Ange, can we have a word? Ever thought of trying Odsonne on the left with Kyogo through the middle? When Odsonne first broke into the Celtic team, it was on the left side of the forward line, with Moussa Dembele leading the attack. In the three years since Moussa moved on, Odsonne has occupied the central position.
When we first heard of Kyogo we heard he was more of a wide player, or second striker, a bit like that guy we signed from Feyenoord in the 90s. Henrik Larsson was stuck in a peripheral striking position until emerging from Tommy Johnson’s shadow (cough) during season 1997-98. It was a change that transformed Henrik from a place on the Feyenoord subs bench into legendary status.
It may sound ridiculous to want to tinker with the attack after we score six goals but only one came from Odsonne or Kyogo and not every team has a goalkeeper like St Mirren’s. It feels inevitable that our man from Japan will eventually make the central position his own. I would switch them now, even during games.
The only surprise about the racist incident directed at Kyogo yesterday was its coverage in the media and statement from the offending supporters’ club. The entire squad has an opportunity to respond in the most appropriate manner possible on Sunday.

Hot Smoked, not suggesting you should do this yourself, but would be interesting if someone with enough time and technical editing knowhow could collate, update and regularly share a compilation of the honest mistakes this season.
Week 1: Beaton ignoring Re-arrangers offside v Livi, Graeme Stewart wrongly flagging Kyogo offside v Hearts
Week 2: Lundstrams reference to unreported covid cases in their squad not questioned by SFA or the press
Week 3: Handball penalty for Ross County ignored at Dingwall
Sure there’s been more than that already this season, but that’s a start…

It’s what you’d expect.
What’s galling though is that Celtic still use Parks busses.
What does it take for them to change provider?
Hot Smoked,

Does anyone have a link to the hand-ball `penalty` NOT given to Ross County v The Huns?
————-
The whistle had already blown for an imaginary offence before the ball arrived in the box for the hand ball, so it’s all academic.
The Onlooker
it makes my blood boil every time the huns are claiming
the moral high ground with regard to racism when its a known
fact that they are by far the most racist, bigoted and sectarian
club in the country by far and no one comes close
Hope Ange uses this latest racism as an extra motivator to help
hump the huns on Sunday
Although shouldnt need any motivation
Philbhoy and Petec
Thank you both.

It would be interesting and even though we could expect reciprication —StMirren`s `offside` goal and Christie`s possible/probable yellow card tackle — we would, I am sure , have a much stronger case.
Bike calls,
Cheerio for now.

Hallidays no red card for his assault on Calmac springs to mind and at least one red ” missed ” against Dundee
With the game covered worldwide on Sunday, don’t rule out Slippy G going to see Kyogo in the warm up,if Carlsberg done moral highground theft,here it comes
FrankTerry @ 7.08am , thanks for posting the Celtic by Numbers article about our full backs’ performances against Alkmaar.
Greg Taylor’s stats show he was not as bad as numerous fans made out. If Ange is happy with Greg until we sign someone better then his opinion matters the most. He has weaknesses in his game we are all aware of but while he wears the hoops and plays to his best , he’ll have my backing.

Bill Leckie is from foxbar in paisley and is a St Mirren supporter although when he was younger he would prefer sevco to us in a cup final.
Lackie should have been banned from CP ,after the Coughgate lies
Just got a message, there’s a rumour stadium capacities are being cut again, she is on TV at midday

I’m Sure Ronnie started then was immediately subbed….otherwise it wasn’t the last game they played in
I could be wrong but I’m sure I’m right
____________________________________________—
Was that not a cup tie at Shawfield? Ronnie was injured very early on and Tommy Gemmell played in goal. The final score was 1-1 or 0-0. Celtic easily won the re-play.

It’s being reported on the BBC that they don’t expect any rule changes despite the rise in cases.
PTS- only a rumour, hopefully nothing in it
JHB/Tam the ranter
Now we are getting sun journalists hitting nail on the head over your fellow unionists bootboys and fascist scum the orange order
….eh no thanks.
Remember the 97
and remember never seek truth from anything the bindippers at the scum write.

Thanks for that insight about Mr Leckie.
I coulda sworn he insisted on being a Falkirk fan – I could well be wrong.
Cheers
