“We weren’t as sharp as we usually are. A lot of my players looked tired, too many of them simply weren’t in this game,” said the Celtic manager after a 0-0 draw with Hibs, a result that would allow Rangers to close the gap at the top of the table to one point.
The manager in question was Wim Jansen after a game in April 1998, the “Rangers” in question was Oldco, not Newco.
Yesterday’s Celtic performance was miles better than the one 24 years ago and yesterday’s Hibs were superior to the Hibs team relegated back then. Those of us who were there, use it as a counterbalance when red lights appear to go off. You can win a difficult league even when you cannot win important games.
Wim, in his first (and last) season at the club, remained calm, despite the alarming performances at the most crucial of times for Celtic. He knew he needed to lead the players and the entire club through a difficult period.
I see parallels between Wim and Ange, their softly spoken demeanours, tactical insight and determination to keep all eyes on the prize. Yesterday’s result and performance is not what the manager or anyone wants to see, but bedwetters better wear a nappy, we are in capable hands.

He knows that technically and legally Celtic FC and CBC were/are separate entities but is hoping to make a case that Celtic have a moral responsibility to the victims.
Regardless of what anyone thinks of that, it’s not how the law works.
No sign of Ntcham for Swansea.
What a waste of a talent.
Markiebhoy – I will pass it on but I think he can still see/ lurk.
He emailed Paul67 the other day but Paul has not got back to him as of yet.
WITS I like that “we are all Big Jimmy” apart from the Chumps.
Or as Spartacus would say “I’m Big Jimmy”

Maybe you would have said the same about Henrik after a few games as well….all entitled to our opinions but to write these two off after a handful of games is, in my opinion, ridiculous….
••••••••••
Your ridiculous.
Three quarters of a season is more than “a few games” don’t you think
Cliques are anti-Celtic
Paul’s blog Paul’s rules……….
There ain’t many.

No sign of Ntcham for Swansea.
What a waste of a talent.
Absolutely agree had so much potential too
I also think young Dawson and Doak should be involved in our matchday squad’s at the moment.
Although I understand Ange’s predicament here with them being young and a title run in.

I recall when I referred to members of the cult as dafties I was accused of being disrespectful to those with learning difficulties.
As I say a lot of selective outrage on here, and the selection process is fairly apparent.
To underscore how rubbidge I am at spotting talent in a player – I always thought N’tcham was going to shine in The Hoops……….gutted when he left.
I hate it when talent drifts.
need to get this off my chest, im sitting here in the A and E at warrington hospital waiting for my wife who is undergoing tests for a heart problem, now lets get this straight, I posted to tom mclaughlin the other night about a european cup game back in the late sixties,tom responded, NOTE at no time did i mention big jimmy so have a read back and paul 67 has never red carded me, if you cant come on CQN and give an opinion without a poster downing tools and saying thats it im not posting if he is on , its a bad day,

How many full games have both of these players actually played for us?
Your comment about their worth is based on nothing more than a feeling.
Maeda has played a full season in Japan amd Gio has been injured.
Don’t let the facts get in the way of a poor argument.
Agree on Ntcham. Really thought he was going to be Petrov esque
He was occasionally good. Very good
Just not often enough
I think Ntcham thinks he’s better than he actually is tbh

‘Regardless of what anyone thinks of that, it’s not how the law works.’

They might be able to establish a duty of care whether or not the two entities were legally separate . That’s how the law works.

Love & Hail Hail
I have told Big Packy what I think of him on SC.
I would be red carded here for my post.
He really is a horrible person.
Is that within the rules PAUL67?
Park the bus…….
You’re a bigger pussy than he is.
Fud!
Saw that Phil, no holding back on your comment on SC !
PRESTONPANS BHOYS
He really is the scum of the earth.
I will be really disappointed if, as he says, PUL67 did not red card him.
And, sadly, it looks like he didn’t.
FREEBIGJIMMY1!!!!!!!!
I have to say I did have an interesting conversation with Big Packy on Saturday about Celtic’s European games in the 60s.
I had no knowledge of any previous fall-out with Big Jimmy and took Big Packy’s comments at face value and found him to be decent, friendly and knowledgeable.
Phil
Can’t comment on either because I don’t have any knowledge of previous. As I explained earlier, there are some roasters on here with a free ticket😵
TOM
He runs with the hare and hounds, is a liar, and makes up fantastic stories to make people like him.
He posted on here once that his wife was missing!!!
He had to be told on here to phone the polis.
I can assure you he is an attention seeking arsehole.
Nothin more, nothing less,
PRESTONPANS BHOYS
No problem mate!

•••••••••
Your saying all of these things as if their all my fault.
Is it my fault that these far flung players were signed??
Maede is being mismanaged by a puppet manager who only knows how to play one way.
Gio has been injured and that has what to do with me??
The facts are the scores on the boards whether their inured or whatever is not my fault I didn’t injure him and he’s starting to look like a sicknote that is only my opinion.
These 2 players along with Ange suck its not my fault that there’s a PLC board in place that appoints limited managers and then foists them on to Celtic supporters I don’t pay the PLC salaries because I know what they’ll do. Dominic McKay stunt to sell season tickets etc etc etc
Some other folk need a lot more learning time and that isn’t my fault either.
Take care. 👍
i think Ntcham is a better player than he wants to be
Lets
That’s a conundrum😱

Judges don’t prioritise an opinion above the letter of the law.
Anyway,we’ll see.

Now the first thing I would if my wife was in A and E with a heart issue ………………is post on CQN.
You are a complete wanker.
An attention seeking fud.
Do one.
TOM MCLAUGHLIN on 28TH FEBRUARY 2022 9:05 PM
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘the letter of the law’. It’s an area of common law and it evolves to reflect changing social conditions and attitudes.
