It’s been a long time since we’ve had a home game; 4th August, against Aberdeen. Since then we’ve played five games on the road, three of which involved international travel, with two games in the Highlands.
Statistical analysis shows that form suffers when teams are forced to pile-up away fixtures. Training schedules are interrupted as travel eats into time which would otherwise be spent fine-tuning fitness or working on defensive/forward strategy. Instead Celtic have improved enormously from their Flag Day at the beginning of the month, despite, or perhaps, because, Neil Lennon has indulged in extensive use of a squad rotation policy.
No one at Celtic will be complacent ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League play-off, the ghost of Ross County in 2010 and Inverness in 2011 will see to that. One ‘Big Dan Moment’ is all it takes to turn a comfortable lead into a tight tie with a player deficit, but I suspect Neil Lennon will be more concerned with putting the brakes on his players, rather than motivating them. A calm and organised performance is required.

Glad to be here, thanks!

Saltires.
Thanks for the warning bit nothing pretentious about me.
Ye c wit ye get.hh
If Peter Lawwell says we are cool business wise without a derby rival how can he claim a loss when they are not there and ask for help in a season when Celtic should make great profit?
Fabricated fear to justify non spending buy the consistent conifer.
I remember being at the semi-final at Tynecastle – Scotland v Portugal.
My sons and I were seated right behind the Portuguese bench and some of their squad were sitting in amongst the crowd. My son got Luis Figo’s autograph. Yes, he played for Portugal that night, and I can tell you he too sported a very impressive 5 o’clock shadow. So maybe he was a cheat as well.

I recall PL said we don’t need oldco…..and we don’t …….. For some years now acceptable aggressive marketing has been employed by many clubs to maximise SB sales…..
The day will never come when any Club with integrity would need a club as unashamedly hateful and arrogant as oldco …….HH
EN –
Could BOTH statements not be true?
ie, We will lose a bit of income in the absence of the hun games . . .
. . . but it won’t kill us financially.
Allegedly as of today Sevco ticket office is refusing to sell season tickets by credit card or cheque, the only way ex Ragers fans can get one, is by going to Ibrox and paying cash.

Isn’t it about this time of the day….that the garden gnomes manning the white picket-fence get their daily inspection ….to make sure they are prepared to repel any nocturnal invasion..by ‘Uppity Native Australians’….or’ Very Cross Koala Bears’..Demanding ‘Justice For Skippy”…??

Saltires. I have to disagree with the use of the word “trying”.
Only saying like. ; )

I’d love to help out but I have a young child and family commitments. However, i would be interested in donating to the fund and helping out the charity in other ways if that is possible.
Thanks for the welcome.

That Chris Graham rant has made my night. So ill-informed it beggars belief.
And if he thinks John Greig and Walter Smith are blameless… well he is in for some big surprises
Thegreenfaerie, welcome to the best Celtic blog in the world.
O.G.Rafferty –
I heard that when Walter burst on the “newco” scene a couple of months ago and started making noises about being involved in takeovers, a friendly “man in the know” had a wee word in his ear, which resulted in him withdrawing very quickly and disappearing back into the abyss.
It will all come out in the wash.
Thegreenfarie……. You a huness?

Smith, the man with one EBT at Everton and then another one at Scotland? Surely not
” And without a doubt the European Cup is on its way to Glasgow”
Barcabhoy where are you ???
*tears stream*
Anyway,
Buried my mate today, a vegetable farmer.
There was a big turnip at the funeral.
Wasn’t sure of the root there. And when I go there eventually they wouldn’t lettuce in.
Hail! Hail!

Who are decent human beings going to listen to a man out in Syria or a clown like Graham ranting on a blog.

Tom I agree but I think Lawwell is exaggerating lost as you agreed in your post.
League win, CL games, three full houses at premion price, no change to insignificant tv deal v loss of two full houses? Lawwell pish.

I am not a huness, i can assure you of that. I am not a timess either, i am just a tim or timerooney, so no need to worry. Sorry for late reply, i was looking through some of the older posts, really good reading.

Funeral continued…….
We ended up at St. Peters graveyard Dalbeth, and, coming back from the lair, I said to my mate-
“did you know the guy who invented crosswords is buried here?”
” no, where?” said my mate.
” over there, 10 down and 4 across.”

I notice a lot of posters having problems using CQN on IE, and the popular resolution would appear to be “download google chrome”.
Does that mean CQN is no longer available in IE and that we have no choice but to use chrome?
=============================
Not necessarily. I had the problem and tried Chrome to be told I had too many cookies directing the browser and delete cookies.
I did so in Inernet Explorer but still had the problem of the Twitter Oage loading. I got around it and continue to use IE by refreshing the page but placing the cursor over thye top left of the screen where the option to Login appears before it all turns to a Twitter page.
When I managed to call up the loginpage I logged in again but was careful not to pick the Facebook or Twitter Login option which is where I think the problem came in the first place. I have been able to access OK from PC since.
Lord how did a wretch like me be given the honour of supporting the Celtic?
