie a lot less.
There is no doubt that Broonie has been exceptional in what he does.
Play Callum as the Sole defensive mid and he will unleash so much, IMO.
Petec12.32am
I missed my own point … my good lady was told “at your age you have to consider things”
She looked at me with a very sad face .. me being me said …. we will deal with whatever we get …. MissGFTB is a wee star …. why do some people think they can play god
That will probably happen next season, think Broony will
be lined up as assistant coach.
I know the huns heids would burst at the prospect of those
two doing the ten lol.
H.H Mick
Reading back I’m struck by the certainty that posters, some, declare that the majority of Celtic fans do not want Neil Lennon as manager.
Are they basing that on their circle of like minded friends?
The vocal minority on Celtic blogs?
James Forrest’s hatred for anything the board do?
Until we see how much money Neil will get to bring in fresh blood
Until we see who gets taxi fares
Until we see how much money he gets to build a back room team to continue the scientifically based methods
Until we see what kind of side he builds
Get behind the team, the manager and the board.
GG 12.47am
You must be on the wrong site with logic like that :-)
GFTB,
Make sure you let your Good Lady know that you Love her Big Time.
Nice talking Celtic again ghuys, got to go and tie down the
garden furniture, there’s an icy blast howling through Victoria.
Must be the Ragers coming..ha ha.ha ha.
H.H Mick
GFTB , no problem fella, Having met you in real life my guy feeling tells me you are a good and decent guy , we have had our moments on here ?! But seriously would gave a pint together if you wanted no problem! But! Think you get a bit personal sometimes
weebawbabitty on 27th May 2019 12:51 am
A wee dayoot, me, you and GFTB……
Sometimes
Lenny started all of this.
Gerry! Guy means gut ! Gave means have! Anyway agree let’s enjoy the treble treble HH
IMO the tame reception to NL getting the job, was the kite flying, and totally unrealistic shite in the media, which the Club would have loved.Mourinho ,AVB,Benitez……ffs,if embdae thinks Celtic will pay a manager £5mil plus a season, you’ve got rocks in your head ,following BR was always a hard gig.Neil has my full support, but football has moved on since last time he was here,he needs to up his game, and move with the times.I wanted a Tim in the dugout next season and ive got one.
Weebawbabbity 12.51pm
Brilliant
I get personal, from you who actually admitted to trolling me
Think about it
I enjoyed Mchuills but have a wee minute to yourself you “asmitted” to trolling me …. I don’t think if I go for anybody on here but I can assure like real life anybody comes for me … am easy to find
PETEC , not a problem mate HH , DD , get posting our friend
My only concern with Neil coming in is the budget he’ll get for the coming season. I know in his first tenure he brought in players like Forster, Mulgrew, Ledley, Murphy, Hooper et al, not bad for his first buys. HH
!!Bada Bing!!
Neil needs a mega Support network.
I’m confident Celtic will get 9 in a row. Celtic will spend what they have to spend to get what Celtic needs to Keep on Winning.

PETEC,
Time to unite as a support…as i’m sure we will.
Hail Hail.
Fred C Dobbs,
Neil is hardcore Celtic.
Looking at things only Rafa Benitez would have had me confident of putting up with the STRANGE Scottish Established Cheating.
I Hope the Celtic Board really Back Neil Francis, he deserves to be backed BIG TIME.
